Do your parents know you're a brony?

[Techno Universal 2,575]

To be honest nobody knows that I'm a brony and because I know my parents very deeply I have concluded that it would be best to keep my brony identity a total secret. It's just my parents would likely panic over it and tell people that I'm a brony without me wanting those people to know.

[Titans08Mariota 763]

Nobody knows.. mostly because I have to keep being portrayed as a tough guy to keep my credibility. They would eat me alive in football if they knew...

[Yakamaru 3,127]

My parents don't need to know this shit. They don't need to know anything unless it will actually affect them.

Even if I told them, they most likely wouldn't give a shit and tell me to find my own stuff to like anyway.

I think My Mom knows that I am a Brony (More like a fan of MLP) but She is fine with that.

My dad Doesn't know that I am a Brony but I don't want to tell him.

No. And they never will.

[Derplight Sperkle 1,013]

Yes my family knows.

They found out after I put up some of the vinyl figures on my computer desk. That started a apparent tradition from my little brothers gifting me some pony every Christmas for the last couple years  

[3124567yuhgfdsew 31]

No...

Although I thought they did, because they got me a Rarity plushie once, luckily it was just a joke. They got it for me because I constantly mock it, so they don't suspect it.

Mom liked it because it allowed me to make more friends and have greater social contact. Dad just thought it was another thing I liked, such as Star Wars and such.

[Deleted3133333 3,560]

My parents know I'm a brony, and absolutely hate it. They are pretty much doing everything they can to keep me out of the fandom, including smashing my $200 laptop that I won. So I still have to hide everything pony-related from them.

No they don't. And its going to stay that way as long as I can keep it. 

I think the same way over this. Only my nephew knows.

[Guest]

Sure they do. They used to buy me pony stuff as birthday and Christmas presents so they seemingly had nothing against it. Although for now they probably see it as a passing phase since MLP hasn't come up in conversations in a pretty long while.

[TheNewBrony 69]

No no no no noooooo. I can't work up the courage to tell them  (directly or just leaving signs). I secretly watch the show. 

[Lunatic_Moonwalker 52]

Maybe, but I dont think so, we never talked about it. I dont go to my parents and say  "hey I´m a brony", but I dont really try to hide it. I play MLP Music when they are in the same room but they never asked me about it. Most people dont know it I just tell them if they ask.

[Solar Power 295]

No, I'm completely in the closet as far as my bronyness is concerned. And I doubt my parents have even heard of My Little Pony.

[Midnight Danny 9,025]

Unfortunately, l never tell to my parents that l am a brony, because if l ever tell them that l like My Little Pony, they will hate me for that and my life will be turned into depression. So, l'm very scared. 

[Pentium100 2,122]

Yes. My room has some MLP figures etc. Nobody cares - I watch what I want to watch, though they think I wasted money by paying over 100EUR for a doll (Kotobukiya Twilight Sparkle figure), but other than that it doesn't matter. Even then, they know it's my money and if it wasn't the figure it may be yet another tape deck or something.

They do. They were uncertain about it at first but gradually they began to accept it.

[TotallyNotNyx 15,566]

Havn;t told them. I doubt I ever will lol 

It's not that big of a deal since I rarely watch mlp anyway lool

[Lucky Bolt 35,062]

Yeah they know I watch the show. I don't care and they don't care.

Didn’t you say that your dad was a secret Applejack fan and that your uncle may be a closet brony ?

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

I'm sure I already have posted on this thread but yeah most people know, I'm someone that occasionally walks in a pony shirt. That and I would often watch it at the living room haha.

Yeah that too!! 

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Yeah and they're fine with it. they think it's a little strange, but I've always been a little 'weird' since I was a little. So they just chalked it up to that

[Le Trotteur Sauvage 13,051]

Not at all
To be honest I don't see why they'll have to know, MLP is not really known here so being a brony doesn't mean sh*t !

[King of Canterlot 9,603]

Yes my mother does know that I'm a brony, she's known for quite some time, as she found out that I was a Brony a few months after I had first joined the fandom back in early 2017. She's perfectly fine with me being a Brony, in fact, she took me out to Trotcon in Ohio last year, and even though Trotcon got canceled this year, we're making plans to return to it next year!
