Likewise, Celestia would be 20% cooler if she actually had that mustache.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (9th & Final Season Airing Now)

… ooohhh. Poor whateverhisnameis. lol

I find that my experience has been completely different. I came out as a brony to my friends, and their first response was amusement.
Their second response was to have weekly viewings of the first season so that they can catch up to the second season. Some of them are much more hardcore bronies than me now, doing fanfiction and fanart and all.
-
"Coming out" as a brony sounds so funny to me. It's kinda sad that people have to see it as such a big "step", since they are afraid of reactions.
Thank god with my friends I am already known as the one with the kiddy cartoon gimmick, who can beatbox the intro of the powerpuff girls. So MLP was just another one of those shows I like.
But yeah, maybe it's not so much of a step because of my gender and I don't have to fear of "losing my manly image" or something here.
I can see where the problem for guy-fans lies here. But Disney movies also get a tad girly, with their romance and princesses and nobody would call you a weenie for liking the hell out of them, since those movies got heart!On another note, today I decided I'm not mainly into this for the awesome fanart. Or crossovers. Or parodies.
Since today I discovered original brony music.[hide]

I can see where the problem for guy-fans lies here.Yup. It's a thing. Its get past-able because the show's actual quality is so high, but… not something to go around admitting in public.
I came up with the stages of brony a wek or two ago.
[hide]DENIAL-"There is no way in hell I'm watching this show. Way too girly."GUILT-"All though that gif is pretty funny…."
BARGAINING-"Okay, one episode for the sake of the internet. Then will you stop pestering me?"
REFLECTION-"It was a two parter? That's unfair. Well, it wasn't that bad, but fine, I'll watch TWO episodes just to prove it isn't my thing."
UPWARD TURN-"Okay, I like _____, that character is okay, but I'm still not sold on the show."
WORKING THROUGH-"How many episodes of this show are there? Is it all on youtube?"
ACCEPTANCE- "I'm changing my avatar. And here's my fanart!"[/hide]
But Disney movies also get a tad girly, with their romance and princesses and nobody would call you a weenie for liking the hell out of them, since those movies got heart!
But they also have guy heroes and… are just part of childhood, for generations and generations.
Though there are a lot of people that would chastise anyone over the age of 12 for still liking cartoons, all the same.

Just another reminder that my cousin's two boys (ages six and four), won't watch ANY Disney films because they think they're for girls. sigh

Hahah
I skipped the first three stages and was only like:
"RAINBOW DASH!? AWW YEAH!!! FLUTTERSHY!!!!? D'AAAAW" extreme MLP marathonAlso this reminds me of this.
![](http://imageftw.com/uploads/20111003/Brony_stages (2).PNG)
At the beginning I had traces of a fluttershy. But I had faith since there was Faust written on the can.
Now I'm a full blown Twilight.
I am not a Pinkie though yet, since some of the fanfics are meh for me (fandom, you scary)
Also I hate those bronies who pair ponies up in a serious manner, I wanna punch them
(except for the Rarity and Tom pairing, that one rocks :ninja:) -
Just another reminder that my cousin's two boys (ages six and four), won't watch ANY Disney films because they think they're for girls. sigh
They'll see the light eventually. Robin Hood, Aladdin, Lion King, Emporer's New Groove and maybe Lilo & Stitch will eventually be their gateway.
And maybe Atlantis I guess. but meh on that one.
-
i was so proud of my cousin the other day. he just graduated from high school this spring. he loved lion king when he was a little boy. and he announced on facebook that he went and seen it in 3D the other day cause it's an awesome movie. tee hee. he's still my little cousin deep down inside.

I would never go so far as to call myself a 'brony' for the same reason I would never call myself an otaku.
The negative connotation is just to much to bear
-
ok. THOSE people deserve to be made fun of. That's just beyond the realm of sanity
-
That Homestuck line really got me because I didn't see it coming.
The rest was to be expected. -

I do NOT see how Brony has the negative connotations of an otaku.
Actually, how does Brony have negative connotations?
-
guiez arn't sposed to liek pretty colored ponies. onli gurlz leik ponies. peoplz will think theyz dum.
otaku=nerd=dumb
got the idea. :)
-
I don't like using any word adopted by a fandom to associate themselves with.
It always feels like stretching for an identity
-

Dumb is too relative, since most people just wind up saying dumb to whatever they don't agree with or understand.
Ah, I was thinking more extreme than dumb. Like Otaku to most = asocial, anti-social, useless member of society. You know, if someone goes up to you and says "You're an otaku", it could be taken as an insult.
I don't think someone saying "you're a brony" can be as much of an insult. Well … at least not in the circles I frequent.

