Hazel-Beam 88 April 17, 2013 Share April 17, 2013 I don't blame you for feeling uncomfortable about telling your friends that you like ponies. Even I, being a girl, find it hard to bring up with my friends, because even though they might not judge me for liking "colorful ponies", it's still seen as a 'little kid's show" - kind of like how many adults are still into Pokemon, and are judged for that because they aren't 'acting their age' according to some people. For example, in high school I watched Pokemon all the time when everyone else was moving on to dating and prom and similar things. Liking Pikachu and wearing a Pokemon shirt was one thing, but if people had found out that I watched the show, they would have made fun of me for it. I think with girls, its the same with My Little Pony. We might not be judged as much as, say, a guy would be for wearing a Rainbow Dash shirt, but once people find out how much we really, REALLY love the show itself, we start getting weird looks, and are told to 'grow up' and stop being so childish. I can totally understand why guys are teased for being into ponies (although personally I think it's awesome that so many of them do, and I admire their self confidence for being so open about it!) and I feel for those who get a hard time about it from other people, even from their own friends. But I think that a true friend is one who won't judge you for what hobbies and shows you're into. In short, it's okay if you don't feel comfortable telling people about your love of MLP. I feel the same. Just don't let anyone make you feel bad if they try to make fun of you for it - being true to yourself is more important than impressing everyone, anyway. And not to mention, impressing everyone around you would be impossible! Better to have fun enjoying your fandom. 1 Sig made by the talented EarlGrey!

Umbral Noir 1,556 April 17, 2013 Share April 17, 2013 Welcome to the herd! I'm glad you enjoy the show, it's so cheerful and enjoyable that I find it hard not too.

Crimzo 13 April 17, 2013 Share April 17, 2013 (edited) Hi and welcome!, you are defiantly not alone, I thought the show was stupid at first and it felt very awkward when I actually started to like it. Before I had seen an episode or even heard about the fandom, whenever I would see a picture or anything from the show I thought it was stupid and it repulsed me, this was coming out of the assumption that all it was was some girls kids show reminiscent of teletubbies or something like that. And that's exactly what it looks like at a glance. When I heard about bronies I figured there must be something to the show, so one day when I was bored there was an episode listed on the side of youtube and I decided to give it a chance. I immediately skipped the theme song or any other song as soon as it came up, but other than that it wasn't bad, although I didn't particularly like it either; I wasn't a brony at the first episode, that's for sure. over the course of a few months I ended up watching 2 more episodes, the second was the season 3 finale (twilicorn episode), it was listed on youtube because it had just released and was popular. While it was in the beginning I actually didn't skip the first song because it actually sounded decent and thats when my interest peeked, because they were singing about their "cutie marks" being switched and that had some kind of significance. I was thinking, 'What? those symbol things on their butts actually have significance in the story? They aren't just some stupid thing the makers put there for girls to like them more?'. I was immediately curious, I googled "cutie mark" and it took me to the MLP wiki where it mentioned that they are explained in the episode "cutie mark chronicles", so I searched for that in youtube and watched it. After this point every episode I watched made me more and more curious. and then started liking it more and more, I ended up going on a three or four night marathon of the entire show. When I started that marathon I still didn't particularly like the show itself until I had seen both the 2nd and 3rd season and most of the 1st. (I watched in reverse order because most of the episodes I had already seen was from the 3rd season) The reason I kept watching was because it was refreshing to watch something for a change that isn't chock full of profanity, perverse jokes, and propaganda that I am so used to seeing in all types of media nowadays, the innocence of it was just refreshing. by the end of it though I started actually liking the show and feeling attached to the characters, which at first was very awkward and I almost wanted to stop, but now when I look at the show I don't see pink, purple, and rainbow colored talking ponies anymore, I just see characters in a show that is very well written and produced.

Bigmethod 239 April 18, 2013 Author Share April 18, 2013 Awsome response, I completely feel the same. Props to you for being curious and outgoing to see a show like this. I always found myself to be tolerant, but I never would actually try the things I'd tolerate... And the one time I did, I ended being forever thankful... Def. opened my eyes. Hmm... also, i just saw the ep. where derpy has a fairly large speaking role in, loved it, however, i soon found out they aren't going to include him anymore? Any reasons for this?

There are people in this world that find Derpy to be offensive to people with disabilities i personally think the whole issue involving Derpy is stupid and that she should just be allowed to stay Avatar by Midnight Scribbler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmethod 239 April 18, 2013 Author Share April 18, 2013 I agree, it didn't seem offensive, and cartoons have had similar characters for many years, a prominent example is Patrick star etc. etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
