Gonza97 And those wankers say we are the plague....who's the real plague now? Those who genuinely enjoys a show or those who spite those who enjoys it?
Thank you, ABC. Thank you, for doing a segment on Bronies that does not make us look like a bunch of socially inept basement dwelling man-children. Shout out to fellow Military Bronies.
Note: I am a brony! Comment: Honestly, the normies aren't totally wrong... just probabilistically, conditioning on brony status one is more likely to be a basement dweller... like 1% ->2%? that condition's rare anyway. Though typical "social skills" like normie traits like avoiding awkwardness via redirection, feigning interest, managing other people's emotional states in conversations are likely lower in brony community as well. Not all social skills are normie traits, stuff like probing people for new (to you) experiences + sharing idea is useful and cool. So you lose some positives and negatives when your social skills are lower. Basically normies pick up social skills in a non-agentic manner, through intuition, so they pick up both the positive and the negatives. People say the Brony Documentary (with Discord voice actor) was patronizing, but I thought it was fine enough, they included many different types of bronies like the british kid with aspergers, The Living Tombstone, the kid with conservative dad, the rural guy with ponies on his car (seriously, awesome, that guy was most interesting out of the bunch for me), TheManliestBrony too. Would have liked to have at least one Military Brony get a segment in there, but at least they were mentioned (passingly). Makes very much sense why jake the army guy would get particularly ticked about that stereotype, since he worked hard getting fit + fulfilling army duties for years, worked to not be "weak", succeded and is confident enough in himself to be public about his show love. So when people judge him off of a stereotype like that they're spitting in the face of all his work.
@@RianneGrace not a very graceful comment... unless you are trolling a la "Twilightlicious"? Kudos! P.S.: Are you going to eat that almond? I'm fairly hungry currently.
I love this. After serving in the army for 2 years before being medically discharged I always watched Mlp fim with my best friends whenever we could. This show helped me deal with the horrors of combat and it helped me remember the good times I had with my two buddy's I lost in that day our Humvee was hit with a IED and I lost my arm and both legs. I still watch the show to this day and it's helped me with my ptsd and physical therapy for my prosthetic arm and legs.
Powernote Brony awesome story mate... And i think i can comprehend... Not exactly in the same way. Mine was more about that i hade problem with getting over depression because of... Well serious stuff in my life. I noticed that mlp gave me a feel good feeling when watching it. So when my depression was really bad i turned on and saw a episode or two... Today I'm over my depression... I can even talk about it without getting relaps.... Part of it is thx to mlp
That doesn't justify it. I identify as a hardcore brony, and I make an effort to call out cloppers and their sick fetish. They give me and the fandom a bad name.
It's really a good show that just happens to transcend gender and age. It's a show about the heart, any person can enjoy that. I'm a college guy, and it's one of the best cartoons shows I've seen in years. It's made cry and laugh. :D I'd say my addiction to this show is on par with my addiction to Pokemon. I'll be a Pokemon fan for life as I will be a Brony for life.
Well said. I too will be a Pokemon & MLP FIM fan for life. Edit: To add I will always enjoy one thing in cartoons/shows. Creativity. From cartoons to anime, to shows and more. I'm a fan to nearly anything where the creators have put effort in their work. That goes for music as well.
It's not a bad thing,ignorant people just don't understand it that's all..and if people don't like it or understand it,that's THEIR problem..history doesn't remember the mindless followers,it remembers those who choose to be different and think for themselves,be and think "outside the box"..and Bronies are the later kind of people :) It's cool to be "weird" :D
PEG FourHundred Maybe it is to you,but that doesn't mean other people think it is..if you don't like it then IGNORE IT..unless of course you're a troll who just wants to try to piss people off because you don't have anything better to do..
Chelsea McDonough I thought you did great on that interview..I'm sure some people are unsure about Bronies,but I think once someone gets to know some of them a little better then they would see that they're not creepy pedophile type people
Dum brony third a finnel slosion I made up for you gas mask but with gas tanks and you have to breth it breath the gas becus all you have is a gas mask and your brain what to work forever
Thanks ABC for trying to show the positive side of the fandom, even this amount of positivity cannot help clear the mind of sad little creatures who fear people who like something they don't and must spend their time making offensive comments towards them.
@@xbrandon2252 it's not specifically designed for "little girls" anybody can like anything, the show's target demographic is younger people but that doesn't mean teenagers and adults, specifically men here, can't enjoy it as well.
