TheMarkz0ne 962 January 22, 2013 Share January 22, 2013 (edited) I recently got into the show on netflix. Almost finished with season 2 and will watch season 3 on youtube. But this is something never thought I would get into. I often made fun of bronies for liking the show. But now that I have seen the show I love it. The characters are complex and deep for a kids show. I relate mostly to Rainbow Dash by the way. My parents found out about my brony side when I got back from the mall and I bought a brony shirt and vinyl rainbow dash doll from hot topic. My parents stared at me awkwardly and even my brother did the same thing. They seemed really upset over it. So what can I do. I became what I once hated, but I am not ashamed about it. It's just shocking as all. I am making plans to go to brony con this year actually. But it's nice to meet you all. My skype is Two and A Half Kings if you want to hit me up. I'm also 19 the way Edited January 22, 2013 by TheMarkz0ne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWhovian1902 596 January 22, 2013 Share January 22, 2013 First off, welcome to the fandom and MLP Forums! Secondly, I don't really have much advice for you. I can relate, what with my parents giving me problems for being in the fandom, but I still haven't found any "good" way of dealing with it. For you, I recommend trying to explain it to them if they'll listen. If they're closed minded people who won't listen, then it may be best to keep it to yourself. That's what I've been doing for a while now. Is it sad? Yes. Does it work? Absolutely, but it should only be a last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Airbourne 21,977 January 22, 2013 Share January 22, 2013 19 here too! It is not awkward that you like the show and don't let others say that about you. But yeah the show is great and just enjoy it for what it is Welcome to the forums btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart's Desire 181 January 22, 2013 Share January 22, 2013 Welcome! All I can say is that the show is awesome and people who hate generally do not understand, which I'm sure you know better than anyone as you've converted to a fan! Only you know how your family works. I suppose you could show them why you like the show, or you could just ignore them. You could hide it if you feel you need to, but hopefully it doesn't come to that. I'm in my 30s and my Mom still looks at me funny when I talk about it. The thing is I've been through this with her MANY times over the last 30 some years and in the end she usually comes over to my side. She just doesn't get it at first and believes all the stuff she hears on TV. "Madam, life without you is like a broken pencil.

TheMarkz0ne 962 January 22, 2013 Author Share January 22, 2013 The show is just a show plain and simple. I think people are beginning to understand the whole brony thing and it's not that big of a deal anymore. MLP is girly yes, but that doesn't mean men can like it too. It's a shameful double standard we have in society where women are allowed to associate themselves with masculinity. But men can't associate with femininity. Also MLP promotes good morales, has amazing artwork and has great character development in eacch episode. MLP FIS is up there with Adventure Time and The Regular Show. Those shows have an adult sense of humor, but MLP doesn't need adult humor to be awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
