Do your parents know you're a brony?

[Tanner 186]

They don't know, and they wouldn't care. I don't hide it, but I don't show it much either.

[They call me Loyalty 1,948]

My parents are both adult children. Lying to themselves everyday, so they can bear the notion of being afraid of living.

Purely mind driven by childhood traumas and conditioned love. Need to control everything, stagnant fear. Thinking themselves better than anybody else, mostly because outside their minds it's painted "failure" all over the mirror.

They come to me for guidance. I'm more their father/mother than they are mine. Not like it was any different before.

Nope haven't told anybody. But it SUCKS because I have to wait 'till summer because it just happens that my parents are off on the weekends so no MLP for me until maybe Christmas break or next summer. 

[ThatBlazingPony 11]

My mum knows, but I'm not sure about my dad.

 

Speaking of my mum, she is totally not cool with me being a brony because she thinks it'll turn me into someone with a twisted view on society and such.

 

I'm not sure what my dad's reaction would be, though.

[redshell 195]

My parents know I am a brony and do not like it. They think all bronies are pedophiles

My mum's the same as yours. She'll think I'll become someone with a twisted view on society and stuff like that.

[Meeh 48]

My parents know, they really don't care. I think my mom might actually be into the show as well.

[SET318MLP 55]

Mine don't know. I haven't been a brony for that long. I'm probably going to tell my therapist soon though

My parents don't know. Actually no one I know Irl know I'm a brony. I'm probably telling my therapist soon.

I showed my mom the show and she watched a few episodes with me. She thought it was good. It was funny because she thought Rainbow Dash was a boy and she fell asleep. She doesn't even remember the name of the show, but she doesn't mind me watching it at all. lol

[Chara 1,565]

My Parents know I am a Brony, they bug me a little bit about it but nothing to bother me.

Haha. I actually thought rainbow dash was a guy too before I was actively watching the show.

@@redshell, WHAT!?! Sorry its just yeah there are some very,very sick bronies that are like that but there are also nazi bronies but both groups are small and not representative of everyone that likes the show. I got into this show to cope with being sexually abused as a kid ,so that makes your parents idea that bronies are automatically pedophiles  even crazier from my perspective.

 

My dad's cool with it he likes to joke about me liking it from time to time but he knows it makes me happy so he's fine with it.

@CookieK

Yeah I know it is crazy, they probably think that because mlp is a show for little girls

Only one of my parents knows I am a brony. She is NOT okay with it. She judges me greatly (in my opinion) and she brings it up in random conversation. Its quite awkward, really.

[Trixie Heartstrings 434]

Both of my parents know, and there fine with it, but in different ways. My dad doesn't really care about it, while my mom has sometimes bought me pony merchindise(and also made my trip to BronyCon possible). My brother on the other hand is not only fine with it, but is also a brony.

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

Well, it's been almost 2 years since I posted in here. Parents still have no idea. xD

Only one of my friends found out over the time I've been a brony. I slipped up on reposting a gif, which showed the link's location being on mlpforums. But he didn't seem to care, and thankfully didn't say anything to anyone else.

I imagine my parents would likely not care so much, but I'd probably never hear the end of the teasing from my dad, which is reason enough for me to avoid him ever knowing.

[Lunar Echo 10,335]

My parents probably wouldn't even know what a brony is.

[Mr. Mustang 647]

WOW!

 

447 Yes to 193 No.

 

I am aghast!

 

My answer still remains no, for those wondering.

[ShadOBabe 18,997]

My mom knows. My dad would know, except that he lives on the other side of the country and I haven't talked to him in like four years.

[Captain Trek 32]

They know. Thankfully they don't actively demean me for it, but they do pretty much try to pretend it doesn't exist because it makes them uncomfortable.

[Measure Theory 44]

My mother knows, but I'm not sure about my father.

This actually reminds me of furries, because there are nazi furries, and "sexual deviant" furries, but just like bronies, those groups are small, and don't represent everyone in the fandom.

[Sectus 246]

My parents are aware to an extent. While they don't understand fully the show or its background, they know I draw my little ponies and have t-shirts of it.

[Axel 1,059]

None of them know, and I plan to keep it that way

[BenCarr 8]

No, my parent doesn't (i said that because i dont have a mom) but i dont want to tell my dad because im 14 and my brother is 20 he lives alone and he has a job and he will probably laugh his ass off at me and call me gay because he doesn't understand and the fact that my dad doesn't know anything about the social media stuff and he just figured out how to use facebook and he's 43 (lol) but he doesn't even know what mlpfim is and he will just laugh and say its for 8 year old girls but he doesn't understand i need help on how to tell him so i can buy merch and stuff
