In what way do you break brony stereotypes?

[Kiri 7,288]

The only stereotype I do seem to fit is the fact that I'm "old", as I am 23.

Hmm...that's an interesting perspective. I personally wouldn't consider the early 20's to be considered "old" for being a brony, but that's just based off of what I've noticed during my time in the fandom. I've not seen any survey stats yet.

Yeah, hence the "old" 

But I was thinking more relative to the target audience and the "grown ass menn, watching ponies" stereotype 

On that note, I'm also a male, fitting that stereotype perfectly.

[Script Dangles 231]

I don't try.  I just try and be myself.  If people want to judge me, that's on them. 

Don't fret, I am the oldest current active member here.

 

Also...Sapphire, I have you beaten by almost a decade, dear.

No neckbeard, I stay clean shaven.

 

I'm not overweight. I'm actually underweight because of chronic health problems.

 

I don't clop (I have no problem with others doing it, though)

 

I don't have any pony merch.

 

I don't force the show on people. In fact, you'll have a hard time even getting me to admit to watching it.

Oops, I see now that I misread your post! 

[3Dode 55]

Be physically fit, and don't be annoying.

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

I dont know what a neckbeard is actually, so i cant answer that...but i cut my hair..so i guess, i dont have any beard.

I normally dont talk to much about Mlp and dont even mention it in the real life world.

I dont have any Merch, nor Mlp Posters or anything else in my room, which could be considered Pony like. ( i have all my MLP Stuff in a closet )

I watch a lot of other Stuff, and MLP isnt even one of my favorite Shows at the moment.

 

That would be it. Every other Stereo Type fits, i guess.   Well, im not fat...but thats just because i dont eat that much, i think.    

Because i dont really do any sports.

[Pulse Wave 44]

First of all, I'm WAY too old to be a typical brony, almost 40 years old.

 

I am heterosexual all right.

 

I have my own dwelling-place and a full-time job.

 

I shave every day.

 

I don't wear pony shirts.

 

I actually enjoy dressing up to the nines for the gala ball at GalaCon. So much about being unkempt.

 

I own hats that are much closer to a fedora (have yet to find an actual one) than the trilby which stereotypical and many actual bronies believe to be a fedora. Also, my hats cost enough to supply more than a dozen stereotypical bronies with Wal-Mart cardboard trilbies. I would never wear a trilby.

 

I dislike clop, saucy and gore.

 

I don't try to indoctrinate everyone I meet. In fact, only bronies know that I'm a brony.

 

My best pony is a background pony that many bronies don't even know. My best Mane 6 pony is Rarity, the least popular one.

 

I dislike most of the music made in the last good 20 years, be it electronic or metal or hip-hop or pop or whatever. The electronic music I like is from the 70s and 80s. I almost feel like the only brony who likes neither dubstep nor modern metal.

 

 

Not to mention all the points in which I differ from actual typical bronies.

[Kivil 1,721]

1. I'm a girl

2. I'm not fat, I'm chubby.

3. I'm not a homosexual. I'm BI

4. I'm not a troll

5. I'm not mentally disabled (if crazy is a mental disability then mark that off)

6. I am one of the smartest people I know

7. I don't own all pony things

8. (This one is a bit weird since I can't get a job) I will get a job when I am old enough

9. I'm not a pedofile (I can't be one at my age)

10. I don't fap to pones.

11. I'm no neckbeard. But I do love videogames and anime

[SquipyCheetah 449]

Firstly, I'm a girl and secondly, I'm only fifteen 

[Vulcan 3,254]

I'm pretty athletic

and I frequently attend partiesp.

I also currently have a girlfriend of 2 years and am not a virgin, so that's...something?

[EmeraldSkies 93]

1. I'm a girl.

2. Above average athleticism (nothing super special, but still).

3. I have a pretty large friend group.

4. I'm fourteen.

5. I'm not mentally disabled.

6. Being in the gifted program counts as being 'smart' I guess.

7. Too young to be a pedophile.

8. I only have one pony merch, that's it.

 

So yeah, not really fitting the stereotype here.

[ILikeNightmares 163]

2. I am 19

3. I am quite skinny

4. I am asexual

5. I got 2 pony mercs (1 belongs to my sis)

6. I don't think aviation accepts pedophiles as their workers, if you know what I mean

7. Same goes for mental health, just like above. (just saying, not trying to be smarter than anyone)

8. Clopping?

5.I have lots of pony stuff so maybe not there

6. certainly not a pedophile

[Trixie Heartstrings 434]

I'm a 16 year old male. Even though that's the legal age of consent in most states, there are plenty of states where it's 17 or 18. I don't constantly talk about it, in fact I've never talked about it at school, since it has never been relevant to any conversation I've been in. I don't really care about clop, and I'm unsure about my sexuality, I think I'm either straight or bi.

[RavenholmZombie 1,330]

1. I am male.

I am 20

I'm healthy

I'm not a troll.

I'm straight (single though )

Yes, I do have some pony merch, but I don't spend my entire check on ponies.

I am not a pedophile.

While I do have some mental health issues (anxiety, anger management, etc) I'm stable for the most part.

I will neither confirm nor deny if I clop or not. (I don't feel like being banned or warned today...)

[ninay 24]

I'm actually really into rock, punk, and metal music but I do enjoy EDM and some jazz music. Uh I do party sh*t (if you know what I'm sayin) and idk I just don't look like a brony/ pegasister. I'm also really in the closet about my love for MLP and only like 2 of my friends know lol.

[Izanagi 176]

i'm not one for steroytypes, but sadly in my life i have become rather lazy, and put on a few pounds. although thats not just because i watch horses. mostly because of depression issues i have in the times of me stopping in caring and such. I have a few nicks, like i sdo mostly bottle my emotions and sorta keep to myself and just let people slide, but i do sometimes snap which is somewthing not many people expect from a guy who watches cartoon horses.

[Lisa 5,553]

I'm not a fat, neckbearded, sunlight-fearing, mental potato who lives in their parent's basement with one hand in the bag of Doritos and the other typing "mlp r34" in the Google searchbar.

 

i.e, I'm a fairly average person.

honestly reading that last one, i freely wonder why some bronies care about clop. it's just kinda a thing peeps do. doesn't effect anyone.

[Trottermare Galamane 12,005]

i'm more interested in figuring out why things happen in the show then the show itself i.e what was Chrysalis's plan or if Celestia is the reason why the sun raises how was there a day & night time during the founding of Equestria before the sisters where part of the story?

[Axel 1,059]

1. I'm a dude
