I guess in some people it would be understandable, but it's not a good sign if he gets visibly upset over it. No offence to your father, but that usually isn't a thing one wants to see happen.I don't think he is upset and and only said once recently to stop wearing that link pony on your belt, and says people gave me weird reactions. I told my dad to Love and tolerate the fact I'm a brony, and I'm sure he is still confused to all of this. I think he is more concerned about my self esteem than machoness since my dad cares for me deeply and doesn't care about what makes a "man" or not..

Sumiki Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I explained what a brony was to my parents when Stephen Colbert gave us another shoutout on his show a few nights ago (then smirked when he said that he didn't know what a brony was [he's totally one]), and there where highly concerned that any male for any reason would ever watch My Little Pony.I guess I'm staying in the brony-closet for a little while longer.

Rarity Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well, to be honest, grown men liking a little girls show is kind of odd. But MLP isn't that much like a little kids show.

Angel Beat Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Oh, it's definitely for the little tykes.It's just that Studio B treats the little ones much more intelligently than other studios tend to treat their core audiences.And the parental bonuses are awesome.

Protodite Karzahni Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 My parents found out about "bronyism" when they went through the Sky+ box and found a couple of episodes I'd forgotten to delete. It was a little uncomfortable, as a really awkward silence followed. I then got the "If you're gay, there's no need to hide it" talk, which was...Just a bit inappropriate, given a cartoon isn't any kind of indicator.But besides from that, they've just kind of ignored it. I think they feel too awkward to bring it up. Well, except for that one time my mum decided to tell my sister. More awkward silences followed. Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay.

Bundalings Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Interestingly enough, surveys indicate that a higher percentage of bronies are gay than is the human average. Still, a significantly higher portion are straight. Quote I want to THRIVE Not just survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZCoolness Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I don't really think it matters if anyone who watches MLP is gay or not. Let's just stop the conversation about types of marriage and move on, please.Anyway, I haven't had a hard time with revealing I'm a Brony. My school is swarming with them, so it's not too surprising to anypony else to find another one. My parents were originally confused by it, and my dad still teases me about it sometimes, but for the most part, they don't care. I've pretty much completely come out of the closet without any sort of trouble, and that's a good thing. Granted, of course, I live in Utah, which is really different from anywhere else, so of course I'm not going to have a hard time.

Protodite Karzahni Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) At my college, I know there's about a handful of bronies. Of course, as is expected of me, I'm too nervous to approach them, so I just let them slip by unnoticed. Edited April 11, 2012 by The Wretched Automaton Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay.

BZCoolness Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 The best way that I've found is to hint at it over time, then increase the amount of revelation bit by bit. For example, you casually mention that you've heard about Bronies, then you hang one of those McPonies that was released not too long ago on your pack (or whatever you carry around with you most of the day), then eventually reveal you're a Brony. If you reveal it all at once, people won't react well. If you reveal it bit by bit, people won't actually be upset about it, mostly because you've been dropping hints about it for some time.

Let's just stop the conversation about types of marriage and move on, please.Nobody mentioned marriage.And nobody in my family knows my love for ponies or even knows what a brony is. My brother might know but I kinda doubt it. Even if he did, he probably wouldn't care.The only reason why I haven't told them yet is because my bronydom is directly tied in with the fact that I've completely come out as trans online but not in real life. I could tell them that I like the show but I can't show them the art or music I have made or even my identity online because I've got everything set to 'female' and it would be extremely awkward to come out as transsexual who likes a show for little girls all at once.

I mentioned earlier about my parents giving me "the talk" and it was even more awkward, because I am actually bi. I just didn't confess then because I didn't want them to think the two were related. Of course, I know transsexuality is a much bigger thing than just being bi, but I'm just saying is all. Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay.

kalhiki Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well, it'd help if I actually knew these people. I just see them in shirts every now and again. I can't walk up to a random group of people and just announce I watch the same cartoon as them. If you see one wearing a Pony shirt just say casually "nice shirt". Be careful, though. You wouldn't want to sound like you're teasing them.So, yeah. Pretty much everyone in my family knows. Parents and brother enjoy the show, sisters are a little confused. Three friends know, one being a fan (I think he still is), one being familiar with the show, and the other refuses to become a Brony.So, back to my sisters. They think it's weird I watch MLP, but they don't find it odd that they (who are both in their twenties) can watch Yo Gabba Gabba.Wut? Kalhiki Quote You're Doomed, Rayman!Boy!
