You are still a brony if you like the show. Even if you're putting being a faggot at the forefront of your personality in an attempt to hide it.

Did we all go through that extreme autistic phase where we were like the bronies we so very hate? /mlp/ curved me of that, but I fear for my life if I never came here.
>>
>>19302283
I know how you feel. When I was a junior and a senior in high school I publicly revealed I watched the show to my classmates.
I cringe hard now that I even considered doing that.
>>
>>19302343
>>19302283
When I first got into the show, I ranted and raved all about tyrantlestia and trollestia to one of my friends

I die from the disease of death every time I think about it.
>>
>>19302283
If it weren't for /mlp/, I'd still be a bro hoofing faggot lol'ing at mlb
>>

If it weren't for /mlp/, I'd still be fapping to humans
/mlp/ is the reason why I cant still get laid
>>
>>19302518
Humans are cliche anyway
>>
>>19302283
I certainly had that initial excitable phase when I began watching the show (even going to mylittlebrony).

I never bought into the whole love and tolerance hugboxing though. So I reckon most who at least somewhat think like that would probably eventually make their way here at some point.

One thing /mlp/ did actually do for me though was show me the sheer levels of hypocrisy and utter faggotry that was beginning to run rampant throughout much of the fandom.
I suppose it was inevitable anyway...

During a break from highschool - summer, I think - I had a week or two home alone looking after the livestock while my parents went to our timeshare in Hawaii. Since no one was around to care and electricity's cheaper at night, I adopted pic related sleep cycle.
I cooked a mishmash of rice, cheddar, & meat, and decided to turn off the Judas Priest so I could stimulate one more sense by streaming something on Netflix. I saw FiM on Recently Added, and remembered hearing about it - mostly bitching about the cancerous fans. I figured I'd give it a shot.
Twilight's exasperation at Spike's limited vocabulary when he was taking her letter to Sunbutt in the pilot sold me, since it mirrored 90% of conversations I had in highschool. In retrospect, it wasn't THAT funny, but sleep madness and an energy rush from late night adrenaline + rich food made me giddy at the show. And the ride never stopped... A couple days after I ran out of episodes, I started consuming fan content. The ride hasn't stopped since, though it's taken me until the next season starts to finish the second half of the previous season since 3. Mostly because I hate cringe comedy.

Some of us do. I imagine we're getting past our insecurity about the term. Of course, there are also a lot of newfags around, who will hopefully learn to lurk more.

Wise words. I think you may still be a bit of a faggot, though. Work on your spelling and don't make such a big deal about liking the show.
>>
>>19304210
Nah, I think a lot of people here started calling themselves bronies again in response to the whole tumblr drama where SJWs kept on insisting ponyfans not call themselves "bronies" because the word had become "tainted".

There was also that whole "official pony thread" rebirth that happened a while back when some anons decided they liked the culture more back in the olden days of /b/ and /co/ and wanted to return to that. It didn't last long at all.

Faustard at least has a good excuse for existing. There have been a metric ton of threads about how the show is ruined forever and they only get more common and pointless with each new season, so the term grew in popularity as a way to combat them. I think most people are running out of patience for the doomsaying and arguments that arise when we try to discuss the show, so they're turning to less intellectual methods to pass the time. Of course, the massive increase in the newfag population over the last month or two hasn't helped, and it's made the board much more painfully stupid than usual.

I can't really remember how I got into the show. I remember seeing the threads on /b/ but never really paying attention, and then when the board was created I checked it out just to see if there was really a whole board just for a childrens show. Ended up really liking the animation and characters, and now I'm here.

I own no merch, and I keep my power level buried deep down.
