Master Inika Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (I was kidding, btw.) I'm a totally straight brony.Hey, which do you think makes a guy less desirable to women?

I didn't even know there was Bionicle fan stereotypes. There are now. :PWell, as far as my experience goes, they're both pretty undesirable to women. Although that might just be me. :PBut, no, I reckon Bionicle is the least desirable. At least there's a chance they might find MLP cute.

Skarloth Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 FiM.Bionicle actually gets you women. http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png(not really)So, guys, what do you enjoy more, Bionicle, or FiM?QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, OH SO MANY QUESTIONS. As far as the community goes, I'm going to have to say FiM. Even though I was really a part of the Bionicle community for about... three full years, I'm going to have to say the Brony community has been more... friendly? Happy? It's something the Bionicle community isn't, so I'll leave it at that. As far as story and merchandise goes... I think Bionicle. The toys were something I could actually play with, and create with as well. MLP just isn't. The story line was just so diverse too, so huge; and I could actually comprehend it, so I knew what was going on through the years.FiM is great by itself, its toyline... not so much. It's the show that everyone is into, not the merchandise. SO, IT SEEMS... I'm split on the question. The two are great franchises, both of which I love. -Skar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zok: Insane Math Wizard Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Continuing with the discussion with everyone and their opinion on Bronies, I am a perfectly straight brony, and I am actually proud of it. My parents know it, my sister knows it, my friends know it, and I think my grandparents know it. Most of them do not care (case-in-point: parents, sister and a few friends), and some of my friends are actually bronies, which has made my life all the happier. I don't really care what other people think of me. I actually have very high self-esteem, as noticed by a lot of people. Heck, I even sang "Never Gonna Give You Up" in front of a live audience. MLP has actually taught me not to judge people, and I should tolerate others. Also, I think that MLP may be a female fall back, especially if they don't know about the show or brony content in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa of Dancing Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I tell pretty much everyone I'm a brony. I'm straight. I like Bionicle more, but I do love me ponies.Any more questions?

ZTG Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Both are equal in my book.Bionicle would get you more girls (if they didn't like bronies) but showing that you are a brony an you don't care what anyone thinks show confidence which I think a girl wants in a guy, someone who is not afraid to say why he likes or does and who can stand up to haters and what not.Bionicle shows an interest in both story and collection. The story shows you are itelligent or love literature or at least an awesome story, but the collection thing I domt think a girl looks for.However, Bionicle fans are nerds to Bionicle and the social doesn't take kindly to nerds (mainly in high school) and being a briny makes other people think your weird or gay or immature.So I don't think either will help, but they can depending if the girl is a pegasister or knows Bionicle or likes story or the fact a guy is confident in oneself and can stand up for others(since bronies do help newer bronies escape the Internet trolls or like me, I defend those who people think are weird or gay when thy aren't) Quote "Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.

I hate that having a solid knowledge of a subject makes you socially unacceptable.It's mainly the highschool social that he colpret of this, the high school social system is so superficial and stupid. It's even worse with bronies but it's a null effect to bronies cause they/we have learned to love and tolerate.Bionicle fans aren't as neglected, but hardcore fans like myself get picked on. However, when one socially weird interest is paired with being a brony, you have no care in the world what people think! Which is why bronies on Bzp are great examples of bronies who don't care about what people say about them or what other things hey like.

GAY AS HECK Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Honestly, based on personal experience from both fandoms, I'd like someone more if they were into MLP rather than Bionicle.I've seen far more Bionicle fans be close-minded about LGBT issues than MLP fans, and representing pretty much every letter in LGBT in a certain perspective, that's quite important to me.I've also had a much more positive experience in the 8 months of being in the MLP fandom than the 6-7 years of being in the Bionicle fandom. I've tried so many new things being a brony than I have being a Bionicle fan. Not only do I have many new friends but many fans who like my work. Sure I've had fans here but not nearly as many.BUT ENOUGH ABOUT MY POPULARITYA lot of Bionicle fans I've met are wonderful people and I've met plenty of friends through the franchise but it's something I've moved on from and doesn't hold as nearly as much significance to me as MLP does now. So if I were have to choose between someone to date from the Bionicle fandom and the MLP fandom, I'm most likely gonna choose the one who likes MLP (assuming there are no other factors involved like the MLP fan abusing small animals for fun or something). Not only would we have something to talk about but there would be something meaningful behind it.At least for me.What was the question again?

Rarity Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Oh, I never answered my own question.I prefer... Bionicle. The Bionicle fans I've met have been less weird, and don't tend to make so many messes up things. >.>And if I had to chose to date someone bases on MLP or Bionicle... I'd go with MLP.The girls over met that like MLP are a LOT hotter.So guys, say MLP gets cancelled, but you can bring it or Bionicle back. Which one do you chose?I take Bionicle.

Toa of Dancing Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Bionicle for me, because it was the latter half of my childhood.Anyways, on this discussion of girls and MLP/Bionicle... Honestly, I wouldn't go for a girl that wasn't fine with my like of either. If I'm planning on spending the rest of my life with this girl, I don't need there to be tension between silly likes and dislikes. Seriously, it's a show and a toyline. If a girl you like can't deal with it, then you probably shouldn't like her. The right type of girl will like you for who you are, and hopefully you like her for who she is. And, of course (despite my being utterly repulsed by their alignment, TBH), this goes for people of other sexual orientation in their relationships.But anyways, this isn't the "How to Find a Girlfriend" topic, it's the MLP topic. So... ponies. XD Edited April 12, 2012 by Toa of Dancing Quote This is a signature that describes me as a person.

ZTG Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Last opinion in girlfriend thing, mlp helps get girls since there are more girl fans in mlp than Bionicle.

Keizah the Kaleidoscope Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Since I'm an adult who works with kids, I really don't have the luxury of being open about being a brony. Given certain...legal cases involving children...most parents would get very suspicious of me if they found out I like MLP. It's stupid that I have to bend over backwards because of stereotypes, but I guess that's just how things have to be. Anyway, as for the current discussion, I agree that Bronies tend to be more open-minded and cheerful in general (Derpgate notwithstanding). However, I think that lady-types would be more likely to view Bionicle as something harmless, particularly if you preface it as "something you were into as a kid." Wow, almost an hour and a half of time between posts, yet I still get ninja'd.
