Low C Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Never met one of them in real life probably because i'm not in school anymore where people are generally looking for a place to belong. People generally grow out of silly fads once they enter the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think the whole bronie thing was a small group of guys trying to be ironic. Then out of that other people on the sidelines got into it because you would already see groups of people posting it all over the internet. The people on the sidelines grew to love it and became bronies. The original trend starters moved on to something else already. Thats my theory but who knows maybe it all started because they really loved the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racheya Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I like MLP, I love the characters and, quite simply, I think its pretty. That's enough for me to watch something - being an anime watcher I never had any compunction about watching it. I'm not insane or mental about it. Its just any other fandom. There's the crazies and the sexual ones and then there's the majority of sane fans who just like it. They don't want to have sex with Twilight or anything. And even there are some that do, I don't really see what it matters to any of us. Unless its being shoved in your face, but any fandom is horrible when it starts doing that.

Vezon Dash Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The problem is that a lot of the bronies on the Internet are the really hardcore shoveitinyourface kind of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The problem is that a lot of the bronies on the Internet are the really hardcore shoveitinyourface kind of people.I'm pretty sure that could be explained by the GIFT. The trend did, after all, start in that wretched hive of scum and villainy that we all know and love.

Kirschen Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The problem is that a lot of the bronies on the Internet are the really hardcore shoveitinyourface kind of people. You could apply this to any fandom given how they can appear/be worse based on how vocal they can get. Alg: Didn't it start there just because someone dissed the show, resulting in someone from that said hive (and I think I know what you are referring to) sampling the show and liking it?

Tesset Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 To be fair, sometimes you don't discover something unless it's being shoved in your face. I mean, I pestered my roommates for a couple weeks to watch Avatar before they did, and they really enjoyed it. We watched the whole thing in less than a week, between school and work and different schedules, and after the first session they always started without me, so it's not like I'm just assuming they liked it. I also feel like the Brony community has calmed down *a lot* in the last year. When it started up, it was as bad as any other meme, with references anywhere they didn't fit, but I don't see it nearly as much any more. I'm unsure if this is solely because I'm on the internet less now, but it's not like I visit fewer sites than I used to; if anything, I surf a wider variety now than I have in the past. My skin is finally getting softI'll scrub until the damn thing comes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalphite Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 One of my worst memories involves a time where I picked up a carful of friends to go to another friend's bonfire, and three of them ended up being closet bronies and played my little pony remixes the whole half hour car ride up there before making everyone at the bonfire watch three episodes of the shit. Needless to say, none of them have ever ridden shotgun in my car or have been given music privileges since then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpent Eye Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 It isn't for me, but other people can knock themselves out! I'm approaching 25 and I'm obsessed with Harry Potter and play RuneScape... don't think I can judge people for liking MLP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maze Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I used to like MLP but stopped once the fanbase got out of control. The first season is actually decent, but the second season felt like it pandered way too much to the "brony" crowd (the chocolate rain thing and Derpy talking). Bronies nowadays are annoying as [bleep]. They constantly shove their show down people's throats and I feel so much second-hand embarrassment when they announce it in public settings.
