1.) How old are you?
i just turned 18
2.) What is your level of educational attainment?
as of right now im in academic level courses at high school, i am hoping to achieve my papers in heavy-duty mechanics
3.) What groups or cultural identities other than Brony do you self-identify with?
I guess one could call me a whoovian, and when i entered the brony fandom i had just left the furry fandom, i was also apart of the sonic fandom (long time ago) and i still am touch and go with pokemon fandom stuff
4.) What attracted you to MLP and brony culture?
i had a friend that annoyed me so much about the show that i just gave in a watched it, and it stuck. i like to think that the most important reason that i watch mlp is because the characters are more relatable than other shows, the mane six all have actual faults that actually drag them down. most other modern shows don't have character depth like that.
5.) Do you consider MLP-related activities to be your primary hobby?
No, although i draw lots of artwork, and animate lots of pony stuff, i have to prioritize. and unfortunately mlp cannot be on the top of that list
6.) What percentage of your leisure activities would you estimate are related to MLP?
25%, due to the animation, drawing, and playing an active role in the brony community
7.) What portion of your friends also consider themselves bronies?
a very small amount, the only time i watch it with most of my friends is when we are all drinking!
8.) If you have non-brony friends, are you ‘out’ as a brony to them? If so, has this affected your relationship with them in any way?
I could care less if they think less of me as a brony or not, sure there are some jokes about the stereotypes of being a brony here and their. but for the most part im just myself, MLP has not changed my personality that much as though my friends have thought of me any different
9.) Do you feel that bronies as a group are put upon or stigmatized on the internet? (Or society as a whole?)
But of course, our society cannot handle a group of open-minded people like bronys, but it is because we are open minded that we can look past the stigmatization and hatred, after all. we are one of the only groups that actually believe in our slogan, Love and tolerate the friendship of magic.
