Hi. I'm female, but I wish you'd reconsider hating the "bronies", because my baby brother is one -- precisely because he was never allowed to like the original MLP openly at school. Have you considered that guys might actually the disadvantaged group for once? It wasn't little girls who got beat up for having an Applejack toy.

At the same time "girl gamers" get made fun off for "trying to be speshul".
There is no shame in being a male MLP fan and I'm really glad your brother can finally have fun with MLP toys, honestly.

But why do you need to call yourself a "special fan" to distinguish yourself from the other fans? What's the difference between a male and a female MLP fan, except most male fans nowadays make it a habit of proclaiming how manly MLP is just so they can feel good about watching it? MLP is girly, there is nothing wrong with that and men can like girly things.

I have nothing against the term "brony", I think it's cute. It's the bronies trying to be different from the female fans that kind of irks me.

Okay, that makes more sense to me. It seems like we have run into vastly different bronies all trying to be part of the same herd. Saying MLP is "manly" to feel good about watching it sounds rather silly (though for what it's worth, the people I've known to say "I AM A MAN AND I WATCH MLP!" were not saying that because they were trying to say the show is Now Acceptably Manly. They meant to say "I don't care if you think I'm weird, fuck off!")

that all comes down to discrimination against women, though. People think liking girl things when you're not a girl is "bad" because being a girl itself is "bad". Men are expected to be "better" than that, see?

It's really shitty that your brother was picked on! Those kids should be ashamed of themselves.
