Brony population

[Zacharius The Prosecutor 46]

I dunno.

 

But what i DO know is 12% of bronies are from britain.

[Groo 252]

about 300,000. May seem big on the internet but IRL it probably is smaller. Doubt its a million

[Envoy-in-exile 101]

So I first got into ponies because I was curious about what made so many people like it. Now I think I've cracked it:

- QUALITY: which is unusual for cartoons targeted at younger demographics. There are so many references, and adult issues appearing in the show; but not elaborated on because it's a children's show which leaves the

- COMMUNITY: to do it's own interpretations - fanfics, memes, videos, songs, parodies, discussions about the

- CUTE PONIES: MLP incorporates a lot of what makes anime so popular. Just look at the character design and....Fluttershy's personality. This all done without turning it into an anime, or referencing anything Japanese. In fact, the artwork surpasses a lot of top notch anime

News from Moscow

 

Theater at 3,000 bronys now in Russia.

 

LOL

[Fox 5,330]

I think we should over saturate our communites with bronies.

[Daring Do 195]

Yeah, the population ratio seems pretty much bent towards males, as much as the average person would object.

 

As for how many? I believe there is a reason why My Little Pony extended to different countries. I would have to guess....

50,000 to 500,000 ponies.

[JhonHipster 124]

hmmmm well, considering there are around 12,000 veiws on a single vid for each episode on you tube, then almost 5 others with only around 1,000, i think your over guessing, especially considering many bronies sometimes re watch episodes, then again the number of bronies watching mlp on HBO is unknown, i would speculate around 300,000

[GrooveBroove 680]

I'm sure it's decent enough.

[Shadowed Watcher 183]

I believe, deep down, EVERYONE has some Brony in them.

[Jokuc 8,172]

It would be cool to know the EXACT number of bronies in the world

[Eenohay 318]

this forum has like 150000 users, doesn't it?

 

Well I'm gonna think and calculate the number of people over 12 years old who watch the show enough to consider themselves fans of it.

 

Hmmmm... 1,251,337 give or take

[Shadow Stallion 435]

I say around 30,000. Hopefully I am WAY below the actual number. xD

Don't worry. You must certainly are

[Marcusaralius76 150]

If the show has around 4 million viewers per episode, and 63% of them are currently above the age of 16, (I forgot where these statistics came from, but I know it was from a reliable source), then that means there are around 2.5 million Bronys and Pegasisters. At my school, there are around 200 bronies, that's 1/10th the school's population.

[ThePlantsOfDistraction 56]

Well it's a big school. Fads spread like wildfire.

I was recently on youtube looking up winter wrap up, when I noticed that after the word "winter," it was already at the top of the suggestions.

Now I knew that the brony community was large, but this surprised me. Just how large is the brony community?

[Robojot 152]

i'm not sure of how big it is, but its begging to be one of the larger sub cultures on the internet i think

[Faithful Dawn 8]

Beyond your imagination, MLP has taken over the internet. This growing community is far from over. Expect worldwide community~

[ScottishUnicorn 284]

[Jadefire 2,796]

We are legion.

 

But in a good way.

[Ra1nbowCrasH 271]

My estimate would be around 1.5- 2 million (give or take a few thousand) in America alone. To arrive at this I looked at the 2010 census data. Because the age groups weren't divided by gender, I had to total up the general brony age group ( I used between the ages 12-29 because after that it would have been too wide) and divide by 2 to account for the difference between boys and girls. My estimate was about 5% of the age group based on how many bronies there are at the all-boys school I attend.

 

I apologize for the length of my explanation.

While it sounds reasonable, you did not account for the town-to-town differences between many places. Your school might be skewed for, while the number is actually much smaller. But it might be that you are in a bad situation and there are far more.

[Victoria and Co. 782]

Let's find out!

 

1...2...3...

 

*more bronies appear*

 

 

The world may never know!
