A question for female bronies

[fluffpudge 148]

Hehe I consider them to be bronies, though I'm a bit biased seeing as I'm a girl myself!

I just don't understand the need for a separate term for female fans of the show. While I respect those who choose to use it, I just personally don't like it and would rather be called a brony. c:

[GrooveBroove 682]

I always liked the term Pegasistersfor female fans, but personallY I feel anyone who likes MLP:FiM whether boy or girl is a "brony".

Since MLP:FiM is just so radically different than the previous series'. Which in my book labels all the fans in the same boat.

Hey fellow female brony! I've loved the show for 3 years, watched all the episodes and have started converting my school friends to join the herd and if that doesnt make me a good MLP fan then what does? I myself believe female bronies dont only exist but should be equal to the steryotype bronies. I usually use the term pegasister instead of brony though.

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

I refer to myself as brony. I've never caught myself saying "pegasister" before, I don't think.

There's TONS of girls. Why wouldn't there be?

[Just some guy 1,070]

As a manly manly dude of manliness,I 100% consider females/transgenders/people with none of the goods/males to be bronies.Don't see any real reason as to why we should seperate the fandom by gender.

[Zygen 6,066]

Well I normally at first refer to girl fans as Pegasisters, I don't really have anything against calling Girl fans bronies though, I just need to be told their preference really.

 

I find most girls would rather just be called brony, and I can't blame them seeing as I don't really like the term Pegasister much, even if I am a guy. It just sounds strange idk. Doesn't ring as well as brony I guess.

 

Whatever they prefer is fine, I call them Pegasisters normally until told otherwise though, just outta habit.

 

Girls can be just as brony as guys though, no rules I heard of against that.

Yes I too never use the term pegasister either but thats nice to know how you guys feel. I dont really showit that much because im afraid that people will make fun of me because im made fun of already with my darn hair. but i really like to come home to netflix to wtc it arter an exhausting day at school.

[Azure Flames 303]

i say if girl want to be called bronies then let them i see no problem in that 

there no reason to have a name for each gender of the fandom

we're all fan so we should just have one name fandom right

[Melody 6]

So you know how it all starts? You becoming a bronie and all. For me I was baby sitting a pair of girls who were watching MLP and I was just right then and there memorized. Then when the girls went to bed I sneaked a peak of  part 2 episode of the first season. I didn't really start watching it alot, but totally started  doodleing MLP's at every chance i got.  Then I  watched the episodes on Netflix and now im a bronie. (the shy kind) '_'

Brony is an exclusive male only club and to allow an female into the ranks would completely and utterly destroy the fabric of who am I kidding I don't actually care I don't even call myself a brony

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,178]

Definition of Brony: A male between the ages of 13 and 35 years who genuenly like the show "My Little Pony Freindship is Magic"

 

Definition of a girl who likes "My Little Pony Freindship is Magic": A girl who likes "My Little Pony Freindship is Magic"

 

No, girls are not bronies, but i shall dub them now Hoenies. Have a nice day

[poniesforfun 716]

You are whatever you call yourself in regards to watching MLP. I don't see why people have to call themselves bronies in the first place they can just like the show. Such a thing is uncommon in fanbases. I can only think of Trekkies as another fanbase that gives themselves a title.

 

[Blizzard Gale 272]

It all depends on how you wish to be presented in the community. I know some girls like to be prefered as a Pegasister. Me myself being a woman, I don't mind being labeled a Brony. I don't want to be labeled with a special name just because of my gender. In a sense, everyone here at heart is a brony no matter the cost. Some girls prefer pegasister because they claim it to be "sexist" when girls aren't "Recognized" as a part of the fandom.

Think of it as the word "Man-Kind." It revolves both woman and man.

[Sir.Flutter Hooves 2,953]

Of course girls should be Bronies. Pegasisters was a word made up to separate the girls.

 

I believe that the girl part of the fandom is as important as the male part. Hey, without girls this show would not even be going!

Honestly, the person that got me into ponies in the first place, was a girl. It doesn't surprise me that there are girls apart of the fandom. It seems to me that there aren't that many girls that go out in public that say they like mlp. And for all the guys out there that I KNOW are looking for girlfriends that are bronies. That's a tough one. They are probably the most scarce of the fandom. So I say we embrace pegasisters and maybe do a little converting for more girls over to it

I call them Pegasisters because Brony equals "bro" + "pony", and girls aren't "bros". Simple as that in my mind.

 

It just is jarring to my ear, way more jarring than something slight, like using the term "actor" for actresses (which can also leads to funny things, like an obituary of Carlo Ponti saying he was "a man with an eye for pretty actors").

I totally consider us girls bronies! I mean just because the show was intended for girls doesn't mean us teenage girls/adults can't love it too!

[cuteycindyhoney 13,345]

Personally, I always liked the monicker Pegasister, but it seems to be steadily falling farther out of favor. Brony is acceptable as the all encompassing term for adult fans though. Think of it as Human meaning both man and woman, even though it has MAN in it.

 

quack-quack-quack...

 

Please pardon my fowl language!

Most male bronies will say that only they are bronies.

But most girls like me will agree that a brony is anypony over 13 that loves MLP.

Its my opinion that this matter needs to be settled so i offer these questions.

Is a girl a brony?

Shouldn't everypony get to decide for themselves what they are?

[AegisReflector 887]

I always thought that Bronies was a culture of older audiences who enjoy the show, not just specifically to a male audience. I think the term is generally applied to everyone because "pegasister" doesn't sound as catchy.

 

Also, it might just be me, but does anybody else feel that the "classes" of Bronies that fans proclaim themselves to be are just stupid? If you watch the show and enjoy it, I think that person is a Brony. They don't have to buy merchandise or ship the hell out of their favorite characters to be a hardcore fan.

[Betez 1,735]

It's been talked about many times. I consider girls to be Bronies. However, if some of them prefer "Pegasisters", I'll call them that.

[Loriem 639]

I hate the word brony. I hate it. I have NEVER used it to describe myself to someone who doesn't watch the show. 

 

But if someone wants to call themselves a brony, what the hay if I care.

[Flicker Sweet 3,391]

In my opinion, you are only a Brony if you say that you're a Brony.  Another person can label you all they want, but if you don't acknowledge it, then it is meaningless.

[Argumedies 1,749]

I've never had a problem with it. I've always been under the impression that a brony is anyone who likes this show and or gets involved with activities such as this regardless of age or gender.

 

In fact, i kind of find it silly that a bunch of guys enjoy a show for girls and I'm one of them lol

 

Its like watching a bunch of kids playing in a sand box and the boys took all the toys and cried no girls allowed

[MJNSEIFER 55]

A brony is someone who is a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, with the possible addition of the other gens.  They can be boys, girls, children, adults.  The only thing stopping them is if they don't like the label.