I was very happy to see this. After watching the fox news reports on it (them bashing bronys), this was a refreshing more true to what the fandom is about and I appreciate that.
That's right it's really rare in my opinion to have a cartoon series that has quality writing and voice acting in it. Heck when I first got into it I just started doing TH-cam videos during the same year and I had in mind to do blind commentary videos on the show but not right away because of my shyness. But now I'm doing blind commentary videos on the show. I started with Crusaders of the Lost Mark just to test to see how my at the time current subscribers would react to it. And beginning with the season premiere I began to do blind commentaries on the show weekly. I am a more happier and confidant person than I was before I got into My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
OMG like on every single video that relates to mlp people always have to be so negative. What's wrong with bronies? So by calling us gay does that mean we all like guys for liking a TV show not meant for us. The world gets more stupid everyday I thought ABC did a good job on this and thank you Chelsea McDonough for being respectful with the idea of us liking a TV show that wasn't meant for us. I feel that people can be whoever they want to be and be free to choose what to like without getting judged.
I'm a brony. I'm 17. plan on going to college after this last year of high school and joining the us army national guard. God bless all my fellow bronies, pegasisters, and military bronies. #MLP Forever
I AM 13 years old and a big fan of this show. its sweet, colorful, and good message. but i guess a lot of people in this world don't care for such things. but when this show hits its 100 episode this year or gets a movie in 2017 or reaches its 10th anniversary i will be there. thank you for the people who support us and for the people who don't....... i don't know. and someone is probably going to make funny of me for having nothing to say but i honestly don't know what to say about you. maybe stick to the status quo and say that you are a jerk because you will never understand us and then you would just say that we are gay or that we are all faggots but no we are not and you would know better than that...... and so would we. so can we just stop calling each other names and be mature in the one world that we all share together? because deep inside our self's we all just want to live together and not hate each other. so coming from a 13 year old please stop the hate. because if we don't the world is going to be terrible for all of us and we won't stop trying to have the last laugh. so please stop because all of us are causing so much pain.......
Creativity to the max! It was a reference to the episode "Bridle Gossip" when Spike made a wise-crack about the effects of the Poison Joke plant on the Mane 6. "HAIRity, Flutterguy, AppleTEENY, SPITTY Pie, Rainbow CRASH, and . . . uh . . . um"
My friend is a brony himself and I wish I could tell my mother about this show but she wouldn't understand, she'll think it's weird. When I saw my friend collecting My Little Pony stuff I thought it was weird at first but then I saw the show I was like "But it's not weird at all"
Thank you for showing the good side of us ABC. Not like how FOX is always going towards our stereotype looking Bronies. Thank you for shouting out the college bound and college student Bronies, thank you for recognizing the Military Bronies, thank you for not dissing us. I LOVE YOU ABC!!
As a military brony (former infantryman now helicopter crew chief) I can say that it's not at all weird for a military guy to like a kids show. When faced with long hours and the constant stress of knowing that every decision you make could be life and death, it's good to have a release. In Iraq I new guys that would have regular Disney movie nights, or other "children's " entertainment. A bunch of us would watch Power Puff Girls, there were some guys that watched Strawberry Shortcake. It's perfectly natural.
Wow, I'm actually quite fond of this news reporter. He really does take an interesting approach on the subject. I think the mom just fears for her children, which I couldn't entirely blame her for at first glance xD
What a great video, they did an excellent job explaining the fandom. They did an even better job of showing off the Littles Toy Company booth and when that women was talking about them having more of a selection than target, yup that was us she was talking about. Met some really cool artists there who do amazing work.
Now, this I like. This was honest and open minded. Although they didn't really understand it at first, they didn't jump to conclusions and start labeling people. They actually gave it a chance. It's definitely good to see some news networks actually starting to put some effort into learning the whole story rather than broadcasting their own biased opinions. Thanks ABC :D
I don't believe anyone thinks about out of shape basement dwellers when they think of Brony's. What that guy's describing are guys that are into comics, gamers, and action figures. Thinking about a Brony would evoke things like gays not out of the closet, sexual deviants, and other mental illnesses where you're living out a life as a little girl. I'm not saying at all that's what I think/believe, just saying from what I've always heard, a Brony is in no way looked upon the same as the perpetual action figure collecting 40 year old virgin. You should absolutely be unapologetic in whatever brings you joy. You do you; but it is very unusual for a man (or even little boy) to gravitate towards My Little Pony, when there's a million other more "appropriate" things to be into. It's just very psychologically interesting.
