GrooveBroove 680 February 14, 2012 Share February 14, 2012 I went over this hill long ago. I think its a phase just about all bronies go through, some just take longer to get over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Diamond 7,569 February 14, 2012 Share February 14, 2012 Each age group of bronies seems to experience this stage in varying degrees, for varying lengths of time. I've never personally been confronted about my affinity for MLP, nor do I associate in social circles in which my fandom would be polarizing. But it is difficult nevertheless to imagine the worst case scenarios; after all, nobody wants to be made fun of for something they enjoy. As a brony, you just have to roll with the flow. There isn't much else you can do. If people make fun of you with malicious intent (as opposed to teasing you but otherwise being fine with your fandom), then they are behaving like narrow-minded children. In the end, you have access to one of the best support systems (i.e., the brony herd) that I have ever witnessed in action. The bottom line is that you should never feel alone. Your fellow bronies are there to support you. And who knows: you might make a brony out of a critic; it happens more frequently than you might think. Domine, tu omnia nosti, tu scis quia amo te.

Skar 324 February 14, 2012 Share February 14, 2012 (edited) I could never be embarrassed by it. I played Pokémon with cute Pokémon, loved cute looking anime characters, and even played a female gnome on WoW. I always had a want for cute things in my life, and yes I am a very manly man. Always love me some good zombie killing, gore flying, and sword swinging fun. I guess the show wasn't much difference from what I was already doing. In my opinion, if a friend rants on you because of something you like, then are they really a friend? Edited February 14, 2012 by Skar Sig made by Yours Truly. Want one of your own? PM Me!

See, I would go around buying the merchandise and stuff if I had someone to do it with lol. Its a lot more embaressing when you are alone in it. But again, I am still in early phases.

Arashi Takamine 123 February 14, 2012 Share February 14, 2012 I'm somewhat in the same boat. I love it but I feel a little silly watching it but it's really fun and I can't force myself to stop watching it. I just decided: "Screw it I'm a brony and I'm gonna go back to WalMart and buy that RD figure!" Nothing is gonna deter that mission. Be proud! Found at Hagaren.org Proud Pega-sis/Brony and writer!

Mare in the Moon 173 February 14, 2012 Share February 14, 2012 I don't think that anyone would call you out on it in a public setting like a store anyway. Oh thats really not what I meant lol. Its really just the idea of going and buying toys and stuff in general. Its already something I do (no MLP stuff yet though o-o), and even though its something I want to do, it still doesnt take away the akward factor. I dont mind it, but its still there. I am kinda bad with trying to express ideas sometimes, so I hope a lot of what I say is understandable. Finally committed my first name change. TURKEYS!

Cross Beats 28 February 14, 2012 Share February 14, 2012 Take it from me, as i had it the hard way by everyone finding out through facebook, its not so bad. It acctually makes you more popular with some people and if I hadnt been exposed, i wouldnt be with who i am now Gonna make your hooves move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyreth 194 February 14, 2012 Share February 14, 2012 The majority of us go through that phase. I know I did. You'll get over it in time. You should be proud of the fact that you're brave enough to judge something for its merit and ignore the social norm. I can't make signatures.

Shadow Stallion 436 February 14, 2012 Share February 14, 2012 I was embarrassed for a few days. Hell, now in class I write down the lyrics to every pony song there is. Also, I wrote a Sonnet (poetry project in ELA) about ponies. And read it out loud. To the whole class. I earned respect points, though. For having balls.

Jokuc 8,173 February 15, 2012 Share February 15, 2012 (edited) I was also embarrassed at the start but then I told everyone, it was embarrassing for 1 day when my friends kept on asking why I like my little pony and stuff. They said it was stupid. Now almost every single one of them watch it. Totally worth it. Edited February 15, 2012 by Jokuc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mare in the Moon 173 February 15, 2012 Share February 15, 2012 I just straight up told everyone today, it really feels like a weight is lifted, and now I couldnt be prouder. I say just go for it and tell everyone who deserves to know (friends, family, etc.) If they really are your friends, and if your family respects you, they wont really hold it against you (You might get joked at, I did, but I just tolerated it) Basicly just lay down your reasoning, listen to their reasoning, then just agree to disagree.

LOL I know, I was just jokingly pointing out that one just might be a bit more embarrassing than the other. In all seriousness, I feel less and less embarrassed every day- a good show is a good show, and MLP: FiM is one of the best I've ever seen, so why should I or anypony else be embarrassed about liking it?
