Seeing all those people singing and having a fun time really made my day. I would just like to say that MLP has brought so much joy into my life, and clearly into the life of others, and would like to say thanks to all the bronies and developers of the show to remain strong and keep doing what they love.
I'm not a brony in any way but I do respect the community, they seem like open minded people. Some bronies just like to rub their fandom in other people's face, that's the only thing that bothers me. But after all, I don't see as much of a problem with liking the show as an adult in general.
Elvis presley Well, for one, I am quite happy, thank you. Two, yes, I am one of them. If that's a problem, then you can call my customer support at 1-800-EatADick.
hoofd van stront thank you for understanding, yeah there are a few things that upsets us bronies, the cl*ppers, why? Another thing that annoys us is that other bronies rub our fandom in everybody's face.
I'm 28 years old and I love the Friendship is Magic cartoon. While I may not wear/make costumes, write fanfics, go to cons or draw fanart like some MLP viewers. I still love the show because, unlike some dreck in the world of animation; FiM does what it does and in a way where they don't hammer the message down the viewers' throat. It shows a program with likeable characters, meaningful messages, oftentime relatable situations (I connect with Scootaloo a great deal, being a slightly disabled person) and great comedy that doesn't resort to the cliches of toilet humor. With all that in mind, I ask all the adults among us. Why is it so bad that both men and women of EVERY age group watches this show, when it has so many positive qualities. I get more entertainment out of FiM than I do from an entire season's worth of Uncle Grandpa, Dora, South Park or even Family Guy
Very good summary. Why can't an adult watch a kids show. No one bats an eye when I do Transformers stuff but apparently ponies is too far. My roommate is foreign and he couldn't see the problem. He compared it to Disney movies. There isn't anything wrong with being male and liking Beauty and the Beast or Mulan, they are good movies, targeted at girls but written for everyone. FiM is the same way.
Precisely with me and Blues' Clues. Everytime I watch the parts of the show that had Steve is a major nostalgia trip. I tell this to people all the time, and they don't judge me further than "an egghead fairy(USAF personnel) that still enjoys watching a show for kids 3-7 years of age."
I was a bit embarrased to watch MLP before, but maybe I'll give it a shot? After all, I still love shows like Danny phantom and stuff, even though they are cheesy beyond belief. Alright, here I go (opens window to first episode of MLP)
I don't know. I mean....I like the show, actually. But I don't think I'll become a huge fan of it. It's funny, and the songs are definitely catchy, but yeah....
Personally myself I'm not a brony or a participant of this, my friend is a brony, I don't care if he is just as long you don't shove into my mouth. I'm good.
So decorating everything in brony isn't shoving the aesthetic gayness of it into your eyes I don't know what is. Yeah you can be cool with it but that stuff sinks into your unconscious and taints your dreams. Tell me it won't Laolz.
Yay, someone else who doesn't call herself a pegasister :D I don't feel the need for us females to have a different label. Whovians don't separate their male and female fans, nor do Star Wars fans, or anyone else. Also, "brony" sounds cooler, lol.
i agree i dont like the term either (though im a guy) but i always thought that the term was changed to bronies for both genders because breaking the gender barrier why would we need to classify who is a girl brony and a guy brony.
Most female fans of the show don't like to be called pegasister they like brony better wall I feel its not correct I will call a female fan of the show a brony if they want me to :P (I mean that in the nicest way (;
***** Even then, there is a limit your parents should acknowledge. You are an individual,not their obedient pets. Live for only what betters you, not for the benefit of others.
I know this isnt the same, but adult people also still play with lego's and such, but it might not really be the same. But before anybody comes to bully a brony, he should think about he also MIGHT have some toys/doing/watching something that were made for childrens. Before i became brony i had nothing agisnt bronies.
Can I just like a cartoon without be SOMETHING? "I like that episode, I don't like that one" "I like the style and the animation, I don't like the incoherent personalities" May I just like this show more than many others and DON'T want to cuddle a talking beast at the same time? Perverts or not, I think people don't like the bronies just because they are "too much" into an 'unusual passional hobby'. And the rage is build up when they take themselfe too much seriously. For instance: we are similar, I'm a cosplayer. But the common coaplayer isn't a cosplay all the time, he don't make videos to share about how much he's PROUD to be a cosplay. We are not 'proud', we just LIKE to be like that, because we know it's just a game. We know that WE are the weird people and we also know that is normal that the 'common people' will find us weird... and that's ok for us. We may answer them "I know, but it's just for fun. We are dumb people who like to dress like our heroes", we will never answer "Screw You! I'm prod to be what I am!" English is not my language, I hope that I cleared enough what I mean. -BETMARK- (see, I also didn't hated or trolled. 2 miracles in a row)
What's so different about adults watching mlp a kids show and adults who play pokemon which a lot of adults do, you don't hear as much crap about that.
I personally think of the show as a less socially accepted Spongebob. Think about it, nowadays, lots of teenagers and older people watch Spongebob frequently without being bugged, while bronies have to deal with the trolls because the show was originally stylized for the age demographic of little girls. Because Spongebob was stylized for all demographics originally, it's more socially accepted than MLP. Faust wanted to turn the show around, to aim for all ages instead of just being a glorified commercial, which Spongebob did immediately on its pilot. It'll just take time, and mainstream society will start to accept it.
Ok so I will be 10 just this month and is it OK for me to call myself a brony? I am still technicly a kid and my friend is the same age as me and he is a brony and then I thought : Hey I should be a brony! but is it OK? You did say that little girls who watch it are in between 6 and 8. I am just about to be 10 so do you think it makes sense? I just want to know. I mean my family knows I like it and I tell them pony stuff ALL THE TIME and somethimes they are like: "ok I cant understand what you are saying" or "ok I get it lets talk about it later" and sometimes it hurt my feelings and some kids at my school think its wierd but most of my friends like it as well. My best friend Rocky is a brony but he pretty much just likes RD. Like ONLY R.D. So is it ok for me to be a brony/ pegasister? P.S KIDS CAN GO TO EVERFREE?! OMG I NEED MY DAD TO TAKE ME TO EVERFREE OR BRONYCON OR SOMETHING! MAN I WISH I KNEW THIS SOONER!!! P.P.S When they sing DISCORD i feel like KP is there singing it.... I dont know why i just hear her somewhere in there.... 0_0
There was a few spots where there was a few specks left over after she erased the stuff for more space and I kept being drawn to those little specks because I was desperately hoping she would get rid of them eventually but she didnt and my brain turned to mush.
Wow, I can't believe I found this again. This is the video that first taught me about the fandom (around 2014). I had seen the term "brony" get thrown around a bit online, so I Googled "what is a brony" and found this video. It interested me, so I eventually watched the first few episodes, and have been a huge fan ever since. To the original creator of this video, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for helping get me into this show. It has truly changed my life.
i know. I just wanted to see how much hate I would get for posting that. its fun to dick around with trolls. at least you're one of the intelligent ones :)
***** The people that hate the show but are kinda ok with the fanbase , Except for cloppers and Butt heart fans but then again every fanbase that do this , did you know there are people that want to fuck the snails and turbo ? also Haters that live to hurt people until they commit suicide can go fuck themselves
Bronies are very immature not to mention hypocritical. Their fandom claims to be based on "Love" and "Tolerance" yet when someone (example: me) hates the show My Little Pony and dislikes bronies based on how they act and them watching the little girls show alone, they happened to get butthurt and shove their opinions down non bronies throats. So yeah.. Bronies are everything I dislike. Bronie feel free to go butthurt on me I can really care less now. I would just be proving my point again. But If anyone who plans on watching the show or become a brony.. I can't change your mind or tell you don't do it.. but just don't become a rabid fan.
