Is this too girly?

[not_a_name 53]

The only other thing is that she said that Oh, no you can't wear it out of the house and stuff which is pretty much pointless, Maybe I could put it in my back pack or something. 

 

I don't see why you should automatically assume Rainbows=Gay. Seriously Rainbows are beautiful... 

 

Sorta irrelevant, but I had a Rainbow in my old room in the other house I lived in. Infact I had it till we moved out, because we never painted over it. But that doesn't make me Gay, nothings wrong with being Gay, but I'm not. I don't think because the Gay pride thing is Rainbow colored that people can't enjoy Rainbow's and other Rainbow colored things without people assuming their Gay.

 

And again, using Gay as an insult is dumb. And I really don't see the problem with being Gay, but I understand if your parents don't share those views, maybe try to make her understand that its a dumb judgement to make about you anyways. Rainbows do not equal Gay, atleast in my book.

Well I don't know my mom did it right in front of me search rainbow gay pride on google and you will see it. I know gay Isn't an insult it is how someone truly thinks but I think my mom is trying to see that way and that the "bigger kids" will pick on me. Again, just my moms logic though.

 

 

And thanks for all the feedback suggestions btw

Well, I guess she was just idk. . I mean rainbow's are the color of gay pride, but so? Idk, maybe i'm thinking from a different perspective. 

 

I guess I sort of understand your moms thinking if she thinks others will pick on you(Which is possible.) However I think honestly you'll be called gay just about as many times wearing any pony shirt or necklace as you will that one, so if your going to get something its no different then any other merch really in the long run.

 

Its just part of people not being the most accepting sometimes. :/.

 

And your welcome.

I've seen that necklace, almost bought it myself. It's a bit sparkly which might get some stares (though those necklaces were designed to be unisex). I say go for it though, mate. Life's too short to deny yourself the simple pleasures.

 

I have a bunch of pony necklaces. My first was a two-pack of Dashie's face as the pendant, and another of her cutie mark. I wear them constantly. Then I bought a Rarity one with a MASSIVE Rarity pendant and a Derpy one with a similarly huge Derpy pendant.

 

And I've actually gotten some compliments on them, I love wearing them out. I was a bit scared at first, but it all turned out fine.

 

If it helps, back in the day I used to have a necklace I made that my dad didn't approve of when I was in high school. So I just kept it in my bag and put it on at school. Problem solved and all my classmates loved the necklace.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

Honestly, yes, but you shouldn't let that stop you from getting it. If you want to wear it then so what if it's girly or not, don't be afraid to break the pointless taboos out there. If you want to wear pony necklaces then by all means go ahead.

 

((P.S. This advice only applies to the pointless taboos, things like murder and cannibalism are still not recommended.))

I don't think it's too girly. Not much more I can say on the topic.

 

I can say, however, that you're asking this on a site dedicated to My Little Pony, a show for little girls. I'm pretty sure something being too girly is already a non-issue for you.

In order to say something is girly, one must first define girly. Because all girls are different, it's near impossible to say that something is girly. In the end, it's simply a matter of opinion. Take MLP for example: haters consider it girly, but we don't. Basically: wear what you want and be confident. Also, make sure that you don't look like you're "trying" to wear it. It should just kinda blend in naturally with your wardrobe, and be no different than a shirt, so to say. If it looks bad on you, don't wear it or you'll seem like you're "trying." That's the reason that I don't wear hats.

[Capt. Snuggle Gruff 101]

No way is it to girly.  I have one of my own.  The only reason I don't wear it around my neck Is because I don't wear necklaces.  I have it on my keys.  Go and buy it, its awesome.

[MLPForums Phanact 1,374]

Fashion has no gender, ignore anyone who tells you otherwise. You wear what you feel comfortable wearing even if its "made for girls/boys" or any of that bullshit. FASHION IS GENDERLESS <3

[Dark Horn 430]

From a male brony, no it's not girly at all. Besides, who cares if it's girly?

 

We're a community of mainly adults who greatly enjoy watching a show about pastel-colored pony princesses.

 

There's not much girlishness left to be gained, and not much sanity to be lost.

