Black Licorice 58 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 I'll admit that I've only watched only one full episode since the show started and that was only because somebody linked me the episode on a forum. Other than that, I've watched 1 minute MAXIMUM parts of the show, and that is rare. I'm wondering, does that still make me a brony or not? I have written fanfics and all, but I'm starting to wonder if it was all for nothing. Don't give up on your dreams, keep sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,632 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 Honestly, the term 'Brony' is so loose now I am thinking now that you could even despise the show and still be considered one. In this case, you probably are anyways. I wouldn't worry too much about it. You apparently have some form of liking to the MLP universe and not hatred towards it, so...That may qualify. I don't know, interpretation and whatnot. It is different to everyone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,307 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 You watched only one full episode, and then wrote fanfics and joined this forum? That sounds a little odd to me. 6 Thank you Sparklefan1234!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest90210 3,568 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 Sure. Do you like the show? If so, you're a brony. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,330 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 I let you in a secret, I'm a Resident Evil fanboy but I've never been able to beat any of the "classic" games, so brony on.

Rainblow H. Ash 5,091 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 Wait you watched only one full episode and then wrote fanfics about it? Dude... that sounds hard. I mean, I'm not pulling your Brony card, but dang, that sounds harder than eating a tub of lard. I would kind of need to know the characters better before writing stories about them, so kudos to you on that. 3 #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarentheUnicorn 218 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 It is up to you if you want to identify yourself as a brony. I myself do not consider or call myself a brony, I already liked MLP before the FIM/Brony fandom existed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deesinn 393 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 I let you in a secret, I'm a Resident Evil fanboy but I've never been able to beat any of tBrohoof Thishe "classic" games, so brony on. Duuuude!

Frostgage 7,975 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 Being a "fan" of anything is such a subjective term these days, I don't think anyone can tell you that you're not. If you call yourself a Brony, and you want to be one, then you are one, simple as that. 3 Signature by Lacerna | You should fill out my Johari Window. All the cool kids are doing it.

Lagom 204 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 Agreed. If you like the show despite not having watched it a lot of time, you can still be a brony. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Bronson 343 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 I don't see how you could make any fanfic based on one episode :/ Also, have you only watched one episode because you haven't had the time, or because you didn't like it? If you don't like the show, I have a hard time calling you a brony -_- Despite the negativity in this comment, being a brony is just a branding. So obviously i'm for love and tolerate and would hug you ^^ OC: Blaze Bronson (Drawing by Digiral) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concord 1,982 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 Hello! Lately people have become a little more forgiving of the term "Brony". Usually, it is up to the person to decide whether or not they should be called a brony. Considering you have written fanfics of the show, there is little doubt that you're a fan of the show. I personally do not like the term "Brony", even though I am a fan of the show, the fandom. If you believe that having seen one episode is enough for you, then you have the option of calling yourself a brony. If by any means you do not like the term, you can safely just call yourself a fan. Thank you MatrixChicken for the Signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrent505 370 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 I think brony is all about being a fan of MLP. It really doesn't matter what part of it you're a fan of as long as you are a fan. I love the show but I love the community even more. If it wasn't for the community that sprung up around the show I know I wouldn't have ended up a fan at all or anywhere near the fan that I am. The show is wonderful but the stuff that the community creates fuels my passion for calling myself a brony. So I'd say if you immersed yourself in the community and had even never watched an episode you can still be a brony. You'll kind of just have skewed veiws of the ponies and mlp universe and I don't know what the fanfics you make will be like... But yes, still a brony. Though I would encourage you to watch more and to support the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDiscord 289 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 You are only a brony if you want to be one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demirari 454 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 Doesn't matter if one watches the show or not. It is if you like the universe enough to distinguish yourself as one. Do you like it enough to proudly say you're a fan of it? If yes, you are. You could watch something and have a mild interest. You can buy things from a show and still not call yourself a fan. It depends on the person and not what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,330 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 Duuuude! Get on it man! If you like the show, and like doing stuff with the show, then who cares what you call yourself. I need to just cheat(either with Gameshark or via emulator) infinite ink ribbons in so I can save scum my way through them one of these days.

Lightning Bliss 1,674 February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 (edited) When I designate someone as a brony, I tend to... lean towards people who love the show and actually watch it before getting into the merchandise, fanfics, fanvids etc etc. This video to me basically sums up what bronies are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV-OF9wZWDs "True fans adore the show, while others gallop to the herd!" - John DeLancie Edited February 4, 2014 by Lightning Bliss 4 I'm just a silly little alicorn, trying to get by in the fandom ^^ The Lightning Bliss Show Lightning Bliss DevianArt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UserNotFound 964 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 Id say its up to you! If you want to be called one then be called one! I don't generally say I'm a brony... Nor do i really say I'm a pegasister... Although I like that term a lot! I generally say I'm a fan... However I can honestly say I'm a Disnerd and a Whovian... so yeah xD whatever you want tobe known as... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpop198 696 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 Well, you are on this forum, so I would say your a brony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epzik8 92 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 I don't think you have to watch the actual show a lot to be a brony. I myself pay more attention to the fanon stuff, and I've only watched parts of episodes of the actual show and never a full one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkie The Bard 12 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 as long as you have pony in your heart yes,but its rather odd to just watch one ep...you are kinda missing out on alot lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkflame 3,310 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 I have to wonder why someone considers themselves a fan of something when they're not that interested in the source material. These days it seems like Brony has no meaning aside from "a person who likes to call themselves a Brony". Sig by Thunderstorm Check out my Rarity fansite!
