No.
>>
>>81711778
Maybe. I don't know.
>>
It is for the reboot. As they stated this is going to be directed to young girls.
>>
not if you were a little gay boy.
>>
Can you repeat the question?
>>
>>81711820
>>81711856
CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION
>>
>>81711778
Yes. Only gay nerds liked.

You should feel bad for yourself for even asking this question
>>
>>81711778
This premiered when I was in junior high and I can tell you everyone watched it. Jocks, preps, nerds, dweebs, 'tards, spazzos, crotch-abusers. Everyone.

There was a grade school "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
>>
I didn't tell anyone at school, but my sister always hammered me for it.

This.
I knew other guys who watched it, but you didn't admit it unless around close friends.

Hell I remember kids getting made fun of because they liked X-Men...X-MEN.
>>
I was in grade school when most of the show's run and people didn't give a shit.

I admitted it, somehow that was attractive to girls. I scored a date with a girl in 6th grade once just because of it.

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW

I remember being surprised that the first time I heard someone imply it was for girls

I always just considered it another show like Dexter or Johnny Brave

The moment you entered adolescence most other kids would mock and berate you for associating with any cartoons at all.

At least in my town.
>>
>>81711778
I was an adult when it came out so I didn't care.
>>
>>81711778
No. It's considered weird for you grown assistance adults to watch it though
>>
>>81711884
Eh, it's only weird in the same way that a guy liking MLP is weird. Which is to say, nobody actually finds it weird, but everyone thinks that OTHER people find it weird.

The people who say the original ppg was for girls have never watched it.

We have this thread on a daily basis
>>
>>81715892
Pretty much. It was your basic superhero/comedy cartoon with a cute title and cute main characters
>>
>>81715892
It had girl heroes.

As a little kid, if you're a boy and have girl heroes, you're a fag and will be treated thusly.

Not my rules, kid rules.
>>
Who cares? Like what you like, OP.
>>
It was a cool show honestly. My dad liked it too.
Now shit like MLP....
>>
>>81715402
scary

I personally beat the shit out of a kid for drawing Powerpuff Girls in class, I watched it too but I didn't tell anybody that.

Well really, I just stole his notepad and teased him, when everyone else joined in he got uppity and tried to take it back so I smacked him over the head with it and we got in a fight and I proceeded to whoop him.

This

Sure, we know better now, but back then, it was arbitrary as fuck.

Wow, these so called 'kids' are full of shit then, I don't like them.

Did you two fuck afterwards?
>>
I dunno, honestly I think I would have got much more flak for people knowing I watched sailor moon with the girl next door the power puff girls

before you ask, no and never.

Ok I won't ask if you fucked her.
But did you fuck her?
>>
>>81717627
Nah, not my type and plus as we got older she turned juggalo on me and wrote yu yu hakusho fan fiction.

Plus ham beast
>>
>>81717746

why was she not your type? other than being a ham beast

Ever met your standard weeb that goes to your high schools anime club?

That turned up to 11
>>
>>81717926
still pussy is pussy and i bet if she got close to you or you got comfortable enough to get close to her you'd be at least a little turned on.
>>
>he stop responding
just be honest dweeb. im doing this to know more about how men work i dont want to masturbate to this
>>
>>81718499
But why though?

Also to answer your question

more then likely yeah, I mean I have done the deed with chubby and fat and in all honesty it's not that bad. I just had no real desire to persue it.

Also I got 4 other threads at going at once.
>>
>>81711778
Back in the day? No. It was an action cartoon that happened to have little girls as the protagonists. The stories were more reminiscent of 80s comic books, or scooby doo than my little ponies or barbie. Even when they did stories with a moral or lesson, it was often tongue in cheek, or at least light hearted.

The new one? I dunno. Didn't bother watching it since none of the original people who made the first one awesome is not even attached to it.
>>
>>81718796

i talked with a male buddy of mine about which girls he would fuck. and i didn't understand his preferences that much. pretty basic reason but eh
>>
>>81718891
that's cool, but what do you mean by that? What did he say?
>>
>>81718499
If you want a dick just get him drunk
thats what my gf did to me, once he gets a taste he'll come back for more
>>
>>81718864
>than my little ponies

The MLP original animation was darker than PPG considering it involved demons trying to enslave ponies and wasn't played for laughs at all, but was serious about it.
>>
>>81717126
>reveling in some bullying you did in as a kid

Wow. Yer so kewl senpai.
>>
>>81712161
>Hell I remember kids getting made fun of because they liked X-Men...X-MEN.
It's always arbitrary as fuck with kids

>>81711778
Fuck yeah, it was
>>
I didn't watch it as a kid since "It's about girls, so it must be girly."
>>
no faggot
>>
>>81711778
I watched the show for the action and slapstick comedy.

The design however is pretty cutesy but watching bad guys teeth flying and nose bleeding is kind of fun.
>>
>>81711778
Because of the sex appeal of the title characters. They look especially pretty in the Mary Janes.
>>
My dad wouldn't let me rent a PPG VHS one time when I was like 4 or 5.
Meanwhile he'd always let me watch the show with the huge, hulking Japanese guys beating the shit out of each other

I never really saw a problem with watching it as a kid. I loved as much as Dexter's, Johnny Bravo, EEnE, and Courage.

Despite being called the Powerpuff Girls, it was never specifically catered for girls.

The new one is pandering as a GRRL POWER show though
>>
>>81723470
It came from a key animator on Dexter's Lab and the creator of same put in work on PPG.
>>
Everybody who said it wasn't wasn't alive during it's initial run, which was in a time where gaybashing was still a national passtime and before schools actually did anything about bullying.

Reminds me of when I was a little kid and I went to a weird disco Halloween party dressed up as Bubbles, and this girl I hated thought it would be good idea to go as Buttercup. We ended up outside beating the shit out of each other. She somehow even managed to pull my whole nail out from under the skin and I made her lose one of her permanent front teeth.

My childhood was pretty aggressive in hindsight so I could relate to the powerpuff girls and violent shows.
>>
>>81711955
Honest to god, this. You just didn't talk about it and waited for your friends to slowly hint that maybe they liked it too.

Honestly the only guys who thought it was for girls were the ones who hadn't watched. I know I did until I caught some of it.
>>
>>81723761
Yeah I realized that at around 6 or 7 when I saw Dexter cameo in an episode and finally noticed Genndy Tartokovsky's name in the credits
