Considering the behavior of some of the musicians in the fandom you probably did nothing wrong.

I've never been to a convention. But I would have loved to have gone to one. But I wouldn't really like to go alone. Would love to enjoy the experience in the company of a friend or something.

Went to my first MLP con last year with Ponyville Ciderfest last year and it was a lot of fun. Last few years I've been going to cons a lot more

Oh my god! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[Iforgotmybrain 8,244]

Sadly never been. I was too young (read, broke) to go to cons when the fandom was at its peak. Now, they aren't really as big. Though I'm pretty close to TrotCon which seems to be doing alright still, so maybe I'll check it out one of these days.

I went to Harmonycon earlier this year, wish I could have gone to Trotcon too but flights are expensive. I just wish I was better able to talk to others, I am so socially anxious and nervous it depresses me a lot.

The only convention that I've been to is the Comic Con! I've got there two times! I can remember the first time as one of the best day of my life! This memory is very precious to me and I hope to keep it forever next to the one where I made my first step in the MLPF community!

No because they're never in my area. Not only that, but it's a bit pricy and I wouldn't feel comfortable in the crowds due to social anxiety, plus it would be awkward for me unless I had others to go with.

[Antiyonder 1,825]

Never been to any con really.

[Paleopony 751]

I’ve never been to any kind of con before and I’d like to go but unfortunately there are none close to me and some of the closer ones shut down. 

[Raskolnikov 1,756]

Never been to a con myself either and not sure I'd want to attend but I do appreciate the fact that it is relatively easier for me to attend one, I do feel concerned when a lot of subcultures of all kinds are limited to the west... we tend to take that kind of thing for granted.

[Snoopy Fan 17,865]

I’ve never been to one

[Do svidaniya 2,090]

Nah though apparently one happens in Spring in a neighbouring city. Maybe I will, maybe I won't.

We have the money. it's just  My parents don't want to waste the money on one person.

[KPackratt 1,771]

I've been to Everfree Northwest for several years now (2015-18 and 2024) since it's local to me, I'd like to go again later this year.

[Paleopony 751]

I’ve never been to an MLP con before but I’m going to Everfree Northwest this year. I’m super excited!

[DubWolf 20,687]

Considered going to a local one in my city a while back. Ended up not going, as I was very much still in the closet about it and really don't feel like doing the whole "I'm going out somewhere" explanation...

[Sparklefan1234 189,173]

They have pony conventions?  So, @Denim&Venöm isn't just taking random pictures of his OC eating pancakes a few months a year? 

[ExplosionMare 28,944]

When they were more common, I wanted to go but I felt like I was too young, especially since I figured a lot of older males would be there. Nowadays, I probably could go to one but I'd have to convince someone IRL to go and I'm not sure if anyone I know IRL would be that dedicated to a con. Con's are rather expensive, anyhow.

[MLP Golden Breezie 1,509]

Unfortunately, I too was unable to attend the MLP conventions because I live very far away on the other side of the world and therefore cannot physically go.