OOOOHHHHH!! Jacob is the boss! Wow ABC featured Equestria Daily as well the most popular fan website for Bronies. This is what i like about the news kind to our fandom not like FOX News the most retarded news. Most of the millitary are also part of fandom and sometimes protect our fandom as well. Take that haters! Haters gonna Hate. Deal with it. :P Oh Brohoof to anypony /)
(\ I'll Hoof to that! I'm so glad i said it last time they talked about a Ponycon, it really is nice how its becoming less "Wrong" to be and older fan male or female.
PEG FourHundred There is "questionable porn" marketed towards alot of pop culture phenomenons,why should My Little Pony be any different?Yeah,there are probably some MLP Bronies that ARE mentally disturbed,but that doesn't mean all of them are..I think it's cool that some of these guys in their 20's and 30's are into MLP,I've been a MLP fan since I was a kid..my personal view is,if you don't like it and think it's weird or stupid or whatever,then here's an idea IGNORE IT..I go on Equestria Daily at least once a week,and I belong to a Facebook MLP group..I
Well, people want to see "weird" stuff in the news. And, news flash, being a brony IS kind of weird. At least they finally interviewed the sort of normal brony so many of you have been screaming that they interview. Too bad more bronies aren't like that military brony. Military bronies are the only type of brony I've actually enjoyed hanging out with in this fandom.
I love how Jake also has the Umbrella logo on his vest. As if you can't get any more awesome then Metallica, Motorcycles, MLP, and Military, he has a good taste in games.
I totally agree with those two people talking about Pokémon. This series and MY LITTLE PONY totally changed my life and I still even keep playing the old versions of pokémon. Emerald is my personal favorite.
im 32 year old woman and i started watching my love pony just to make sure its something i want my kid watching and i actually got sucked into it and ended up watching all the seasons
Being a Brony is no different than being part of any other social group. Ive been part of the fandom, since G1. I thought this experience was Hilarious: while I was on facebook, when some kid's grandparent tried telling me, that we're part of a Cult :)
Eh, the whole time whole time they talked you can they are thinking what in the world am I doing and it was even more awkward they they tried playing off that they were Bronies now, when they know nothing about the show. I just wish the media would leave us alone and let people find us on their own and form their own opinions.
Have you guys heard of Blogologues?? They have a sketch comedy show in NYC that includes a rap that teaches people about Bronies. Their next show opens May 8th! Check 'em out!!
Why the hell do you hate ALL of us? What about the people who just watch the show? I personally don't like the cosplayers, or the people who buy all the toys, and go to the conventions. But I deal with them. Now, hate on the cloppers, and the hyper-addicts. The addicts are the ones who try to transform others.
Been a brony since October 2011. 6 cons, have handled for djs and met most of the show staff. To those questioning why; why do you enjoy Disney/Pixar films, loony toons, marvel movies/comics? You do because they're fun, adventurous and an escape from reality. It's the same for us. We enjoy a show; do we have our issues? Yea; so does the anime community, furries and gaming communities. For the most part it's just people simply enjoying something. If you don't like it; cool. WE'RE NOT BOTHERING YOU
uh.. well it could be that the show gave you your childhood, you missed and had taken away as a child? or just you know, the simple fact that it comforts you , in ways mostt people cant? .. :V I mean those are just MY reasons to love the show.. JUST saying.. so if u hate, think about growing up without parents, having ur childhood stripped away from you,. AND being neglected by others :) * I was i soviat union by the way, and was tought SHOOT TO KILL at the age of fking 3 .. HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH THAT? HUH? becua ... ha ha ,, becuz if u DO have a reasonable answer please fuking tell me , if there are two birds, who just had a n egg, and didn't even have a chance to care for it, and then have the bird get abused, by others, " human kind" :V ahmm then uh.. being tought that fending for ur self and killing others was the way to go, and in order to survive u can trust NO ONE and have that to live off of instead of ur loving parents, then.. yeh .. luckily, I was brought and adopted to go in america, so i didn't actually KILL any person. :V mmm almost said any pony XD damn and it just made me feel better about my life THATS why I like the show, and then it goes deeper, with all the... grown -up .. uh :V things to it , but usually it doesn't get to that.. I still love Russia though ; 3
Glad to see the comments are full of reasonable people. Most of the time, videos about bronies are hater rallies. As a brony, I get bombared with hatred just for liking it. Anti-bronies are some of the biggest hypocrites out there. Acting like they're the definition of mature when they talk like 12 year old wiggers. I love MLP. It's a great show & I wanna hug the ponies. I'm not a fat neckbeard, nor do I wear a fedora or live in a basement. I also find cloppers to be disgusting. I'm very clean cut & am tough when I need to be. Yes I like MLP, I wanna hug the ponies, I love the Rainbow Rocks soundtrack, & I wanna kiss the Equestria Girls. To this day not 1 anti-brony has said their bullshit to my face.
