JAKJAK291 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 So the other day, I had a friend come into school wearing a brony shirt. I asked him what his favorite pony was and all of that jazz (it was Pinkie Pie). I thought it was awesome that I found another brony in my school. So I asked him a week or so later at lunch when the new season of MLP would start, and he said he had no clue and that he lied about being a brony. He only wore the shirt to piss of people.Has anyone had a situation like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 That sounds silly! If he was just trolling, that would suggest he doesn't have knowledge of what the names of the ponies would be, such as Pinkie Pie. I think there's some other reason this person responded the way he did, but I'm not sure why. My two bits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I really would have punched this kid, like seriously people thar do stuff like that gives a bad name to the brony community, if you don't want your friends to know stay in the stable! But just trolling makes me very very angry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ping111 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 You have really classy friends. My friends, if they knew I was a brony, would just call me "fag" or something. Or, maybe, just maybe, they may try and play me up by saying they're wanted to get in the show, and ask for all these details and whatever, before getting up and leaving. It would be especially effective because I tend to cling on to friends for the one or two attributes we share, before slowly opening the horizons to see more "friendable" aspects, so if I thought one of my acquaintances was a brony, I wouldn't shut up about it to them.

Kryptchild Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Sounds like a cover story. Pony shirts are fairly expensive, I don't imagine any non-fans would have the where with all to not only find a place that sells pony shirts, let alone buy one unless they were a fan. I smell deeper angst.I'm blatantly open with my pony stuff to all my friends/family. My philosophy is that if they're the kind of people who would harass me for something I like, then why the heck would I want to be friends with them?Heck, I've converted two of my friends, and got another to at least watch the show while she nurses her baby (she really likes it, but she's a super busy power mum).

MidnightBlackhorn Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I tweeted a pic about this actually:https://twitter.com/midnightAKAEric/status/252629963143004160/photo/1/largeNot necessarily about a friend per say but meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just trolling makes me very very angryI know it's a figure of speech, but responding that way is definitely not a good way to represent yourself, or the community. There's a lot of factors at play we are not aware of, so I would shrug and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenkan Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I agree with Rosewind here. Shrug off the entire situation.But in speculation, something's telling me he's a closet brony or at least watched the show...I mean, at one point he baught the shirt or his parents did and he did decide to wear it that day. I mean, what if there were no bronies to annoy for wearing that shirt and pretending to be a brony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Kryptchild is right. Shirts go for at least $20 (if you're lucky, considering how popular the show is), and well above. What teen really wants to waste that kind of money trolling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelEagle Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah, sounds like maybe he was around people who were giving him a hard time and was pulling off the ol' hipster troll routine.He's a brony in the stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah, maybe he got made fun of or something by someone else, so he feels it's in his best interest to just deny it so it doesn't get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAKJAK291 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I talked to him today, he said he wasn't trying to piss off anypony who liked the show. He was trying to piss off people who hated the show. And I do agree that he could be a stable brony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Read the following spoiler if you are 13 or up and want to know the truth about trolls. Really, this again? I am both a troll and a brony. I love how the media portrays us as people who "feel empowered" by trolling. We just find it funny. And to be honest, I HAVE a social life. I have REAL FRIENDS. I honestly only troll when some one acts like a fool usually some 17 year old goes on 4chan, and then calls everyone a pervert.And then when they make comebacks, she commits suicide and they are automatically evil little brats. (I rarely go on 4chan though, and when I do I try to stay away from any and all pictures of "pretty girls")Another thing is that really trolling is usually in my case 90% making the other guy insult me while I watch him get mad..

Starfox64x Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Gotta hate stupid people with too much money...I havent had it happen persay, at least not like that... but I can imagine it being annoying to think a friend is a fan and then it turns out he was being a jerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 This kid actually sounds like a genius. 13 and up post again due to mentioning an R rated movie and censored cursing. It's like V for Vendetta, he doesn't only wear the mask to hide his identity, he chose the Guy Fawkes mask to give a big "F YOU" to the bad guys. In your opinion he's an idiot, in everyone elses he's a BAMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIJIN Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Never has this happen to me, everyone I told just accepted it. Probably because I looked at them like a serial killer, but I mean come on, what's that going to do.They are, however, surprised that I actually watched the show at all. They play games with me (FPS') and I tend to scream and get a tad too hype and then I go watch MLP and I'm calm sipping herbal tea.Me: "YADDA YADDA YADDA DROP SHOT DIE ETC ETC!!!(10 Seconds later)Me: "Oh Rainbow Dash, you so funneh!
