Hello, parents of some stranger from the Internet! I'm a full-time college student who gets good grades. I don't drink or do drugs. I appreciate theater and the arts. I teach Karate part-time. I actually teach many children, and to be honest, I'm kind of hurt that you believe that, just because I'm a brony, I'm more likely to be a pedophile. I understand that a bad first impression is difficult to change, but please hear us out. I've never met this Thoth fellow, but I'd like to stand by him. We share more than a common interest in a TV show; My Little Pony stands for sincerity and friendship, honesty and compassion. As older men/males, we've spent plenty of time on the Internet. We've had a glut of irony, trolls, and biting sarcasm, and we're ready for something real. We honestly love the show and the community that has formed around it. I also have a single mother (I assumed, since no stepfather was mentioned. My apologies if I was mistaken), a father, and a stepmother. They still don't entirely believe that I really enjoy this show. I've been asked several times, both subtly and explicitly, if we were watching the show on drugs, or if there was some other ulterior motive. I've told them the same honest truth as I mentioned above, and while they still don't understand my affection for this show, they accept it and me. I'm very thankful for that, and for the good relationship we all maintain. I know that you must be afraid for Thoth. You have legitimate reasons to be concerned; I have no doubt that you've seen horrible things. It is the Internet, after all. But look here! His plea for help has been answered by so many helpful bronies. I've never seen a more supportive group of people anywhere. Yes, there's that 1% of us who are reprehensible, just like in the rest of the population. But please believe me: you couldn't hope for a more positive, uplifting group of people for your son to associate with. Thank you for reading.
