Brony Community! Please Answer a Few Questions?

[HighSchoolInterviewe 8]

Hello! My name is Connor and I am currently a Sophomore in High School. For my English Class I need to write an informative speech about something and chose to do it about the Brony community, I would really like to ask a few non hassle questions to a real community member instead of looking things up on Yahoo Answers. If you are willing to help I would be very appreciative.Thanks! 

[Deesinn 393]

Sure, the more people know the better

Hey thanks Bro! So. My first question (and if you dont want to answer any of them that is totally fine) 

1. How often would you say that you watch MLP? 

 

2. What is your favorite thing about the show. Like when you go and watch it, what do you look forward to?

 

3. How do you feel about the community itself. Do you like your fellow peers or do some of them annoy you?

 

Thanks for letting me take some of your time up! 

[Twilight Circuits 603]

I'll answer any questions you have.

[Wayzer 1,418]

Same here bro. I'll answer them all and answer them honestly. You can either ask them here or ask them in a pm of there are really personal questions

Hope you don't mind if I answer as well.

 

1) One episode a week, if that. I try to stay up-to-date on new episodes, but in between seasons I'll rarely, if ever, sit down and watch the show for extended periods of time.

 

2) I look forward to the funny moments. Even if they aren't "laugh-out-loud" scenarios, the show is cute and quirky enough to have me grinning.

 

3) As in any community, there are the bad apples, but they are extremely few and far between. As for the rest of the community, they are an amazing group: writers and artists and musicians and fans and everyone else all getting together and creating some amazing stuff, not to mention giving back to the world.

 

Got any more inquiries? I have a mild fetish for questionnaires. And storage space.

[Super Derpy 535]

I'll answer your questions. Sounds fun.

 

1. I watch the news episodes as they come out, so once a week.

 

2. My favorite thing about the show is the characters. Characters in a lot of other cartoons seem to have 2-D personalities but in MLP they have layers of personality. Also I love the shows quirky and cute vibe to it.

 

3. Overall I feel the community is very enjoyable to be a part of. Yes, their are some bad apples but they are few and far between, and are far outnumbered by the amount of awesome people I have met in this community.

Wow, Thank you guys for answering. To be honest I didn't think any would answer at all let alone all of you in that short of time. I don't have many more questions but I may have some tomorrow. I'm not sure if you guys will be around but if you are I will definetly have more questions. Thanks guys means a lot.

[Scootalove 10,689]

I'd be happy to answer some questions as well.

 

1. I often watch an episode a week of MLP on Saturdays, but I watch it more than once if there are any reruns of new or old episodes that I missed.

 

2. The songs, animation, characters, and other things that give the show a very heartwarming moment once in a while.

 

3. The community has some people that worship the show as a religion to put it on a high pedestal, and shun anyone who is against anything that they saw about the show. Some members give the fandom a bad name, while others show their talents in what makes the community remarkable.

 

There you go!

Always happy to talk about this kind of stuff.

1. Everytime there is a new episode I watch it. So thats once a week. Then occasionally I will go back and watch a previous episode for a refresher. So probably a coulpe times a week.

2 my favorite part? Thats a tough one. Probably the comedy factor. I love to laugh and the show never disappoints.

3 I love the community. There is so much love and support and creativity. Its very inspiring. Make you feel appreciated and like you belong. Hope this helped!

1. How often would you say that you watch MLP?

 

When I first began watching it, I marathoned the first 3 seasons in 5 days.  At the moment, I watch it when a new episode airs.  I will go back and watch musical numbers from time to time.  

 

2. What is your favorite thing about the show. Like when you go and watch it, what do you look forward to?

 

This is very difficult to answer.  The best way I can describe it is that the actors who play the characters make them seem more human than pony.  You become emotionally attached to them, so it's like waiting to hear from your friend about what they did over the weekend.

 

3. How do you feel about the community itself. Do you like your fellow peers or do some of them annoy you?

 

Just like any community, there are ponies who you like or you don't like.  In my home town, there are not many bronies, and if there are, they are too afraid to tell anypony, I only know of one who is open about it, but here on this forum, I have had nothing but fun.  I don't dislike anypony yet, but I've disagreed with them.  The community is awesome, these ponies rock my socks, make sure you include that.

1. Maybe an episode a day. I watch more fan stuff though.

 

2. I don't know really. MLP is really just good all around. I look forward to the great animation, fun songs, and nicely written story.

 

3. They're awesome! You come in the community site and are welcomed by tons of awesome, friendly people. They make you laugh or smile, or just be happy.

[Jokuc 8,174]

How often would you say that you watch MLP?

 

I watch it every time a new episode comes out, except that I watch maybe one episode a week or something.

 

What is your favorite thing about the show. Like when you go and watch it, what do you look forward to?

 

The characters, that it's cute, that it's happy.

 

How do you feel about the community itself. Do you like your fellow peers or do some of them annoy you?

 

I love the community.  The community is what makes it all fun. I like most people since they are kind and more like me than other people probably would be, but there will always be a couple of people who aren't that nice, but I usually just ignore those.

[Dsanders 5,748]

1. How often would you say that you watch MLP? 

 

I don't really watch it as often as I used to. Though, I always watch the new episodes that come out every Saturday morning. But that's really it. It's pretty much just once a week for me. 

