Has a non-brony ever stood up for you?

[ggg-2 3,553]

I can't speak from experience, since the only people who know i'm a brony are my family, but has anyone ever been bullied for being a brony and had a non-brony stand up for you and defend you?

Kind of, I guess. There have been a couple instances where I was getting flak for wearing a pony shirt or something, and someone randomly inserted a "I think it's cool," before slipping away.

Sorta, only on YouTube which is ironically the place where I get bashed the most for being a Brony. I have had only a couple of instances where a non-Brony basically said that the hater was a moron for bringing it up when nobody else did. That was pretty fun to read.

Yes, actually. I was feeling somewhat embarrassed about liking MLP one day, but a close friend of mine almost always geeks out over Pokemon, so she understood how I felt, liking something generally meant for a younger audience. She never makes me feel bad about what I enjoy.

[PacificGreen 1,163]

Not really. I rarely ever bring up the fact that I like MLP, and when I do, my friends don't really make fun of me or think any less of me because of it. They may laugh, but it's more a laugh of surprise than a malicious one.

 

Online, I haven't really had any problems with people dissing me for being a brony.

No, but I have been made fun of for it, but it's not like it's going to offend me, so whatever.

Naw everybody rails on me when I mention it, so I turn it into a joke and we trade shots talking smack.

[FluffyGoat13 375]

Not really, no. It's mainly because the people who have given me flak over it either do it jokingly, or get bored when I just shrug it off. Although I have had this one girl who heard some of my friends joking about it come up to me and ask "Are you really a brony?" and when I told her I was she immediately went "Oh my god! You guys are, like, legends of the internet!" I was unsure on how to respond to that.

I personally have not anywhere besides the internet mostly cause I don't really flaunt it so not many people know.

No one has really said anything about my being a Brony, good or bad. I've been attacked for my political beliefs, and other things, but never for being a brony. Of course, I wasn't a brony until college (I graduated in 2010, and found ponies in 2012), and no one bothered in college, people there were pretty pleasant overall, I even knew a couple other bronies (and furries!) there.

 

On the internet, I have not been attacked for being a brony either, although another brony did scream at me on another pony forum once for some stupid reason related to ponies.

I personally have not anywhere besides the internet mostly cause I don't really flaunt it so not many people know.

 

For the most part, that's how I am, if someone asks or brings up ponies, I may speak about it, but I am not really one to advertise my being a brony.
