Finesthour 7,287 November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 I am going with pegasister. Brony just seems more manly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viscra Maelstrom 3,718 November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 I've always been under the impression that the term "brony" is gender-neutral and refers to both male and female fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. There's a lot of arguments going on whether or not female fans should be called something else, though. Personally, I think "brony" is just as acceptable a term for fans of the show as say, trekkies are for Star Trex fans.

Cookie 28 November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 From a female perspective, I kind of like Pegasister. I am kind of a girly girl, and the term brony seems a bit masculine for my tastes. I don't mind if bronies want to call me a brony though, it's not that big of a deal. It's just nice to be a part of the herd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Rarity Pony 4,892 November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 (edited) eww, females watch My Little Pony?! I do not like the sight of "Pegasister" I think simply Pegasis is better.

Fghik 360 November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 I don't even call Bronies, "Bronies..." It just sounds....um... Like an excuse for a flame/troll war to open up. I'm not much of one for conflict...I'll kill somepony, or dominate an argument if I have to... But I'd rather not. Instead I just say "fans of my little pony" or something else along those lines. Keeps people from "freaking out" as much. 1 But what do I know? I'm just a stupid kid. ҉ .Eternal ¸.•'´¯Chaos¯´'•.¸Comes¸.•'´¯With¯´'•.¸Chocolate¸.•'´¯Rain ҉ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klopp 2,050 November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 I don't think the term Pegasister is appropriate really, because what if she would rather be a unicorn, or an earth pony? I also don't think "Brony" is all that fitting for them either. We need an appropriate nice happy epic word that the females will love 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacBurner 6 November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 Brony, to me, says brother pony. I find it more of a male term... But thats just my thoughts. May the bridges I burn light the way. -Anon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colon Leftbracket 971 November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 Well I'm going with the argument of Brony meaning "Bro" + "Pony" and Bro is male defined. Not that I'm going to Grammar Nazi someone for calling a female a Brony, but I think it's silly to call a girl your brother! I don't like the term Pegasister that much either since it just looks funny. Bronette is just silly. I guess I'd say Filly. 1 [New siggy in progress!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envy 6,162 November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 I don't see how in the world "brony" could be gender neutral. As was stated by Colton Manestache, "Brony" is the combination of "Bro" (shortened version of brother, meaning male sibling) and "Pony". There's nothing gender neutral about that, I'm sorry. "Pegasis" might actually be the best one because like "Brony" the words fit perfectly together, but I don't think I'd call myself that. I just enjoy My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I'm not that obsessed with it. lol Everything needs more woodwind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krall 263 November 19, 2011 Share November 19, 2011 "Brony" is not a gender neutral term and should not be used in order to refer to the entire MLP fandom. I generally use "Pegasister" when I specifically need to refer to female pony fans, but generally I just say "pony fans", as that is entirely gender neutral and so encompasses male, female and genderqueer members of the fandom.

By that logic, it is, in fact, a gender-neutral term. 1 Avatar credit: robinrain8 Signature credit: Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
