How open are you about ponies?

Recommended Posts

I used to hide it way too well.  But the last maybe 4-6 months.  I haven't given the slightest care who knows.  People ask, I tell; I see someone with merchandise, I strike a conversation.  I hope after this Christmas I have some sweet new merchandise to wear around so I can proclaim to the world my lack of care. 

 

I slightly would say I am challenging people's thoughts.  Seeing what they do.  But I, for one, will not shove it down people's throats like a few bronies I have seen.  You know the ones.  They are all over youtube making videos about how they go into public and start talking to strangers who didn't really want to know about it.  They sing loudly and usually can't sing properly, just to be obnoxious.  That is the thing I won't be open to being. 

Tl;dr: If you want to know, I'll tell you, if you don't, I'll leave you alone.  Simple as that.

What I mean by this, is do you openly tell people that you're a brony? Or are you one of those that are afraid (no problem with it, just wondering). I'm semi-open/closed. I tell certain people. So what about you ponies. Are you Open or closed?

I am a tad in the middle, I don't care what people think and if someone asked I would tell the truth but I don't see any reason to go out of my way to tell anyone. But if someone wishes to be more open I suppose that is their prerogative, but it is nice to have a place where you can shout to the rooftops and this forum does the job quite nicely for me.

I've told my family I watch it. My parents don't mind, my brother might have been converted, and my sister doesn't care. I've told quite a few of my friends online from other fandoms, mostly Maplestory/Minecraft friends.

 

I don't outright say "I watch My Little Pony", to people at school, but I do use a lot of references, trying to find the bronies out of the non-bronies. When my next school term begins I plan to send a mass e-mail to my year saying "Your inbox just got 20% cooler" to try and find somepony who recognises it.

I don't publicly go around telling people I like MLP:FiM. If someone asks, I well say sure I enjoy the show. That is it. I don't overly show myself, but I don't completely hide it.

Great to see I'm not the only one. My Little Pony is considered homo in my city. Homo's would get beat, so I'm not going to stand my ground for a show, even if it's like my favorite.

I've never gone out of my way to tell someone that I'm a Brony, but I won't hesitate to talk about it if someone else begins the conversation. It usually works out pretty well for me. No one really seems to care that I'm a Brony, a fact of which I'm thankful. The only person who ever really mentions it is my youth group leader, who calls me "pony boy". He's just joking around though, so it doesn't bother me. (Although, even if he called me a "ponyfucker" I doubt it would bother me...)


how even is otter and how can it be if

I don't see any reason why I should hide it. I was embarrassed the first day, but then i just stopped caring. I've never walked up to somepony and said "hey, i watch my little pony. what's up?", but i don't hide it. All my friends knows that i watch it, and they are all okay with that

I pretty open about my Bronyism. I've walked around the college wearing my Pony shirts and I have a rainbow dash pony in my studio space at school. I don't however push the fact I'm a brony on people. I just casually show it.

Pretty much in between.  I can tell some and have gone quite a long way with telling the ones I've told! But not so far as to buy any merchandise in front of anyone or tell anyone what I want if it's MLP related.  Which is sad because I do like/want some of the stuff but I get so nervous, having to ask and such...or buy it so someone can see.  It's not really toward friends, it's more of a 'family' thing.  Although my brothers know, in the very least.  Yeah... Mid, I think.  I'm almost there, though! ^^

You shouldn't be nervous! I seriously doubt that your family will bully you for watching a TV show. I mean, prepare for a smile or a giggle from them, but i doubt it will be anything serious!

Pretty much everyone knows I'm a brony. Mostly because I wear pony shirts, and reference ponies a lot in my everyday life. I dont go around telling people. Only if they ask, or else they will figure it out on their own.


Signature? Naw. Thats too mane stream.

Your topic, 'Are you an open brony?' has been merged with 'How open are you about ponies?' so that they are now one in the same topic. They both ask the same sort of question, in that how open are you about your fandom of MLP:FiM.

Alright. Sorry, didn't know that this thread was here. Next time I'll poke around before I make a thread, but the search is kind of weird on this board.

I wear a rainbow dash hoodie every day now! I also have multiple pony shirts, and I discuss the show openly with anyone. So, yeah, I guess I'm pretty open about it now, athough before I joined the forums only my 2 best friends knew xD

Well so far, I only told one friend about it. Not really ready to open up about it, cause when I tell more friends at school. They will just simply laugh at me.

How do you know that if you haven't tried?

The ABSOLUTE WORST thing i've got (from a friend) was a smile. True friends won't care about it.

Well I guess I'll try.

But my friends will give a bad response, I'd rather not say.

I'll take your word for it, as a tip of course.

Thanks :D

I'm not trying to force you into anything, i'm just saying that it's probably worse in your head :)

 

and i do not recommend you to walk up to your friends and say "i watch My Little Pony", because that might cause an odd moment of silence. Just be casual about it, and tell the truth if they ask ;)

If asked. I give the answer. I guess I'm pretty open, I wear a pony shirt occasionally, but not many people tend to see it because it's so danged cold in our high-school building that you need to be wearing a jacket or two.

I'm not ashamed to be a Brony in the slightest, but I usually only divulge the information if somepony asks or I see that they're a Brony too. Too many people tend to think you're magically instantly gay if you like MLP.