[Lovely 67]

Kinda turned into life advice but whatever. I just got it after about 5-10 mins of my mom talking about how Rainbows are like the "Gay Pride" symbol and stuff. She already knew I was a brony, but it has slightly worried me that she thinks I might be gay. I am straight, but I'm not sure what my mom thinks. Any suggestions what to do? I don't really want to be Like :  "MOM I'M NOT GAY" or whatever but I don't want her to think MLP or RD is gay.

 

Thanks

I would say "I support gays, but I'm not one." or "Those people are gay and I'm proud!" I don't know, I've gone insane . Anyways, your mom doesn't really support the ideas of ponies but who really cares honestly? Just tell her the truth and I'm sure she'll understand. That's what moms are supposed to do.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

I think you should get it. It's totally awesome looking, and who cares what others think? It's not girly at all. Do what you want bro it's your life. Don't let other's push you around and say you can't wear what you want because they may think it is "girly"

[Silver Letter 1,832]

Nothing is too “girly” in reality. The concept of “girly” and “masculinity” are artificial and irrelevant to a pony’s true self. It's indoctrination to teach foals that something isn't right to them because of the falsehood of "gender".

[Seldon 12]

It's not too girly, but if you think you would feel uncomfortable with it you shouldn't buy it. What about a cutie mark necklace? I mean something like 

http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=57074489

I dunno if they sell something like this though.

[AdrianJames 26]

Hot Topic sells those as well. <--- For people who wanted one, and would want to try it on in a store. I think that you should fo whatever you want. You should go for it.

[Keylise<3 488]

I'm a girl (and I don't see the problems with girls wearing "guy stuff" or vice versa) so I don't really care, but no it doesn't look that "girly" to me.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

It is not girly at all! And there is NO SUCH THING as too girly, because I am quite feminine compared to my gender, so that philosophy develops. Simply, to me too girly is nonexistent. Just offering my opinion.

 

But really dude, where whatever you want! Even though the occasional pop-up of femininity will pop up (which ends up being why I don't wear pink), try to be proud.

[Dashabel 381]

If you wanted to buy it, that's fine. It doesn't look that girls to be honest - after all Rainbow Dash is awesome. If you feel bad about it that much you wouldn't have bought it, huh?

[XXVYNIKK 145]

To girly? Why would you worry about a necklace you aren't going to where outside your shirt? Being girly is the last thing to worry about. I don't care about looking girly because frankly people don't say it to me. And I made sure of it. If you want it, get it.

[Rappy0 338]

No, not really I would buy it if I were you I like it. The worst thing that could probably happen are some awkward looks, but I don't think you'll have to worry about it overall because you're going to wear under your shirt.

[Zhooves 843]

Well, if you are going to have it under your shirt, then I would say go for it anyways... If an awesome (I assume~) 13-year-old guy can't wear a RD-necklace, then how come an 18-year-old guy like me can walk around with a Pastry Dash all over the chest on my t-shirt~?

 

 

 

 

Doesn't seem girly. :3 I don't think it's girly at all; nopony would notice. I mean, bow ties and pink rainbows is girly, but RD isn't girly at all. Besides, show your brony spirit with it.

Bow ties aren't girly - they are cool~

 

 

 

 

[sunset_sprint 190]

I'm 27 and I would wear that, thats awesome. You shouldn't worry about if its girly or not, if its something you enjoy and its not hurting anybody then do it. This rule doesn't apply to illegal drugs however, just wanted to put thats disclaimer in there.

[Thrashy 2,800]

Don't worry about it, dude. As far as clothing and accessories go, terms like "girly" and "manly" are merely an illusion, especially in this day and age. Sure, you'll inevitably receive some flak from random haters (this is especially true the younger you are), but if that prospect really bothers you, simply tuck it beneath your shirt.

 

In the end, a simple rainbow-colored trinket doesn't make you any more girly than wearing a sombrero makes you Mexican. (Just don't tell that to Pinkie Pie.)

[Oblivion 20,266]

Omg dude that neclace is so cute not to mention as the meme goes "20 percent cooler" with Dashie on it. GET IT AND WEAR IT WITH PRIDE! Who cares what people think!

[Jokuc 8,173]

no absolutely not if you ask me, it's just a necklace..

necklaces are cool

 

Though I would say that things like this

 

That's a bit too much for me.. :v

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

Nope, it's pretty awesome.  Wear it, and who cares what people think.   It's only as girly as you want it to be.  Wear it proudly after buying it.
