Who cares what people think of Bronies?

[CosmicHooves 2,705]

Honestly guys.

Sometimes I just don't give a buck.

 

For example,my brother caught me watching MLP on my iPod 5 and called me a little girl.

Instead of hiding my iPod and denying it I faced the screen towards him and said, "Now we both can watch!"

 

Another instance was when he caught me listening to this song.

 

He then called me gay.

Instead of turning off the music I took out my headphones from my iPod, plugged my iPod into the speakers, and BLASTED the music throughout the house.

 

Are you this way?

Are you the type of Brony who just doesn't give a buck?

[Oblivion 20,267]

Well, I am a closet brony myself, however I really do wish we could be more accepted, everybrony I have met have usually been really awesome people.

 

BRONIES FOREVER!

[tripfly 264]

I wear pony shirts in public

I buy pony things and not even care what others think, and if i could i'd watch it in public

its just a cartoon, i don't care what people think

fuck em

Well only inside my house does anyone know that I'm a Brony.

I'm not really a closet Brony, but I still haven't come all the way out of the closet.

Well actually, I am pretty sure that my brother MIGHT know!

Well a overly negative association can effect your social and or love life. But so long as it does not bear a negative connotation like being a member of a racial supremacy group, then it is fine.

[bailey2 114]

Nope, I spent too much time in my life living it the way other people told me too.

 

"cut your hair", "study harder", "don't listen to rock music", "don't wear this, don't wear that"

 

I'm way past trying to please people and i'm living my life the way I want to live it, Nobody has mentioned me wearing pony shirts in public anyway, I think people might look at us differently in England.

There are people who are both bronies and members of racial supremacy groups, now that's just stacking opportunities to have your life ruined.

 

And I never really cared. I do what I want, if I want to be in your face about pony I will, but as of now I'm usually very lax about showing it off in public unless I know I'm going to a meetup that day or the like.

[CosmicHooves 2,705]

I literally make my brother go nuts.

I am so not closed when I'm at home with him.

I wear my "Fluttershy Yay" t-shirt right in front of him.

He tries to tell his friends that I like ponies and they look at him like he's crazy.

That's because I'm known for being the track and field jock in 10th grade.

Jocks are supposed to be "cool" and not into that sort of stuff.

That's the philosophy of my class.

[Felix 1,363]

I wish it were that easy to say. I dunno. I try not to care, and even try to show people my true colors, but the problem is is that I'm aware how much people get bullied for that kind of thing and I simply fear having to suffer from not just opinion but rumor and action that could come from those opinions or rumors. I'm a totally different person at school, and not a good kind. Maybe to my teachers yes because I'm quiet and focused but my friends really find me boring. When I do try to act like the real me, a crazy psycho that cracks jokes and jumps off the walls, people just laugh with sympathy like "Oh he's trying!"

 

I continue to do what I can however.

I went to a meet up once. Was the only guy there that could talk about sex in the past tense.

I kind of figured you had me beaten there but that doesn't make it any less bitter a defeat.

[BastementSparkle 20,326]

Nobody knows but that's mainly because I have found no reason to tell anyone. I guess they'll have to know when I finally get around to buying merchandise.

 

 I don't think I would really care what people thought of me.

 

 "Hey you like a show for little girls."

Little girls must have good taste in television then.

 

 "Hey you like ponies? Are you gay?"

I only like the mares that way thank you very much.

 

 "What's wrong with you? Horsef*****!"

Have you ever seen a talking rainbow Pegasus? Comparing ponies to horses is like comparing an apple and an orange.

I'm going to hell for laughing at that....

[Soulcrifice 21]

This is my hesitation too. I'd like to meet other bronies that are in the same place I am in life. No offense to the younger crowd but once you get married and have kids life changes. 

[CMQuickfireTK 751]

Looking like a brony is too mainstream. I look more like a nerdy hipster that doesn't even know a thing about ponies.

[LunaFlower226 38]

Some people at school know I watch MLP like my closes friends and three of them watch MLP to but some people do make fun of me for it so I ignore them and I wore my pony shirt proudly to school to day with my AJ neckless around my neck (but it's always around my neck where ever I go)

[SveciaDash 364]

pretty simple, I dont care what people think. What matters is what I think. Dont care if people think it's bad that im a brony of if other people are.

[StormBolt24 117]

Well I am not brony myself at all, but I like MLP-FiM and support bronies. I really don't care what others thinks, because they cannot change for fact who you are.

[Revertz 159]

Pfft you know it, i walk into stores when i buy merch and i let them know this shit is for me.

heres a little example of my daily badassery 

 

Employee: oh is this for your daughter.

Me: NAH UH THIS PINKIE PIE LEARNS TOO WALK DOLL IS FOR ME AND ONLY ME!

[Envy 6,170]

Well, I'm not a 'Brony', and I don't flaunt my liking of the show at all. Just about the only interest I will talk to others about IRL are my instruments. If you think that doesn't get me judged, you'd be wrong. They all think orchestra is what my entire life revolves around, call me "Ms. Classical", and act like Classical is the only kind of music I ever listen to. -_-

 

Years ago, I used to be really outward with my interests in anime, cartoons, video games, music, etc., but eventually I noticed that kind of stuff probably just annoyed people, so I took it down to only talking about my passion in playing my favorite instruments and orchestra/band.

 

Still, in between my best friends, I will talk about those other interests, and I'm afraid that I may have come off a little over-the-top about them. Since I don't drive, being out with my friends is the best opportunity to buy MLP stuff that I want... So they probably think I am obsessed with it, even though I'm really not. But they know me, so I'm actually not too worried. (Contradictions, yay!)

I come back on this forum after like three weeks of absence, and now I'll have to leave again because of a collapsed lung from laughing too hard.

[Shanks 10,816]

I don't go out of my way to tell people and I don't go out of my way to hide it either. If people want to judge me than they are the ones with a problem, not me.

Yes but me and so called "polite society" never got along anyway so I pretty much stopped giving a damn a long time ago. I have had many "friends" in the past that were not my friends at all but were really taking advantage of me so something like ponies is a good way to weed those people out and it is also a good way to weed out mates who are shallow and selfish. I want a girlfriend but not if it means lying to myself and others.

[yeet 2,027]

when i buy a pony beanie in the store i walk around the town centre holding it in my right arm.

[Kay Dreamer 884]

I've long since stopped caring what people think of my hobbies. I don't make a big fuss of them, but I don't make any effort hide them either. If someone happened to see me drawing ponies, I'd just shrug and say it's a cute show. End of story. Most people don't care, or at worst they think my geekiness is an odd quirk and they don't hold it against me. (And sometimes they like the same stuff I do. That's always cool.)

 

It makes becoming acquainted with new people kinda funny. I had to do a 10 minute presentation for uni today, on any music-related topic. I chose to do video game music. The look on some of their faces was nothing short of hilarious! They had no idea I played games. I've known these people since the start of the year, but it just never seemed like a relevant thing to mention.
