All credit for the first five stages go to Klondike Kream and her video. This sixth stage can be reflected as an extreme state of the fifth stage of development and deals with the brony's obsession over anything dealing with ponies. The threshold into this stage (aptly named “obsession”) is typically parallel to the purchasing of merchandise. The reaches of this stage extend all the way up to LARPing or attending a Comicon, where the stage six brony LARPs as a character in the tv series, resulting in achieving the Mystical Stage Seven. This is a parallel to the Super Ultimate digivolution from the series Digimon. The brony is now in the supreme brony level, but similar to digimon,after the fight/event is over, they return to a more comfortable level, in this case stage 6 brony.
Does shooting a documentary about bronies count as Obsession. I'm definitely in the sixth stage. I bought my first toys today and have attended a brony meetup.
i am moving this thread to the general dcussion section due to relevance issues in this area. spread the word.
