Should I really call myself a "brony"?

There are two questions you need to present to yourself before deciding.
1. Do you like anything to do with the franchise?

2. Do you want to call yourself a brony?

 

This is pretty much it. It's just a title. You can use it if you want, or you can choose not to. It makes no difference either way.

Oh.... ok.... I just think the art is cute. some of the fan art is spectacular. BUT! I find some of the more um... lewd creations are strange to me. not saying it's wrong, but just not my cup of coffee. thanks for the clarification 

 

I didn't even mention the stereotype that all bronies are into clop/Rule 34.

I'm not really a fan of the term myself. I dunno, I just don't like how it sounds :huh: You definitely shouldn't feel obligated to label yourself as any specific thing.

It's your own personal preference.

 

I like to call myself a brony because I personally don't like the term pegasister. Brony is more of a unisex term to me.

 

Yet at the same time calling yourself a brony, at least to me, means you're obsessed with MLP, which I'm not really so much, I'm just a fan.

You can call yourself anything you want. Brony, Whorse, Pegasister, or anything you make up.

I prefer the title "Whonicorn", since I like Doctor who More than mlp, but you don't even need a title. You can just be someone who likes mlp.

 

Also...

 

fixed to be more accurate

 

Doritos = MLG Bloke

 

Cheetos = Neckbeard Brony.

Thanks, and have fun.

A brony is, by definition, an adult/teen fan (usu. male?) of the show and/or franchise, right? So you could call yourself that.

 

But you don't have to actually identify with it. By that I mean, you don't have to wear a T-shirt that says "proud brony" or put "likes MLP:FiM" on your resume, lol. It doesn't have to define you as a person.

 

Besides, there are many other titles you can adopt, depending on your passions and interests. For instance, if you like to play music, call yourself a musician if you really feel that's what you're into.

I say call yourself whatever you want to, if the term "brony" doesn't roll well off your tongue well then just say you're a fan. ^_^

I simply have decided just to call myself a fan. I don't usually like the term "brony" that much. However, I recently came up with my own term for the male fans."Horseman" sounds good.

I call myself a brony, but you don't have to if you don't want to. Although I personally think the fans who use the term brony to mean the extreme are kinda making it worse, since to many people who aren't fans, the term brony means all fans, so that can give the impression that liking MLP by default means you do the extreme things.

You do you boo. I personally think the name Brony is cute and funny so I call myself and other mlp fans bronies, but you can refer to yourself however you want :P

You can call yourself anything you want, really. The name brony carries all kinds of connotations and not all of them are positive, so I can see why you might not want to use it. It's just a label, though, and whether or not you apply it to yourself is all up to you.

I personally dislike the word, but if you want to call yourself that then go ahead.

 

Also if you think that just not calling yourself a brony will remove the bad connotations with liking mlp, then I got some bad news for you.

Call yourself whatever you want, you dont have to do anything.  :wacko:

 

I called myself the first years just Mlp Fan, since i didnt even watched G4 at first and couldnt talk to Bronys anyway, since the majority didnt care about the old Gens or hated them.