Ok, dude, lemme start off with im not butthurt when saying this. Imagine that you were a brony. And you couldnt do one thing brony related without someone showing up and calling you "fegt" all the time. Not all of us are the same, btw.
I once heard somebody mention the term brony, but I didnt have a clue what they were talking about. It wasn't until recently with the purchase of a My Little Pony doll, an equestrian girl named Rainbow Dash, for my 6 year old niece that I discovered the show and learned about its fandom, including bronies. Now I dont want to get off on a rant here but I was a little taken by surprise when I found out that adult men were among the show's many fans. I have to admit that, as an adult man, I like a lot of shows I probably shouldn't, but what I don't understand is why the need to dress up and demonstrate their love for the show. It only opens themselves up to ridicule and embarrassment. Still, i with the shows that I like, which I am too embarrassed to even mention, have no room to ridicule anybody for liking anything, not even My Little Pony. In truth, I stand amazed and astonished that this is even happening, and I have started watching just to see what the fuss is about, but you won't be seeing me dressing up and letting the whole world know I am a fan, no matter how much I end up liking it. However, to those of you who just dont care what others think, all I can say is all power to you. Sorry if this final remark is hurtful in any way, but "let that freak flag fly." I think we're all a little freaky, dont you?. Some of us are just a little bit more demonstrative about it. At least that's my opinion, I could be wrong
elements of harmony? 4-6 year olds can remember that but most don't know what that means. This show seems to be made for adults, despite what the show's creators say.
ok now i understand why this was linked to me on a Odyssey Eurobeat video, awesome group singing. I personally love being a brony, it got me a lot of new friends and caused other people who were skeptical to try it out. The brony fandom is awesome, and you have a nice drawing style that illlustrates points about the show without showing footage from the show and risking copyright infringement from overlord hasbro
OMG!! That video was sooooo cool!! But for reals, this was probably the most accurate depictions of bronys i've seen in a long time. Also your drawings were SUPER COOOOOL!!!!
Ok but who else cried at the end of season 9 of mlp? Like my lil bro was laughing at me bc I'm 12 and crying at a "little kid show" even tho it's for basically all ages
I liked this video up until you assumed that most bronies are white, heterosexual and in the 16-20 age range. Considering I myself am 27, and in the time I've been in the fandom (since a couple months after the show first premiered) I've met many bronies of many different races (in fact, it's probably one of the least-predominantly-white groups I've ever been a part of) and *certainly* nowhere near all of them are straight. I get that you want to dispel the idea that "bronies are all gay men" but the fact of the matter is that many *ARE* gay/bi/pan/asexual/etc... and again, it's one of the most diverse groups along those lines as well that I've ever been a part of. And please, especially with the age -- when I first got into the show in the early days, and even to this day in some chats and communities, I'm one of the *youngest*. I mean, yeah, sure, there're tons of younger bronies and a lot of *any* given fandom/community is in that 16-20 age range online, but a huge swath of the fandom is 25+ people who are simply huge fans of animation as a medium -- and have been waiting for a show with the quality of FiM for years.
on a kinda~sorta similar note, i saw Equestria Girls in one of the 3 theaters that got the balls to show it here in California. every single showing was sold out. i was 21 then (22 now) and i was probably one of the youngest. no little girls, but there were more women then there were men. again, california has a lot of ethnicities and there were just as many asians as there were 'white guys' (yea... only like 5 black guys though)
im 15, and i got excluded though i dont care. I love being in the brony fandom along with a lot of people at my highschool, the thing is that many, many teens love the show, and that lowers the average. Sry but it is a cruel rule of math
I'm 12, and I'm a brony, I often times shout it out, but truly no one cares in my neighborhood, and that's kind of neat, my friends still respect me as a buddy, and know I'm a brony. I guess it's just the way some things work in some places.
People wanna bitch about guys watching a show about colorful ponies? Fine, I don't care. The brony fanbase is always growing anyways, and with Season 5 coming soon, there's bound to be more bronies! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna microwave some popcorn and read the haters' put-downs (hateful comments).
Iliya Maisara Mamat Actually, to further explain your explanation, anyone can be a brony/pegasister if they actually CONSIDER themselves a brony/pegasister. Although, most 6-8 year olds probably wouldn't even know about the fandom, much less participate in it. ;)
Most people who doesn't like My Little Pony (including me) have nothing against the show, its the raging fans. Im not accucing all bronies for being raging 12-year olds, but bronies shouldn't try to pull others into their fandom (my opinion).
Those are called the extremists. There are extremists in every fandom to ever exist, but are more active and aggressive in the MLP fandom because they seek acceptance more than any other fandom would need to. Along with the tension already created by gender separation, extremists feel the need to prove themselves equal, and they take that too far.
+Papyrus thank you! you know the undertale/ homestuck fandom is usually the one to hate the bronies. Im not stereo typing. Just saying. PLZ don't start a flame war. PLEASE
Awesomefied Cookie ( oh no man i was just RPing as papyrus xD i know what the brony fandom is and i am one :P just RPing as if i was him in this situation)
THE ASTOUNDING SuperDude3266 SO....MANY....COLORS!!! OH MY GOODNESS! THE GREAT PAPYRUS APPROVES OF THIS!! SANS DOESN'T SEEM TO ENJOY IT FOR SOME REASON >.>
It annoys me how we make up words for things then dribbling idiots who have no idea what they're talking about change the meaning of them... Bronies are MLP fans. That's it. But somehow it's become "Bronies are grown ass men who watch a kids show" I... could've sworn I was a female, and the person who made this video is clearly a female, but.. okay...
I binge watched up to 80 or so episodes because I was interested in why people liked it so much once. It turns out that all I really liked in the end was their BIG ADORABLE EYES and cute little noses. I admit I'm a simplistic person because that's enough for me to like a show. I played COD AW back then too so maybe that's why.
As someone who loves media and takes my critical perspective seriously, I really like MLP FIM and rate it 8/10. I really appreciate the balanced screen time between the Mane 6 and how each of them have distinct well crafted personalities. The messages about friendship usually aren’t amazing but they usually have great execution. Every episode would focus on a certain character trait or character dynamic with some great use of fantasy elements, sweet tone and even traditional humour and animation style. I also really like the cutie mark concept and was really invested in the cutie mark Crusaders plot (which I found to be well developed). I do have problems with this show, like some episode can have repetitive progression making messages kinda forced and Rainbow Dash’s underdog story felt a little undeveloped and it felt like it was concluded to soon. But overall I had I good time with this show and I can really see the appeal to it.