How about some fan animations

Wow I hate them already :getlost:
-
Awww, don't hate them. They're still little, I've got hope.
They love Looney Tunes something awful, so yes, I've got hope. They recognize the genius of one half of the classic animation coin, so there's still a chance they'll like the other.
I've mostly been on my cousin's case, "Why aren't you shoving it down their throats!?"

THE PAIN. OH GOD WHY.
Not only do they all sound the same, they also can't sing. And those translations … "Winter Ade Tag".
What the hell.--- Update From New Post Merge ---
On a happier note: What do Rarity, Nightmare Moon, Luna, Zecora, and Granny Smith have in common?
Answer:
! The voice actress.

This got posted yet ?
The voices really sound spot on, especialy at the begining

Voice actors voice acting in other voice acted roles

one surprised me, mostly by how I didn't catch it when I watched the episode. -
[hide][/hide]
-
That Doctor Who one was actually pretty funny.
Is that one based on the 11th Doctor? I haven't seen him yet. -
@No:
I'm sorely tempted to make that Derpy into an avatar.
But… Bobart pony!
-
lol! Spike is Near!!!
I laughed so hard when I saw that XD
The infamous "Spike grows up" strip, now in color (at least I think that's new…):
!

sends Dr hooves animation to local ha ha ha ha.
i actually like the spike growing up comic better without color.

Well, since this shit is spreading like CRAZY I'll just post it here myself, being the self-centered attention whore that I am.

This confuses me. -

This confuses me.If Discord can get away with "Oh for goodness' sakes!" I'm sure Luna and Celestia can get away with "Oh no" or "Oh gee."
-

Thanks! Filly Luna is always adorable … damn, I can't WAIT for Luna's episode.
If Discord can get away with "Oh for goodness' sakes!"
… Jesus, I totally didn't realize it until now, but he DID say that. ... huh.
-
No one here watched the entierly fan made "Epic Cupcake Time" video ?
Why ? It's awesome and the voices are nearly the same !

I watched it, it was well made, very good voices, but unfortunately it felt like a 10 year old's attempt at making "adult" humor.
-
Just watched the cupcake vid and it was f-yay-ing darn cool! I never would have thought I'd see an Epic meal time parody with ponies, but they pulled it off. The voice actors are probably the best I have heard in a fan work, same goes for the animation! Also loved how in the end Pinkie apparently "stuck a cupcake in her eye" LOL

More: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/10/pony-voice-actor-charts.htmlI knew it in my guts Rarity's VA is god tier. This seals the deal. She also voices ZECORA???
Never EVER would have drawn that connection.
Damn, that woman has control over her vocal chords, but I think we knew that since the "THIIIS IS WHINING" part.
I just love how wonderfully she can change the pitch and that particular emphasis she puts on words to get that posh feeling across. Probably my fav voice actress from the bunch. Looking forward to hear her Luna.
But yeah, the whole voice cast rocks. I never thought I would see so much love and care put into a kids show in this regard. -
let me see if got this straight….the same gal who voices Rarity also voices Nightmare Moon, Luna, Granny Smith and....ZECORA?! and to make things even more nuts, she also did Martha and Nazz?!
hand pops open and a cuckoo bird on a spring pop and goes "cuckoo! cuckoo! cuckoo!"
okay it's official, my brain just cracked from all of this! good night, folks.
-
I'm still thrown by Pinkie and Fluttershy having the same actress.

Pinkie and Fluttershy are voiced by the same VA.
Also Dash and Applejack share another VA as well.

Those two eternal rivals…are voiced by the same person!?!
It's like finding out that Sanji and Zoro are voiced by the same person.
