Bronies in general are into imagining, creating, and/or roleplaying anthromorphic characters.
They have pony OCs as well as other creatures like the griffons, changlings etc.
Bronies are furries, and I am irritated that so many are scared to associate themselves with that.
Furries got a bad rap because of their obscure obsession with animals or a certain animal. Many bronies do just the same, if not more immensely crazed than furries. And here I say "many" not all, but that also applies to furries. They get worse a rap because of the NSFW stuff - the exact as does Bronies :/
I seriously gotta come up with some diagram about this because so many forget or are just too scared to accept the facts. Everyone should stop being insecure about it. I never was active in the furry fandom (all I knew was it existed and so I just drew portraits of famous people etc), but I acknowledge it now because I was, and still love the story of Wind in the Willows - a story about anthromorphic characters.
Furries =/= Fantasy sex with animals. That's the shit you're scared of.
And I would hope that Brony =/= Fantasy sex with ponies along with that. You guys are the same. The end.
This has to be the worst comment in this thread. Haven't you seen the show? Look up the definition of anthromorphic, break up the word if you have to. They're anthromorphic because of their human like gestures, expressions, and behaviour. Nothing to do with having hands or not, otherwise what about furries who are into snakes and made themselves an anthro snake? :/ No hands.
Tell me what real horse have you seen that does this?
Stereotypical attributes of anthros. Sorry to rain on your picnic.
And bronies "just like the show"? No, they go beyond that, as I outlined above.
Whoa now, people of all fandoms with OCs have been doing this for ages.. all in the name of "making a unique OC". The fact that you state "or whatever anthro is supposed to be" states you know jack all on the subject anyway, why admit that and then say you think the brony fandom is completely a different thing when you obviously have little clue? :/ All I see is people thinking this and this only "furries are a bunch of hippie animal lovers and a brony is so not that".