Omg this is a total flashback to me, this is what introduced me to the fandom, omg i love you, this video changed my life and helped me make a ton of friends
I find funny how all the haters say that all bronies are fat people with no girlfriend, while in this video there is a girl wich has a brony boyfriend and nobody talks about that XD
Thanks, I'm part of your "younger audience" and my parents don't really approve of my being a Brony but I showed this to my dad and he is now slowly accepting it. Thanks.
I was an art vendor there, I think I remember seeing your cosplay, now I got to surf my photos and see if I asked for a photo as I usually take pics of cosplays. And you have an adorable sketch art style. I enjoyed watching your video.
I enjoyed the vid! You had a positive tone and you kept the inappropriate content censored! You have earned my respect, ma'am. I feel like I should say something else, but I figured I'd just keep it positive.
Game Machine07 a guy who likes a famous and pretty great show called My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. their mostly people who just like the show,make fan art,remixes of the shows music/making original music inspired by the show, and animate shorts from the show. they are almost one of the most hated fanbases thanks to anti bronies and gender stereotypes. if you want to try the show feel free. im not trying to force this on you but... JOIN THE HERD!
I just found out about this "bronies" term, I'm not one myself, and I have nothing against those who call themselves "bronies" though I'm wondering what do you all who consider yourselves to be "bronies" find the most interesting about the show that would cause you to label yourselves as such.
+GamingTranceSeer For me, I really love the indepth characters and plot mostly. Though the songs are amazing and I love singing them and practicing the variety of MLP voices. I also am an artist and take great interest in the art style.
I came to 'MLP: FiM' after seeing so many cards created based on the series on yugiohcardcreator. I felt there was no way ponies could stand up to even the most basic of level-1 monsters, but I also felt that I should check to be sure. My first resource for checking out a new series is TVTropes. Once I figure something is at least halfway watchable, then I look for clips on UA-cam. Little did I know the Hub and Hasbro allow full episodes to be uploaded here, and there were two seasons waiting here for me. So yes, I've concluded that the ponies, based on little girl toys, of 'MLP: FiM' can take on such ;Yu-Gi-Oh' mainstays as Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician, no problem (see 'Dragonshy,' and pretty much any episode where Twilight uses an OP spell). I watch 'MLP: FiM' for its stories, in-depth character and development, animation and style, and music. 'MLP: FiM' has consistently surprised me with its style, tone, and adult humour and approach to sensitive subject matter. I also like that it doesn't take itself too seriously most of the time, although there are moments when humour is inappropriate. The entire season 4 finale, for example, had a very serious tone, as reflected by the fact that Pinkie Pie, the 'party animal' of the Mane6, had very few lines. Certain aspects of 'MLP: FiM' make it hard to believe that the target audience is little girls. Almost all of the references would probably go over their heads, as would the humour. The vocabulary for most of the Mane6 characters are appropriate to characters of adult or young adult age. Not to mention certain Nightmare Fuel scenes, like the Sanity Slippages that happen in 'Party of One' and 'Lesson Zero,' as well as the battle scenes, like in season 4's premiere and finale. Most of the premieres and finales are adventure-type stories of the save-the-world level. Only 'The Best Night Ever' does not follow that trend. Most of the rest of the episodes are more slice-of-life, and address issues the characters have while they go about their lives. The Mane6 characters are built around stereotypical archetypes, and much of their development is learning from issues and mistakes that they have because of this. There are some adventure episodes outside of the premieres and finales, however they tend to work really well. There isn't a single character featured in ALL of the episodes, however Twilight Sparkle is the one being followed the most. There is also a younger group, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who are three school-age ponies. A cutie mark is the picture on a pony's flank that relates to that pony's special talent and identity, so episodes that center around members of the CMC tend to focus on themes of identity. If you watched 'Powerpuff Girls,' you may also notice similarities between their personalities and those of the CMC. 'MLP: FiM' has an awesome team of voice actors who continue to bring the characters to life. They include Tara Strong, Andrea Libman, Tabitha St. Germaine, Ashleigh Ball, and John de Lancie as the reoccurring villain Discord (the subject of the fan-made song,you heard). Not every episode is created equal, and there are different writers working on the show. To see some differences in how some were liked or disliked more than others, you can search out analyses and critics. I don't have a 'favourite' writer because they each have their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as good and bad days. At worst, I can just sit back and enjoy an episode purely for its entertainment value. I do recommend avoiding 'Spike At Your Service,' though, as the title character is badly out of character. I also enjoy some fanworks, as they can be incredibly well done. This goes for pretty much anything by JanAnimations or Silly Filly Studios. If you do look into fanworks, be sure to carefully check the descriptions and some reactions because... some of it is pretty damned dark and gory. I don't know where these guys came up with such ideas, and I don't wanna know.
Me (17), my mom (Nearing the end of her 30's), and my bro (15) used to sit around and watch new episodes of MLP together. It's always cool when my mom half joins a fandom and we can enjoy these things as a family without fearing strange looks and ridiculous judgment.
Honestly, I don't like bronies, I think they're weird. I don't like the show. Does that make me a hater? For example, on the bus going to school, someone sat down next to me and tried to french kiss me (we are both male). I shoved him across the seat and said "don't touch me." The next day I got on the bus, I didn't want him to sit down next to me and he asked me if I was a hater. By the way I go to a high school. Does this make me a hater if I don't like bronies or the show at all and I think they're both very strange and weird. But I don't mind them as long as they're quiet about their fandom. There are 2 types of bronies at my schools -The broadcasters -And the ones who keep it to themselves See - I'm best friends with one of the ones who keep them to themselves. I don't act weird around them or try to make them feel bad for their fandom. But when one of the brony broadcasters come and try to sit next to me on the bus wearing pony pajamas and a fluttershy hat, I say this seat is taken. I think It's perfectly fine for anyone else to feel the same way, right?
Your first example is an invasion of your personal space and you are fully in the right to distance yourself from that person. OTOH, if a "broadcaster" is only wearing the merch as a statement and is not coming on you or persuading you to "join the herd", I think your reaction might be a bit uncalled for. For me, a hater is someone who shows an unprovoked, offensive reaction or proactively searches for us to spew hate, slander, and misinformation.
So I don't have any complaints except for one. "And we actually got a whole group of people to start singing songs from the show." They're all singing Discord. What episode was that from?
I've been doing so much research on bronies and I still haven't had the reasoning for the fandom's explosion explained to well enough yet. This is defiantly the most fascinating fandom I have ever come across and I know no one person can explain the ENTIRE fandom, but I feel like there's a missing puzzle piece to help me get that light bulb in my head. Anyone know where else I should look?
