I met a brony that I like at Ponycon to be fair he's the only brony I ever met so I'm doing well. I don't think bony culture is all bad. The only thing that turns me off ponies is my own lack of space and time to enjoy them.
For me it's Bronies.... or at least the brony fandom as a whole. They have taken what is an innocent, lovable series and have perverted it beyond repair. Most bronies I know are ignorant, childish, self-centred and very much think that they are the target audience (not the little girls) I heard one brony say that the show is not for little girls anymore because of the finale in season 4. Just because there's an action scene, that automatically makes it theirs and not for the intended audience. Then there are the bronies who lay "claim" over certain characters, such as when I say Fluttershy is my favourite pony, they yell at me and say "No, she's my favourite. Therefore you aren't allowed to like her"That being said, I only collect G4 ponies, G3/G4 Fluttershy things and the Equestria Girls dolls (so far.) I had some people over at my house and when they saw my collection, they said "Oh you're a brony?" and I almost lost my cool on them. I refuse to be ascociated with such people.
I've heard the term "brony" before and always thought it just meant male fan of MLP, but the way its used above has me confused. Can some clarify the definition for me?

Can some clarify the definition for me?It's a term that was used for any older male fan of MLP, but has come to also be used to mean the group of bad egg older male fans that try to ruin it for everyone else There's some in every fanbase, sadly. For the record, all of the self-proclaimed "bronies" I've met have been really lovely, friendly people, so whilst I've seen a few people use it to only mean the bad eggs, not everyone uses it in a negative way.I've seen some female fans call themselves "bronies", too, though I think the term "pegasister" is more common
