I'm probably going to say the stupidest thing ever, but eh, good to help
I think the best thing here is the community. All the artists, Musicians, Writers, or just people who love to watch the show. I think it's not creepy, it's just stereotypical that people think that bronies are "Mentally disabled" or "Stupid". If you see a male in middle school with a MLP shirt, they're going to get beat up. If you see a girl with one on, people accept it. This is the part that people can't get used to, if they're not like everyone else, then they're mental. The community is what kept me here after the first few months, and that's what it's going to forever

Yep that sounded horrible.
Oh well
