Should I consider myself a brony?

[Deactivate Me 24]

I am currently 13, and I will be 14 in September. I have watched all of the episodes and the movie. I have also changed some of my icons to pony related things. The main reason I ask this question is because of my age, in most mlp brony videos I have watched everyone has said that a brony is atleast 14 and up.

Pffft. Age is a silly, silly thing, invented by old people who want to feel important and entitled.

Age has NOTHING to do with being a brony. It is a title that you choose for yourself. If you want to be labelled a brony, then go for it! 

[GeneralDirection 1,050]

Brony is just a a term for a male (or female, I suppose) fan of MLP. You can consider yourself a brony at whatever age you want. Welcome to the forums, by they way.

Whoever said that was probably just a troll, or trying to make you feel down. In no definition of Brony does it say you must be old (though I've seen them say "Bronies, the adult male fans of my little pony).

I'm 14 myself, and nobody has ever questioned my status as a brony.

[PonyBoy15 428]

You're a brony dude, accept it   if you're a male who watches my little pony and enjoys it, then you're a brony.

 

Also we welcome you to this lovely forum! Enjoy your stay!

[Smarts 1,622]

Age is irrelevant. You can be a brony at any age. So, if you want to call yourself a brony, then you can. Age limits are lame and are created by lame people.

This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.<br /><br />This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

Dude. Age is literally like a number invented for people to judge you. I've seen 9 year old kids say, "I LOVE RAINBOW DASH, ELEMENT OF LOYALTY." You should say you're a brony. :3

[Wonderbolt_Spitfire 235]

Age has nothing to do with being a 'brony' the only thing that matters is you enjoy the show. Other than that there is no other 'requirement' you need to have to be a 'brony'.

What about us girls?

I'm 13 and a girl. I guess I'm technically not a brony...but whatever. I don't like 'pegasister'. No offense, it just doesn't sound good to me.

Honestly, I don't care what you call me. I'm a pony fan part of the brony community, but I don't care if you call me a brony.

 

So, yeah! I'd say if you want to be called a brony then you are one. I don't think it has to do with age or gender. I'd say its about 1. You want to be called one. And 2. If you are a part of the brony community

[DaReaper 1,944]

Dig down deep, reach inside, ask yourself "Am I a brony?" Only you can answer that question for me yes i am one took me a bit to realize it

[InfinityWhale 771]

>On website that is especially dedicated to being a brony and discussing the show.

 

Yeeeeah, I'm gonna say not to worry to much about it. Welcome to the heard, buddy.

[Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,275]

xD Dude, you can be like 3 weeks old and be a brony if you want! Age doesn't matter in the community! If you want to call yourself a brony then help yourself! You don't need permission or anything ;P It's not illegal to watch a show like this with an age limit.

There ya go. Pass that test, you're a brony.

[Homura Akemi 974]

No duh. You are a brony. You are not a little girl and you poni real hard, man. You are one of us. There is no going back. Welcome to the coolest fandom ever.

[TwilizzleFoShizzle 95]

saying that being a brony requires being 14 and up is the same as saying that watching MLP requires being 7 and younger. Any brony who says "brony" is age restricted is being highly hypocritical.

[Sneaky 54]

If that's what you want to be called. Generally, people like to say that a brony is defined as being 18 or over, but since so much of the fandom is made up of young teenagers, I don't think that's a very accurate definition.

 

Also, I'm wondering if the term 'brony' applies to girls as well. I mean, the 'bro' in brony obviously implies that the fan is male, but it's become such a generic word.

[~Squishy Skies~ 756]

If you like the show, you're a brony. Simple as that. End of argument. No more words. Just enjoy the show. And enjoy it no matter what anyone says!

Good luck to you, and tread carefully. People aren't always understanding, and for myself, I only tell people who I think deserve to know. Close friends.

 

Even though it's actually very easy to defend the brony position since the only argument you'll probably receive is, 'It's for little girls!', it's human nature to be a jerk about things you're ignorant about. Especially since you're just out of middle school (which I'm assuming purely based on your age, and under the assumption that you're from the US.)

Yeah I was only planning on showing it to 2 of them

 

Well actually this year I'm going into 8th then I'll be out of middle school but other than that you got everything right.

Lol yeah.  Your comment seemed a bit rushed.  Just make sure that you actually enjoyed what you watched or valued it for some other reason.  Just because everybody thinks we're so cool doesn't mean you have to rush to join us  (only kidding)

[~Carousel♥Boutique~ 24]

I agree with Scoutaloo. Age has nothing to do with being a brony. Anyone can become one as long as they agree that MLP:FIM has a great interest in them. Though, I am a pegasister I still consider myself as a brony.