I would recomend watching from the first episode to the last, but if you pick and choose the episodes it doesnt realy matter. recomendations: comedy-best night ever,too many pinkie pies,apple buck season epic-the return of harmony part 1 and 2,a canterlot wedding part 1 and 2,princess twilight sparkle part 1 and 2 character development-party of one,its about time,wonderbolts acadamy,lesson zero. Hope this list is helpful :)
could someone please tell me the music used in the video? (not the one where they were singing and ecc. , the one that is playing in the background while she is talking)
so glad i didnt think of the wrong thing...you have no idea how many times ive seen videos explaining every last flaw with mlp ._. while it may be odd for a male in H.S(me) to watch this...i LOVE it. you were right on the reasons why bronys are out there im also an artist and i watched how smooth the animations were and i know how to play saxophone and piano so i payed attention to music too. then theres the fact that i love storys and this has a much deeper plot than most kid shows, and people cant look past it being ponys. truthfully i originally looked past it for a period of time but ive grown to love each pony in the series from the main characters to the small ones like derpy colgate dr whooves and all the others in between. this fandom is one of the largest that i have seen with people who can animate almost exactly like the show, and the best part is that the show actually encourages it for some of them (dr.whooves) after the doctor shows up once and someone makes a series for it they continue putting the doctor in episodes so the dr whooves creator can do more related to the show. i love to see all the aspects of the fandom like this and fufflepuff and the music is amazing.
I'm like that, too - I'm a Pegasister, an adult watching a little kids' show. I'm proud to be a Pegasister and have wanted to attend EFNW for the last three years... 😰
that means you know what you like, and that knowing more about yourself is good. you shouldn't be worried or ashamed of what you like, because in some way... it's part of yourself and the easy way to get through is just accepting it
I really liked your video, specially because you DID in fact mentioned a dark (sadly) side of the fandom, wich every fandom has it, but you're right on the fact not all bronies are making or thinking in those bad things, personally I wish those people never actually created those horrific fanworks :( but your video made a huge point focusing in what IT TRULLY matters (just like the reason why I created my channel on the first place) ;)
Omg, I can finally reply to comments! Half of them are still blocked though... I use Photoshop CS6. I know you can download older versions of Photoshop for free on Adobe's website.
As a mid 20yr old at the time it wasn't till late on in the series i became a fan, not because of bronies but because of babysitting my younger cousins at the time ,Applejack is my fav by the way
This actually was really enlightening. Thanks for making this! Aside from a couple of grammar mishaps here and there, the video was well structured and well-based in fact. You've DEFINITELY opened my eyed about certain social stigmas. Cheers! - MikeCastle27
As someone who is on the very verge of being a furry, I can almost understand these bronies. We’re really similar in a way. The main difference is bronies watch a certain show.
I'm 14 and I don't have too many friends that are also major bronies. (I'm a girl) But the fandom is just awesome, and everyone accepts you for who you are. I always stay away from the dark side though, and I think most of the teens do. The one thing that bugs me is that people say I can't be a brony because I'm a girl. They say I have to be a Pegasister, and I really don't like that name. Considering I'd rather be a Unicorn than a Pegasus ;)
Yup, I feel you there. I actually ranted about this in my 3k sub special.. Even in the comments, people are telling me to be something I don't want to be. Some people might be okay with the term "Pegasister" but I'm not. I'm apart of the "Bronies" because that is generally what we're referred to when someone refers to the My Little Pony fandom as a whole. People leave Pegasisters out because "Females cannot be Bronies." LIES. ALL LIES.
Kyra Draws Ughhh, yes! Everyone is always telling me, "Don't boys only like my little pony?" or, "Why would you like my little pony, grow up." No, just no. I also feel like the term Pegasister and everyone that is a "Pegasister" are just thrown aside as the smaller population of pony loving people. Not to mention less merchandise for us all together, I have to buy guys shirts to get the designs I like. It's not like anybody can tell though xD By the way, I watched another one of your videos where you said you were home schooled for five years, and you had to Doctor Who merchandise. The things you were saying were like my exact situation and it blew my mind up. I started online schooling a year and a half ago just because I felt like It.

Seeing all those people singing and having a fun time really made my day. I would just like to say that MLP has brought so much joy into my life, and clearly into the life of others, and would like to say thanks to all the bronies and developers of the show to remain strong and keep doing what they love.
They have definitely stayed strong (ex: S4 episodes are fantastic) Also wish to acquire the playing skills for discord maybe.
you say it bro :) /)
you what? :3
ooooh :3 *hug*
*mega hugs*
I'm not a brony in any way but I do respect the community, they seem like open minded people. Some bronies just like to rub their fandom in other people's face, that's the only thing that bothers me.
But after all, I don't see as much of a problem with liking the show as an adult in general.
Swayol And, at last, a sensible person has arrived! Have a cookie, good sir.
Elvis presley Well, for one, I am quite happy, thank you. Two, yes, I am one of them. If that's a problem, then you can call my customer support at 1-800-EatADick.
+Swayol People like you are the things that make my day.
Dank je, man. c:
hoofd van stront thank you for understanding, yeah there are a few things that upsets us bronies, the cl*ppers, why? Another thing that annoys us is that other bronies rub our fandom in everybody's face.
I had a brony friend, but now he's given it up because all his other friends said "NO". I think that's pretty sad.
I'm 28 years old and I love the Friendship is Magic cartoon. While I may not wear/make costumes, write fanfics, go to cons or draw fanart like some MLP viewers.
I still love the show because, unlike some dreck in the world of animation; FiM does what it does and in a way where they don't hammer the message down the viewers' throat.
It shows a program with likeable characters, meaningful messages, oftentime relatable situations (I connect with Scootaloo a great deal, being a slightly disabled person) and great comedy that doesn't resort to the cliches of toilet humor.
With all that in mind, I ask all the adults among us. Why is it so bad that both men and women of EVERY age group watches this show, when it has so many positive qualities.
I get more entertainment out of FiM than I do from an entire season's worth of Uncle Grandpa, Dora, South Park or even Family Guy
Very good summary. Why can't an adult watch a kids show. No one bats an eye when I do Transformers stuff but apparently ponies is too far. My roommate is foreign and he couldn't see the problem. He compared it to Disney movies. There isn't anything wrong with being male and liking Beauty and the Beast or Mulan, they are good movies, targeted at girls but written for everyone. FiM is the same way.
Precisely with me and Blues' Clues. Everytime I watch the parts of the show that had Steve is a major nostalgia trip. I tell this to people all the time, and they don't judge me further than "an egghead fairy(USAF personnel) that still enjoys watching a show for kids 3-7 years of age."
Damn right!!!! :D
Also, another to point out is when Lauren was making the show, she wanted it to be enjoyed by not ONLY kids, but potentially their parents as well!
Zero Hero yeah, I can see that being her focus.
I was a bit embarrased to watch MLP before, but maybe I'll give it a shot? After all, I still love shows like Danny phantom and stuff, even though they are cheesy beyond belief. Alright, here I go (opens window to first episode of MLP)
It begins...
Yay river! Now maybe u can start to draw mlp!!!
I don't know. I mean....I like the show, actually. But I don't think I'll become a huge fan of it. It's funny, and the songs are definitely catchy, but yeah....
oh... it would be pretty cool though
oh and river u know how u are opening requests on the 10th... well its my birthday that day!
Personally myself I'm not a brony or a participant of this, my friend is a brony, I don't care if he is just as long you don't shove into my mouth. I'm good.
^^^^^^ this guy gets it
So decorating everything in brony isn't shoving the aesthetic gayness of it into your eyes I don't know what is. Yeah you can be cool with it but that stuff sinks into your unconscious and taints your dreams. Tell me it won't Laolz.
