So I got caught up in the My Little Pony craze (I'll just watch one episode, see what all these people are talking about..), joined the Boston Bronies meetup group and last weekend drove to Baltimare, MD(sorry, bad horse puns are required!) for BronyCon 2015, the largest MLP convention in the world. Allow me to share with you my observations.

did the other bronies hit on you a lot

[johniegrad]

Are you one of them?

[RegulatorCountry]

No. Are you?

[Norm Lenhart]

I can picture some hardcore nerd/Brony types googling ‘Ponygirls” and getting a bit...pussled...by what he sees...

Now me, I’m Pixelsexual. I like hot Skyrim babes. But if you got a thing for behive hair and yellow skin, I won’t judge. ;)

[johniegrad]

Please! They look like a bunch of folks just begging for someone to beat them up.

[CtBigPat]

I get that you like this, I think. But why did you post it here? Are there other Freepers that are into this stuff?

There are several Freepers who are known to be into this, and the rest of you should be aware of whats happening in society. Bronies are almost like this generations Hippies, only with electronic dance music instead of the Grateful Dead.

Ummmm....

Thankfully, after several years of therapy, I no longer believe that I am Stimpy. I now identify as Ren. It has been a major breakthrough according to my therapist.

As a uber-nerd myself, I'll give you a pass. I don't know that I'll be heading off to any Bronycons myself, but I have attended DragonCon a few times. Of course, the scenery is a biiiiiiiiiiiiit different:

No, but I did get a couple of hugs and a lot of "hoof bumps" (fist bumps).

[abigkahuna]

I thank all my fellow creepers for being so understanding of my predilection toward being Ren, (or was it Stimpy?) I really can’t remember...well its back to the couch for me....!

[GeronL]

hoof bumps

oh my

[CtBigPat]

Hoof bump, aka "brohoof"

As the lines for the panels would snake back and forth people would fist bump each other as they passed. My Knuckles were sore by the first day!

my 6 yr old niece loves Rainbow Dash...she’s into watching the Cartoon network...why no SpongebobCons?????

The thing that is SO strange about "cos-play" is that women get all dressed up like that, then COMPLAIN that men are ogling them.

You can't win for losing.

“Show us on this doll where the bronies hurt you.”

I HAVE to ask: is there some kind of "sexual" component to this?

No, I'm not questioning your sexuality, just curious.

My sister was a My little pony fan back in the 80’s, I was a big Dukes of Hazard fan. And of course my Dad and I would watch Benny Hill. I suppose only the first sentence is relevant to your topic.
