FrankT Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm really anxious to give it up, but I'd probably have to go to rehab to do it - and they might not take me seriously! What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 You're depressed because you happen to like a TV show... That's all being a "Brony" is, is liking a TV show. If its the idiots in the fandom that are depressing you, you just need to ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickLime Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Yeah..Bronyism isn't a disease, if you are depressed due to people in the fandom? You leave the places with those people, if you are irritated by what Hasbro does? Just stop watching/ paying attention to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankT Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Well that's the problem - I don't know whose side I should be on. I can't even side with Hasbro, because they're sending out C&Ds now! I can't even decide whether I should be happy with what the outlook on the show as a general is.

QuickLime Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I think you are giving this whole thing too much priority? You aren't required to "side" with anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetSombra Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Just be your own side - enjoy cute ponies and relax....there's nothing you're obligated to do beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewind Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I enjoy FiM, but I don't consider myself a pegasister/brony/insertlabelwhatever. Just enjoy yourself and don't worry about other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningMana Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'd call myself a pegasister, but that would imply that every female pony has wings. So I'm a lady brony. You know what depresses me at times? Humanity. Peoples' inability to accept that other people enjoy things different from their own interests.That, is a disease~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augercorn Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 with anything good on this earth and any earth there will be people who take good things too far.you dont have to be a huge brony, you dont have to go to conventions and wear the t-shirts! no that ther is anything wrong with that you can just watch and enjoy the show like any other show, theres nothing wrong with that. be one of those people who like to watch it in there spare time.

Ashton Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 If your depressed for reasons other than where the show itself has gone or is going (or the comics) then your just paying too much attention to the trolls. If you don't want to pick a side, just avoid the discussion, there's always someplace to turn that isn't filled with drama. Will people judge you? Yes. But that has nothing to do with being a brony, You'll find nuts who will see you wearing a black shirt and start screaming that your a goth (literally nothing gothic, just a shirt that's black) The world is one huge bag of mixed nuts, you have to stop taking them seriously and start laughing at the insanity around you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianblackberry Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well that's the problem - I don't know whose side I should be on. I can't even side with Hasbro, because they're sending out C&Ds now! I can't even decide whether I should be happy with what the outlook on the show as a general is.If it helps, Hasbro has always sent out C&Ds to some level, they are required to essentially since one is required to enforce the trademarks one owns or risk losing them. That being said, Hasbro, like a lot of the companies who own the shows or characters a great many fandoms develop around, ignore a good 98% of the fan crated material using their trademarked characters, otherwise we wouldn't have thousands and thousands of images, stories, jewelry, buttons, and plushies around, all fan made. Hasbro knows this stuff exists and is willing to "look the other way" as long as it doesn't actually threaten their trademark and brand, when it does, they have to come down, they really don't have a choice. All us fans who create derivative works know that is the risk we face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halide Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I just don't call myself a Brony, and I don't let anybody else shove that label on me. Brony has such a horrible connotation on the internet, and almost none of it applies to anything I do.Just say you like the show. You don't have to let other people label you if you don't want them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickLime Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Also "Bronyism" isn't a drug, implying it's the same as alcoholism, or smoking is kinda overblowing it ... It's a fandom not an addictive substance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
