'Brony', a term only for guys?

Even I, the pony who started this debate, did not intend for it to be like this but it was just a question that I wanted a sure answer to so I didn't go around calling the wrong ppl brony, sounding like an idiot. But now I see that it doesn't matter so I thank EVERYPONY for answering this and posting his or her thought or opinion. That's what these forums are for, posting your opinion because I asked for ti thanks! Much love!

 

My comment wasn't actually directed at you, by the way. it was more of a general response. I just quoted that sentence because there's a fair bit of discussion happening and I wanted to go back and answer that specific question.  :P

Perhaps "dude" is better example. Typically it refers to a man, but as far as language goes, it merely means a person, regardless of gender.
 

Okay I agree with that. I was just having trouble understanding why females would rather be called bronies over something specific to their gender, but your example was helpful. P.S. See you on equestria tv again sometime.  :)

It works both ways for me.

 

I mostly use it to describe every fan as a whole, but if I see a preference towards one or the other, I'll use that preference. I don't like making enemies...

I figured darling! But thanks for clarifying either way! :D I like that a simple question sparked a whole debate, and I'm sure I wasn't the first to start it hahaha! But I do like it!

The term 'brony' originated from the fandom's earlier day's, when we where slowly emerging from the mysterious lands we call 4chan. It is known as a fusion of the word board or quite frankly /b/, and our beloved specie pony; so: /b/ony = brony.

 

As for the whole gender specification to the label...Rule 16.


AND THAT'S HOW EQUESTRIA WAS MADE!!!

Basically I'd be fine if a female called herself a brony, but If I where to come to a female who liked MLP i'd refer to them as a Pegasister just as the general thing I refer to them as.

 

But I'd be fine with calling them either depending on what they like, however I don't think the opposite should apply, I think calling a guy a pegasister doesn't make any sense :P.

 

I've heard girls call each other "bros" though, so I don't find calling a girl brony or a girl calling themself a brony weird at all really, I just refer to them as a Pegasister by default. Unless they want to be called otherwise.

i think it is just a preference and if you like being called a pegasister then that's fine but i do believe that brony should stay a term used for the mlp community as a whole and not just for guys. so i will stay calling my self a brony ( as i'm a guy and it wouldn't change anyway) and i will keep calling both male and female watchers bronies and i've always done

I refer to myself as a Brony, while I am obviously a female. I am 19 years old and I have loved MLP since I was a child! And I love this generation of ponies! I have merchandise and art. It's a wonderful thing to be addicted to, really! :P I am proud to be a Brony. Even my friends (who do not watch the show, but they love when I talk about it, they think it's cute lol) call me a Brony. I do not like the way Pegasister sounds. Just my preference. :)


I love love love Pinkie Pie! But every pony rules! :)

my personal opinion is that brony is used for dudes and pegasister is used for women, although youre not necessarily wrong if youre a girl and call yourself a brony, its just that the term brony has bro in it, and i jsut find it weird to call a girl a bro, but thats just me