One thing I know for sure that the news got wrong about bronies and mlp, DONT LOOK AWAY! this is not hate. All I want to say is that the show is not exactly completely centered around little girls, the toys are for sure but the show itself is in its own way for men, one anti-brony asked someone who makes the show what they think about teen to grown men watching their show for little girls, the woman had something to say. "My Little Pony is not made for little girls, it is made for little girls and their parents to enjoy. And that does include men." Those are not the exact words but that is the gist of it. I am happy to see a general kindness and sort of understanding rise from much of society. It warms my heart. keep it up people. Women are treated fair, blacks are treated fair, hell gays are treated fair by general society, these to many people are subgroups within society, bronies are a subgroup. I also have noticed the red line under the word brony, lets get the word into webster dictionary lol.
Now THAT's how you do an unbiased report of something, even though you're obviously not fully comfortable with it. Kudos, ABC.
It's always nice to see some positive publicity for this fandom, and I appreciate the nods to pegasisters too.
Me too.

Same
Jake is so awesome! It's because of guys like him that bronies are gaining more respect
Wanpaku Graffiti ... Who’s respecting them?
@@michaeldukes4108 I am
Wow, I'm actually quite fond of this news reporter. He really does take an interesting approach on the subject. I think the mom just fears for her children, which I couldn't entirely blame her for at first glance xD
3:22 "...and you're into ponies" the condescending tone of his voice is hilarious lmaoo
What a great video, they did an excellent job explaining the fandom. They did an even better job of showing off the Littles Toy Company booth and when that women was talking about them having more of a selection than target, yup that was us she was talking about. Met some really cool artists there who do amazing work.
Now, this I like. This was honest and open minded. Although they didn't really understand it at first, they didn't jump to conclusions and start labeling people. They actually gave it a chance. It's definitely good to see some news networks actually starting to put some effort into learning the whole story rather than broadcasting their own biased opinions. Thanks ABC :D
THANK YOU! MLP IS SUCH A GOOD SHOW
I'm a pegasister it's so much fun i love how sweet it is and how catchy the song is.
I’m a brony. Who else is a brony?
Me

Get help
Omg a positive thing on bronys
@Pony On Crack yeah
Sana ibabalita 'to sa TV Patrol, Aksyon o 24 Oras sa Pilipinas.
- Pinoy Brony 🦄🇵🇭
I'm 12 almost 13. Pegasister!
I have to wait next year to officially be a pegasister
And who in all of Equestria made up that rule? You can be a pegasister or brony no matter what your age, gender, religion, race, etc.
The Brony Society For Acceptance and Friendship
No, we are pegasister it's just we are fillies. Da fudge and eh tolkang arbot enomar
#Yourockgirl!
Happy belated birthday!
I don't believe anyone thinks about out of shape basement dwellers when they think of Brony's. What that guy's describing are guys that are into comics, gamers, and action figures. Thinking about a Brony would evoke things like gays not out of the closet, sexual deviants, and other mental illnesses where you're living out a life as a little girl.
I'm not saying at all that's what I think/believe, just saying from what I've always heard, a Brony is in no way looked upon the same as the perpetual action figure collecting 40 year old virgin. You should absolutely be unapologetic in whatever brings you joy. You do you; but it is very unusual for a man (or even little boy) to gravitate towards My Little Pony, when there's a million other more "appropriate" things to be into. It's just very psychologically interesting.
OOOOHHHHH!! Jacob is the boss! Wow ABC featured Equestria Daily as well the most popular fan website for Bronies. This is what i like about the news kind to our fandom not like FOX News the most retarded news. Most of the millitary are also part of fandom and sometimes protect our fandom as well. Take that haters! Haters gonna Hate. Deal with it. :P Oh Brohoof to anypony /)
Did you just say most of military is a Bronie lol? Your guys fandom is given so much hate for no reason but saying that is a little ridicule.
(\ I'll Hoof to that! I'm so glad i said it last time they talked about a Ponycon, it really is nice how its becoming less "Wrong" to be and older fan male or female.

