SparkBrony 379 June 3, 2013 Share June 3, 2013 Look what I found at my local library: Aaaaand here's the article: Sorry if I cut off some of the words :/ I encourage reading this, it's a great article. Enjoy! (Btw I have the same shirt as that guy on the cover ) 10 ~SparkBrony The Brony Who Does Way Too Much Stuff! Check me out on Fimfiction!

DITR 180 June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 Yup, sounds just about as pretentious as every other article I've read about someone p's life being changed because if a cartoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderbolt_Spitfire 235 June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 Where do you get that shirt? I didn't read the article, but from a quick skim of it I can tell this is highlighting the better parts of the fandom more so than the 'ugly/evil' parts most people stereotype 'bronies' as. Sig made by me. Surprisingly it came out somewhat decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoarinBlue 202 June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 Why are they all in joke majors? General studies? Mass communication? What a waste of a college degree. Also I hate these "a cartoon changed my life" stories. Also also, MLP has already been featured in much bigger things than whatever "owl magazine" is. Don't you remember the shoutout on the colbert report? Also just in the last 2 months, chris hayes has had pony cameos on his show twice during the click 3 segment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkBrony 379 June 25, 2013 Author Share June 25, 2013 Where do you get that shirt? I got it from Hot Topic a while ago but last I checked they still have it. Anyway, it's pretty exiting that we got on the front page of a magazine! ~SparkBrony The Brony Who Does Way Too Much Stuff! Check me out on Fimfiction!

Ano170 162 June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 Yup, sounds just about as pretentious as every other article I've read about someone p's life being changed because if a cartoon. I used to think the same - that MLP was "just a show". But then, isn't it more than that? Being a brony isn't just watching the show - it comes with a fandom that feels more like a community. And you know what? In some ways, the show and fandom have changed my life a little bit. Nothing huge, but I think I've become a more cheerful and friendly person since I began watching the show. I'd lost a lot of self confidence, and I really believe that the show and supportive fanbase (heck, it IS a community!) are part of what helped me gain some if back. It was also part of what helped me see who my real friends were "in real life" (I try to avoid that phrase as a general rule as it implies what happens online has no bearing on what happens away from the computer, but still) and I've made additional friends in the fanbase, too. If it weren't for this very forum, I probably would never have discovered tulpae/tulpas, and then Phoenix and Nathaniel wouldn't exist. Sorry for the massive wall of text, guess I just got a bit carried away... Anyways, as for there being an article on bronies, I wouldn't say that's new, although it is nice that this one is entirely positive. Being on the front page is pretty cool though. 1 Uh...I have no idea what to put here.

Planty 1,053 June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 I got it from Hot Topic a while ago but last I checked they still have it. Anyway, it's pretty exiting that we got on the front page of a magazine! Is it possible you can link to it? I defiantly want to ! And this article is a massive change from the press the community got originally , was a nice read ! Have ANY questions about Christianity?

Party Cannon 876 June 26, 2013 Share June 26, 2013 Still aiming higher though. We have REALLY made it once we get Pinkie on the cover of Time magazine. Honestly though, I think the fandom has already made it since like a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 793 June 26, 2013 Share June 26, 2013 Hahahahha sorry I know this is terrible... But stare at the general studies major and then the major and the quote for around 30 seconds and try not to laugh or grin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