Hence the reason I said " as long if you don't shove in my mouth ." And I'm not gonna blurt out a rude, cruel comment that starts a war. :)
Lol, DAs my job. It is cool but like I said, the universe that surrounds you = you. So good luck with that.
Epicwinner2! yep
Yay, someone else who doesn't call herself a pegasister :D
I don't feel the need for us females to have a different label. Whovians don't separate their male and female fans, nor do Star Wars fans, or anyone else. Also, "brony" sounds cooler, lol.
i agree i dont like the term either (though im a guy) but i always thought that the term was changed to bronies for both genders because breaking the gender barrier why would we need to classify who is a girl brony and a guy brony.
Xexal DarkstarOz Bronys are bronys. Muffins for all!
Yep
Most female fans of the show don't like to be called pegasister they like brony better wall I feel its not correct I will call a female fan of the show a brony if they want me to :P (I mean that in the nicest way (;
YEAAH! bronys. TO THE MAX!!!
Why need we explain ourselves?
Don't let people question your life style.
***** Even then, there is a limit your parents should acknowledge. You are an individual,not their obedient pets.
Live for only what betters you, not for the benefit of others.
***** Your view, not mine.
Each to their own.
Wow... A lot of bronies are attractive.
I know this isnt the same, but adult people also still play with lego's and such, but it might not really be the same. But before anybody comes to bully a brony, he should think about he also MIGHT have some toys/doing/watching something that were made for childrens. Before i became brony i had nothing agisnt bronies.
Can I just like a cartoon without be SOMETHING?
"I like that episode, I don't like that one"
"I like the style and the animation, I don't like the incoherent personalities"
May I just like this show more than many others and DON'T want to cuddle a talking beast at the same time?
Perverts or not, I think people don't like the bronies just because they are "too much" into an 'unusual passional hobby'.
And the rage is build up when they take themselfe too much seriously.
For instance: we are similar, I'm a cosplayer.
But the common coaplayer isn't a cosplay all the time, he don't make videos to share about how much he's PROUD to be a cosplay.
We are not 'proud', we just LIKE to be like that, because we know it's just a game.
We know that WE are the weird people and we also know that is normal that the 'common people' will find us weird... and that's ok for us.
We may answer them "I know, but it's just for fun. We are dumb people who like to dress like our heroes", we will never answer "Screw You! I'm prod to be what I am!"
English is not my language, I hope that I cleared enough what I mean.
-BETMARK-
(see, I also didn't hated or trolled. 2 miracles in a row)
What's so different about adults watching mlp a kids show and adults who play pokemon which a lot of adults do, you don't hear as much crap about that.
A lot of people do judge, that's the problem.
MrTailsprower7
That is no problem. It is just an easy way to find out some people aren't worth your time.
I personally think of the show as a less socially accepted Spongebob. Think about it, nowadays, lots of teenagers and older people watch Spongebob frequently without being bugged, while bronies have to deal with the trolls because the show was originally stylized for the age demographic of little girls. Because Spongebob was stylized for all demographics originally, it's more socially accepted than MLP. Faust wanted to turn the show around, to aim for all ages instead of just being a glorified commercial, which Spongebob did immediately on its pilot. It'll just take time, and mainstream society will start to accept it.
SAD BUT TRUE!!!
Well said, le bald review tech guy.
Ok so I will be 10 just this month and is it OK for me to call myself a brony? I am still technicly a kid and my friend is the same age as me and he is a brony and then I thought : Hey I should be a brony! but is it OK? You did say that little girls who watch it are in between 6 and 8. I am just about to be 10 so do you think it makes sense? I just want to know. I mean my family knows I like it and I tell them pony stuff ALL THE TIME and somethimes they are like: "ok I cant understand what you are saying" or "ok I get it lets talk about it later" and sometimes it hurt my feelings and some kids at my school think its wierd but most of my friends like it as well. My best friend Rocky is a brony but he pretty much just likes RD. Like ONLY R.D. So is it ok for me to be a brony/ pegasister?
P.S KIDS CAN GO TO EVERFREE?! OMG I NEED MY DAD TO TAKE ME TO EVERFREE OR BRONYCON OR SOMETHING! MAN I WISH I KNEW THIS SOONER!!!
P.P.S When they sing DISCORD i feel like KP is there singing it.... I dont know why i just hear her somewhere in there.... 0_0
There was a few spots where there was a few specks left over after she erased the stuff for more space and I kept being drawn to those little specks because I was desperately hoping she would get rid of them eventually but she didnt and my brain turned to mush.
Why did you tell me this? IT BURNS TO THINK ABOUT!
I know exactly how you feel. My head is screaming so much.
God, I'm trying to remember what this music is from...
Your profile picture is trying to remember the music as well...
Wow, I can't believe I found this again.
This is the video that first taught me about the fandom (around 2014). I had seen the term "brony" get thrown around a bit online, so I Googled "what is a brony" and found this video. It interested me, so I eventually watched the first few episodes, and have been a huge fan ever since.
To the original creator of this video, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for helping get me into this show. It has truly changed my life.
I love DISCORD! (The song, not the character!)
Didcord himself is amazing
The haters are just jealous of our awesomeness
i know. I just wanted to see how much hate I would get for posting that. its fun to dick around with trolls. at least you're one of the intelligent ones :)
*****
The people that hate the show but are kinda ok with the fanbase , Except for cloppers and Butt heart fans but then again every fanbase that do this , did you know there are people that want to fuck the snails and turbo ? also Haters that live to hurt people until they commit suicide can go fuck themselves
***** who cares? normal is overrated anyways :)
its this kind of immaturity that makes people hate bronies.
Ikr?! Brohoof :D /)
What's with bronies and fedoras?
Bronies are very immature not to mention hypocritical. Their fandom claims to be based on "Love" and "Tolerance" yet when someone (example: me) hates the show My Little Pony and dislikes bronies based on how they act and them watching the little girls show alone, they happened to get butthurt and shove their opinions down non bronies throats.
So yeah.. Bronies are everything I dislike.
Bronie feel free to go butthurt on me I can really care less now. I would just be proving my point again.
But If anyone who plans on watching the show or become a brony.. I can't change your mind or tell you don't do it.. but just don't become a rabid fan.
Jack ripper
Finally.
Someone with a head screwed on properly.
I salute you sir.

DON;T LISTEN TO STUPID BARBARIENS
+KumoriAcrux I'm not a Bronie, but going on a video full of a fandom you hate and commenting why it sucks really isn't a good idea.
KumoriAcrux ok.
Ok, dude, lemme start off with im not butthurt when saying this.
Imagine that you were a brony. And you couldnt do one thing brony related without someone showing up and calling you "fegt" all the time. Not all of us are the same, btw.
i'm not a brony, but the should be respected.
