If by definition I am not one, I'm not gonna try and set out to be something I'm not. But honestly, for me, I like MLP in the same way someone might like SpongeBob or Ed, Edd, n Eddy. I find it hilarious, cute, and well written all at once - it's my favorite show of all time. But there's a point in which I think people take it a little too far. I've never looked at the show as any sort of lifestyle or anything like some people do....thoughts?
Depends, people have different definitions of brony, I for one enjoy the show, make art, am involved in the community, wear an MLP shirt from time to time, and bought one pony toy for the heck of it, if that makes me a brony, so be it, if being a brony means MLP has to completely change your lifestyle, then no. My definition of brony would be someone who enjoys the show MLP:FiM, I love the show, so that makes me a brony in my eyes, that would also make you a brony in my eyes. I think you know what you are, if you see yourself as a brony, you are a brony, if you don't see yourself as a brony, then you're not a brony. It all depends on what you make of it yourself.
Be a MLP Friendship Is Magic fan, that's all it is. If you are a fan and say you are one, then you are one. Bronies get discriminated too much to not want to accept someone who wants to be amongst them, although some do.
Some of us do fan art, make videos, make custom toys, etc. But, if you enjoy the show enough to watch it regularly, that's enough to be a brony. All the rest is just extra fun.
Mostly being a brony is considering yourself as a brony. Watching the show, etc. You don't need to "love and tolerate".
Being a Brony DOES have one requirement. You have to learn how to not take yourself too seriously. You are, after all, watching a show about magical talking ponies.
This. You can be whatever you choose to be. "Brony" is just a label, if you prefer to just be "a fan of a cartoon about ponies" then that is your decision.
Yep, that's all there is too it. Some are more involved in the community than others, but they are still bronies by definition. Well, it is just a made-up word after all.
You don't have to be a fan to like something you can still like like something without being a fan my friend by the way this is dbzponyninja I changed my username three weeks ago to ZoeTrent0123.
I suppose there is a cut-off point to "just watching the show." You can watch the show, even enjoy it, but not be biting your fingernails waiting for the next episode (as I am now, for Season 4). For example, I read comics, and there are a few from DC I enjoy, but I wouldn't say I'm a DC-phile, or whatever they call themselves. Definitely a Marvel Zombie, however. I like Star Trek and Star Wars, but I'm not a Trekkie or, um, Warsie. I'm just not quite into them that much. I am into ponies, at least for now, so I'm a brony. And I agree with many others here - if you think you're a brony, you probably are.
I don't think it takes anything to be a brony. I guess if you like MLP and want to call yourself one, then you are. Simple as that.
