I personally define closet bronies as people who deliberately try to avoid leaving cues that they express interest in mlp, so according to that I would say you are more of a casual brony than a closet one. I get that people get annoyed when they have things shoved in their face or when certain aspects of a fandom disturbs them, but this whole anti-"insert fandom name" concept is questionable to begin with, what does someone else's interest in a cartoon/videogame/movie/etc has anything to do with you?

Someone ferociously lobbing insults at you through a computer screen is quite different from some ferociously charging at you with a knife. You actually get the option to choose whether or not you want to give a damn about it or not. Words by themselves are simply a collection of pixels or noises depending on the medium, the words only have meaning when we give them meaning (This explains the phenomenon of sarcasm). You deem the words harmful and they will harm you, if not then they are just a collection of letters, unlike a knife which is a knife with no questions asked, and it hurts when someone stabs you with it with no questions asked. In the case someone does decide to physically go at you because you're a brony, do what you need to do, but if they're just firing 4 letter words from their mouth or furiously smacking away on the keyboard a good few miles away, they are simply not worth your time.

They are quite active on Twitter.

I am genuinely more interested in that toy soldier third person shooter video game he was playing in the background, what is that game called?

Are there any restrictions about double dribbling or something similar when one never even sets one foot/hoof on the ground? Because with that pair of wings...

Brony is a title that you can choose to take or not, it's all up to you. What other people say is their problem.

Hmmm, I'm having déjà vu here.

4 years here too, and I agree with what you said, though being a brony is something interesting that you can bring up from time to time. It's all about being calm and not getting too obsessed.