Tico Ligthart they*
Thanx, friend❤️we appriciate that :)
Very true! Everyone needs respect! 🙂
I once heard somebody mention the term brony, but I didnt have a clue what they were talking about. It wasn't until recently with the purchase of a My Little Pony doll, an equestrian girl named Rainbow Dash, for my 6 year old niece that I discovered the show and learned about its fandom, including bronies. Now I dont want to get off on a rant here but I was a little taken by surprise when I found out that adult men were among the show's many fans. I have to admit that, as an adult man, I like a lot of shows I probably shouldn't, but what I don't understand is why the need to dress up and demonstrate their love for the show. It only opens themselves up to ridicule and embarrassment. Still, i with the shows that I like, which I am too embarrassed to even mention, have no room to ridicule anybody for liking anything, not even My Little Pony. In truth, I stand amazed and astonished that this is even happening, and I have started watching just to see what the fuss is about, but you won't be seeing me dressing up and letting the whole world know I am a fan, no matter how much I end up liking it. However, to those of you who just dont care what others think, all I can say is all power to you. Sorry if this final remark is hurtful in any way, but "let that freak flag fly." I think we're all a little freaky, dont you?. Some of us are just a little bit more demonstrative about it. At least that's my opinion, I could be wrong
elements of harmony? 4-6 year olds can remember that but most don't know what that means. This show seems to be made for adults, despite what the show's creators say.
It’s not. It’s made for kids but adults find it entertaining. I also do
@@GlitchyFoxGamer Well, I disagree
lexiconlover ok then
The part with the singing and stuff is what makes me want to go to a pony convention so BAD! :D
Dude! I love your pic!! :O
They're AMAZING
ok now i understand why this was linked to me on a Odyssey Eurobeat video, awesome group singing. I personally love being a brony, it got me a lot of new friends and caused other people who were skeptical to try it out. The brony fandom is awesome, and you have a nice drawing style that illlustrates points about the show without showing footage from the show and risking copyright infringement from overlord hasbro
OMG!! That video was sooooo cool!! But for reals, this was probably the most accurate depictions of bronys i've seen in a long time. Also your drawings were SUPER COOOOOL!!!!
Ok but who else cried at the end of season 9 of mlp? Like my lil bro was laughing at me bc I'm 12 and crying at a "little kid show" even tho it's for basically all ages
I liked this video up until you assumed that most bronies are white, heterosexual and in the 16-20 age range. Considering I myself am 27, and in the time I've been in the fandom (since a couple months after the show first premiered) I've met many bronies of many different races (in fact, it's probably one of the least-predominantly-white groups I've ever been a part of) and *certainly* nowhere near all of them are straight. I get that you want to dispel the idea that "bronies are all gay men" but the fact of the matter is that many *ARE* gay/bi/pan/asexual/etc... and again, it's one of the most diverse groups along those lines as well that I've ever been a part of.
And please, especially with the age -- when I first got into the show in the early days, and even to this day in some chats and communities, I'm one of the *youngest*. I mean, yeah, sure, there're tons of younger bronies and a lot of *any* given fandom/community is in that 16-20 age range online, but a huge swath of the fandom is 25+ people who are simply huge fans of animation as a medium -- and have been waiting for a show with the quality of FiM for years.
on a kinda~sorta similar note, i saw Equestria Girls in one of the 3 theaters that got the balls to show it here in California. every single showing was sold out. i was 21 then (22 now) and i was probably one of the youngest. no little girls, but there were more women then there were men. again, california has a lot of ethnicities and there were just as many asians as there were 'white guys' (yea... only like 5 black guys though)
Average.
im 15, and i got excluded though i dont care. I love being in the brony fandom along with a lot of people at my highschool, the thing is that many, many teens love the show, and that lowers the average. Sry but it is a cruel rule of math
There will be people of all different races gender and sexual standings in any fandom.
I'm 12, and I'm a brony, I often times shout it out, but truly no one cares in my neighborhood, and that's kind of neat, my friends still respect me as a buddy, and know I'm a brony. I guess it's just the way some things work in some places.
I am a straight and I am a brony
Ok? We didn't really need to know that.
So?
Well I just wanted to mention
Ok I will kill myself alright idiot.Can't believe people are so dumb!
Thank you.
People wanna bitch about guys watching a show about colorful ponies? Fine, I don't care. The brony fanbase is always growing anyways, and with Season 5 coming soon, there's bound to be more bronies!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna microwave some popcorn and read the haters' put-downs (hateful comments).
I have never heard this Discord song. Where the heck is it hiding?
wasn't this fandom started as a joke on 4chan
So im not considered a pegasister? Im almost 11 :(
Yay, thanks btw /)
Iliya Maisara Mamat Actually, to further explain your explanation, anyone can be a brony/pegasister if they actually CONSIDER themselves a brony/pegasister. Although, most 6-8 year olds probably wouldn't even know about the fandom, much less participate in it. ;)
Lol
"usually white and heterosexual" how would you know that?
Hmmm. There are ways...LOL!
I’m replying to a 6 year old not very popular comment to make you uncomfortable
Most people who doesn't like My Little Pony (including me) have nothing against the show, its the raging fans. Im not accucing all bronies for being raging 12-year olds, but bronies shouldn't try to pull others into their fandom (my opinion).
I honestly hate both raging bronies and aggressive haters
Those are called the extremists. There are extremists in every fandom to ever exist, but are more active and aggressive in the MLP fandom because they seek acceptance more than any other fandom would need to. Along with the tension already created by gender separation, extremists feel the need to prove themselves equal, and they take that too far.
They did good in that survey to “show” that they don’t “watch because of CLOP”
DAMNIT. How is it possible that I live in Washington, just a few hours away from SeaTac, and miss it?! ; - ;
I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS MAY NOT BE ONE OF THESE "BRONIES" BUT AT LEAST I UNDERSTAND THEM A BIT MORE..... UHH..... PONY ON OR SOMETHING...
Papyrus. one episode. PLEASE. JUST ONE.
+Super Dude3266 yes
+Papyrus thank you! you know the undertale/ homestuck fandom is usually the one to hate the bronies. Im not stereo typing. Just saying. PLZ don't start a flame war. PLEASE

THE ASTOUNDING SuperDude3266 SO....MANY....COLORS!!! OH MY GOODNESS! THE GREAT PAPYRUS APPROVES OF THIS!! SANS DOESN'T SEEM TO ENJOY IT FOR SOME REASON >.>
Dashie is best pony
It annoys me how we make up words for things then dribbling idiots who have no idea what they're talking about change the meaning of them...
Bronies are MLP fans. That's it.
But somehow it's become "Bronies are grown ass men who watch a kids show"
I... could've sworn I was a female, and the person who made this video is clearly a female, but.. okay...
I binge watched up to 80 or so episodes because I was interested in why people liked it so much once. It turns out that all I really liked in the end was their BIG ADORABLE EYES and cute little noses. I admit I'm a simplistic person because that's enough for me to like a show. I played COD AW back then too so maybe that's why.
I would say that "I watch it for the plot", but the joke is basically beating a dead equine with a stick (get it ponies and horses are equine).
As someone who loves media and takes my critical perspective seriously, I really like MLP FIM and rate it 8/10. I really appreciate the balanced screen time between the Mane 6 and how each of them have distinct well crafted personalities. The messages about friendship usually aren’t amazing but they usually have great execution. Every episode would focus on a certain character trait or character dynamic with some great use of fantasy elements, sweet tone and even traditional humour and animation style. I also really like the cutie mark concept and was really invested in the cutie mark Crusaders plot (which I found to be well developed). I do have problems with this show, like some episode can have repetitive progression making messages kinda forced and Rainbow Dash’s underdog story felt a little undeveloped and it felt like it was concluded to soon. But overall I had I good time with this show and I can really see the appeal to it.
