Why are you losing interest in the Brony fandom?

[Guest]

It's true many fandoms die out after a while but I don't see the brony fandom going away any time soon. Long after my little pony is done we'll still hang around and be bronies because there's so many of us and the show has brought a lot of people together so not only am I not losing interest, I've just started.

I'm not as much losing interest as I am more...hibernating I suppose. It's between seasons and I've watched all the episodes so I don't see why I should involve myself with it. I'm definitely gonna stay as us BRONIES are awesome and my phone has autocorrected bronies to BRONIES.

Like others have said, I don't think that I'm really losing interest, it's just that there's not much going on except for people complaining about EqG.  I've also had significantly less time to devote to the fandom, now that school is over and I've started working.  Heck, I'm not even sure that I would have visited these forums in the past few days had I not been trying to keep up with an RP that I'm involved in.  I'll have more time once summer's over though (as wrong as that sounds, it's true...), so I imagine that I'll become fairly active once again at that point.

Maybe it's because I still remember how it was posting on other discussion boards-and what a constant shit storm you were dealing with-that I still love these boards and the fandom in general.

 

There are always going to be people who make a big deal about one aspect or another-don't let them rob you of something that makes you happy. Just ignore the idiots.

I am not losing interest either it's just that the series is on a stand-still. People are still getting over the fact that Twilight is an alicorn and the EQG thing is gonna come up. I am sort of glad that season 4 won't be here until close to the end of this year because there are several fanfictions I wanna read before then. I just finished Rainbow Factory which is awesome and next on my list is Cupcakes which I will probably read by the end of today. The fandom will never die!

I'm loosing my interest in the show, but not because of annoying complainers, but because the show have little to offer at the moment, and I don't really have the interest to watch season 2 for the fourth time -_-

 

And then, there are other interests that I feel are more fun than rewatching MLP

[mycarhasaMoustache 449]

Im not really loosing interest but I am less active then ever because of the stupid unessasery Equestria girls drama. Im tired of people overreacting to every little thing.

I really don't understand the concept of "leaving a fandom".

 

I mean, I like a thing.  None of you are gonna fuck that up for me.  No random asshat on the internet is going to make me lose interest in a thing I like, and if they can, maybe you didn't really like the thing that much in the first place.

im not leaving for a while as i only joined the fandom a couple of months ago. And will probably be going to my second meetup soon

[Ianpiersonjdavis 512]

The constant judgment and negative preconception from others as well as the paranoia of others finding out that I'm a Brony and treating me similarly is probably the biggest reason I'm seriously considering shutting down all of my MLP-related blogs, accounts, and fanfics.

I think what is wrong is that the Brony is

has been given such a bad image in any

main stream press and well nature that

it has come to effect many fans and would

be fans sadly given what happen to young

brave boy.  It shows still how shallow our

main socity is :  gay marriage is ok!  Legalize Pot

and Sell it in a little open side shop!  Cos-play

Contest are ok!  Being a Nerd a main stream

and have no fear walking into a comic shop!

BDSM and steamy romances are being made

into a movie which will rank in the freaking G's!

 

Anime/Manga are sooo cool and we love it

for the culture it brings to our shores!

 

“I was into anime before it got cool...”

 

Brondy-dom:  ahhhh any straight male should

not be watching a cartoon bout colorful ponies aimed

to a female demographic !

 

It goes against our image of a culture of

what a male should like!  Boooo the

Bronies....

 

"Hey,  I'm a girl who watches the show too!"

 

Ahh but your a girl and your sex likes pretty things

and anything with "feelings" in it!  

 

"......"

 

(walks over and hit main stream society with a

iron bat of love and friendship...)

No I have no interest in leaving the fandom. Well the fandom is not the best, I still enjoy being in it.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

I haven't lost interest, only difference is as you've been a brony for longer. You don't bring it up as much, but I'm still interested in the fandom though.

[Adente 1,000]

Well, for me personally, the brony fandom has never really captured my interest to begin with. It alerted me to the show's existence and that it was worth a watch, nothing more. I enjoy watching the show, but other than being active on this website, I don't do anything else in relation to the fandom. For example, I am part of a brony clan on xbox live, but we don't even talk about the show at all, we more just chat about our social lives and whatever's been going on in our lives. I guess the fandom just was never a large factor in my interest in the show, that and there's many, many aspects of the fandom that really get under my skin, so I keep it at arm's length for the most part.

[Scootalove 10,689]

I haven't lost interest, I wasn't actually interested in the fandom at first only when I was interested in the show I had to be interested in the community itself.

[Jokuc 8,173]

Not at all. I'm just getting a bit tired of all people who complains about absolutely everything and those who are mean to others.

[TomorrowJoes 14]

It's not so much that I'm losing interest in the fandom. It's just that I don't have any friends that are bronies. I'm hoping that I'll find friends when I move though 

[PokeBolter 208]

The only reason I'm leaving the fandom and the site is because I can't even sleep at night because this is really all I can think about and I kind of want to get my life back to normal. Also I don't even watch Mlpfim and I probably won't untill the next season because with most shows I just watch the new episodes when they're still said to make new ones. Thanks to all the ones who made me feel welcome here and well you can check out my fan fic but I guess that this is a goodbye one more brohoof to my friends on the page /) and goodbye oh yeah and I'm not doing this to get attention if that's what some think I really can't sleep at night and ponies are all my mind focuses on outside of school now so goodbye  Oh yeah one more thing I won't be trolling the bronies on Facebook anymore.
