Don't let the fandom dictate how you enjoy MLP. If you love the toys and love the show, keep on watching and collecting. Avoid those places where that type congregate, and stick to the pockets of sanity and tranquility like this forum. If you don't want to be called a pegasister, then don't use the term, and when someone asks if you are, just say, "Nah, I'm just a fan of MLP." As a male fan of the G4 show, I'm kinda saddled (no pun intended) with the title brony. I don't mind it really, but I'm definitely cut from a different cloth than the typical brony. I love the show, I collect the toys, I carry my blind bag Fluttershy with me everywhere, have a couple pony shirts I wear, and I'm working on a Fluttershy costume, but I don't get into the stories or music and whatnot associated with the fandom. I do love some of the art though. I've been a geek for years and years, and I've become comfortable with liking what I like and showing it. If anyone has a problem with it, well, that's their problem and not mine!Just remember, you dictate the fandom. Don't let the fandom dictate how YOU enjoy it.
I only belong to one brony board which is Equestria forums. It's a generally friendly place. I'm glad to say I haven't really seen the crap you people do, but I already tend to steer clear of it. I wouldn't touch some other pony site with a ten foot pole.However, when the brony shirt with G1 ponies on it came out, my jaw practically dropped at the conniption people through on Equestria Daily. Maybe it's because I'm a longtime fan of G1, but I took it in stride. If it had Fizzy and Wind Whistler on it, I would have bought one. However, people commenting on the Equestria Daily article were treating it like a betrayal and wanted to burn whole stocks of the shirts.I was also introduced to the ramblings of David Kerr who wrote a doctoral thesis of why the royal wedding was bad which was a wall of asinine ranting. I actually into an argument with him about Twilight and company surrendering when the changelings already held Canterlot Tower as he believed they should have fought to the death. I was like 1) this is a kids show 2) sometimes surrendering and waiting the enemy out is the best option. I eventually just left the argument because he got more insane with every post.I don't think this is a fad. While the community will ebb, I don't think it'll disappear. Hopefully that ebb will take the bad behavior with it.No one requires every fan who like FiM to accept the Brony/Pegasister label. If you don't want it, don't take it. Be a fan of MLP and enjoy what it has to offer.
they were naked
Are you serious? When I saw that shirt, I thought "Hey, that's a cool shirt and probably the only pony shirt I'd buy!" I don't like the majority of bronies purely because they "bash" previous generations. I grew up to G1.
