Flying Whales

Well, since I went to Equestria LA this week I bought two packs of MLP trading cards, a Rarity tee shirt from WeLoveFine, a poster of Chrysalis, one of Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash, and one of Princess Luna and Celestia. I also got a Derpy button as well as a Twilight button, and I got an 8-bit Rainbow Dash cutie mark keychain. So much money, and all worth it. Hahaha

Yeah, I wasn’t talking about the world, I was speaking in terms of the United States. Only because I live here and I can make a better estimation based on my experiences and what not. As far as the world, I think we probably have over a million Bronies for sure. That is pretty interesting as far as your school and my estimation.

Hmm that’s actually a really interesting thing to think about. I guess we need to ask ourselves what is a reasonable estimation of actual Bronies? Also are we talking about the world or say a specific country like the United States? In the case of the United States there is a total population of 311,591,917 people. I’m going to say at least 1 in every 500 people are Bronies, to me that seems pretty reasonable. That would give us about 623,184 Bronies in the US alone (rounded up) Now, that would make 0.2% of the American population as Bronies based on my estimation.

Yeah, exactly, that is why I’m so patient with them. They have no idea about the Internet culture I suppose. So, I just kind of held my tongue and just let them say what that wanted to say. Haha fat chance of them doing that They said flat out they don’t want to know.

I hear that, I should be able to transfer to a university next year. I’m ready to get out of my house. Don’t get me wrong I love my parents but I’m sick of having to tiptoe around who I am in my own house, it’s not just MLP it’s a lot of the stuff I’m into.

Wow, that is crazy. Of course the haters always come off as petty, and altogether ass holes. It’s different if it is your friend giving you a hard time but some random? Not so much. I think it is pretty funny that while he attempts to physically harm you, you just stay calm and still don’t raise your voice at him. I’m sure during this whole altercation he just looked completely ridiculous. Good for you for keeping your cool. I haven’t met a random hater in real life, but recently my parents and I had sort of an argument over it and I was quite displeased.

Ah, thanks guys. I know my parents are good people, and they really don’t understand, like with all new things that are a shock it’ll take time to accept. I guessed it upset me because I thought they were better than that, but of course, they grew up in a much different time with a different set of morals and values. I’m feeling better about it now though got to vent and sleep it off, thanks, all of you.

Yeah, to me the pedophile thing was extremely offensive to me, but yeah, I'll see about talking to them in a day or two. Let it sink in a bit, let me calm down. I think it'll be best. I'm actually watching it now on Netflix just because it clams me down. XD

Ah, thanks. Yeah, I tried to explain but they didn't want to hear. Like I said I'm just more mad than anything. Hopefully they won't give me a hard time though I don't think they will. I was actually pretty calm with them just because I didn't expect them just to say "sure that's cool" but I tried to explain but they weren't hearing it.

Today my parents kind of got on me about My Little Pony. I thought my mom has known about it for awhile, I've mentioned it to her before and my dad has even seen me watching the show. I thought they knew I was into the show and just kind of left it alone which I was really happy with. But today a friend of mine mentioned it to them trying to give me a hard time, which I'm also cool with. I can take a joke. But they were completely shocked and as soon as my friend left they kept going on about how weird it was, that it was for little girls, that I'm almost 20. They mentioned something about the fandom bing pedophiles (which really got under my skin). With all of that said I can understand how being a male fan almost 20 can come off as weird. But it's a great show, with a great message. It just does not seem like a big deal at all to me. It's just a TV show, and completely harmless. I can't believe the things people think of us, and my own parents at that. Have any of you guys experience something similar? Sorry to be ranty, but as the topic title suggests I'm disappointed and really pissed off at them and needed to vent a bit. I hold my parents in a high esteem and they didn't even attempt to understand they just wrote this whole thing off as weird and strange.

Boom! Rarity best pony! I can see where you are coming from. Awhile back I formed a bit of a crush on Toph from Avatar. To me, it sounds like you are more in love with the idea of Fluttershy. She has many qualities which would be desirable in another person. She’s sweet, kind, she’s very and nurturing. All of which are great traits for someone to have. I guess I’d try and find someone who has a similar personality to Fluttershy’s. By the way that did take some courage to admit so props to you my friend.
