- On Canadian Radio, Jian Ghomeshi talked to WSJ reporter Vauhini Vara about the unexpected subculture of "Bronies" - guys who are sincerely obsessed with the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
This thriving subculture of tech-savvy guys in their teens, 20s and 30s includes numerous online communities and websites; local get-togethers and conventions, and even Pony fan art and music.

This is one of the best unbiased coverage of Bronies I've seen. And look at how long the recording is!
I'm willing to argue that most Bronies aren't cloppers from what I've seen. Of course there ARE going to be some who are, but that's likely with any fandom. Especially with one as large as the Brony fandom.
It's sad really. I have lived in the Rocky Mountains all my life and I see the disparity between the rural farmers who work their asses of each and every day and today's youth who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. I live in a small but fairly rich community surrounded by farming land and few kids have worked on these farms or even work. My parents taught me a good work ethic when I was young though. I adore this nation and what it stood/stands for but it has fallen from glory.
00:47 reminded me of Sweetie Belle in Lesson Zero
I really like their brushable...manes?
I give the reporting lady some props for being fantastically accurate compared to the 'research' of other media reports.
You english canadian dudes are lucky to have such an amazing topic like that Brony Phenom. Why don't we have that in Québec :(
fluttershy's mouth was in sync with the guys at about 12:18 xD
The percentage of cloppers to non-cloppers in the brony fandom is probably the same as it is in other fandoms, but as the brony fandom is so insanely productive that the amount of sexually charged artwork will make it seem like we're all cloppers.
What is it with people criticising reporters (not journalists in this case) for using certain words correctly?
I could understand criticising reporters and journalists for bad grammar or language use, but this? Why?
Every Canadian is trained in Hockey-fu. And if that fails, we keep a Newfoundlander handy to stun the invader with confusion long enough for us to sick our attack caribou on them. By that point the invader is well subdued and we offer them a beer while we wait for the Mounties to arrive, eh.
A grown ass man who doesn't spit in people's faces for enjoying something.
I agree I did an experiment where I turned safe search off in google images and searched friendship is magic fan art and it took several pages of searching to find a proper R34 image.
that's why I love living in Canada. If an American program does a segment on Bronies, they liken us to mentally disabled man-children who are leaching off society. But a Canadian program like this one will actually do research, interview people involved, and give us props. Bronies display "neo-sincerity", eh? I like the sound of that.
When the length of a video is 13:37, you know it's going to be good.
And nobody here was overusing any words to the degree of it being bad grammar.
Something is rotten in the whole world, bronies have nothing to do with it.
I love how this video is 13:37 in length.
Well the third time he was actually specifically NOT giving us a shoutout lol.
I agree with Scott. If you would have told me 8 months ago that I would be watching and loving a show called "MY LITTLE PONY" I would have called you crazy...
Moral of the story is, don't judge a book by its cover.
they have flaws like applejack: she often lets her pride get in her way of accepting help from friends
Rarity: she has a trouble making time for friends with her scedual and often makes the mistake of puting busniess first. not to mention she has moments of lust and greed with or without discords help
twilight: she has trouble being herself with her friends as she's never really had any
pinkiepie: has a need to party but is very insecure about herself
I'd say more but youtube character limit
Oh also, they could've mentioned how amazingly artistic we are....but it was still a well-done report.
what is it with journalists and the word "savvy"? They're like 5 year old's who just found a new word
USA: my little pony? must be for girls
Canada: *research* hey this isn't a bad show
Funny how media reports on Bronies always refer to Neighslayer immediately when talking about brony music, like they're huge in the fandom (FYI, they aren't actually that big), and fail to mention Glaze, Forest Rain, Alex S, Odyssey Eurobeat, MicTheMicrophone, Cyril, AJtheEngineer, BeatleBronies, AcousticBrony, Mandopony, etc, all of whom are hugely popular in the fandom. Just a funny thing I noticed.
Lol, the video length "1337"
@sonicblew MLP brought me out of a serious depression. It has become my only escape from a cruel, impure world. I am a brony, and we are not trolls.
some faith has been restored in humanity, now we need to bring forth cthulu
I could never live in a country that had no domestic automobiles and the national sport involved men on skates holding mutant golf clubs.
It'd be pretty damn hard to be less respectful than Fox.
When outside looking in one only knows what they hear and rarely receive a context. So i am certain that wasn't a joke.
At first, I myself also found the theme song kinda annoying on instinct and didn't think I'd be into it that much even if I was into the show. Then, after watching a few episodes, I got used to it and now think it's a pretty nice intro.
I love how this guy pretty much has recently been turn into a Brony! Welcome to the herd!
I'm glad to live in Canada!
Canadian brony REPRESENTING!
As a Canadian, I'm sorry! I do believe that Canadian's are a proud lot, but who isn't :P have a nice evening!
Ah, but here's the trick. When the drunk Texas ex-Marines come up here, we'll offer them a beer. One sip of Canadian beer and they'll be too drunk to move. Give them some poutine, turn the hockey game on, and by the time that the American police show up to pick up their boys, they'll all be in recliners wearing hockey jerseys and saying "No doot a'boot it, eh"
Canada: the Good -Guy-Greg of the United Nations. On a side note, we're all very sorry for Justin Bieber.
Yeah, bro-hoof! /)
Let me ask you: is Winter Wrap-Up still in your head? I can't get it out no matter what I try (not that I really want it to).
I am not really a computer I just find this show randomly ?
