From the comic blog:

I talked to one of the guys at Hasbro (a Hasbrony?) about the Brony phenomenon. He said their official policy is “we don’t get it, but we love it.” He confirmed my suspicion that they are careful NOT to cater to Bronies with the production of the show or the official merchandise, because it would probably have the opposite effect and drive them away.

Hit the source to read the rest.

BULLSHIT they don't cater. That's totally why Derpy scrunchy-faces after the fight with the Mayor.
Why there's a near-Roboshi chasing the doll.
0203 was a goddamn low.

You got a point with Derpy, but that's been stated to be one thing that is directed at us.

The rest is your imagination at work.

Catering to us?
wishful. Thinking.

I am driven to wonder just how good the ratings for the show are with the actual target audience...

Careful, buddy, he might give you that brohoof in your face!

The OWS protest is a plea for the job-makers to hire Americans. Job-makers counter that they can't do that unless they are assured they are competitively priced with the WORLD marketplace. In order to do that, they'll have to kill minimum wage, and labor laws, so they would "pay on performance." That's pretty vague, but is already done, and abused by Wal-mart suppliers to keep costs down. Their workers' hourly pay floats up and down depending on the quotas, and how soon the trucks meet their destinations. Do we want that kind of pay to be the norm? Are our landlords going to accept a reduced rent? Are our banks going to hold off foreclosure since your wages won't completely meet the payments? You know the answer.

Maybe the artists just do what they want. Ever thought of that?
Maybe Ep3 had no "brony" references at all and you just imagined it.

Mabye the show is in fact all in our minds...
Mabye everyone in the fandom just wanted to have something in common and created the FiM from nothing...
Mabye thats why there is so much hate for bronies, those who hate it can't see it...

Except for the latest one with Twilight, all the pony madness episodes were written before the show even began airing. How could they cater to a fanbase that didn't exist yet?

You all realize that bronies are, in fact, a very, VERY small compared to the target audience.

We aren't as big as you think we are.

There could be no bronies and the show would probably not be affected.

I'll say it before, I'll say it again:

Written != drawn. Just because the episode was WRITTEN before bronies does not mean that it was ANIMATED before bronies. So we get visual jokes first.

^@520 A pony with blue hair and a white coat...OH SHIT IT MUST BE ROBOSHI, THOSE PANDERING FUCKS.

Seriously? Some bronies need to get over their undeserved sense of self-importance. The showrunners do what pleases THEM, and what pleases them probably doesn't include, anywhere in that list, "Pandering to a bunch of overly-entitled assholes on the internet who like to bitch about everything as though they're owed something."

OK, ARE bronies overweight and stupid? I'm getting sick it seeing it in all the "parody" comics.

Which, hypocritically, are usually video game and nerd comics themselves.

But doesn't overweight, hairy, stupid and possibly creepy describe your stereotypical "internet denizen"?

I don't think it's so much a brony thing as much as it is a "random internet adult #07" type thing.

^Yes but the lack of our entitled neckbeard makes us look more efeminate compared to the average internerd. You know that's on purpose!

lol I knew that this was going to be posted here xD
I think it's funny, especially Rainbow Dude.

But Joel has not really room to talk, what with his obsession over Dr. Who and other things Sci-Fi.
