If you go to a Downtown restaurant this weekend and spy folks wearing animal ears and tails, just go with it.

I'm not a furry myself, but I have friends who are. I'll be at BronyCon 2017 next month.

It’s a really fun con; at least it was the few years I went. Not as pervy as a lot of people like to pretend. Just a lot of people having fun and trying to be as silly as possible!

Wish I could be there this year, but I’d rather keep my job that I just got a month ago, yanno?

Also, to the OP, Bronies represent.

Yup. Watched it to see what the fuss was about and was hooked by the second episode.

To each their own.

The last time I wore a costume like that I was getting paid $4.35 an hour and having to keep an eye out for tipsy college students who liked to play, "Hit the mascot."

No, I find it weird for a grown man to obsess over MLP when it was targeted towards young girls.

I just learned of the existence of these whackjobs recently.Curious,I spent a few minutes googling and found,among other things,that most of them are perverts.

Of course that doesn't surprise me..what other type of loser would dress up like that?

Nobody expected bronies. Something about the show struck a chord with nerds and it exploded from there.