Glad to see we Bronys are defended by the media somewhere
I do, and I'm proud of it.
Actually the word "brony" comes from 4chans /b/ board were the main battle of the war on 4chan took place. The more ya know
Countries are amazing countries!
I guess that sums up the general rise of popularity of MLP. It's pretty much the most watchable show these days. Hell even the anime got slack these days. IMHO I think that show has huge potential only to be held back by Hasbro's interests and it's orientation to their initial target audience and franchise reputation as girl stuff.
The skyrim music goes good with this for some reason...
Finally some ACCURATE reports!!!!
@didjargo I kinda want to move to Canada after listening to this, and reading your comment. Should I move to Canada? I'm serious.
@David Cook
Are you kidding? This is the best the media has ever treated Bronies!
Phenomenon my eye!
@NostalgiaSchmaltz Wow are you serious? This is the most well researched news about bronies ever done, probably. Also, it's extremely positive. And it's not enough for you because they didn't mention it's for the parents as well? Jeez, some people can't be satisfied. They even said the whole brony phenomenon is "beautiful". Christ.
And of course the only news report that doesn't rip on bronies is the Canadian one.
Of course not. Equating a nation of 300 million people that come from diverse backgrounds, cultures, values systems, religions, and world views to one news show is both immensely erroneous in nature and I don't think many people would have the audacity to do so. However, be it from when I was spending a great deal of time in Ecuador or doing my exchange in Germany, there were no news outlets like Fox to be found. They just didn't exist because the public refused to belief that stupidity.
For 11 year old omg XD and 30 years old are watching this????? enough said but people love to love way to much .
The video is 13:37 long. So fitting.
on a side note, the video is exactly 13:37 long. AWWWWWW YEEAAAAAA
An article on Wall Street Journal?
Damn....
Actually I know female fans that don't like being called pegasisters, partly because it sepsrates them and partly because many don't connect with pegasus.
It pretty much was, only they expelled it something fierce when it got popular.
Well at least he didn't come at it objectively.
I hate how they keep using the term "obsessed" it's more like "highly appealed to"...
Pffft. Canada could be overrun by a bunch of drunk Texas ex-Marines in the back of a Silverado.
I hate it when people put emphasis on the name Rainbow Dash. Only Pinkie Pie can do that!
Rule 34 is just.... No.
Honestly though, you have to deliberately search for those type of images though EQD and other fan sites NEVER post those and ban those that do for good reason
phenomenon makes me think of ufos lol im a alien now.
I'm a 13 year old boy about to turn 14 but am I too young to be a brony ?
The world doesn't need any extra rot.
Canada is pretty much the Good Guy Greg of the world.
in japan. this would not be a problem. they live for stuff like this.. go bronies :)
lol I love how she keeps saying 4chan... not everything is about 4chat guys.
It's actually quite positive. She does not really get 4chan though. But still, I don't think it's "anti-brony" Since they also let the ED guy say something etc.
The "Q" show, heheh. DISCORD!
do you have to ask as long as you like ponies and try to love and tolerate you are more than welcome to call youreself a brony
@StripySniper I believe the proper term is "Brohoof".
Canadian Brony right here!
No guns? How the hell do you defend yourself against home invaders?
I think Q is a pretty cool guy. Eh does research and doesnt afraid of anything.
duh theres a dragon in the background
they misspelled bronys
Except failing to win the Stanley Cup since the early 90s. The Canucks should have won last year, but instead...
This was a pleasant change from the FOX rubbish, but then it is Canadian so more like home. O.K.She didn't quite get it but she didn't seem all that bright and they were not being judgmental and that's what matters
@cugelth3clever I find it hard to believe that it's "well-researched" if they got such a huge 'fact' wrong.
we still get banned on /b/
This Video Time = 1337!!! Therefore Bronies are Awesome!
*Bronie Fist*
Peace out, StripySniper
@sonicblew what are u talking about. i love the show cause it has great characters, songs, and its hilarious all the time. best pony ever is Pinkie Pie. she keeps breaking the fourth wall a lot and has a party cannon. plus the fan art is amazing.
oh come on! You can't blame Canada for that D:> that's cruel even if it is true...
There is no I in Brony.
@lolvks
Q is now Prime Mintser of Canada
@NostalgiaSchmaltz Wow it is true. Some people really are impossible to please.
why more respectful than fox
First News Host I really like! Cool guy :)
If you were on FImFic, I'd do this. :Mustache:
I truly wonder how many bronies there are on this planet.
oh and why is the title of brony spelled bronie???
I don't hate bronies, but I really don't understand them.
they're pegasisters ._.
4chan isn't such a bad place. They have some quite civilized mlp threads on /co/. Just the whole 'techie' thing, no. That's maybe an image they like to cultivate but their true specialty is internet culture.
10:13-10:54 Rainbowdashsalute.jpg
Uhm... they must have never came across rule 34... lucky them...
You can't possibly be serious . . . because that's both ignorant and ridiculous.
Would you expect a girl or woman to not like Star Wars simply because it's aimed at young boys? Because let me tell you, there are PLENTY of female Star Wars fans out there, enough that there's even a girl's clothing line for them. And adult men happen to like a show about ponies which have great characterizations and interesting and funny plots, not to mention the awesome pop-culture references.
Looks like they know nothing about clopping xD
We wón 4chan though. The war is over. We won.
You really wanna do this?
Fine.
Haters are creatures of hell.
There, you got someone to try to trigger a fight. Happy now?
this video is 1337
its *Brony and its a great show dude
