Are you out going about being a brony? I personally am very self conscience and don't have any friends who respect me at all for watching it. They are all "Haters", and I can really only find other people who like the series here.
I would say I'm and outgoing "brony" definitely not an outgoing person. All my friends know and the only people who don't are my parents and brother and people I don't talk too.
The same applies for me. I try to compare MLP to the good ol' shows me and friends used to watch when we were in grade school, but they still deny to watch it. If I told my dad (which I haven't), he would tell me to grow up, like he did when he threw out my pokemon games.
My Mom and Dad would think I was gay and I'd have a hard time convincing them that I wasn't and bronies aren't gay. A few are but not all. (I personally don't have anything against gays but my parents do)
Personally, It's not the gays themselves that irk me, its the fact that they get so much support from so many people (hell, they have a parade!). Now if only an ACTUAL minority got those royalties..
I would consider myself relatively outgoing. I've gotten some other people into the show, and I've purchased some merchandise. I've written poems and fanfics, and have become somewhat active in the community. Actually, I've thought about buying this Wonderbolts Hoodie that I've seen at Hot Topic. It's pretty beastly. Gays aren't necessarily supported everywhere, and that parade is a beacon in the dark to people who thought the world hated them for who they are. Please don't bash it.
I don't make a fuss about the whole thing. I never mention it around others, because there is generally no need. I don't care if people know either, as I really don't think it's a massive deal any more. :derpe:
I'm very outgoing about being a brony. Whenever I go anywhere that's not work, I wear a pony shirt, a pony hat, my pony-packed phone, and my keys with a pony on the keychain (Derpy). I'm never shy about it if someone asks, either. On the contrary, I get enthusiastic at the idea of getting to explain something to someone for the first time. To be clear, though, I don't go around shoving it in people's faces. I only say anything if they ask first. Otherwise I act normal.
I'm not all that outgoing per say but it does not take people long to figure it out assuming they know what one is of course
I personally have only brony and ally friends, though I have met a few haters too. I just tell them that I love them and walk away. Baffles them so much!!
Back before I was q full fledged brony, I watched some experimental episodes that my closest friend knew about, but at that point i told him I wasn't a brony becaus it was true at the time. But I got back into the series after playing a horror game and wanting to cool down a bit, which some of you may know if you saw my intro post, but it east until today that I confessedto him and my skype friends I was undeniably in love with th series. Each one of them called me some form of gay or something along those lines. So I guess they aren't real friends if they act like that about how I live my life. I told the one I was closest to that what he said to me was basically the same thing as me calling him gay for playing sonic games. (which he adores)
Don't listen to them. As if you would actually care what they say about you. You like it and you shouldn't give a dam on what others tell you. You tell them that your pal lyon said so.
I don't have any IRL Brony fiends nor do I have merchandise (Can't be bought here at a reasonable price) So I guess you could say, meh no I'm not, I don't tell anyone unless they ask, and if they see my Pony backgrounds then well, love and tolerate. I thankfully ave yet to find a friend who has hated though, I am one of the luckier ones, sure they tease me a few times, but it's all good fun because we we tease one another about everything. And my parents don't care, they leave me alone about it (I like it that way, I prefer Privacy)
Of course not. I have been subject of ridicule to no end for many other things I do/am a fan of, why add another to the list...
I'm not outgoing simply because i have no reason to be. But if someone would ask me about it, i wouldn't lie.
I very sparingly reference them offline around most people. It doesn't really have anything to do with being self conscious, but most of the people I'm around are very opinionated or judgmental and I simply don't desire putting myself through that when I already know the outcome.
I'm definitely an outgoing brony. I never talk about it though unless someone asks or I'm with another brony. I like wearing pony shirts to the mall frequently, but I'm actually surprised no one has said anything at all yet. I see no reason to hide it unless you're in danger of being physically harmed or you're still in high school. None of my friends mind it at all. I've told them, but it's not like I cram ponies in their faces. I recommended they watch it sometime. Whether they do or not is up to them.
