    On the contrary Marino, I've heard social scientists discussing that the Brony fandom is actually a fascinating case-study. Rarely are they able to investigate/analyze a sub-culture as easily as the Brony fandom. This is mostly thanks to the Internet, I believe.

    Yeah, given how "everwhere" the Internet is these days it is easy to study things like this .

    Sounds kind of interesting, though .

    Hmm...i guess i'll tell you how my Friends and Family reacted to this Pony stuff then .

    So some time ago i got into this Show, i decided to watch it together with my Cousin, he liked it .
    That was all there was to it . I didn't tell anyone else, not because i was ashamed of it or anything but because why the f*ck should i ?
    My Friends don't tell me what Series' they watch either .

    Anyway, my Cousin got mad at me for something (I didn't spend much time with him at that time i think) and began telling everyone that i'm a Pony *** .

    A few of my Friends asked me what it was about and i told them that i watch it with my Cousin and that's all there is to it .
    They said something like "Whatever floats your boat, man ." .

    Same with my Parents . Just that they don't understand it and i didn't bther to explain it to them .

    Of course i get trash talk for it but that's what Friends do .

    My Cousin is a prick and i told him to go f*ck himself if he's such a backstabing b!tch .

    So, yeah, now my Cousin is a Pony *** and i'm still me, yay .

    My friend at work didn't believe me when I told him and I had to show proof and look at him in the eyes and tell him. But he doesn't mind.
    I didn't have to convince my best friend that I like MLP. He believed me spot on. And he doesn't mind.

    My brother, mom and dad on the other hand they despise that I like the show. They poke fun of me when I bring it up or watch it. What the fluck!?

    A lot of my friends are surprised that I actually watch the show because I don't look like someone that would enjoy MLP. They don't really care though, I'm not big on the fandom so I rarely talk about it to anyone.

    I suppose that sort of stuff always seems odd to me since my family is so distant, we live in the same house and go days to a week without speaking to each other.  So it just always seems strange to me when people share these things with their family members.

    "Days to a week?" And I thought I had a strained relationship with my family, albeit I never broached the MLP topic with my family mostly because I don't see a need but also because I'm not sure how they would take it so it does potentially save me a massive headache.

    I'll admit that's a little extreme, but it's not entirely unbelievable. When I was still living with my family we only ever had 2 conversations regularly. "How was school," and "what are we doing for dinner tonight?" Other than that we all just kept to ourselves and did our own things. Anything else of importance was generally separated by a few days or weeks. It's not that far of a stretch to me to think that there's families out there who decide not to bother with those kinds of "asking just for the sake of saying something" conversations. Not that I'd like that lifestyle personally, as I feel even if the conversations were kinda meaningless they did at least keep us all in contact with each other, but I can't say it's unrealistic.

    Looping back around to MLP, my family still doesn't know despite it being almost 2 and a half years of me being a brony. I can't seem to bring myself to just flat-out say it. My little sister is aware of what bronies are, though, so I've been trying to drop hints through conversations with her when we're with the family and talking about general internet stuff to try and get them to ask me about it so I don't have to feel awkward just flat-out saying "I am a brony" with no context. It's not really catching on though straight face

    I'm usually quite and reserved when I'm with my family. (Which is basically all the time.) I do talk some. But it's definitely not much.

    I barely talk to my family at all, we have brief discussions with each other but I can't call that conversation and since my family's views and values are completely different from mine I can say any actual conversation wouldn't end well to begin with.

    Since no one likes to talking to their family, here, I'll serve as a surrogate daddy (or mommy, if that's your biggest issue)...

    It's a light hearted and funny show with good Animation and catchy songs .

    It got so popular because it vastly exceeded expectations, and when everybody expects it to be sh!t like the previous incarnations of the My little Pony franchise then it is surprising when it didn't suck .

    Theses days the Show has so many fanboys that treat the Show like it's Jesus so that People who want to watch it now end up being dissapointed .

    I'd say you should watch it yourself, it's just a Cartoon .
    If you're not hooked after 3 Episodes drop it .
    I recommend watching "Mare in the Moon" Part 1 and 2 and "Bridle Gossip" .

    I already tried... It's... Uh... Yeah.

    The thing I don't get is, out of all things, why this?

    I mean, the songs really aren't different than other shows meant for kids. The characters don't seem like they fit together whatsoever, and the story is, to me, nonexistent. It's made like a kids show, where things from previous episodes don't hold up because kids' attention spans can't keep up. To me it's like playing a bad game just because it has good graphics.
