I see stories like this and it always reminds me of the LGBT community. Its like people trying to tell their parents their gay or a lesbian. Its sad really that some adults can be so closed minded. My own Mother doesnt understand but I'm an adult myself and I do as I please, be damned with what anyone likes or doesn't like.
Honestly, this problem is a complex one because it deals with the dynamics of the relationship with your parents, but honestly, you need to sit down with them and tell them about the complex community that has surrounded this show. Tell them it involves people of all ages from young and old. We have a vast array of talented videographers, animators, musicians, voice actors, writers, etc. Its not just liking a show but its so much more. Tell them its something you like and though you understand they may not understand it, it is something that makes you happy. Remind them that out of all the things in this world folks your age do, you choose to enjoy a show that teaches morals, friendship, love, respect and so much more.
If all of that fails to work, tell them you just don't understand why they want to teach you to judge others for what they watch when what they watch is nothing but good.
Its a bad situation, but in the end, you are who you are. You are one of us. You are one of the community. You are one of the folks in the Brony lifestyle and by Luna if you want a damn RD plushie, you should have it.
