>>We have several Brony members here at FR

As long as it’s light-hearted fun, good for them.

I’m a Trekker. Heart and soul. Conventions, music videos and fan writing. I don’t think I live on the Enterprise and the last thing I want to do is go into space. But I love being a fan and interacting with other fans. Fandom CAN be a family, and a wonderful one at that.

All hobbies depend on how you manage them, rather than the hobbies managing you.

You have to wonder if “My Little Pony” is the current day equivalent of “Catcher in the Rye”

Pretty much. The world of MLP seems a lot more sane than the madness of current society.

Perverts try to infiltrate everything, even supposedly "conservative" wwweb forums.

That doesn't mean they aren't perverts.

A brony is a male fan of my little pony.

And "fan" is short for "fanatic" ...

What’s a BRONY?

An adult male fan of My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic. In 2010 they came out with a new version of the show from the 80's. Some guys on 4chan decided to watch it to see how bad it would be and instead were amazed at the quality of the show and it blew up on the internet from there. I watched it to see what the fuss was about and was immediately hooked. I've been to 5 BronyCons and about a hundred meetups and made real friends along the way.

This is real. They are called “bronies”. It makes no sense whatsoever.

And thus a fandom was named. I've met the guy who claims to have made this post, I still know him only by his screen name.

And yes, it makes no sense. It never should have happened, but it did. Lauren Faust, the creator of MLP-FIM, just wanted to create a good show for little girls and instead created a cultural phenomenon.

“We have several Brony members here at FR.”

Bronies tend to be more conservative on many positions.

My six year old granddaughter likes MLP. But the interest has been waning for a few months now. As it should be.

My four year old grandson likes hockey. As it should be.

I personally know several conservative bronies. Politically, they can go either way.

One of my “woke” friends who protested in the “No Kings Day” march in Oregan, posted pictures on Facebook.
In the background were My Little Pony posters.
