Fender 1,284 December 20, 2014 Share December 20, 2014 I am surprised *anyone* still gives a shit about bronies. I am sorry, but I don't see why people, even bronies, care about seeing other bronies or things related. Even the other bronies who act like we're super special or something because we take interest in a show and its fandom. Who cares? Stop defining yourselves or others strictly by their interests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monochrome Gray 7 December 26, 2014 Share December 26, 2014 So it's just a case of the watchies and spies huh? I'm really quite surprised that some people haven't gotten over us yet especially since its been so long. Well if I ever see an unknown photo of me on Twitter or Facebook because of an idiot..I only hope they get my good side....OH Wait! I only have good sides! HE HO HA HU HA *cOUgh* *hack* *wheeze*...you get the idea.. Monochrome, Monotone, and Nimbus...Grey Pattern, Grey Emotion, Grey Cloud...Completes the meaning, not the rhyme. ~Monochrome Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Snyder 4,112 December 26, 2014 Share December 26, 2014 I wouldn't mind either, i had my pic taken with my cat and i'm willing to show every brony what i'm like. Sure, i'm a boy and have a mare for an oc. But that's all the fun i need. //// My persona and OC: Candy Star //// Ask me anything: Ask Candy Star //// My Music //// //// My DA: (OC requests available) //// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neutral 1,185 December 26, 2014 Share December 26, 2014 well it seems that anything trends on twitter. Hopefully this trend ends soon but at the moment i find it funny that they do this, bronies have been around since 2010 so i don't see the deal with this. 2 Credit to Rainbowdash72 for sig credit to Ivory for the amazing avatar credit to couleur for the wallpaper if your in hell keep going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Letter 1,832 December 26, 2014 Share December 26, 2014 In some places it is illegal, I don't know where exactly though. I think in the US, it's legal because there is no expectation of privacy in public. It's a reason why it's legal to film law enforcement. Stop defining yourselves or others strictly by their interests. Sorry but that's never going to happen. Cliques and such things will always exist. 2 Silver Letter!!!

Fender 1,284 December 27, 2014 Share December 27, 2014 Sorry but that's never going to happen. Cliques and such things will always exist. Fair point, I was probably venting when I posted that. I often find most of my issue resides with bronies getting worked up over these things, because to me, these little issues shouldn't matter, and I'm a part of the fandom. I dunno. In any case, cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverStarApple 849 December 30, 2014 Share December 30, 2014 This is disrespectful to these people and their privacy. How would they react if there was something like... A hashtag, where anyone who took a food stamp card out of a guchii bag while wearing 30-dollar clothing and 60-dollar shoes was caught. They'd flip their **** like it was a bird. 1 I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive.

Neutral 1,185 December 30, 2014 Share December 30, 2014 I think that if we ignore it then they will just stop, because all they want is a reaction out of us although I can see it's a privacy issue.

High Step 46 January 1, 2015 Share January 1, 2015 (edited) Personally, I have never lived for the opinions of others about me, but rather, my own opinion about me, like me or not, it is no skin off this muzzle. However show me friendship and I will give back friendship in spades. Spot the Bronies? How about "Spot the Bronie spotters?". Addendum: I do not wear, carry or display anything that is pony related in public. Edited January 6, 2015 by High Step 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creamy Arty 6,252 January 1, 2015 Share January 1, 2015 Maybe I just don't know what to look for, but I can't think of any other fandom with people anywhere near as easily identifiable as bronies are. Never do I just walk through a store or down the street and think "oh, look, a [insert fandom demonym]" Sonic fans, Whovians, Trekkies... all of them have things they could wear or carry to make them easy to spot, but I honestly can't think of any instances where I have spotted them. Bronies, on the other hand/hoof, wear clothes and accessories that make it obvious what they are pretty often. Some people are going to use this as an opportunity to make fun of us, sure. Can't get around that. To me though it's really cool and a little endearing. I love being able to spot another brony in the wild so easily. Let those outside the fandom laugh and jeer if they want to. Makes no difference to me and doesn't get in my way of enjoying anything. In fact, I'm going to wear one of my pony shirts today when I go to the movies. Let's see if anybody puts me on Twitter. 1 Kyoshi made this ^^ Come join us on Equestria.tv on Fridays at 6 PM Eastern for our weekly movie nights!

MagentaRush 44 January 1, 2015 Share January 1, 2015 Just because somebody is not displaying any outward signs of MLP-fandom? I guess it is usually hard to tell the difference between Bronies and Non-Bronies without asking, especially since not everyone has merch. Sorry, I didn't think about that ^-^;; Smile, smile, smile!

Guest March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 This is disrespectful to these people and their privacy. How would they react if there was something like... A hashtag, where anyone who took a food stamp card out of a guchii bag while wearing 30-dollar clothing and 60-dollar shoes was caught. They'd flip their **** like it was a bird. I actually would love for that to become a thing so the people who control foodstamps can re-investigate some of those people to make sure they are not scamming the system. I don't think it's a good comparison as doing the "brony spotted" thing though. So my thoughts on this: it doesn't matter. It's not worth giving any kind of reaction towards because every reaction is an overreaction really. Claiming "it needs to stop" or any kind of "defense", even one where you are being smug and being like "Ha! We are better than them so joke's on them", "We got them to think we're important, so ha!" is really just going to have a negative effect. I don't get why people think the whole passive aggressive thing will make people think better of bronies or flipping out on them. The BEST strategy: don't do anything. If someone calls you out for being a brony just shrug and say you like a show and that's about it. When you make it into a big deal, it becomes a bigger deal. The majority of the people who troll bronies do so because they react. And you may think that "love and tolerate" and passive aggressive responses or "showering them with kindness" is the best way to counter them, but it's not. The ONLY way to stop trolling is to ignore it. Do not give them anything to feed on. You are not "winning" by saying love and tolerate, you're giving them things to go on. Trolls do not have a positive or negative goal, their goal is a reaction. Their goal is to get you to acknowledge them, so as long as you do that, you are making the problem worse. Starve them of attention. Starve them of acknowledgement and don't give them anything to go on. They will get bored and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 I imagine them whispering things to themselves as they take the picture. "Here is a Brony in its natural habitat. Move slowly and keep hidden, 'less we scare him off. A remarkable creature, he is. Oh look! He's doing something. He's going to the McDonald's. What will he buy? This is so exciting! Wull he buy the happy meal? Will he? Yes he will! The lure of the pony was too much for him to handle! Simply marvellous creatures!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varrack 1,080 March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 By wearing clothing with printed designs from a particular franchise, you're basically making yourself a walking billboard. Either you're advertising what you're wearing or you're just showing off your interest, which in both cases should make you happy if people take notice of it. So really there is no reason to be upset about this, because the person who's wearing the shirt is the one who's wanting the attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponies4Bronies 394 March 17, 2016 Share March 17, 2016 (edited) It's illegal to post pictures of you without your consent. So go on Twitter hopefully some idiot took a picture of you, find it on Twitter, find the person, get a lawyer, sue them for millions, profit. Even if its not illegal in your area there is still a good chance it will win in court. Edited March 17, 2016 by Rainbow Dashe Honey Wings, my love, my life, together forever.
