DiamondMint Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I am pretty open,at school I carry around 5 notebooks and a folder specifically for the show.Someone asks,I tell them what it is.They ask why I like it,I tell them to watch some episodes and you'll know.They laugh,I say whatever.They try to make fun of me,I call them parasprites and walk away.I am also planning on putting up posters or something to advertise the show.So yea,I'm pretty open.

PurplePixil Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yes and no. As much as I want to show off my "brony personality" to the public, I just can't Even from my family, I mentioned it once and the reply I got was " Aren't you a bit too old for that?". I laughed and just said "no way, You're never too old for cartoons". Which is true, but... Only my close friends know about my pony-loving addiction. I guess I'm just to shy of the reactions I might get if people know I watch mlp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Well, I recently revealed to everyone at my school that I'm a Brony...and no seemed to care.So, besides my parents, I'm not hiding it from anyone, xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChancellorPuddinghead Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 In my area it's a badge of honor to be considered a brony (central NC). I've found it's much easier to communicate with teenagers (I'm old as dirt - wait - older - 43 - yes older) when I mention the show. I organize card tournaments in my spare time and I've found most of the teens who play cards love the show.If I'm at work and I mention it - thankfully I have 2 daughters so people assume it's for them. (insert giant 'I lied' face here lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 GAWD, no. I flaunt it like nobodies business. Even at work. I have my cubicle all decked out in PONY TOYS!! Woohoo! And I spend every minute the phone isn't ringing at work (like now) on canterlot.com....I don't hide it. I love ponies. I want everyone to love ponies. But more importantly....I love ponies.

Conor Colton Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Sadly yes... Only two people in the world know it...my best friend who is a guy, and my best friend who is a girl.....Not even my family knows...Which makes for some tense situations when I'm trying to write something 'pony related' as my brother loves to come into my room uninvited....But what else did you expect, I'm a High School Irish Senior.....I'm still ashamed of myself though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesh Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 But what else did you expect, I'm a High School Irish Senior.....I'm still ashamed of myself though You sir, have an extremely low threshold of shame. I understand not telling people, but the show is neither wrong nor excessively foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Colton Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I know, I love the show more than anything I don't plan on keeping it a secret forever, one day I will tell almost everyone I know It only makes sense anyway, if they're my friends they won't mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaks in and scoops all of Knight's MLP toys off the shelf and tip toes out of topic! On Topic: I think we should trust our own judgment - if you feel you should reveal something private about your life then it is up to you. And if Jason and Knight want to donate all their MLP toys to me - then that is fine as well! Bwah ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownclownMC Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hey guys! I'm having a bit of a problem with my brony-ness :SI only found Mlp Fim about a week ago and it has been my secret for that time. Somehow one of my irl friends has found out and none of my friends will be very accepting about me being a brony because of our ages. I'm not sure what I should do. I don't want to keep my bronyism a secret but if I tell them I'm afraid of the consequences.Thanks for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PlatinumRarity Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm not ashamed of it at all. The only reason I choose not to mention it to some people is that I'd rather not hear them whine... ahem, complain, about things they don't take the time to understand. I think the G4 Carlton Pinkie Pie ornament on my desk makes it pretty obvious to any observers however. Or those who see my iPhone wallpaper. Or my desktop....Edit: Brownclown I wouldn't worry about it. Friends will always truly be friends and accept the quirks of each other. Love and tolerance becomes easier with time, even if it's not you who needs the lesson. After all, we're here to support you through trying times!

ChancellorPuddinghead Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have to admit the other day I was on the phone at work talking to my daughter and the conversation went like:CPH: Yes dear I want you to bring up the youtube of (lowers voice) my little pony - sonic rainboom and make an AMV of Rhianna's 'We Found Love' When I'm out at card tournaments it's very easy to be nonchalant about it -but wow in a professional setting - it's a challenge!

It is of good quality, and is not terribly difficult to justify. It may not change their minds or stop teasing, but it will increase your confidence in yourself and your hobby. Why do you watch it? Answer that for yourself before opening my reasons below:The theme is that relationships are challenging, but rewarding and worth the effort.There is almost no romance drama, allowing the show to focus on attributes of healthy friendships. The characters are diverse and relate-able so anyone can find a character that they like. The lead is a nerd, but a cool one.The animation is visually appealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
