No, they are not. Pretty much every brony I’ve met is either a full time college student or a college graduate with a full time job (including myself). We are simply capable of recognizing an awesome and hilarious cartoon when we see one, and don’t think themes that are perceived as “child-like” or “girly” should stop us from liking it.
I got like 6-8 or someshit. That char REALLY makes no sense.

This, it has nothing to do with living at home. I consider Ono a man child he carries around a McDonald’s toy, cosplay’s as Blanka, writes weird tweets like I couldn’t get Karin on the phone I try later.
so after i graduated i moved back in with my parents and lived there til i was 25. i saved enough money and bought a condo. its a 3 story townhouse with two bedroom, 2.5 bath, two car tandem garage, plus a den. been living on my own ever since. moving out is overrated.
only issue was getting laid which i solved via creative means… now that i’m living by myself i can bring girls back to my place and work my magic legit.
Living with your parents to save money to advance yourself doesn’t make you a manchild. It’s all these other faggots that coast thru life while living shoving their deviant lifestyles in your face like a badge of honor that are the ones that have issues. All you did was sacrifice freedom to do what you want for a chance to have REAL freedom. Scrubs wouldn’t know that since they think getting a free ride from their rents or the government while sewing together fursuits is heaven.

I have two friends who are bronies and they have jobs, their own cars, places, and other hobbies and interests outside of ponies.
I got pissed at my boss and called him a gigantic man baby. He literally looks like when Henry Winkler is imagining baby heads on other people, in the Waterboy.
I fucking hate my boss
That’s a good way to put it. “Manchild” and “Lives at Home” often go hand-in-hand, yet aren’t mutually exclusive. I have a 50 year-old Otaku uncle who makes custom lightsabers and made a perfect replica of the Milennium Falcon, hosts a collection of firearms, katanas, and other dangerous objects, owns a full batman suit that he sometimes wears, has an odd obsession with Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and is the owner of what could be considered a personal museum of anime and ecchi statuettes (including a life-sized, anatomically-correct Chobits doll with groomable hair), so the fact that he also lives with and helps out grandpa is not the sole factor determining his status as “Manchild.”
I just realized how weird and stupid this post was.
Still at home with the parents. Only pay the water bill/my phone bill/my own stuff. Bought my car all my money. College didn’t work out(my fault) since I’ve never really tried that hard nor was I raised to. But now ever since I’ve been working, I’m thinking about money. About expenses and such. I’m too undisciplined now to juggle two jobs/studying/working out but I’m aiming to fix that in the next couple months. Once I reach that point I’m going to at least work completely full time, save up, try to get my shit together and move out. While living here isn’t bad, it makes me feel like a leech. Feels dirty you know? I’m getting restless, I need something to happen and I have to make it happen myself. Dunno how some people easily sleep by leeching off their parents with no plan in sight. Screw that. The way the I see the world now, especially since I started working, no one is going to back you up or anything. Everyone retreats to their own private corner in the world and at the end of it all, there’s only you. So you need to do what needs to be done to stand on your own two feet.

Funny this coming from someone with an avatar from One Piece.
Or maybe since One Piece is a cartoon aimed for little boys, is alright.
Also One Piece is the truth.
LOL@ People going above and beyond to talk shit about a fraction of a community.
By fraction you mean 9/10ths?
So anyone want to tell me what the female equivalent is?
Bronies are alright I guess, I’ve never met one.
That’s what I’m sayin’ man. If I wanted to be 10s of thousands of dollars in debt I would go to a main campus, but Hell no, community college classes and branch classes for me. Instead I’m only thousands of dollars in debt. :

It’s only paper, knowing people from the institutions where you want to put yourself is the only way to get a career (in my eyes, I’m still just a college kid going in between jobs living at home) unless you’re rich enough to actually pursue an arts degree and write bs for a living.
Last time I checked, One Piece and majority of “Shonen Manga” are targeted for “young males,” which isn’t a “cartoon,” but a Japanese comic book.
Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka himself said he targeted it for “everyone,” including his daughter, who doesn’t care, because it isn’t “girly” and I’ve been reading it for ten years.
Stop trying to justify grown ass niggas loving actual cartoons aimed for little children.
lol comparing sugars & rainbows ponies to an adventure story with fighting, poop jokes and fanservice for males. Are you stupid? 
What isn’t stupid, but funny, is that you guys are arguing over fictional characters (ponies and pirates at that) in a thread about being a manchild.
This would have made my day if it wasn’t already made by skating with good pals earlier.
Actually, One Piece is a manga, which was turned into an anime (which means japanese cartoon - which means One Piece IS a cartoon). And Shonen manga/anime “refers to manga/anime marketed to a male audience aged roughly 10 and up”, quoting wikipedia.
And maybe you can show me where did I compare One piece with “bronies & ponies”. Actually, I have the slightest idea what “bronies” means. I thought you were talking about shojo anime (ex. Sailor Moon).
On topic: I think this whole " you have to leave your parents and live on your own" mentality is typical american. Where I live (eastern Europe), living with your parents when your past your twenties is something common (unless you are married). It’s all about how well you get along with your parents.
The creator of MLP said that it’s designed to be appreciated by all ages, too. Everyone fucking says this, nobody really wants to pigeonhole their audience into a small niche group.
I stopped watching MLP when it stopped being funny but I am heavily amused by how you talk down to the “bronies” (augh I hate this term forever) for trying to justify their hobby when your entire fucking post is justifying why One Piece is for some arbitrary reason “different”.
Nice to see this is the direction this thread has taken.
