A great encounter with a non-brony stranger. · 4:44am Aug 19th, 2012
So this Friday I wore one of my Brony shirts to school, this one being the pretty common one that says "Brony" on it and has a flying Rainbow Dash under the word. I walked into chemistry to sit my backpack down and prepared to go sharpen my pencil when the next student walked in. I didn't know who he was, but he noticed my shirt and was quick to say, "I don't get bronies." I kind of chuckled and said that I knew the show wasn't for everyone, when the guy behind me then asked this guy what Bronies were. Then I watched as this non-brony dude, who could have easily made Bronies sound like freaks, gave an incredibly fair and respectable definition. He said that it's guys that like My Little Pony for it's plot, humor, characters, etc, and that do a bunch of fan works and stuff for charity. He told him about how people like Andrew W.K. and Seth Green were bronies, and then, the part that stuck out most of all to me, was how he ended his definition by emphasizing that "There's nothing wrong with them, and the majority of them are completely normal straight guys. They just like My Little Pony."
I was impressed. This dude could have told the guy whatever he wanted, and the guy would have probably believed him, but he instead gave a fair and honest answer. It actually brought a smile to my face that they did that. It was quite the nice moment, and made me glad to see not all non-bronies who are aware of the fandom don't think of us in a negative light.
But then after all that nice stuff there was another guy in the class that was like, "Hurr durr, they're all gay and do gay stuff, and the show is gay, and they fap to horses, lololololol."
>Mfw that guy:
Nice picture of my stepmom.
That sounds awesome. I wish there were more people like that in the world, who can respect other people EVEN IF THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEM OR THEIR INTERESTS.
Man I wish there were more people like him.
My hope for humanity has been restored.
