They are grown men attending and interfering with conventions historically geared toward females, many of whom have been My Little Pony fans for decades now. I find the brony's sense of entitlement to be egotistical, ignorant, and disrespectful to the older fans of the series and would advise brony's everywhere to do their research before talking about the show.

Plenty of great things have terrible fanbases. You've heard about its relation to Powerpuff Girls, right? Watch this clip and tell me you don't agree that it's a wonderfully animated, surprisingly good family show:



Besides, most bronies are pretty chill (and good at coming up with sweet musical mixes!).

Apparently the bronies that go to these things only talk about the newest show and don't know anything about any of the older series. This somehow ruins it for older fans who are more into the previous incarnations. I like the new show but think the older ones are hideous and creepy, so it's not like I'm, like, Team Old My Little Pony Fans, but it does seem pretty jerkish of the bronies to act that way at these things.

Also this is my only complaint about bronies. So far...

This doesn't seem like a very good reason to get upset. This kind of thing happens in most fandoms. It's just veterans being cranky in my opinion.

I really like the reboot of Doctor Who from 2005 but I'm not terribly interested in going back and watching the old stuff from the 60s. Does that mean I'm ruining the fandom for the veteran WhoFans?

Mario has bright colours, cutesy cartoon-esque characters and is the story of a hero saving a princess. It is a game for children.

Adults should be playing games like Modern Warfare and Grand Theft Auto, because it has guns, blood and swearing.


And that still doesn't sound as good as Space Ghost.

I adore the show, but the brony phenomenon always struck me as EXTREMELY pretentious.

I've said this before, but Lauren Faust's goal was to create a cartoon that wasn't just a half hour toy commercial exclusively for little girls, but something that can be enjoyed by the parents who watch television with their children. She succeeded, and that's pretty obvious, but the whole "brony" thing kind of soils it. It's less about "I'm a fan of this show" and more about "I'm a teenaged/young adult male who enjoys cartoons for little girls and PROUD OF IT, HORSE POWER SO OPEN MINDED."

It goes beyond a fandom label. Anyone can be a Twihard or a Pott Head. (Or however many Ts they include, I don't know) It takes a very specific criteria to be considered a brony.
