For me its once a brony always a brony. You cant love something for a long time and abandon it as if you never liked it in the first place. Sure, one day I'm not gonna be the hyped brony I once was but that doesn't mean I ditched it. MLP helped changed my life around bruh! And as for those "bad fans", well I tend to ignore them. I became a brony because I liked the SHOW not because of the fandom which I later learned was a big bonus.