Guy hair easier to draw than girl hair
I'm 13 and I love mlp
Me too!
Im 16 :3
im 13 lol
Hope Reed-Langley and i love it
Lol
I'm so proud to be a brony
same
I'm even proud of making a crossover fanfic and most haters get mad over crossovers
same here brohoof
+Wilimanteri brohoof
raccoon dude Lol
raccoon dude Fetishes had nothing to do with mlp nor anyone mentioned them.
Omg this is a total flashback to me, this is what introduced me to the fandom, omg i love you, this video changed my life and helped me make a ton of friends
Finally, something to show to people who think I'm either joking or immature for watching MLP.
I find funny how all the haters say that all bronies are fat people with no girlfriend, while in this video there is a girl wich has a brony boyfriend and nobody talks about that XD
Ha Burn ! XD
i hope i can someday go to the bronycon
Me too
What's the music?
I like it. It's very soothing.
If I'm correct, it's music from the Anime: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya
Just in case you haven't found it yet, it's called 'Itsumo no Fuukei', from the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya as Lemons SonoNeko says.
Thanks you two. :D
Thanks, I'm part of your "younger audience" and my parents don't really approve of my being a Brony but I showed this to my dad and he is now slowly accepting it.
Thanks.
Okay so this video was wonderful, thank you for making it. Also your channel looks awesome, I'm totally subscribing.
This is so true also girl ur mic is so good its amazing
its not the greatest but its damn good
True
Finally, a video that I can send to people who aren't aware of the fandom!
im in 20 and up is the cool
I was an art vendor there, I think I remember seeing your cosplay, now I got to surf my photos and see if I asked for a photo as I usually take pics of cosplays. And you have an adorable sketch art style. I enjoyed watching your video.
ever since mlp was made g4 it gave joy to many people
bronies rule
YOU MAKE A VIDEO SAYING VRONIES ARE STUPID NICE HAHA
I dislike how you thought you just HAD to put their race in there, especially since race should not matter. Also with the sexuality thing.
3:36 Unicorn much? xD
Eeeyup
I enjoyed the vid! You had a positive tone and you kept the inappropriate content censored! You have earned my respect, ma'am. I feel like I should say something else, but I figured I'd just keep it positive.
Even though I'm a girl... I want to be a brony because, barely anyone talks about pegasisters..
Yes another rainbow dash fan!
Damn right!

Is this music from The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzamiya? Sound familiar..
she's one of the few people to draw a character with five fingers
Cringed at you guys singing discord.
pdr lcs
You realize the song: Discord was created by a Brony right?
Bronies? Hm..
WTF is Bronie?!
Game Machine07 a guy who likes a famous and pretty great show called My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. their mostly people who just like the show,make fan art,remixes of the shows music/making original music inspired by the show, and animate shorts from the show.
they are almost one of the most hated fanbases thanks to anti bronies and gender stereotypes.
if you want to try the show feel free. im not trying to force this on you but...
JOIN THE HERD!
shadowperson guy no
Actually American boy, yes that's what a brony is.
DJ DarkLight that was in December, 1 2014
I just found out about this "bronies" term, I'm not one myself, and I have nothing against those who call themselves "bronies" though I'm wondering what do you all who consider yourselves to be "bronies" find the most interesting about the show that would cause you to label yourselves as such.
+GamingTranceSeer
For me, I really love the indepth characters and plot mostly. Though the songs are amazing and I love singing them and practicing the variety of MLP voices. I also am an artist and take great interest in the art style.
For me its the story and it have a lot of depth and interesting character too
kok namm ah ok, seems to be mostly the in depth characters.
I came to 'MLP: FiM' after seeing so many cards created based on the series on yugiohcardcreator. I felt there was no way ponies could stand up to even the most basic of level-1 monsters, but I also felt that I should check to be sure. My first resource for checking out a new series is TVTropes. Once I figure something is at least halfway watchable, then I look for clips on UA-cam. Little did I know the Hub and Hasbro allow full episodes to be uploaded here, and there were two seasons waiting here for me.
So yes, I've concluded that the ponies, based on little girl toys, of 'MLP: FiM' can take on such ;Yu-Gi-Oh' mainstays as Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician, no problem (see 'Dragonshy,' and pretty much any episode where Twilight uses an OP spell).
I watch 'MLP: FiM' for its stories, in-depth character and development, animation and style, and music. 'MLP: FiM' has consistently surprised me with its style, tone, and adult humour and approach to sensitive subject matter. I also like that it doesn't take itself too seriously most of the time, although there are moments when humour is inappropriate. The entire season 4 finale, for example, had a very serious tone, as reflected by the fact that Pinkie Pie, the 'party animal' of the Mane6, had very few lines.
Certain aspects of 'MLP: FiM' make it hard to believe that the target audience is little girls. Almost all of the references would probably go over their heads, as would the humour. The vocabulary for most of the Mane6 characters are appropriate to characters of adult or young adult age. Not to mention certain Nightmare Fuel scenes, like the Sanity Slippages that happen in 'Party of One' and 'Lesson Zero,' as well as the battle scenes, like in season 4's premiere and finale.
Most of the premieres and finales are adventure-type stories of the save-the-world level. Only 'The Best Night Ever' does not follow that trend. Most of the rest of the episodes are more slice-of-life, and address issues the characters have while they go about their lives. The Mane6 characters are built around stereotypical archetypes, and much of their development is learning from issues and mistakes that they have because of this. There are some adventure episodes outside of the premieres and finales, however they tend to work really well. There isn't a single character featured in ALL of the episodes, however Twilight Sparkle is the one being followed the most.
There is also a younger group, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who are three school-age ponies. A cutie mark is the picture on a pony's flank that relates to that pony's special talent and identity, so episodes that center around members of the CMC tend to focus on themes of identity. If you watched 'Powerpuff Girls,' you may also notice similarities between their personalities and those of the CMC.
'MLP: FiM' has an awesome team of voice actors who continue to bring the characters to life. They include Tara Strong, Andrea Libman, Tabitha St. Germaine, Ashleigh Ball, and John de Lancie as the reoccurring villain Discord (the subject of the fan-made song,you heard).
Not every episode is created equal, and there are different writers working on the show. To see some differences in how some were liked or disliked more than others, you can search out analyses and critics. I don't have a 'favourite' writer because they each have their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as good and bad days. At worst, I can just sit back and enjoy an episode purely for its entertainment value. I do recommend avoiding 'Spike At Your Service,' though, as the title character is badly out of character.
I also enjoy some fanworks, as they can be incredibly well done. This goes for pretty much anything by JanAnimations or Silly Filly Studios. If you do look into fanworks, be sure to carefully check the descriptions and some reactions because... some of it is pretty damned dark and gory. I don't know where these guys came up with such ideas, and I don't wanna know.
Me (17), my mom (Nearing the end of her 30's), and my bro (15) used to sit around and watch new episodes of MLP together. It's always cool when my mom half joins a fandom and we can enjoy these things as a family without fearing strange looks and ridiculous judgment.
