Invalid 54 April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 Just a simple question and I'm curious how many people will stick around until their eventual departure from the fandom. Or not. For me, I don't really see myself doing so anytime soon. Not that I'm planning to either since I've been enjoying much of the fan content. The drama and all else that would normally drive people away; Taken in moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untitled Goose Q 5,136 April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 I have yet to see any reason why I would ever leave the fandom. This place is better than my family. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discordian 6,013 April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 (edited) Technically I've already "left" the fandom. I don't really take part in anything pony related these days. I come to the forum for non-pony things. But as I've said in the last couple years: I'm kind of an on-season brony. When I'm watching the show, I will take part in MLP things on the forum or on Deviantart or something. Right now I'm waiting for season 4 to end before I start watching it so right now I'm "off-season" even if the season is still running. There's more activity in the middle of the season but I hate having to wait for new episodes when I'm into it. There's pros and cons to both methods. I was in the thick of it for most of season 3 and it was pretty enjoyable but I'm taking the other route this time. It was after season 3 that I was doing some dev work for MLPForums/Poniverse. I didn't do any good for the site though. That kinda killed my MLP mood for awhile. (Some of you may have noticed my long absences recently.) All in all I guess I've already "left" the fandom but I'll come running back when I start watching MLP again and of course I'll likely be on the forums until the community itself dies out. Just don't expect me to spend much, if any, time in the actual MLP-related sections. However, once I like something I pretty much like it forever so I'll always be a fan regardless of my involvement with the fandom. My fanboying comes and goes as well so sometimes I get pretty overzealous about it. Edited April 6, 2014 by Discordian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa 5,552 April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 (edited) Already did. In a way. I just hate being labelled a brony/pegasister. Sorry, but it's embarrassing considering the way the public views all bronies as man-children who have a number of mental disorders.

Sorry, but it's embarrassing considering the way the public views all bronies as man-children who have a number of mental disorders. Not that I'm gonna tell you that you should want to be labeled a brony or pegasister but I do feel that the stigma of the label doesn't actually affect you unless you let it. You will be labeled as such whether you want to or not just by liking the show even a little. You know what they say about sticks & stones and words.

Shawchert 120 April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 why would you leave your friends and "Family" that you have made behind? It is unthinkable! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest90210 3,567 April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 Nope. I don't see any reason to. And if I like something, I basically like it forever. If not I don't "like" it forever, I'll at least appreciate it and not suddenly start bashing it by saying "Ooh look how stupid I was back then". Doing that would be lame. There can be exceptions but only if something extreme happened that caused me to have a writhing hatred for the fandom which I doubt would happen.

Shawchert 120 April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 The lion king is 20 years old there are still lion king fans, a great lion king fan base, and art for lion king running around! It is my favorite movie and it hyas not died in the eyes of the true fans. 20 years strong I think MLP can do the same especially with the help of FiM since it sprouted every single one of us into MLP fanbase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zekromic 1,054 April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 Maybe, not planning to do so in the near future, but I'm prepared to do so in case the show's quality decline in these 5 years to come, so I leave with the best terms possible, like I did with Pokemon and not Power Rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawchert 120 April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 well it weeds out those who are more fickle than the true fans of a fandom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastementSparkle 20,312 April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 No. I tend to be a bit obsessive about things I like, and I'm pretty loyal to those things. Even if the show were to drop in quality I still wouldn't leave. I stick with things till the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
