Vulpes 26 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 Easy, the community, everypony I meet, in reality and on the internet, has been wonderful. It's been a social adventure where I meet new people and developed my skills. Some people I already knew, some I didn't, but it's always been a help to expand my horizons. There isn't much to say, bunch of nice people, new conversation topics... Other than the show and art it's one of the three main pros to being a brony, all of which you can have without even being a brony! You can be a non brony and have brony friends, like the show and art, and as long as you don't consider yourself a brony, you aren't! Being that nothing is exclusive is a beautiful part of this fan base, it makes it easy to integrator, acculturate, and assimilate. A reason why our fan-base has grown so well, and stayed for the community. I can't really think of any major cons, it's been all jolly for me. New friends is always great. New entertainment is good. Nothing to complain about! Well, there is the r34 community, giving us a bad name, but heck to it, if people can't understand that's a subculture than good day to them!

Flying Whales 311 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 What I love the most is that for the most part you are all intelligent people, you guys are nice, and caring, and live by the values that the show itself preaches. I’d say we are a pretty ideal community. We help each other, we support each other, we listen to each other. We are free to be ourselves and we aren’t judged for it. Plus all the fan-made content (especially the art and music) are nothing short of incredible, you guys rock!

darkmist 38 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 I enjoy the community there just a great bunch of people, or pony's I should say, always kind, giving advice to other, its a great fandom. I'm just glad that im a part of it. Here's to all the bronys out there, keep it up, and pony on,(or brony on, which ever works for you).

MarkKB 32 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 What I really love is seeing how much this show has changed some people's lives for the better. I've seen a fair few videos on this subject, and read several posts, and they've all been rather touching. Second thing: The user-generated content is almost unbelievably undeniably fantastically [add more superlatives here] awesomesause. Third: most bronies and brony communities that I've seen are really loving and caring for each other, and also a rather fun bunch, it seems! That's fantastic, in my book.

A Blithering Div 247 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 The community is bar none awesome, as many others have stated. Its one of very few communities I know where people are just generally good people. The fan generated content is the dark chocolate drizzle on the already kick ass cheesecake. I usually don't download fan made stuff but some of the Fighting is Magic tracks are too good to pass up, not to mention the numerous wallpapers my desktop cycles through. What's that? There are dedicated sites for this stuff? To say its turned up to 11 is an understatement to the awesomeness. I'm pretty sure the pot snapped in such a way that its just a conductor with a knob on it. I can neither confirm nor deny myself being the cause of electrical related malfunctions. Anyways, you wouldn't happen to have a jar of replacement magic smoke would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nouth 496 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 I love the optimistic effect the show and the fanbase has on me. Before, I was generally a pesimistic person, spending time thinking about how the humankind's going to hell, now, I am still aware of the global problems, yet I am a lot more optimistic in general and don't get annoyed by most things anymore. A Pinkie-syndrome I call it, a great drop in my capabilities of being unhappy with world... So yea, I love how this fanbase and show made me a better person and how I can meet so many great people on the Internet, which is usually a shitstorming sea, except from the few safe bays (one of them being this forum ) Splendid siggy by Chaotic Dischord, awesome avatar by Suntouched Coco!Ask me anything you want !

Azura 1,107 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 I love the show itself, all the fan art and the bronies themselves!

Spring Storm 276 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 I think the thing I love most is how much the show's creators listen to the fans and do things for us. Sometimes, creators of TV shows/ video games/ what have you, barely recognize and sometimes downright ignore what the fans want. But boy, do the show's creators go out of their way to show us love!

Planty 1,053 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 As stated numerous times, the community is very nice. Nice to get away from most A-holes in the world, and talk to nice people.(Though every community has some a-holes) Also all the amazing fanfics, art, etc. this for me to. On the internet this is really the only place people seem to be nice most of the time. it's for reason's like this that i also watch the show (i want to get away from all of that crap they put on TV now which is all about sex, drug's, killing people and disharmony.

