Zenith 669 February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 In a car ride, I told my father about this rather new pony show, and that it's different than what he would think, and that there's a huge community of adult aged fans. I also told him about the hilarity of True Capitalist Radio. He doesn't seem to care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkCloud 2 February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 Uh... Told my brother, called it gay and never spoke of it again. My dad strongly hates Obama and would probably shoot me once I utter those poisonous words. (jk) But yeah, haven't said anything. I also think I'm the only Brony within a 50 mile radius of where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezynell 2,037 February 3, 2012 Author Share February 3, 2012 It's probably not what you're expecting, but here you go. I want a more show accurate Twilight. Also, sorry for the extremly large photo, I was too lazy to resize. Not what I hoped for, but I'm still super jelly :3 GAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrooveBroove 682 February 9, 2012 Share February 9, 2012 You could always try thr indirect approach. Leaving the show on, showing it to younger family in the house and working your way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronous 682 February 9, 2012 Share February 9, 2012 I told a friend of mine this and I'm offering to you the same advice; if you're looking to placate your parents, I can't offer any tips outside of "playing it cool." Show them pictures of the lot of us, preferably people your age, and explain how it's kind of rooted in heavy duty remix culture. Be chill about it and don't behave like they just happened upon some gigantic stash of sexually deviant smut in your desk drawer and you'll be fine! If they ask questions, be open about it; going on the defensive about your fandom is the easiest way to make things awkward for everyone. keep it real .

wilsonbiggs 10 February 9, 2012 Share February 9, 2012 (edited) I think I'll just let it happen. It's mainly my sister I'm worried about. "Wilson is watching My Little Pony?!" oh geezus...

Comet Tail 809 February 9, 2012 Share February 9, 2012 I'll back up Veece here. I think 75% of the awkward weirdness comes from the brony's own self-perception of how other people will see it, rather than truly, how other people see it. I mean, really, it's quiet simple, it's a show with amazingly well-done characters and it's just nice and uplifting. Certainly puts a better mood on the day than something like "Saw" I'm a student Royal Astrophysicist that loves kindness, rationality, curiosity, open-mindedness and deep intellectual discussions! Oh, and a nice quiet evening with a book, paper, quill, and some hot cocoa!

I know. I completely agree. Yes, some random kids call me gay (inevitable) but the rest of the kids are bronies or don't give a crap. ⇙Look & listen to my youtube videos!

Eenohay 318 February 10, 2012 Share February 10, 2012 Basically I managed to get my mon interested in the show, and showed her the baby cakes episode and she liked it and agreed to watch more. My sister has shown more resistance, but she did seem to like the Best Night Ever when she saw it. So I'm happy and just had to talk about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallow 1,137 February 10, 2012 Share February 10, 2012 My family hardly understands English at all. And I definitely don't want to show them the terrible french dub..

NewCalamity 3,454 February 10, 2012 Share February 10, 2012 My family knows about it and how much I like it but they don't seem to be interested in watching it.

RippedOffMattress 314 February 10, 2012 Share February 10, 2012 Ugh, my bro and dad are resentful to it, but my mom likes it. But she'll only watch if I'm watching it with her on TV.

RagingTwilight 101 February 10, 2012 Share February 10, 2012 Only my girlfriend knows I'm a brony; I've been way too scared to tell anyone else. The fun part is, you get to make subtle pony references without them knowing. It's even better when they find it funny and don't know where it came from. I think if I could tell anyone in my family, it'd be my cousin. He and I usually end up liking the same things anyway. And if he isn't a brony already, I"m sure I could get him into it.

Come to think about it, I intended to show it to one of my cousins if he isnt a brony yet, too bad I didnt get to see him this summer, we are like the best pals ever, and he always likes what I like, I bet he'd love ponies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
