So you told him that MLP fans call themselves Bronies, and then neglected to tell him all the rest that they're associated with, and just watch him run around calling himself 'brony?' Bit of an asshole, aren't you? What're you gonna do for an encore, "casually mention" to him that there's a group of people who really like kids that call themselves NAMBLA?

[hiyami]

All I know about My Little Pony and fandom comes from online discussions about the fans in places like F!S.
And until this thread I had never seen this assumption that brony = fan who does associate to the rape apologist trend, or even that the rape apology was so big in the fandom.

Whenever mentioned, it looked like just some niche places that did that. I've seen enough fan tribes being lumped as all crazies to not give it credit unless it's backed up. Individuals =/= everyone.

I can see how someone who just likes the show and doesn't go online to share it wouldn't be aware of it.

Your analogies are a bit weird here, but I agree with you.
It's like mentioning to someone who likes Looney Tunes that those who do are called "Furries". Who the fuck does that?

My boyfriend watches MLP with me and loves it. He even owns a toy. He bought it himself because she is his favorite character.
But I would never tell him he should call himself a "Brony". I think he doesn't even know that there is this mostly male subculture surrounding the cartoon.

He isn't in fandom and in our country the "Brony phenomenon" doesn't exist. There are Bronies, but they are never in the news or anything, haha.

Seriously, friends don't let friends unwittingly identify with messed-up subcultures.

[diet_poison]

Honest question: who is it hurting if he calls himself that?

[visp]

Himself, when people give him the side-eye because they think he's knowingly identifying with Bronies.

[diet_poison]

But I don't think that's his fault. It's the fault of the people who think "bronies" is some kind of unified thing and that everyone who calls themself that is a horrible person.

This is kind of a circular argument. I don't think we are going to agree.

How is everybody supposed to know at all times what all bronies are associated with? I mean, I've heard the term "brony" a shit ton of times, and I have no idea why they're hated, or what they did to apparently deserve all that hate. Saying "all bronies are x because just being part of that fandom means they're condoning what other people in the fandom are doing" is exactly the kind of shit that causes idiots to make assumptions about people based on race, or gender, or religion.