 

2. What is your favorite thing about the show. Like when you go and watch it, what do you look forward to?

 

The songs, the ponies, the animation, etc. There's quite a lot I look forward to. If I had to pick one special thing, then I'd say I really look forward to seeing the mane 6 get pulled into all these crazy situations, ranging from everyday problems to ones that threatened all of Equestrias and seeing how they resolve it in the end. 

 

3. How do you feel about the community itself. Do you like your fellow peers or do some of them annoy you?   

 

It's a mixture of both really. I know a lot of fans who worship the ponies like goddesses. Some of them are just stubborn and arrogant when it comes to their favorite pony. It's also a little annoying how we tend to overreact and make the biggest deal out of the most minuscule things in the show. Besides all that, there is a whole bunch of amazing stuff about this fandom. Lots of talented people and our fandom is just full of a lot of great content. Fan animations, fan songs, plushies, merchandise, fanfics... The list just goes on and on. There's also plenty of fans who are among the nicest people I have ever been so lucky to have known.

hahaha Thanks! Just wanted to tell you that I am definitely going to be adding that. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't have my whole paper be super serious. So heres a question thats not too serious.

 

 

 

Do you think the Brony community will take over the world? 

 

I'm honestly feelin yes. But I want you guys to answer. By the way! You guys are fricking amazing so thanks for letting me have some fun with ya!

Probably! We have like, 800,000 bronies in the US and those are just the ones who signed up for a survey! Actually, we talk a lot about if bronies could form a country

[MarineMarksman 73]

Sure bro, I'll get your six.

 

1. How often would you say that you watch MLP? 

 

2. What is your favorite thing about the show. Like when you go and watch it, what do you look forward to?

 

3. How do you feel about the community itself. Do you like your fellow peers or do some of them annoy you?

 

1. I typically just watch the newest episodes, though I will occasionally go back and watch the older episodes when I'm in the mood to.

 

2. My favorite thing about the show would probably have to be the writing. Sure, there are some flaws (a good example of this would be one-dimensional characters and lack of character growth, even when it comes to the Mane Six), but the writing, especially for freaking My Little Pony, is simply amazing.

 

3. I have mixed feelings about the community. Really, it depends on the area of the fandom you're in. For example, I enjoy being here and on FimFiction, as most people act like normal people and aren't too obsessed. Then there are places like /mlp/ and Derpibooru, where a lot of people act like they have some sort of mental disorder and just make us all look like crap. I tend to hate places like that.

 

Hope that helps, man.

Thanks for letting me take some of your time up! 

 

1. Whenever a new episode is out on iTunes/netflix since I don't pirate or have regular TV/Cable, or I just need some background noise while on my computer. The latter is random though, so it could literally be anything at that point. Such as atm for some reason I've been playing duck tales all day while whittling away at Skyrim.. Sundays are so blasted boring...

 

2. The point it makes about what a "true" friend should be is a big one to me (Each character representing an aspect of a true friend. I keep a Rainbow Dash (loyalty) Steel dog tag on for this reason. As being ex-military, loyalty is a lacking item these days.), as well as the comedy and occasional pop culture reference (usually a reference from the 80's when the original MLP aired. Anything from transformers to the original show is referenced. Even more so in the comics)

 

3. As others mentioned, there are always a few "bad apples". But society likes to pick them out of the bushel and stick to them sadly. Gimme a fandom that doesn't have these and I'll give you a goose that lays eggs of pure gold though

Hell.. give me a sports team that doesn't have them... You know the ones. Totally plastered after the game, screaming in the parking lot just to stir up trouble with anyone they can.. Always fun to watch, but never fun to know.

That aside its great. Lots of talented individuals, many REALLY well done fan episodes (And I usually HATE fan made episodes/voice work.. but some of this stuff is just.. wow.. Hasbro didn't make it?!) As well as something you don't find in most places, there is a lot of acceptance for all sorts of people here. 

 

Do you think the Brony community will take over the world? 

 

I'm honestly feelin yes. But I want you guys to answer. By the way! You guys are fricking amazing so thanks for letting me have some fun with ya! 

 

Nah 

what?.. I said no didn't I? 

For a good time on that contemplation there is a theoretical topic already about a "Brony nation"  somewhere on the forums.

[Sir Xarthas VI 470]

1. How often would you say that you watch MLP?

About once a week if I limit myself to it. Whenever I feel like I am depressed, or angry, I'll watch like 10 episodes and get it out of my system.

 

2. What is your favorite thing about the show. Like when you go and watch it, what do you look forward to?

The show is funny, has a few valuable lessons (to be learnt), and is just freakin' awesome! I look forward to watching the show, when I watch the show. Because I usually watch them in order.

 

3. How do you feel about the community itself. Do you like your fellow peers or do some of them annoy you?

The community is huge, and still growing. Some of the many things I like about this community is how appreciative and understanding it is. A few annoying ponies here and there, but other than that they're all awesome

4. Do you think the Brony community will take over the world?
YES. WE WILL SPREAD LIKE THE PLAGUE AND NOPONY WILL BE ABLE TO RUN! Jk. I don't think we'll take over the world, but I will think we will convert most of it!

1) I watch around an episode or two a day depending on how much homework I get.

 

2) Watching how the plot plays against the characters flaws and develops the character. I also look forward to the jokes, visual gags and just the sheer quality of the show.

 

3) I feel the community is an inspiration to be going against gender stereotypes with flying colors no matter how many anti-bronies and fox news reports shame us for being who we are. All in all most bronies are kind and understanding people who make up a great community.
