How open are you about ponies?

[arthurlm5 2]

I don't hide my passion to MLP, I regularly post videos and photos on my social network.

 

My parents are not aware but I ordered shirts  and plush, so it would delay ^^

 

I had several questions of a girl friend, but not more.

 

I say openly  that I am a fan, if anybody asks me.

[Concord 1,982]

It's been some time now, and i'm still in secret about that i like it... i don't believe that i'll be really open any day, the emberasment would be just to much to handle for me :c that's why i even try to stay as anonymous as possible on forums and so on about my real identity...

[Akihiro 90]

I'm completely open about ponies.

I'm not trying to forcibly convert everyone, but I like to tease my friends with ponies.

 

One day, at school, while I was browsing files on my external HDD, someone behind noticed the folder named "My Little Pony Episodes"

He asked me "Is that about pink little horses or something ?" And I just replied "Yeah, totally". Then he just gave a amused laugh and never bothered me later about it .

 

The worst thing to do is to try to explain how MLP is not girly or not about pink singing ponies.

Watching the show, that's the only thing (or, is it ?) that eventually brought us here.

[SongBrony 419]

Surprisingly, pretty darn open about it. I wear shirts to school with ponies on them and in my study hall I watch Eps on my phone. No complaints yet

[Homura Akemi 974]

I wear some pony shirts in public and have attended one convention. I usually don't like to talk about it unless someone brings it up.

[Esk 201]

I've told my close friends, and most of them like ponies as well. My parents tease, but they're not spiteful about it.

But I keep it to myself for the most part, because the people that I'm around daily (junior high school students) can be cruel.

Not all of them, but most who think they're all that. But don't be ashamed of what you enjoy.

[Ember Gleam 167]

I am semi-open but at the same time i have an excuse to watch it cuz of my little niece. But my best friend knows and hes totaly cool with it. 

[WWAPD 126]

I've told a couple friends that I knew were bronies, other than that I try to keep it a secret. But it someone asks, I won't deny it. I'm considering buying a hoody with just Rarity's cutie mark on it, so that only bronies will be able to make the connection.

I have 5 pony shirts and i blast pony music on my ipod everywhere i go. So yeah, i am pretty open about it. Me and my other brony friends are kinda like "The weird kids" at school, but we don't really care

[Graphite 79]

100% open about i

 

i wear my RD shirt to College sometimes, i have a CMC sticker on my car as well as a Brohoof sticker too, Big Mac is on the back of my laptop, Derpy is on my Desktop side pannel, RD is on my Lan PC side pannel, i have over $150 worth of Blind bags on display in my cabinet and finally i have a RD hanging from my mirror in my car

[Sks_Burns 730]

i blast pony music on my ipod everywhere i go.

 

good, i thought i was the only one who did this lol. i love driving around with some dubtrot blaring, getting weird looks from people from all the bass and some squeaky voice singing about making cupcakes. 

[AppleDashFan 36]

I am fairly open with being a brony, i don't go walking around school yelling I LOVE PONIES, but i will admit to it if it goes through convo. Being a brony is nothing to be ashamed about. its like being ashamed of your sexuality. u like something for how it is not what others think of it. (most of the time) so i am 80% open i'e bet.

[alexdehooves 28]

It wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for anoying pre-puberty pseudo-cool pretensious idiots . Ignoring thoose little *very nasty insult* is basicly impossible, they want to piss you of very badly. I am not talking about theyr reaction regarding my little hobby (i've only told my brother yet), no, this is the reaction i get regarding my musical taste (Bowie, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rammstein) These little *well it's not as nasty as the last  insult but still pretty bad* are so anoying and i cant  avoid them they are on the bus i take every day. ...and thats why i am going to whait a little bit with my brony coming out 

[Brony44 22]

I got another person to become a brony today. I am not open at school, but everywhere else I am. This kids brother was already a brony, and consequently always called his brother gay. Now he watches it. :3

[Jeddaven 42]

People think I'm a freak because I play a number of videogames in moderation and because I like Star Trek.

 

Yeah, I wish I could be open, but no.

[Mortimer 332]

I wasn't really that open at the beginning, and i'm still not that open. Only my grandma, my mom and my best friend. I used to watch it with headphones when people were on the loose around the house, but now i watch it every time.

 

Nobody in my class knows, just my buddy, because people tend to be cruel about it.

[Shade 2]

I walk proud with my vinyl jacket and derpy shirt and never let the haters take me down and yeah all my friends know, lost some but they know and im bucking proud!

[EnderBrony 26]

Kinda funny that my parents don't really know about my bronydom but my friends can't shut me up about ponies. I guess I'm kind of afraid my parents might think I'm gay or something

[MulberrySprig 4]

Super open. Shirts, swag, attempting to share with each of my non brony friends, very very very open. I also work in a toy store and attempt to talk about and educate customers on the phenomena!

[Sks_Burns 730]

its getting easier for me as i get more involved in the community. im less timid about buying toys in stores, but i still dont talk about it with those i dont feel are interested. i dont hide my pony love, but i dont bring it up unless someone else does. 

 

its nothing to be ashamed of, you all are going to like what you like, so dont be afraid to enjoy something just because others might not approve of it. 

[Swick (ded) 436]

I have pretty much the same situation as EnderBrony up there. Everybody at school knows it, heck, I play Fighting is Magic against my non-brony friends at lunch, with a group crowded around, watching us. Yet my relatives know nothing about this... Though I am planning on telling sometime soon. I'm still trying to figure out how to get a shirt.

[Lightning Bristle 33]

I only say I'm a brony if other people say they are, too. I don't want to hide that I'm a brony, but I'm too scared to tell anyone.   I'm thinking of getting a t-shirt soon, though. Anyone know how to help me to be more confident? I'm not a naturally confident person. :/

[crazitaco 596]

Kinda open about it, but i don't bring it into conversation unless someone asks about it. The other day, my mom questioned who had recorded my little pony on our tv. I didn't say anything other than for her not to delete it. and the other day i was watching a video that had the word brony in the title. my mom asked what a brony is, and i just flat out ignored her, cause i didn't feel like explaining it to her. Also, i got a rarity sitting near my desktop. My sister has a friend who likes MLP and now since she's noticed that i like it too, she's considering watching it HELL YEAHHHH PEGASISTERS

i just wish that more of my friends liked it they know it exists but they don't watch it.

of course, i'm also a girl, so its a little bit easier for me to be open about pony.

...and in the end my artistic masterpieces are revered but seem to come out of nowhere.

Dude that's beautiful. (see what i did thar?)

 

back on topic:

 

Ponies don't come up at work; why would they? It doesn't come up when I'm with my friends, none of them are in to it (and most of them are the same guys from work). I've shown my one friend an SFM project I did that had the Twilight model in it. Those things can be kinda creepy though, I guess, unless you're used to 'em.

 

He was like "a pony, eh? huh." So I told him "the name is Twilight Sparkle, b****."  We had a laugh and it hasn't come up again since.

 

It would be nice to actually know a brony or two irl but I don't feel any need to share my fandom with non-fans, especially when it can cause such bizarre controversy. Seemingly otherwise sensible people can react in a completely irrational way. No need to stir the pot, right?

 

Then again, I want a Luna shirt!
