I don't think there is anything positive about more american men appreciating my little pony.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The site claimed gun control killed 56 million people.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'm sure Persians could've protected themselves better from the exterminating Mongols if they all had .357 or 9mm handguns.

I spend some time in Ponyville and Canterlot when I TF2.

It's no weeabootique, but it's a poor second.

Ponys are a crucial step to american men accepting moe, and a positive cultural development.

I think that the young men who have succumbed to ponyism are already the sort who embrace 'moe' culture, and so it's not really a step at all.  It's just another way for an out-there subculture to further alienate itself from the mainstream.

 You'd be surprised. I've heard the otherwise laid-back, friendly community of bronies putting down anime, but for the most part they've just never tried it.

A majority of them have never heard of K-on!, which they would probably greatly enjoy. Japanese cultural imperialism has receded greatly since the days of toonami.
