Considering I use to be a Brony, and Bungle is my internet home (Although we only have, like, two users who still have any remote interest in the show anymore), I have a lot to say about this.

I really don't like the Brony community anymore and, in all honesty, I never really did. I liked the show, and was caught up in a little fad because of what I now think was a need to, "Fit in," but it made me happy, and I'm fine with that. It's not a time of my life I'm ashamed of. Embarrassed? Definitely? Ashamed? No, I didn't do anything wrong, and I can definitely say I was content for a while during that time of my life.

The issue is how obnoxious the community can be. It's weird enough that a lot of guys started watching a show meant for little girls, and I think criticizing them solely because of that is unnecessary, cruel, and stupid. That being said, some members of the fanbase are just too outspoken. They never shut up about the show, how good it may be, or how much it means to them. Like any other group, the most outspoken people are the ones that ultimately reflect on the community in the eyes of an outsider. It happens with anything, it's why, "Fanboys" are so often what we think of when we just hear the word, "Fan."

I think the predominantly male-centric roles people have been assigned are dumb. I like feminism, I like gender equality, and I like to think that people can watch or engage in whatever they want so long as nobody's getting hurt. These are things that contrast why so many people have an issue with the basic concept of men watching a girl's show. In spite of all of that, I don't think those are exactly the primary issues people have. I think that if the Brony community was just, "A thing," and wasn't so needlessly loud sometimes, people wouldn't be so demeaning about it.

Would a lot of us still be dicks? Yeah, but rude and pretentious people are just that; rude and pretentious. There's no shame in getting involved in something innocent, or watching a TV show if you want to. Just don't try to spread it like wildfire and creep it into every other form of media possible just to express "We're here! This is what we do! Look at us!" If you aren't doing that, then there's no issue to be spoken of. Let people live their lives happily.

The show isn't even good. If it was good, I could understand. But its literally a second rate childrens show. At least obsess over a good childrens show like Hey Arnold or Doug.

Also, The adult male fans are 99.9% weirdos. I mean, its cool that you watch the show, but to go ton conventions specifically for a pony show, its fucking weird. Like half of y'all are over 25, shouldn't you have responsibilities by now?

Huh, i've never been to any convention now that I think about it...
And wierdos? Should we really be talking here? Everyone on Sep7agon is a wierdo.

Some people on here are weird, but after having conversations with a lot of people here, most are just normal people.

But if you see pictures from a pony convention, you can easily tell the vast majority aren't normal.

Literally nothing

I'm honestly indifferent to it at this point.

"Normal" can be objective sometimes.

But I do get what you mean, I won't be wearing a Rainbow Dash outfit in this lifetime >.>

Because it's shit
You're shit
The fans are shit
Kill yourself

Just making sure, you do know this is in Serious right?

This only concerns the people who have said things against this in the past.

What makes you hate/dislike the Brony community?

I think i'm the only person here(except maybe Flee) who has ever talked about My Little Pony, and most of the time I tend to keep the chat of it at a minimum.
But then I switched to this avatar, and it showed me your opinions, whether they were sarcastic or not, definitely don't go well with Bronies. Especially you Challenger.
So I am posting this in the Serious Section, and await your opinions. I'm not offended, mad or crying. I'm just curious on what you guys honestly think.

mhmmm your interest in a little kid TV show with ponies and wanting to play horsey as an to anyone over the age of 16 is weird dude. Throw in the factor you a male is just wrong. Your not one of them but I seem to find the brony community to be very vocal about their fandom and recruitment

Great...this isn't in serious anymore.

THANKS MODS.

Now my question is basically useless. I'm done here

Not anymore. It was moved, because this sort of thing doesn't really belong in Serious.

Why, exactly?

That's a problem though, because now look what's being posted?

By limiting the Serious section to that it makes any other topic turn into this shit.

I disagree with the idea that the topic isn't relevant to any of those issues, but I won't fuss about it.