There is "questionable porn" marketed towards alot of pop culture phenomenons,why should My Little Pony be any different?Yeah,there are probably some MLP Bronies that ARE mentally disturbed,but that doesn't mean all of them are..I think it's cool that some of these guys in their 20's and 30's are into MLP,I've been a MLP fan since I was a kid..my personal view is,if you don't like it and think it's weird or stupid or whatever,then here's an idea IGNORE IT..I go on Equestria Daily at least once a week,and I belong to a Facebook MLP group..I
Beth Goldstein
Agreed..I myself would LOVE to go to Ponycon..I could drop some cash there :)
I raise a hoof to you :)
A Brohoof to anypony..love you guys :D
Guess what!! I'm become the next generation Brony as I'm moving forward to new series of MLP called: Pony life!!! Let's go!!!
Omfg why can't you just leave the fandom alone ugh.
I know right
Well, people want to see "weird" stuff in the news. And, news flash, being a brony IS kind of weird. At least they finally interviewed the sort of normal brony so many of you have been screaming that they interview. Too bad more bronies aren't like that military brony. Military bronies are the only type of brony I've actually enjoyed hanging out with in this fandom.
Leave Britney alone! I'm serious!
I love how Jake also has the Umbrella logo on his vest. As if you can't get any more awesome then Metallica, Motorcycles, MLP, and Military, he has a good taste in games.
D'aww, thank you!
No problem.
2:35 lol that's AnimatedJames
Dressed as the Rapper Pinkie Pie from "Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3!"
I HAD A FEELING!!!!!! XDXDXDXD
I totally agree with those two people talking about Pokémon. This series and MY LITTLE PONY totally changed my life and I still even keep playing the old versions of pokémon. Emerald is my personal favorite.
none of this would be happening without our savior Lauren Faust
To be honest this fandom makes me really happy, seeing all of these people enjoying my little pony makes me really happy. I just love it so much😊
im 32 year old woman and i started watching my love pony just to make sure its something i want my kid watching and i actually got sucked into it and ended up watching all the seasons
Wish we had more news like this.
love this cheers from another brony
1. My name is jake he is a disgrace
2. Don't tell me a solider is a brony
BlackGryph0n: Navy; JoshScorcher: marines; Me: Air Force. You were saying?
A soldier is a mega brony.
Finally something positive about bronies
It's good to see that bronies are now becoming a little bit more accepted to the world. It's nice :)
BRONY FOR LIFE!!!
You said it
Well said Eric Flynn, well said
i am a kid brony, bet you never saw a 9 year old brony, have you?
This guy is great did an amazing job on highlighting the truness of the brony fandom
i wish the brony comvetions were closer still that guy did good a job answering the questions showing the reporter the fandoms
not full of creeps
Not often times you see the news media support the fandom. Very nice of you ABC News.
Being a Brony is no different than being part of any other social group. Ive been part of the fandom, since G1. I thought this experience was Hilarious: while I was on facebook, when some kid's grandparent tried telling me, that we're part of a Cult :)
Yea
You forgot three words Friend ship is magic
You typed it as 4 words. DING! (*sin counter*) lol
nice video guys.
Once again not looking at the comments section. I know what's going to be there.
1:07 whats the name of the pony thats standing next to rainbow dash?
It's not a pony, it's a Pokemon by the name of Eevee.
that was the joke. i completely forgot i posted this.
On the left is Fluttershy, on the right is the Pokemon, Eevee
Cosplayers really give bronies an awkward image.
I personally appreciate fanart the most, not including R34 of course.
I love mlp, even though I'm going into my teen years, I still love it.
Eh, the whole time whole time they talked you can they are thinking what in the world am I doing and it was even more awkward they they tried playing off that they were Bronies now, when they know nothing about the show. I just wish the media would leave us alone and let people find us on their own and form their own opinions.
This was honestly such a nice news report. No mockery, just unbiased news, exactly how it should be, I actually really enjoyed watching this
2:36, AnimatedJames!!!!
Have you guys heard of Blogologues?? They have a sketch comedy show in NYC that includes a rap that teaches people about Bronies. Their next show opens May 8th! Check 'em out!!
Maybe I will. Sounds interesting.
I'm really surprised at how positive this is
2:38 My Little Pony:TNG confirmed. xD
i am sure comes the one day when people will understand mlp fans and otakus
Hopefully so!! My old science teacher hates bronies for some reason. xD
2:35 omg james on the left
I can't believe I missed him!!!
