Mugpug 10 May 13, 2018 #1 Share May 13, 2018 So Somtimes I feel that I feel that I am a rare breed, I like all kinds of fan works from derpibooru(no clop) to FiM Fiction, but feel no real affinity for the show itself. I have been in this fandom for 4 years, but have not watched a single episode of MLP FiM, and do not plan on doing so anytime in the future. Is there anyone there who is the same way just so that i can feel a bit less alone. And please be honest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliding Bolt 4,358 May 14, 2018 #2 Share May 14, 2018 I know that @Titans08Mariota doesn’t. He just likes the community. Why is it that you don’t watch the show? Hi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Canterlot 9,603 May 14, 2018 #3 Share May 14, 2018 I'm pretty sure @Stone Cold Steve Tuna doesn't watch the show actively, I do know for sure that he doesn't consider himself to even be a Brony, though I'm not sure if he ever did consider himself to be one at some point or not I watch the show myself all the time, and it's really good! You should consider watching it, there are some super great episodes that your missing out on by not watching the show RA RA RASPUTIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone there who is the same way just so that i can feel a bit less alone. And please be honest Expand I remember after I watched season 4 I stopped watching the actual show and watched more fan work for a year or so. By the time I came back to the show the show was in season 7 and I had a lot to watch. I was kinda glad because it gave me time to appreciate diffferent fanwork while also refreshing myself back to the show and seeing what happened. I don’t understand why one would associate with the community and never actually watch the show. You’re missing out and if you don’t want to watch it then how come you associate with the community? Do you only like fanwork or something? Edited May 14, 2018 by The Whiteraven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyyoshi309 1,829 May 14, 2018 #7 Share May 14, 2018 Wait, how can you not like the show if you have never seen an episode? Also, how exactly can you be part of a fandom, yet not be part of the fandom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,441 May 14, 2018 #8 Share May 14, 2018 (edited) @King of Canterlot I attempted to watch it before. The long and short of it is I fell asleep and didn't wake up for 2 hours. So i got a nice nap out of the deal but not a taste for the show. And no, never considered myself a brony. I'm a full time asshole and that takes precedence.

Celtore 2,770 May 14, 2018 #9 Share May 14, 2018 I eventually did watch the show, but it was the community's passion which attracted me to the fandom to begin with. I loved how prevalent and talented the fandom was, seeing them leaving their imprint in all kinds of media. I don't really watch it anymore though; I kind of fell behind midway through season 4 and I feel that it's a bit late now to try to get back on the wagon. I don't think it's strange at all to be in that position. I got into the Ace Attorney series the same way; animations on newgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash In 22,491 May 14, 2018 #10 Share May 14, 2018 To each their own. I actually only started watching the show because of fan work. At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adachi 772 May 16, 2018 #12 Share May 16, 2018 I used to watch the show, don't really watch it anymore. I should though.

Nightfall Gloam 18,267 May 16, 2018 #15 Share May 16, 2018 I still watch it, but as of this season, I've kind of been losing interest in the show itself, but I still enjoy being part of the fandom, especially on this website, and I still enjoy fan art and works. Sometimes I read the official comics as well, and, admittedly, I think I prefer them over the show. Aspiring animator/illustrator, founder of MLPF's Lighthoof and Shimmy Shake fan club!

I can see why many people have lost their interest towards the show or have never even watched it, but still want to be part of this community. I think it tells lot about the positive atmosphere of said community/fandom/site that people want to be part of it even if they wouldn't consider themself as a fan of the show. That's fine, everypody are welcome. In fact, if this site would only be about colorful small horses, I would have left long time ago. It's you people here that made me stay I haven't been able to watch most of the episodes of the season 8 and I'm maybe slowly starting to lost interest because of this break of mine. I think that I will stick with the show to the end of generation 4 and watch all of the episodes at somepoint thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
