Are you happy that you became a brony?

[Panne 1,342]

I'm not gonna lie, that crap puts me off of the whole fandom for me, too. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid that crap a lot of the time, and just be around people who don't take it so seriously.

When your best friend irl is a Zealot Brony it's not so easy... Edited February 15, 2015 by Panne

[TheDashingRainbow 134]

Yes.. this fandom has completely changed my life. Not only has it made me happier, but it has also made the people that I hang out with happier, as it seemed to have made me a lot more social. It has gave me a bunch of new things to do, such as drawing and collecting. Gave me new music to listen to, and new videos to watch. If I have not ever been introduced into this fandom, I probably would have been 20% more boring/bored and not have met all the friends I have today.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,151]

Of course I'm happy I became a brony. Saying that I was generally happy before hand to, but I feel even more so these days.

 

Really, thanks to the brony community I feel like a have a home on the internet. I've been with fandoms, but most have been fleeting and I never interacted much with others. The only other one that compares for me is the Spyro fandom.

[Odyssey 5,713]

The MLP:FiM fandom has helped me not only become more sociable, but has given me a better outlook on fandoms. Sure, we'll have the typical rabid fan, and even the anti-fans, but to be honest, those sort of people don't affect my views on the fandom at all. Thanks to the livelihood and activity, I can say that I'm glad to be a brony.

[LongGoneGr 1,304]

I wouldn't change it for the world. I am soooo glad I became a brony, and I'm proud to call myself a member of the herd!

[Big_Macincheese 581]

Of course I'm happy I got into MLP, it might not have changed my life as much as it has other peoples but it has made me a bit more happier than I already was and helps me look at the world in a more positive perspective.

[High Step 46]

Well, not so much becoming a Brony/Pegasister, but more that watching the series has expanded my outlook on many things, I have mentioned before I am a philosopher, and in some ways the series has really opened my eyes to new possiblities and expanded on my philosophical, and spiritual understanding.

 

But then I am the type who looks for deeper meanings in everything, for I do believe there is a reason for everything we do, including becoming a Brony/Pegasister.

 

we are all brothers, we are all sisters.

 

In short? I am proud to be a Brony/Pegasister.

[P-Jay 1,987]

knw it sounds cheesy, but the term "friendship" has new meaning.

[Juggerpony 92]

I am. I like the community offered by the group

[Guest]

Of course. I was reluctant to identify as a brony at first, as I don't usually care for such titles, but hey, the show's great, the communities' great, why not call yourself a brony.

[Overlord0909 479]

Yes... I am definitely happy! The show has overtook my favorite spot, and this community and fandom is addicting.

[chirox the pony 1,334]

Well yeah in the sense it got me to a pretty good forum. 

[Venomous 18,813]

I am happy with being a pegasister!

[TheJLeeTeam 914]

FiM really helped my social skills and made me more inspirational. And let me say I got into this show at the right time when I was super annoyed by the gaming industry today. And I actually can appreciate cartoons way more than I used to.

[Overdrive 5,366]

I can't really complain. Apart from the fandom turning me into a compulsive shopper, I'm really happy. I've got great friends in the fandom, as well as a very special person who I hold near and dear to my heart.

[The Awesome One 1,314]

Happy to be a Brony but that is obvious because if I wasn't then I wouldn't be here discussing it with you guys now would I?

 

Yeah the show is great and all and I'm happy that I watch such a good show but just stop it with the MLP made me a better person crap.

[Steel Accord 6,658]

I am the happiest that I could be for having joined this fandom. My life has changed in ways I could never have imagined and all for the better.

 

If I had not become a brony, I would be living a pathetic and sad existence with no job and living with my parents. Because of this show I found my true passion, faith in a Higher Power, and willingness to live happily.

[Nightfall Gloam 18,231]

I am really happy to be a Brony. Not only have I got into quite possibly one of the best shows on modern televison, but I have also met some really nice and accepting people in the fandom, and I cannot wait to go to a Brony meetup/convention near where I live some day.

[Tom Snyder 4,111]

Yes, i am. Before i had no friends and kept to myself, i only had one, but he left me for other things. Now i have my fun telling jokes, sharing stories, you name it. I'm happier than i've ever been.

[MassReflux 12]

Yes, The fandom and show turned me into a better person.

 

If it was not for that, I`d probably be a annoying close minded idiot.

 

Yall changed my life.

[PegaDash1 78]

Of course I'm glad I'm a brony! If I weren't, I'd probably just and up in the furry fandom (which I'm also in now too), or maybe I'd just end up being the stereotypical teenage girl liking 1 direction and other boy bands, which I don't want. So yeah!

[GeekySonic 1,150]

I am very much so happy to be a Brony. Had I not found this show, I can't describe how miserable my life would still be without it. Ever since I became a Brony in October last year, I have:

 

Made dozens of friends

Gotten a job

Stopped blindly hating the LGBT community

Grew a more open mind

Become more physically active

Become more sociable

Become much more overall satisfied with my life

 

Conclusion: Jesus would approve of this show.

[Guest]

 I'm happy that I became a Brony. If I did, I wouldn't be here, I wouldn't have some good friends, I would still be suffering in my old community. Plus, it's awesome! 

[Wolfeus Silverpaw 301]

Yes, it's a wonderful show.

[Not Yellow Diamond 924]

Honestly, I'm conflicted. VERY conflicted, right now I'm not going to say yes or no because if I do I turn my back on someone, somewhere. In addition there are days I love being a brony and days I HATE IT!
