Dzastur 1,717 May 19, 2013 Share May 19, 2013 I was thinking about this today; it's something I could see happening. I'm not talking about a bunch of older fans who decide to sit together (which makes sense) but a seating section "roped off" and designated for the older fans by a theater. And the theater might say it was meant to be something innocuous - maybe even fun, to suggest bronies were welcome - but then people would point out that it could be seen as implying that the theater believes parents aren't comfortable with the older fandom and don't want them sitting near their children. And then it hits social media and *bam*, mini-scandal... I'd suggest midnight screenings to avoid any sort of controversy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adente 1,000 May 19, 2013 Share May 19, 2013 @, To be honest, there aren't enough bronies in any given town to justify roping off an entire section of a theater. Not to mention it would technically be age discrimination if only people over a certain age were allowed to sit there, which no theater wants to be accused of. So I would be inclined to say no. Nice thought, but unfortunately, no. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betez 1,731 May 19, 2013 Share May 19, 2013 Honestly, that kinda seems a little over the top. I mean, if a bunch of bronies wanted to sit together in a kind of established Brony section, that's fine. But roping if off, that seems a little weird. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paianis 487 May 19, 2013 Share May 19, 2013 I'm pretty sure there's already a thread that was heading in the same direction...anyway, I don't think theaters would see it as enough of a big deal to warrant that kind of setup. I mean, I don't even know if there are enough bronies across the world that would book a screening for any one occasion in any one cinema. Anyway, it shouldn't matter because we should be able to enjoy th films in the same way as the girls can, without the segregation or the midnight hours. Its universal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttershyfan94 5,711 May 19, 2013 Share May 19, 2013 No, it won't have a "brony only" section.. Because of what has been mentioned age discrimination. Although, they don't really even have to have a "brony only" section. I guess many will be going in groups, if there will even be many that will actually go watch it. Well if it will be shown in my country I will go watch it. But like I said, no, they won't have a "brony only" section. But I guess many will be in groups anyway.

Umbral Noir 1,555 May 19, 2013 Share May 19, 2013 While unlikely, that would be pretty awesome, if that was VIP seating, that is! At least you'd be able to sit next to other bronies. I think it would be pretty cool, but it's not gonna happen unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,796 May 19, 2013 Share May 19, 2013 That is never going to happen any theater that does this is going to have to whether an epic shitstorm that they want no part of. It will just be a big mess of haters/trolls saying "see I told you they were freaks" parents freaking out and wondering why it would be necessary to rope people off like that and some bronies accusing the theaters of discrimination. Plus although I am sure there is enough bronies there is the matter of them actually showing up, there are plenty of closeted bronies that won't see it in theaters for that reason and there are people that won't see it because they have decided they probably won't like it.

Dzastur 1,717 May 19, 2013 Author Share May 19, 2013 I agree with everyone that it's unlikely - but, then again, businesses have done things a lot more stupid than this. The midnight screening thing would be for my convenience, and the fact that I could see it on opening night and then be done with it, good movie or bad. Also, a theater full of older fans would have a unique atmosphere that'd probably be pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winona the Dog 1,981 May 19, 2013 Share May 19, 2013 I think that would be weird anyway. I mean @, To be honest, there aren't enough bronies in any given town to justify roping off an entire section of a theater. Not to mention it would technically be age discrimination if only people over a certain age were allowed to sit there, which no theater wants to be accused of. So I would be inclined to say no. Nice thought, but unfortunately, no. Unless you live in one of the bigger cities, but as you said it would basically be discriminating against others. I don't think that would be a good idea anyway. I'd find out better to just chat with any bronies before/after the movie. I wish the movie would be showing in my area so I'd finally be able to single out any bronies in my hometown. No such luck Is on my side unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojaxium 1 May 29, 2013 Share May 29, 2013 I work in a movie theater. About a dozen of our staff are fellow bronies. If we meet any bronies going to the movie, we'll welcome them kindly. No need for segregation, we're all friendly. I've openly brohoofed many men when they are brave enough to wear pony shirts in public.

DITR 180 June 1, 2013 Share June 1, 2013 We got a snowball's chance of that happening. As much as I would like to meet other bronies in real-life. Besides, it would just give haters and dailydot writers more fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkiefan1287 610 June 1, 2013 Share June 1, 2013 This would never happen. I don't think any movie theater would care enough or take the time to block one area off for bronys. They aren't going to have people stay in the room to make sure they stay in that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Chaotic Fireball~ 497 June 1, 2013 Share June 1, 2013 I highly doubt that, but it won't stop brony friends from sitting together in groups, and probably might even hook up all their brony friends to go all together and stuff. But it's no big deal really. The little kid and their parents will probably just sit far away from them. What I CAN imagine is the bronies sitting mainly on one side, and the younger kids sitting on the other side, as far away from the bronies as possible, sadly.

Jokuc 8,166 June 1, 2013 Share June 1, 2013 (edited) Nah I can't see this happening. Plus, I don't really think the idea is anything that would work either. Everyone older than 13, watch that midnight-release! Nah but really, it's an odd thing and it would make us bronies look even weirder.
