Parent & Friend Reactions to your Bronyness: Before & After

[KBz 498]

My parents always come in and see what is on my computer, Surprisingly they didn't care if I watched that. Not even my little sister, she like the show too.

[D1SC0RD 987]

They think nothing because they do not know.. HAHAHAHHAHA.

 

I don't think it's going to matter if I tell them or not, so whatever.

 

But if they ever found out, they'd probably be fine with it, but occasionally tease me to make it less awkward for themselves.

[ScottishUnicorn 284]

They take it as a phase I'm going through, I think it's pretty understandable.

My mother walked in while i was on Xbox and my laptop was on the bed. The screensaver of Derppy Whoofs looking at a lava lamp was on. My mother just said 'whats that?' i said 'a pony'. She shrugged and walked off. My parents dont care that much

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

"you watch My Little Pony?"

"yes, i do"

"alright, then"

 

went something like this.

oh yeah, and they've all seen the pilot episode. only my little brother hates the show, which is the only one that has done that.

[FLARE 951]

My dad thinks I have gone crazy.

My mum doesn't know/care.

my sister watched 2 episodes and deemed it bad.

I'm the king, I don't have parents.

I'm not really sure what my parents think of it. I told them because it made it easier on me and it's only been brought up a few times. Whenever we're talking about it the conversation lasts no longer than a minute or two, and I highly doubt they know how large the fanbase really is and how much of the time I spend online is related to it and stuff like that. They don't really seem to care all that much that I watch MLP, but as I mentioned I don't think they really know how much I am into it.

My Mom does not know yet

My dad thinks I am a gay sissy

and my friends eaither are bronies I converted, dont care, or will some times tease me about it

[CoffieBean 1]

My parents are jerks, so that should be quite obvious. Not to mention they are smartasses on everything, so event mentioning a phrase would give it away.

[Fizz. 1,078]

I never tell anyone anything, saying stuff is stupid. But if it comes out one day so be it, I don't have plans on telling anyone and don't care if anyone is told.

[Finesthour 7,284]

They are now completely ok with it.

 

They have bought me so many ponies.

[Skar 324]

Dad had a big argument with me about why watching it and making a big deal about it is retarded. We dad the agree to disagree thing. Mom was like "Why don't you watch Twilight then?" I said "Inless it's a movie about Twilight Sparkle... Everything's wrong with it" (Don't get me wrong, I'm still a guy, and Twilight is still a chick/gay movie).

 

Dad makes fun of me sometimes and mom doesn't care.

 

Not like there going to tell me to stop watching it, I'm more cheerful... lol. (I'm usually not)

[Knight Shadrahk 158]

They don't know. And never will.

[Saiko 67]

Tee-hee, with me being a Pegasister and my little bro loving Ponies because of me, MLP is the only thing the whole family can talk about. Whether they want to or not

[Zacharius The Prosecutor 46]

NO ONE MUST EVER KNOW. O-O

[Indigo 127]

I imagine they'd be fine with me watching the show, at least my Dad would, mother's a little less...open-minded. Sure, they'd already come to terms with me liking anime and gaming...well...at least my Dad xP

 

But to be honest, this is such a mature community, and so much of my interest is not only fuelled by the show, but by fan media, something that neither of them will ever understand. The point is, they'd be fine with me watching the show but fine with the extent of my obsession? (still have to hide my pony sketches) Fine with the 'Brony community'? I doubt it.

[Fura 0]

My parents really don't mind if I'm watching it, probably because they're too focused on other stuff.

[Envy 5,995]

My parents do not know.

 

But my gosh, it's just a cartoon. My parents know I watch cartoons. My mom even bought me an anime DVD a couple of years back. She never worried too much about it, and I frequently bring up cartoons in conversations (only when it's anywhere near relevant I mean) but I have not brought up My Little Pony. I was never into it when I was little.

[Phantom Rapistof Equestria 0]

Hmmmm. Not sure If I'd tell my parents I'm a brony. I guess I don't talk with them about personal stuff as it is, and although I love the show, I don't know if they'd understand.

 

 

So ya. I want to tell them though. I'm just shy anyways. It be complicated.

[Applesmack & Brandy 120]

They're alright with it, my dad has jokingly called me "princess" before, and my mom seems a little bit intrested in the show herself.

[Prince Lightning Da Cute 616]

They know and i tease them about it.

[Queen Cassie 3,057]

My mum knows all the details. My father doesn't. Both of them, however, really like the effects watching the show and the social interaction it has been giving me as a result of new friends made have had on improving my mood and general state of being.

 

So they think positively of it, basically.

[Yellow Diamond 7,561]

I haven't told my dad, though I haven't gone out of my way to hide it from him, either. The worst case, I think, would be that he wouldn't really care. I am rather tempted to suggest that he watch the first two episodes and see if he continues to watch the show. It would be pretty funny and cool---nay, 20% cooler if he decided to become a brony. But I wouldn't want to force it onto him.

 

I'm curious as to how many bronies successfully "converted" their own parents.

[Aureity 3,055]

This basically sums it up...
