I totally thought the same. First, I searched for a con, but then I thought of a forum. And google got me here. xD
But I'm glad though, I like it here. But sadly these are the only brownies (oh dear god, i really wrote brownies.. o__o) bronies I know (besides a good friend of mine from the other side of my country..), my rl-friends don't really like Mlp. Too childish, too girlish, too much rainbow and glitter. I think they could like it, if they'd want to. But they don't want. xD