Awe this was amazing I'm happy someone from the news isn't all against mlp fim
I totally approve dis !
Poor guy, all the wars messed up his brain
Respect to you for not making a story that is a deliberate bash on the fandom.
Why the hell do you hate ALL of us? What about the people who just watch the show? I personally don't like the cosplayers, or the people who buy all the toys, and go to the conventions. But I deal with them. Now, hate on the cloppers, and the hyper-addicts. The addicts are the ones who try to transform others.
Uhhm, why should they stop hating "ALL of us" but hate the cloppers and hyper-addicts?
Willscarlet88 I mean it in the way that we aren't all the freaks that everyone hates. So they shouldn't hate all bronies, just the few freaks.
Nothing even wrong with cloppers.
Max Alex Berndt
Nah I dont think they're "freaks" either.
I don't "hate" the cloppers I generally just say do your thing but keep it to yourself bro.
at 2:36 you can see animated james
Been a brony since October 2011. 6 cons, have handled for djs and met most of the show staff. To those questioning why; why do you enjoy Disney/Pixar films, loony toons, marvel movies/comics? You do because they're fun, adventurous and an escape from reality. It's the same for us. We enjoy a show; do we have our issues? Yea; so does the anime community, furries and gaming communities. For the most part it's just people simply enjoying something. If you don't like it; cool. WE'RE NOT BOTHERING YOU
Well done, way to go into it with an open mind.
uh.. well it could be that the show gave you your childhood, you missed and had taken away as a child? or just you know, the simple fact that it comforts you , in ways mostt people cant? .. :V I mean those are just MY reasons to love the show.. JUST saying..
so if u hate, think about growing up without parents, having ur childhood stripped away from you,. AND being neglected by others :) * I was i soviat union by the way, and was tought SHOOT TO KILL at the age of fking 3 .. HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH THAT?
HUH? becua ... ha ha ,, becuz if u DO have a reasonable answer please fuking tell me , if there are two birds, who just had a n egg, and didn't even have a chance to care for it, and then have the bird get abused, by others, " human kind" :V ahmm then uh.. being tought that fending for ur self and killing others was the way to go, and in order to survive u can trust NO ONE and have that to live off of instead of ur loving parents, then..
yeh .. luckily, I was brought and adopted to go in america, so i didn't actually KILL any person. :V mmm almost said any pony XD damn and it just made me feel better about my life THATS why I like the show, and then it goes deeper, with all the... grown -up .. uh :V things to it , but usually it doesn't get to that.. I still love Russia though ; 3
I like that army guy
did he just say cult
Glad to see the comments are full of reasonable people.
Most of the time, videos about bronies are hater rallies.
As a brony, I get bombared with hatred just for liking it.
Anti-bronies are some of the biggest hypocrites out there.
Acting like they're the definition of mature when they talk like 12 year old wiggers.
I love MLP. It's a great show & I wanna hug the ponies. I'm not a fat neckbeard, nor do I wear a fedora or live in a basement.
I also find cloppers to be disgusting. I'm very clean cut & am tough when I need to be.
Yes I like MLP, I wanna hug the ponies, I love the Rainbow Rocks soundtrack, & I wanna kiss the Equestria Girls.
To this day not 1 anti-brony has said their bullshit to my face.
It’s not about what you look like on the outside, it’s of question of what’s on the inside, the psychology is bizarre and in question. 1:53
One thing I know for sure that the news got wrong about bronies and mlp, DONT LOOK AWAY! this is not hate. All I want to say is that the show is not exactly completely centered around little girls, the toys are for sure but the show itself is in its own way for men, one anti-brony asked someone who makes the show what they think about teen to grown men watching their show for little girls, the woman had something to say. "My Little Pony is not made for little girls, it is made for little girls and their parents to enjoy. And that does include men." Those are not the exact words but that is the gist of it. I am happy to see a general kindness and sort of understanding rise from much of society. It warms my heart. keep it up people. Women are treated fair, blacks are treated fair, hell gays are treated fair by general society, these to many people are subgroups within society, bronies are a subgroup. I also have noticed the red line under the word brony, lets get the word into webster dictionary lol.
That MIT student brony's girl friend is like get me the fuck out of here!!!!!!!!!!
Gonna be a military brony as well, joining the coast guard (when i can :/)
I'm Proud To Be A Brony I'm Collect Them For My Collections I'm Love My Little Pony.
Ow yeah.
