How open about being a brony are you?

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

Not very at all. I'm a closet brony and no-one I know in my area watches it.

[frenchie1995 73]

I am very open about my love of ponies. My friends (all 6 of them) all know and it was actually one of those friends who showed me mlp for the first time, so I am able to talk about it whenever I want and they all know basic references. I am constantly talking about it at work because people love to make fun of me for it, not that it bothers me, and so I always try to convince them of the wonders of the show. My family is mostly pretty closed minded about a lot of things and ponies are no exceptions, but that doesn't stop me from displaying all of my plushies and figurines. As far as wearing pony merch, I always have my lanyard out for people to see, I have Big Mac's cute mark on my gas tank cover of my red car, and I don't have too many shirts but they are normally the first shirts worn after laundry day. I have no shame when it comes to the ponies and a lot of that is because of the Black Gryph0n song called "Proud to be a Brony". I would definetly give it a listen for any who haven't heard it and need help fealing pride about your brony self!

[Rarity Is Best Pony 634]

Do your friends know?

 

I don't have any IRL friends so.... As for my online friends I don't hide my love of ponies

 

Do you talk about it around people?

 

I talk about it with my little cousin who watches the show with me.

I also talk to her dad about it as he is a passive fan who just loves to give out brohoofs.

 

Would you wear MLP clothing around people?

 

I own quite a few different pony shirts that I wear no matter the occasion.

[Nintenboy195 384]

I'm so open. I'm also what some may call a recruiter. I always try to bring someone new. Sometimes I dont succeed, but I've gotton quite a few in. telling them how great the fans and show are.Also, I dont make it that secretive, I mean, i own shirts, guests see my collection, its great!

[Countess Coloratura 204]

Very open. I dont really care how people see it. Being a brony is great, and if I want to express myself and show my love and support I will. I wouldnt judge anyone else on their likes.  
I say be who you wanna be, if people dont like it well, too bad on their part. :3 

I even have several mlp tattoos, because its not that I love the show as much as wanting tattoos. Its because the show openedup an all new world for me, and I met some amazing people that I am greatful for and greatful to call friends. I find being a brony on my part more like a blessing. It helped me through hard times, and to know I have supportive friends to be there is great. And I return the favor, if they need someone I'll be there too.  

So brony on I say! /) 

[CosmicSpark 2,120]

I am very open about being a brony, but I do watch who I talk to about the show. I wear pony shirts around my house and even when I go out I am very active at meets bringing plushies

[Willow 1,008]

I'm only open about it when I know I won't be judged about it; I had to deal with enough of that from my family and so-called "friends" when I came out as a brony to them two years ago. I still haven't told my bet friend; normally, I would have told them, as I've pretty much shared my whole life with her. But, I don't know how she'd react to that.

[GiFTGewEhrSCHutzen-4 8,828]

Well, from where I live, I guess they don't mind, I mean I even admitted to theme that I watch 'My little pony: Friendship is Magic', and they were like meh, even not shocked about a 32 year old dude liking a franchise aimed towards girls. Hell, I watch or follow any franchise aimed for girls apart from MLP-FIM like Monster High, Ever After High, Winx Club, Descendents: Wicked World, etc.

[NOX33 184]

I'm not exactly open, but my friends know that I'm a brony. I don't wanna be that guy so usually I would just keep my mouth shut about MLP stuff unless the topic comes up then I could talk for days about it. As for my family I'm still keeping it a secret from them.

[TwilightAngel 109]

How open about being a brony are you? This is a show for gods sake!

[SkyBurner's_Legion 63]

Probably a secret that I will take to my grave. If not I may only share it with the person who indirectly introduced me to the show.

[Fawkes The Phoenix 737]

Well my family and some friends know, and if you ask it I won't deny it. However, I don't have merchandise or wear MLP clothing, but thats because I don't usually buy that kind of stuff.

[Floofie 799]

Why should I be open about it? It's not like other people need to know. I don't talk about the show or wear MLP related clothing around others. And even if I wanted to, I don't own any MLP merch of any kind, so I couldn't. But if one of my friends were to ask me about it (which will likely never happen), I probably wouldn't deny it.

[alpinefroggy 451]

I wear mlp stuff, talk about it openly and just about everyone that pays attention knows. Yeah I am open if you ask

[Kafooku 156]

Yeah, at first I only watched MLP in the dead of night, making sure that no one noticed, and I kept volume low, and jumped at every sound, as if the whole family would charge into my room. I watched it on our IPad, but I forgot to delete the history...

After a few days my sister was doing something on the IPad, and she asked me, "Frosty, why does 'My Little Pony' pop up when I type in the 'M'?"

I blushed heavily, and told her that that was because I watched that.

She told me I was a loser, and to go get a life.

She isn't hating as much now, but she still doesn't like it much.

 

 

Dude, harsh sister. 

 

I'll talk about it if someone else does. I live in a fairly "open" environment at School/other places, so I see no reason to hide it.

[Magic Rasin 180]

  I'm not very open about it, but I don't really try to hide it that much. For instance, I do draw ponies in school, but if someone asked what I was drawing I'd just say "A pony". The most merch that I'd wear would be a pin and maybe a necklace. My parents know and I'm pretty sure my friends know, but neither of them really care.

[mccuish1525 55]

I'm not very open about being a brony, but my friends do know and I do wear mlp t-shirts around them. I only have 2 friends that I can talk about the show around and they don't even say anything about it. This is the friend that convinced me to buy the rainbow dash t-shirt at a convention.

[Edgeworth1001 648]

I'm quite open with my liking for the show. I only bring it up when the conversation calls for it like "Is that a shirt of Twilight Sparkle," "Did you see the new episode," or my personal favorite "Is your favorite ponies Spike and Applejack?"

[Trixie Heartstrings 434]

I've worn pony shirts from time to time, usually at conventions and sometimes when I'm somewhere else, but never at school. The area I live in is pretty judgmental, and is small enough that it's common for me to run into the same people each day whenever I leave the house. If someone were to ask, I'd probably be honest about it, but I don't want to be one of those bronies that never shuts up about the show, so I won't mention it when it's not relevant to the conversation. I'm thinking of putting a Vinyl Scratch cutie mark pin on my backpack since it's the most subtle piece of pony merch that I have, since it's a black eighth note on white background.

Update to my previous post:
I am open to everyone about being a brony. I couldn't take it anymore, so I got a Brony hat and wore it out in public. A few a*sholes tried to "inform" me that the show was actually for children. Unfortunately for them, I was in somewhat of a bad mood today, so they got the brunt of my negative mood. I'm not completely sure, but I think one guy got a nose bleed because I mentally broke him... But maybe it was just coincidence... I don't know.

Side note: The 'public' area I am referring to, is Milwaukee, WI. So a decent amount of people saw me, I think.

[Lonk Chase 255]

I don't even have a Twilight Sparkle plush.

I don't want one.

[SilyGeny 369]

Yes, yes and yes

 

I'm more open on being a brony than being gay, it's kinda odd don't you think?

[best poni 1,521]

I honestly don't give a flying feather (ha ha references  ) about what other people think of me. I'm very open about being a Brony. 

[PinkiePie97 913]

I'd say I'm pretty open about it. I have 3 MLP shirts that I'll wear anywhere, and I don't have a problem talking about MLP if it comes up.

[Wicked Funky 2,955]

Won't go screaming about it, but if someone asks I'll tell them.
