Pegasister or Brony?

[BritishBrony2012 799]

I did this topic before but oh well.

 

I'm a brony. And girls or guys can called themselve what ever they want.

I don't see the point in any of those names. I'll just call myself a MLP fan in general.

Brony, However some people view that as werid and uncommon well if half the U.S.A is in to it then it's not uncommon. I'm a christian brony and im proud.

Names, titles, labels, etc. They're just limitations.

I'm a fan of MLP. I like a show that I see as something *anyone* would like. So why should I give myself a special name for liking it?

 

I'm not sure about the term "brony", because it has negative stereotypes attached to it and is just kind of a corny word.

I think that pegasister sounds better for girls because the word "Brony" is the combination of "Bro" and "Pony" and guys are called bros and not girls, but whatever you want to do is fine. It's fine either way!   (btw, I'm male)

I call myself a brony because pegasister sounds stupid and I like brony more

Personally, I don't really mind that much. I do like pegasister, but I also like brony. I think it's a little silly that we differentiate titles based on gender though, so often I'll use brony.

I think Brony still sounds way more awesome than Pegasister

And the term Brony is way more familiar than Pegasister to non-Bronies If I tell someone I'm a Pegasister they have no idea what I'm talking about. But when I tell them I'm a Brony, they know exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm a male, and I use "brony" because "brony" is the gender- and age-neutral term for fans of FIM. I hate the term "pegasister," because it unnecessarily segregates the fandom based on gender by relying on the sexist "'brony' = 'male fan'" lie.

Well, to be fair, "bro" is a masculine term. A lot of female fans are simply wierded out by the idea of being addressed as a "bro", hence the reason why the term "Pegasister" was created. Obviously, they still classify as members of the Brony fandom, regardless of whatever they call themselves.

I'm most definitely an attack helicopter.

Whilst I prefer the term brony I tend to just try and call myself an MLP fan these days. The term brony is just so cheesy.
