It appears bronies have made the front page of a very popular news portal. How awesome is that?

Oh good, its actually some alright press instead of the usual slander Fox spouts out.

I'm glad that they got some actual comments from Faust and people at Bronycon instead of just asking random people what they would think. It allows us to get ourselves heard instead of allowing others to just laugh at us and discriminate against us.

Basically, GO YAHOO!

It would have been better if they posted a G4 image with the article rather than one from a earlier generation
Regardless, the article itself is the same one posted on a few other websites and I am glad that it talks of us positively

My mom pointed this out to me yesterday xP She was like 'hey, there's an article on Yahoo about the pony show! Some gathering?'

'It's called Bronycon, mom.'

'Oh, cool. Well there's a lot of neat looking costumes people have. Even one for Discord, and Rainbow Dash.'

'I know '

It's good to see the negative social stigma surrounding bronies being at least somewhat cleared up by this article. I really don't care if people think bronies are weird, just so long as they don't label them pedophiles or the like.

Also:

"It was just over a year ago when BronyCon attracted about 100 people to some meeting rooms in New York City. Now there are thousands of Bronies across the country."

Only thousands? We need more recruits!

Pretty good article, positive press is good press.

[Nouth]

Look at the facebook likes. 2.3 milions.

[deathbycake74]

With all the attention this shows getting we may have a rise of members to the herd.

Pretty good article, positive press is good press.

[Aero The Fox!]

Skimmed through the article, then quickly scrolled right down to the comments to see what the trolls posted. To my surprise a lot of the people seemed to actually be posting smartly. Awesome!

Reading this made me happy, it's great to see bronies are getting positive looks from the media!

This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.

This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

The only thing I fear about rising popularity of MLP is that it would someday come to point when it would be cosidered ,,cool" by majority of society. Because I fear that at that point the quality of our nice herd would drop a bit.
Because, nowaday's I can hardly see a hater in the herd. Haters just tend not to get over the ,,it's a show for little girls I don't wanna watch it" thing, and therefore they don't usually become bronies...
But leave dark prophetcyes to grimdark fanfic authors, lets celebrate instead :3.

I also hear that this year's Bronycon broke records for being the best and biggest meetup. EVER.
