bronies embrace their fandom, so idk if they've ever been embarrassed by it.

It taught me to be honest with myself.

Yea, Kindergarteners all over were being dissed left and right. Thankfully, they graduated to the superior Carebear crew and things have slowly settled down.

I still remember how they laid siege to the innocent and prosperous land of Gmod.
We tried to fight them for a while they were dead set on seeing their infestation through.

Around 2014 I started to feel less like they were leering over my shoulder, taking aim at every thing I liked and the second hand embarrassment kicked in. "Oh that must be so embarrassing, being a brony in 2014, having spent four straight years on that." I'd think.
And here we are now.

The funniest part of the brony stuff was the sheer amount of them that ended up falling into alt right stuff. I get why it happened but the concept of the cartoon pony guys who demanded everyone be nice to each other ending up crazy white nationalists is hilarious

That was literally 10 years ago.

Dubstep and MLP, the evil duo of early 2010's cringe.

It was never embarrassing because being a brony didn't make up my entire being? It was just a happy show that made me feel a little less depressed?

I feel like a few of the fans took their fandom too far and sorta stole the show from the little girl target audience. The thing reminded me of that episode of Hey Arnold where the kids find this junked up empty lot to play in. They cleaned it up and had a great place to call their own when the adults came in and took it all over for themselves.

Hey, people can like whatever cartoons they want even as adults. Not that I've ever watched it because it's for little girls.

>_> guess I'm kind of a hypocrite

A person can choose to abstain from something and still recognize that others have a right to indulge if they please.

@Ikzai

How do you steal a show?

Little girls can still watch it.

i mean have you seen how adults treat children fans of anything

millinials (im a millinial) are doing all they can to take star wars away from kids for example

and again im a fan of MLP and i can tell you their are segments of the fandom who hate anything "girly" in it

I was a hardcore fan for about two seasons, enjoyed fan art, music, etc. Family was splitting up and it was therapeutic to watch happy little bright ponies going about their lives.

More embarrassing to care so much what other people enjoy.
