I'm not sure I should dive right in here and pour all my feelings out. But the bullying in my local brony community is extensive to the point if your 'face don't fit' they will not only exile you from the group, but make sure every other group in the region doesn't let you in. They are very cliquey and not only have I been bullied and tormented by these people, but stalked and attacked both online and offline. I've finally busted free from everything they've been doing, and I'm still haunted by the memories of the people who I thought would be the most accepting and most trustworthy. I thought, being a lonely guy myself, I could find somewhere to belong, and half the stuff that happened to me most of y'all wouldn't believe. And I really probably shouldn't go into it, as it might ruin the fandom for some people. But I was heartbroken for the longest time, I trusted these people! I bonded with them, and all the time they were laughing at me behind my back and plotting to do the most damage they could to me. I still can't go near the cafe they meet up at, even when it's not the day they go. I end up with anxiety attacks just thinking about it, and I can't even enjoy the cafe anymore. Sometimes I wonder how the ponies would react if they saw some of the horrible things that happened in this world. But I will always love MLP and that whole world. No-one can rob me of that. And I know there are loving people out there in the fandom, but I tend to keep the love of the show my own personal thing now, I don't want bad experiences to put me off the show.