They were singing.... DISCOOOOORD!!!
to take your tirany awaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! :D
you know Rarity has a horn right?
Honestly, I don't like bronies, I think they're weird. I don't like the show. Does that make me a hater?
For example, on the bus going to school, someone sat down next to me and tried to french kiss me (we are both male). I shoved him across the seat and said "don't touch me." The next day I got on the bus, I didn't want him to sit down next to me and he asked me if I was a hater. By the way I go to a high school.
Does this make me a hater if I don't like bronies or the show at all and I think they're both very strange and weird. But I don't mind them as long as they're quiet about their fandom.
There are 2 types of bronies at my schools
-The broadcasters
-And the ones who keep it to themselves
See - I'm best friends with one of the ones who keep them to themselves. I don't act weird around them or try to make them feel bad for their fandom. But when one of the brony broadcasters come and try to sit next to me on the bus wearing pony pajamas and a fluttershy hat, I say this seat is taken. I think It's perfectly fine for anyone else to feel the same way, right?
Your first example is an invasion of your personal space and you are fully in the right to distance yourself from that person.
OTOH, if a "broadcaster" is only wearing the merch as a statement and is not coming on you or persuading you to "join the herd", I think your reaction might be a bit uncalled for.
For me, a hater is someone who shows an unprovoked, offensive reaction or proactively searches for us to spew hate, slander, and misinformation.
So I don't have any complaints except for one.
"And we actually got a whole group of people to start singing songs from the show."
They're all singing Discord.
What episode was that from?
I've been doing so much research on bronies and I still haven't had the reasoning for the fandom's explosion explained to well enough yet. This is defiantly the most fascinating fandom I have ever come across and I know no one person can explain the ENTIRE fandom, but I feel like there's a missing puzzle piece to help me get that light bulb in my head.
Anyone know where else I should look?
I'm here because Tom didn't know what a bronie was, neither did I.
So, I just joined the fandom....any episodes you would recommend?
Start from ep one and go through were we are now in season 4
I would recomend watching from the first episode to the last, but if you pick and choose the episodes it doesnt realy matter.
recomendations:
comedy-best night ever,too many pinkie pies,apple buck season
epic-the return of harmony part 1 and 2,a canterlot wedding part 1 and 2,princess twilight sparkle part 1 and 2
character development-party of one,its about time,wonderbolts acadamy,lesson zero.
Hope this list is helpful :)

so glad i didnt think of the wrong thing...you have no idea how many times ive seen videos explaining every last flaw with mlp ._. while it may be odd for a male in H.S(me) to watch this...i LOVE it. you were right on the reasons why bronys are out there im also an artist and i watched how smooth the animations were and i know how to play saxophone and piano so i payed attention to music too. then theres the fact that i love storys and this has a much deeper plot than most kid shows, and people cant look past it being ponys. truthfully i originally looked past it for a period of time but ive grown to love each pony in the series from the main characters to the small ones like derpy colgate dr whooves and all the others in between. this fandom is one of the largest that i have seen with people who can animate almost exactly like the show, and the best part is that the show actually encourages it for some of them (dr.whooves) after the doctor shows up once and someone makes a series for it they continue putting the doctor in episodes so the dr whooves creator can do more related to the show. i love to see all the aspects of the fandom like this and fufflepuff and the music is amazing.
Why is everyone commenting only insulting? It's a show? Please get over it,It's a show.Comment the show you think is "great".
I'm like that, too - I'm a Pegasister, an adult watching a little kids' show. I'm proud to be a Pegasister and have wanted to attend EFNW for the last three years... 😰
It me all fans are Bronies boy or girl
But that's not the point of my response
GO FANDOM
I love the little art (and the style of said art) that you have going on throughout the video.
Anti bronies are kind of sexist. In their opinion woman can watch MLP but not men. Srsly. Why are they so against bronies anyway?
Lauren Faust owns your childhood.
That statement is true in all ways.
that means you know what you like, and that knowing more about yourself is good. you shouldn't be worried or ashamed of what you like, because in some way... it's part of yourself and the easy way to get through is just accepting it
I should show this video to almost everyone in the school. And the Disney thing at the end is SO LOGICAL!
I really liked your video, specially because you DID in fact mentioned a dark (sadly) side of the fandom, wich every fandom has it, but you're right on the fact not all bronies are making or thinking in those bad things, personally I wish those people never actually created those horrific fanworks :( but your video made a huge point focusing in what IT TRULLY matters (just like the reason why I created my channel on the first place) ;)
That part when you filmed them singing "Discord"NOW THAT IS A BRONY COMMUNITY!!!!
What program do you use?
I use art rage on my laptop and I use a intuos pen small.
Omg, I can finally reply to comments! Half of them are still blocked though... I use Photoshop CS6. I know you can download older versions of Photoshop for free on Adobe's website.
Actually I have my account connected to google+ and I have flash professional CC,but thanks.
As a mid 20yr old at the time it wasn't till late on in the series i became a fan, not because of bronies but because of babysitting my younger cousins at the time ,Applejack is my fav by the way
Nice
My university English class is doing a debate this Friday on Bronies and your video really helped me find some great material to use. Thanks!
This actually was really enlightening. Thanks for making this! Aside from a couple of grammar mishaps here and there, the video was well structured and well-based in fact. You've DEFINITELY opened my eyed about certain social stigmas. Cheers! - MikeCastle27
As someone who is on the very verge of being a furry, I can almost understand these bronies. We’re really similar in a way. The main difference is bronies watch a certain show.
Yes
I'm 14 and I don't have too many friends that are also major bronies. (I'm a girl) But the fandom is just awesome, and everyone accepts you for who you are. I always stay away from the dark side though, and I think most of the teens do.
The one thing that bugs me is that people say I can't be a brony because I'm a girl. They say I have to be a Pegasister, and I really don't like that name. Considering I'd rather be a Unicorn than a Pegasus ;)
Yup, I feel you there. I actually ranted about this in my 3k sub special.. Even in the comments, people are telling me to be something I don't want to be. Some people might be okay with the term "Pegasister" but I'm not. I'm apart of the "Bronies" because that is generally what we're referred to when someone refers to the My Little Pony fandom as a whole. People leave Pegasisters out because "Females cannot be Bronies." LIES. ALL LIES.
Kyra Draws Ughhh, yes! Everyone is always telling me, "Don't boys only like my little pony?" or, "Why would you like my little pony, grow up." No, just no. I also feel like the term Pegasister and everyone that is a "Pegasister" are just thrown aside as the smaller population of pony loving people. Not to mention less merchandise for us all together, I have to buy guys shirts to get the designs I like. It's not like anybody can tell though xD
By the way, I watched another one of your videos where you said you were home schooled for five years, and you had to Doctor Who merchandise. The things you were saying were like my exact situation and it blew my mind up. I started online schooling a year and a half ago just because I felt like It.
What was that song? I've watched all episodes so far (the Rarity episode in Manehatten today) and don't recognise it.
The song is called "Discord" and it's by Eurobeat Brony, but Living Tombstone does remixes of it as well. You can find it here. /watch?v=xPfMb50dsOk
