UGH people really have nothing better to do then tease us, i have never had this problem but i could see this being a big issue. I was the last person people would have guessed to become a brony, my friends reaction's were priceless. I look at everything as one in the same, it really doesn't matter what you do their so much anger projected in no particular direction it just sprays and sprays through your internet waves but you got to take the good with the bad, its the best fanbase the world has ever seen. never in a million years would i think i would find so many people just like me. the best way to deal with it is to ignore it and it you are forced to face it just ask them if they have watched it. when they say no just tell them no matter what they say it is now invalid. all they can say at that point is its for little girls witch is funny because most the fans are young adult men.
or just pull a pinkie pie and laugh it off, kill them with tolerance and love!
