Well, after listening to that whole commotion with Fox and bronies, I can understand why they made fun of them in the first place.


So allow me to explain, in the form of a poorly drawn low quality comic!

I've never heard of a brony that hasn't seen all the episodes many times.

Replace "Almost has never even seen the show" with "Buys all hasbro toys compulsively" and add "According to Fox" underneath or behind "Brony". That should make it perfect.

Yes, I meant to add that to something else. Thank you for pointing it out to me.

Look at ponychan vs hardcore bronies
Ponychan: RAINBOWDASH IS MY FAVOURITE! I LOVE TO PUT BIG MAC AND FLUTTERSHY TOGETHER IN MY FAN ART CAUSE THE ATTRACTION BETWEEN THEM IS SO TENSE BLAH BLAH BLAH!

Hardcore Brony: So what's your favourite episode?

Ponychan: Oh I've never watched the show..

What part of ponychan are you going to? Maybe /merch/ can get that way occasionally...

Half of the discussions there are just "ITT: We overthink this aspect of the show".

Hell, one of my tabs open right now is people debating the mythology behind NMM.

In general, most of ponychan isn't like that. That is my point.

Picking out the worst examples of anything is pretty easy, but don't say that the worst of a group is what the group is like "in general". That's just annoying to anyone who has ever identified with that group.

I won't bother picking an example, because there are so many examples of it that it should be easy, and odds are it happened to you before, so hopefully you can understand my irritation.

Ponies, political affiliations, religions, anime, video games, anything. Take your pick of something that has the worst get stereotyped as the general.

Edited to make it seem more accurate (to me).

I feel like this has potential. There needs to be some sort of template for it...

That's sort of what my intention was. I wanted to come up with a classification that everypony here could identify with. I know I probably missed at least one or two people, but I think that mine encompassed most people here.

What is it?
Also, bronies have been referring to the ponies wrong.
it's Twilight Sparkle™ and Pinkie Pie™!

Sure Im a brony but I don't go around buying all the merchandise and replacing all socializing with ponies, I think the people who do stuff like that become more than bronies. They become obsessed and should probably see a doctor of some sorts Posted Image just saying

I buy merchandise, I buy the clothing, I watch/download the episodes, I talk about it a lot with my brony friends, but I would call myself obsessed. I still act normally around my non-brony friends. They think I'm weird because I'm a brony, but they don't make fun like they used to.

What i meant is the kind of people who take it all too far, like who hide in their house and shut out the rest of the world as they watch friendship is magic and play with the dolls/toys/etc.

Anyone who becomes a shut-in creepy fan of anything has a problem, that's not limited to pony fans. People who are fans of star trek get that way too, but normal trekkies are just fine.

The definition of Brony being used in here is the kind FOX made fun of. The Man baby shut-in disability claiming ones.

Aside from an entire army of surprise-bag ponies (a literal army, they're converted to be Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine bikers) and an assortment of single-sized figures, I also picked up the plush blanket thing. I am wrapped in the warm fuzzies of the sun goddess as I type this.

I've set my facebook religion to brony, if that counts for something. I've been thinking about getting a RD shirt, but I think shipping to mainland europe might be a problem. All my friends are non-brony, but I still annoy them with a quote here and there and a few PMV's here and there.

Anyhooves, I think that building pony-stuff on a FiM themed server puts all of us a grade above casual pony fans. Being as dedicated to a show to the point where you try to recreate the in-show environment has to count for something.

Hmm, true on that, yesterday I spent about an hour making a MLP themed doorbell for my house on Northern Ponyville haha, maybe I am more then a fan.