Scootaloo_3 0 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 I have a whole group of friends that watch mlp and sometimes we have a Pinkie Pie Party! It's so much fun to hang out with my fellow Bronies and just party like Pinkie! ^-^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~WhiteHawk~ 186 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 Damn, what's not to love? In my opinion, this is one of the best fandoms I've been in for a LONG time. It's nice to be able to talk to bronies and people that have the same interests as me without being bombarded by weaboos and crazed yaoi fangirls clawing each-others' faces off because of some ship. Though I'm still active in other fandoms, I absolutely love how kind and accepting the brony fandom is. I feel at home in here, and I'm glad I can be weird self around other people with out being judged. Not to mention bronies have gotten through so much when it comes to hate. The flame wars on 4Chan, the constant attacks on Youtube and other websites, and yet bronies are still just as kind and accepting as always. Sure, there's always gonna be assholes, but I have yet to find a brony that's like that. I also love the artwork and music the fanbase produces. There are so many talented bronies in this fandom that is absolutely shocked me when I first joined the herd. I figured it would be like any other fandom, a few amazing artists and some okay ones with possibly a few remixes and stuff like that. Oh my god, was I wrong. There is so much talent in this fandom that I can't even BEGIN to describe. I have so much fun in this fandom, why would I not love it? The amazing artwork, the music, the show itself, the amazingly kind fanbase, I love it! I have to say, I am proud to be a brony mainly because I'm proud to be a member of one of the most amazing fanbases I've ever been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven Celestii 9,385 August 29, 2012 Share August 29, 2012 (edited) I really love the content the fandom puts out. The music you see everyday, the writings, and of course the art. Such creativity! I haven't been part of any other fandom so I can't really compare any, but this one is just all around amazing! People are generally nice and cool. No one seems to really be a douche.

Storm Spark 115 August 29, 2012 Share August 29, 2012 I like the fact that there are so many people actually in the brony community that are very sweet and kind! It makes me feel all warm inside and THAT is something that doesn't happen often!

pinkiefan1287 610 August 30, 2012 Share August 30, 2012 There are many things that I like about being a brony.

Aerial~Shot 177 August 30, 2012 Share August 30, 2012 I have been in/am in a LOT of fandoms and this is by far the best I've come acroos. Bronies are so friendly, accepting and fun! It's like you can instantly be friends with someone just by finding out they're also a brony! The community is so widely spread and the work it creates is some of the best I've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regality 233 August 31, 2012 Share August 31, 2012 Personally, the best thing I love about being a Brony is the how we may be reshaping the way people view gender stereotypes. Other than that... ...DEM PONIES! ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilshy 5,090 August 31, 2012 Share August 31, 2012 Honestly, it's this site. MLP Forums is probably the best forum I've ever been a member of. It has it's downsides, but the community here is just so much better than most other sites. I rarely even talk about ponies here anyway. Years after the show is over, if this site is still here, you can bet I'll still be chatting about random stuff with whoever else is still here 1 Signature now 99% less edgy!

MLG4Ever 876 April 6, 2015 Share April 6, 2015 (edited) Senice that "MandoPedo" thing that happend to me and discovering /mlp/ and clop, once my parents found that part of the fandom exist, they deleted all of my social accounts (exept for Skype) and told me that I can't be a part of that fandom and I Tried to convence them that there is a "good" side of the fandom but they didn't believe me and think that the documentaries were all propaganda! Sometimes I regret being a brony but I want to be a part of this fandom so badly just because this fandom is so kind and nicest people I've known!

Snow Frostflame 3,568 April 6, 2015 Share April 6, 2015 da... becoming a brony is probably one of the best choices I have made in my life.... I have accomplished so much in the past 2 and a half years of being a brony.... hell if it wasn't for the fandom I'd probably be dead like I have said before in the past... when my life hit its lowest point ponies and bronies where there for me I will never be ashamed to say I like ponies... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan OGain 112 April 6, 2015 Share April 6, 2015 There's so many great values that the world needs that these ponies express. We need to take rainbows, cupcakes, and the spirit of girls and women more seriously. and this show delivers. We should be proud to show those values. It's never necessary to feel shame for expressing love, especially for something as mundane as a TV show or pop culture property. The community is a diverse group and like any other group, there is an unpleasant minority. You need to be aware they're there. Be safe and smart, but don't focus on that element. Instead focus on what you love and share the elements of harmony. 4 Just so you know, I've got a podcast. I also write stuff, but I've got a podcast... http://bronyquestpodcast.tumblr.com/ https://facebook.com/BronyQuest https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brony-quest-podcast/id974952559 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroSparks 232 April 6, 2015 Share April 6, 2015 Being a brony straight up just makes me happy. You know you're in the right fandom when it's purpose is to make others happy and make friends 4 When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree next to the river of truth, and tell the whole world"No, you move."
