While this poll is mainly asking for the females preference guys can answer with what they prefer to call them.

P.S i guess its up to personal preferance

Call them whatever the fuck they want to be called

[Rhythm Red 6,484]

First off, yes, I'm a guy.

 

It just depends on what they want to be called. Some prefer one over the other, and they will tell you if you give them the wrong one. It all comes down to personal preference.

 

I've found that 'Brony' is a safer bet, as it works for both genders anyway. It is the brony fandom after all, and the term 'Bronies' is used to refer to a mixed group of boys and girls. I'm sure that female fans are called Bronies frequently anyway.

 

But once again, personal preference!

Moving to Sugarcube Corner. Please keep in mind that anything brony-related that isn't about the show itself goes there.

Thank you!

Personally, I like Pegasister. The name seems to have fallen out of favor though. Still, Brony denotes male (to me). Brony... Bro (male) that likes My Little Pony. I voted Pegasister!

that doesnt really work... the "sis" in "sister" is made up of the "sus" in "pegasus" cause they sound the same. pegasus + sister. exempt a few letters Pega + Sister or Pegasus + ter ? idefk ITS A PLAY ON WORDS why am I explaining this?...

 

Anywho, the word Unisister would imply Unisis + Sister. Sounds like my morning cup of sci-fi/dystopian tea, but isnt my idea of MLP

No other word really works tbh

Maybe Siscorn? *cringe* maybe not...

Idk. Female here. Personally I prefer brony. If we’re gonna use the bro argument I’m just gonna say I don’t mind being called bro. I call chicks “dudes” when I speak sometimes. 

It’s all up to the person, but that’s my opinion.

Sorry, papa

But Id go with pegasister cuz I find the wordplay entertaining

Brony doesn't work as well

[honk friend 1,978]

Pegasister for me

I think normally I'd prefer "MLP fan" but pegasister just sounds cute.

[Narcissus 354]

I don't like being called a Brony. I'm a Pegasister. I don't like being called a dude or anything that sounds male, no matter how commonly it may be used for all genders. I don't like the idea of a unisex world, the idea is stupid. 

[Lucky Bolt 35,058]

I prefer to call myself a "pegasister" just because the name has an awesome ring to it. Besides, that's what I've been referring to myself as for the past 4 years now.

I get it by now

 I utterly hate the term "Pegasister". Im a female brony, a member of the brony community.

[Cwanky 17,543]

Call them whatever they want to be called. The same should apply to male mlp fans. Hell I don't even call myself a brony. I actually call myself a "bronkey" on account of me being a Cranky Doodle fan.

You can call people brownies or pegasisters if you like, but ultimately its best to let fans define who they are. At the end of the day, we all share a common interest in this show and that's enough for me.
