WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:03.980 --> 00:00:07.100 A large part of you is surely my permanent subscribers, 00:00:07.100 --> 00:00:09.460 but if you came here to get to know what, 00:00:09.460 --> 00:00:12.840 or rather who is the community of Bronies, you’ve found the right place. 00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:17.100 At the beginning, I warn you that you should forget all stereotypes you know. 00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:21.180 I hope this video will show the community of Bronies as it really is. 00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.340 Let’s start with quotation definition of the word Brony: 00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:37.680 Brony is generally an active fan of series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, 00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:41.400 usually not children, but teenager or grown-up. 00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:48.260 In use there’s also version made for female fans of series: pegasister (short- pegasis). 00:00:48.260 --> 00:00:52.160 If someone hasn’t known this word yet, he can be confused… 00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:55.140 because how can adult men be fans of ponies? 00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:57.020 Actually, no one really knows. 00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:58.840 According to me, it’s thanks to the series, 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:00.920 that stands out from novadays cartoons. 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.600 This series has so powerful message, that it could attract grown-ups. 00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:08.880 We should point out that version Frienship Is Magic is so-called fourth generation, 00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:10.920 because there were four generations before, 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.240 of whichone of them was generation 3,5. 00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:14.860 It was too mawkish world. 00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:18.160 However, after this setback, 00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:24.260 it came Lauren Faust, who had made animations such as The Powerpuff Girls or Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. 00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:25.060 And what has she done? 00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:26.140 Revolution. 00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:32.020 She made series My Little Pony from scratch and the final result shook the world. 00:01:32.020 --> 00:01:35.960 People started to make a lot of content tied to this series. 00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:40.780 The numer of fanfictions, arts, music and other stuff suprised the creators. 00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:45.460 They didn’t expect that teenagers and adult men would become group of recivers. 00:01:45.460 --> 00:01:47.720 It was simply inconceivable for them. 00:01:47.720 --> 00:01:52.580 In Poland, series has been released on 15th October 2011, 00:01:52.580 --> 00:01:56.480 but people form Poland got interested in it much earlier. 00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:02.220 Later, series, like virus, was infecting more and more people and made the fandom of Bronies bigger. 00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:06.320 It became one of the most recognizable fandoms, after Furry and manga’s fans. 00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:10.260 Adult men and women started to dress up as colorful ponies. 00:02:10.260 --> 00:02:15.300 They were buying plush toys, figurines, cups and pillows, which weren’t targeted to children. 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.140 Portals, blogs, forums were popping up like mushrooms. 00:02:20.140 --> 00:02:24.440 Unfortunately, we must admit that we’re only shadow of that great fandom. 00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:26.520 Maybe I complain, but it’s truth. 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.760 But it doesn’t change the fact that the range of fandom is still huge and global. 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:38.320 I mention adult men, buying plush toys, and I guess you imagined typical transvestite, 00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:40.820 whereas I think that the amount of people like this in fandom is negligible. 00:02:40.820 --> 00:02:45.900 Some of your friends may be Bronies or Pegasis and you don’t know it, 00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:49.380 because in fact they don’t stand out from community. 00:02:49.380 --> 00:02:54.040 We should mention the fact that people rejected by socjety because 00:02:54.040 --> 00:02:56.000 of their character or appearance often become Bronies. 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.100 Fandom is for them like warm blanket to wrap up. 00:02:59.100 --> 00:03:01.980 Do you want a proof thet normal people join us? 00:03:01.980 --> 00:03:04.880 I’ll give you exaples of stars, who are Bronies. 00:03:04.880 --> 00:03:08.300 I guess you all know the founder of Valve- Gabe Newell. 00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:14.380 So now a suprise- he’s Brony, about what he talked in one of his films. 00:03:14.380 --> 00:03:17.300 Every film I mention you’ll find in description. 00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:23.420 Suprised? It’s not the end, the next adult who watches ponies is te creator of Minectaft- Notch. 00:03:28.380 --> 00:03:29.760 Calm down and breath. 00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:32.800 As I said, there are many people who watch this series. 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.580 At the end I’ll mention one more person, who is a meme till today, and his name is 00:03:40.820 --> 00:03:43.940 However, it’s a little far-fetched statement, 00:03:43.940 --> 00:03:47.540 because in fact during one of his fights he played a scene from the series, 00:03:47.540 --> 00:03:48.800 and the fandom pounced on him. 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:54.440 However, there’s someone to replace him, because wrestler CM Punk boasted that he’s Brony, 00:03:54.440 --> 00:03:57.260 wearing a t-shirt with the mark of the one of the main characters. 00:03:57.260 --> 00:04:01.080 I hope I convinced you that normal people can be Bronies too. 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.420 So now think whether it’worth to be Brony. 00:04:04.420 --> 00:04:06.920 If you decide, don’t worry 00:04:06.920 --> 00:04:10.180 Video about why and how to become Brony will appear soon. 00:04:10.180 --> 00:04:11.820 So stay here longer.
