Derpy's been around since O'le Granny Apples's been a little filly, before Pony Ville was ever founded. It's safe to say that Derpy is the immortal goddess of Muffins.

Yeah, what another commenter said, it' not just the show that makes up the Fandom, it's the Fandom itself and every(pony)body in it. It's up to you if you want to leave, I never want to leave for a loooong time! So amazing I'm having second thoughts on the Furry Fandom, but then I'd start from Zero again.

It all depends on what happens in the future. At the rate we're going at, and stay how we are, we're going to take the world over and maybe match Bungie in world domination. This can't be a closed statement though, because we don't know if the mass media or some "popular" show on MTV will bring the fandom down in the public's eyes. That's what I'm most worried about. The Brony Fandom is something very unique, and it's something that'll live on LOONNGG after the show stops. Even if it stops airing on T.V, there's still going to be Bronies around. Bronies who meet up and have families might pass MLP down to their children, if they like it they might become Bronies too. Look at Starwars, the first movies have been out for a Buck load of time, and there's games, shows, toys, collecters items, and recent movies were made too. My Little Pony has only been out since 2011 I believe, and look how much the fandom's grown since then. The Brony Fandom still has A LONG time to go, a lot of great things to see and create, and will probably last until we're very old. If not, after we die in a way. Also, after the show stops airing, there's always going to be those who'll still provide for the fans, like Halo 4 for instance (Examples FTW ). This is all my opinion, it'll be different than every other pony's opinions, but... yeah .

Season 1? Winter Wrap up. Season 2.... Tie between Big Brother Best Friend Forever & This day Aria. Big Brother Best Friend Forever probably. So many good songs, it's hard to choose. Love is in Bloom when you're cruising in the night though. Best, drive, ever

I honestly couldn't think of the show getting the same appeal as it would with Ponies. I think that if it wasn't a certain species of animal, but several each and unique to the character it could work, but it'd have to be more "boyish" than all Ponies. I also think that it's not just what animal it is, but how they're drawn too. Real ponys don't have hooves like any of the MLP characters (duh), and since a lot, or most people know of the old 80's and 90's generations of My Little Pony, it becomes more recognizable and accepting. There's still a borderline to the "girly cutesy" atmosphere. I honestly, for the life of me cannot think of another animal that would be both fitting to the kind of atmosphere MLP: FiM has, and fitting overall. I think ponies work so well with how the show is already, is because how the older generations were where the "girly" type atmopshere was WAY over borderline, they lowered those levels, and added all the things we all love and BAM, FiM. I think some things could work the same, though it wouldn't necessarily be exactly the same as it would the Ponies we all know and love, but some things can work.

I think that those people against the term "Brony" or the fandom are taking it way too seriously, because to be honest, the Brony fandom is known to the main public as a huge community of guys who watch My Little Pony. It's much more misleading and unexpected than a girl watching Mlp, and also that it's the first term used to label someone who's a fan of the show and who partakes in the fandom. "Pegasister" developed after the Brony community was created I think, and it'd be weird if the fandom took out the title "Brony" for something else. Anyways, these feminists are just taking things way too seriously in my opinion.
