What are fans of all Gens called?
« on: November 23, 2013, 12:24:43 PM »
I`m just curious if there is a name for people who are fans of all gens?
I know that we are usually just called "collectors". But I`m wondering if there is a nickname for us?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

There isn't one that I know of, but I'm also not huge on labels so if there was one I probably would have missed it. :lol:

I suppose you could say "pangenerational collector" if you were truly truly desperate :)  But as far as I know, there is no specific name (thankfully?) for any subset of MLP collector/enthusiastic except "brony."
Looking for CF Minty, excellent condition! (and maybe Snuzzle and Blue Belle)

Surely it's possible to like a generation without collecting its toys.

^ I think this is the correct answer. ;)

I don't see a reason for collectors of any gen to have a label, really.

I also throw in support of this name.

Totally! For some people its all about the shows/media and not the toys themselves. While for others they cant be bothered with the shows/media and its all about the toys. For the former the name "MLP collector" may not fit so probably "MLP fan" covers it better.

Like Maddie I am not a fan of being labelled and I think its to each their own what they wish to call themselves. We all have very different interests in what we collect and what we like about MLP so its hard to refine it. I am also never a fan of the weird fandom names which groups give themselves - be that Brony or Trekkie or similar. If I like something I don't want to be stereotyped into a category; mainly because I don't always like everything about the fandom so I would rather just be a "fan of Star Trek" than a Trekkie for example. I like that about this community, we dont define one another by a title; we dont judge one another if they like a different generation or different aspect of MLP than we do - we are all just MLP collectors or MLP fans [thats a nice generic description for me].

I am a collector, and indeed broke  :P

I've also only heard of brony, and I've only seen like... 4 episodes of fim amd don't really care about other gens. I like them but I dont really collect them
