As you can tell from the title I am new to the herd.I feel that i will enjoy my stay here and i can't wait to meet everyone. But you can also tell that I am in need of advice. One day I told my mom that I am a brony and, as I expected she was fine with it. I am very open about being a brony even at school,and I do not force my opinions on people who aren't bronys. The only person who didn't know was my dad.
One day my mom told my dad I was a brony and his reaction was just what I expected. He started asking why why grown men were watching mlp and I just told simply told him 'Because it's good,the animation is mind blowing,and the writing is clever.' To which he replyed 'bulls****' and started going on about how bronies are nothing but sick-minded pedophiles. To clarify he has not seen the show or knows anything about cloppers. I showed him the brony documentary trailer to show him how big of a fandom this is and he just started saying stuff like 'Oh, that guys obviously gay' or twisting what they said to make it pedo-ish.
Now i ask, what do you think of his reaction? Do you find him sick minded for coming up with these conclusions? replies would be appreciated and I hope to find more accepting people here.
