ayrt

Both things happened to me. When I first got into fandom I was told I absolutely couldn't call myself a brony. I think "pegasister" sounds silly so I went with "pony-fan".

Cue a few months later and I got fans telling me I AM a brony, no ifs or buts about it, omg why won't you admit you like the show, we have to show solidarity no matter what other fans do~.

And then I stayed the hell away from the fandom.

Yeah, that's a bad set of experiences. I'm sorry that happened to you. =(

I don't really do much with the online fandom. irl I've encountered a variety of people - some I liked, some not so much or in-between.

Maybe the reason it has such a bad reputation is you'd expect the fandom to be so much nicer...but it's just as wanky and messed up as any other fandom =/

ayrt (who was supposed to be nyart in my previous post, whoops)

You know, I think that's a huge reason for the backlash. I know several bronies are protesting about having "love and tolerate" applied to them because it's not true, but it was kinda their motto for a long time.

I think another reason is its size. It's as wanky and messed up as other fandoms, but it's so big that it's much more noticeable.

Very valid point. Makes me think of the Homestuck fandom. It's huge and full of wtf-ery because it's so huge, and many people won't go near it.
