I first liked the show because I kind of enjoy being unusual-
Not in that way, though!
I really enjoy being into stuff that
differs from the mainstream, I like ... well, yeah.
The TV-series "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"
Was first aired on the 10th of October 2010
Since then, thousands of mainly older, male fans
have joined the Internet movement surrounding the series
They call themselves "Bronies", they are....
Boys who like Ponies
...it's not a joke
Let me see... It's a person who got hung up on that TV-show,
My Little Pony.
It's just a cartoon
designed for little girls,
but then it turned out older people liked it, too.
They are mostly either young adults or grown-ups.
First day of school after discovering it,
I just...
I was just so happy, and showed "My Little Pony" to my classmates,
along with dubstep-remixes and stuff that fans had made.
I didn't even know about the "brony"-community
when I first saw it,
but then I was like, "Wow, there's a lot more to it!"
People make all sorts of content, like media, images, videos and music
relating to things occuring in the show.
And people make ponies out of themselves,
I mean, that resemble themselves,
to show other people online, for instance.
I actually told everyone I knew about it immediately,
except for my parents, because they ... well.
A lot of people are annoyed by the sheer amount of it,
all over the web, like,
I'm always browsing random videos on YouTube
and related videos are always of ponies.
The best thing would be if we could respect each other,
they don't have to make a big deal of it, if they don't want to watch it.
They've mostly made jokes
and said: "Ohh, gaay, ooh"...
Yeah, I can see why some guys
are kind of afraid to like girly things.
It's kind of hurtful, though, when they insist on hating
us as people because we enjoy this thing.
That's why a lot of people don't dare to watch it
because of the feeling of embarrassment.
A lot of people, when the intro starts, it's like:
"Turn the volume down!"
and then they turn it up again right after the intro is over.
A lot of people think it's embarrassing since it reminds them of
the good old days, when the My Little Pony commercials would air.
"My little poony!"
My favourite pony has since the very beginning been Rainbow Dash,
*Rainbow Dash*, and...
Twilight Sparkle!
I have a hard time deciding, as I
I like both Rarity and Fluttershy equally.
I actually like all of them almost identically,
but Rainbow Dash sort of stands out.
She's just so cool!
