Today, my 19-year-old brother subjected me to yet another rant about how the writers of My Little Pony aren't writing the show for people like him any more, the "true fans", otherwise known as pimply-faced adults who don't use deodorant and only shower once a week. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my brother's refused to shower after 2 weeks of dripping sweat and never changing clothes. He claims the smell is just his "manly musk" and if I can't handle it, then maybe I'm the problem. FML
Today, I taught my 12-year-old brothers that showering cannot be used as a substitute for deodorant, and that they should use both. One of them was almost in tears. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son begged me to pre-order the next season of My Little Pony. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that your little brother is not joking when he threatens to shave your eyebrows if you don't let him watch cartoons. FML
Today, I actually had to teach my 9-year-old brother how to pour himself a glass of milk, after he burst out in tears when my sister told him to do it himself. His astonishing ignorance also extends to basic hygiene. FML
Today, I'm faced with the prospect of having to defend my sister from a herd of very angry bronies. FML
Today, my 19 year-old brother called me a moron and told me to go read a book, after I corrected him when he said girls don't have colons. FML
Today, I was trolling on a My Little Pony forum. I was midway through typing a big post, calling them all a bunch of attention-seeking losers who act like morons because their parents never loved them, when I broke down in tears, realizing I'd just perfectly described myself. FML
Today, I had to supervise my 9 year-old nephew taking a shower, because he won't wash with soap or shampoo unless someone makes him. Instead, he blows three-inch-long green and brown boogers out of his nose that dangle from his nostril. He's disgusting and hasn't even hit puberty yet. This is future of the world. FML
Today, I explained to my teenage daughter that enough was enough and she needed to start shaving her armpits again, stating it was unladylike and unsanitary. Her only response was, "If it's so unsanitary, why don't you make my brother do it?" I give up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

My husband is a Brony and he is turning 30 in 2014, he is the boss of a major internet company in Australia that offers internet support and security to many well known companies. He is isn't a pimply-faced adult who doesn't use deodorant and only shower once a week, and he is the polar opposite of being girly. Sorry to burst your idiot brothers bubble. I use to tease the crap out of him for liking MLP but its alot more common than you think when I looked into it, I'd hate to stereotype but I still think it's really girly.

While I'm the first to agree that it's okay to like something you are "too old" for, your brother is an idiot for basically calling children "fake fans". This is what I hate about this new wave of people who like something that's generally unheard of or uncommon, they think they are the only ones entitled to like it. The show IS geared towards a younger audience and he is by no means a "true fan" if he doesn't get that. Kindof makes me wonder what the show is doing now because it didn't have that many adult themes to begin with... Also although your brother sounds like an annoying person, you should really stop being a closed-minded judgmental shit. Just because HE might be like that doesn't mean all adult fans of the show are. Not liking the show is fine but there's no need to insult other people.

" as pimply-faced adults who don't use deodorant and only shower once a week" As a fan of My Little Pony, I am highly insulted by that statement

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic was intended to be bearable for parents to watch with their children. It wasn't ever made for the brony fandom. Granted, Hasbro is being very generous towards bronies, and support the brony fandom, it's not a show for the bronies, its a show for younger kids.

Awwe, you guys are so cute and naive with your hatred towards a show and it's fans. It's not your fault you are all so ignorant. Just a product of poor schooling.

I am fond of the show, and have been to many places seeing what is pimply faced weirdos... If anyone would love to be in a convention, be my guest, just hold out on the strangers....

Your brother is stupid. Not because he is a brony, but because he complains about nothing...
