I_wesley125 393 February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 I was thinking, why do bronies call themselves that? Fans of other shows don't have a name for their fandom, why do we? I'm not saying its a bad thing, just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starshine 16,333 February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 (edited) This fandom was originated from 4chan, namely /co/ and /b/ Those people from /b/ often called themselves as /b/ro So, pony lover from /b/ are called bronies Edited February 21, 2012 by Weyland 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkazoid 3,493 February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 (edited) When I read the tittle I was like: "and why is water wet?" but then I read the description, I was like "what about the Trekkies and the Gleeks?" **scrolls down** exactly! but Weyland, pretty much explained it xD Edited February 21, 2012 by Pinkazoid :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larko 77 February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 Because we are proud of the community we have formed and thus we give ourselves a title and identity to group ourselves around. Even when My Little Pony FIM is canceled; the bronies shall remain strong and keep it alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordica 180 February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 Well, it did originate from 4chan, and they usually give names to the different groups of people that use certain boards. So i guess it was only natural that the new MLP fans got a name for themselves as well. Fans of MLP FiM on the /co/ board are also called Colts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankveld 4,949 February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 I'm part of the pokemon fandom and I consider myself to be a trainer, or rather the pokemon league champion. In five of my friend's cellphones my name is saved as First name: Champion Last name: Katrina ;p but lots of fandoms have nicknames for the fans; beliebers - fans of j.beiber lovatics - fans of demi lovato monsters - fans of lady gaga katy cats - fans of katy perry etc ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
