Just sharing a post I made on Facebook here.

Sometimes I wish bronies were widely accepted. I mean, don't get me wrong, Frozen is a great movie but it was badly rushed in some parts, contains more of romantic love than its actual theme (family), and has a lot of plot holes (I know a short is coming, but from the looks of it, it won't eplain any of the answers I look for), but look at it. It's been almost one year and all the hype hasn't died down a single bit. I'm not saying it's perfect and it has no haters/dislikers, but look at its fandom, it's widely accepted.

Sure, when you hear "ponies" it might sound, as people often call it, "gay", girly, childish--BUT that's just a common misconception about the show. It talks about not only friendship, but also situations that you can relate to real life, like family concerns (sibling-to-sibling hate/love relationship); it has relateable and realistic main characters; it is usually well-paced and while it hasn't revealed a lot about its past/history, there are still seasons to be released and a movie as well (so I wouldn't call it 'plot holes' just yet); and it's not as girly as you think.

Tell me, do dragons, manticores, a demon that wants to take over the world (and has a super freaky transformation), three sirens who have been banished to the human world but still have powers and has a more freaky transformation, a villain who is the entity of chaos itself, a villain who was so close to retrieving his previously fulfilled monarchy, a villain who feeds on love and defeated even the most god-like character in the show, and a villain sent to literal hell but escaped and grew into a humungous centaur who feeds on strength, flying abilities and magical powers and who was close to achieving his goal again, sound THAT girly and childish to you?

I don't see why you shouldn't at least respect it, if not give it a chance. You could accept One Direction, Adevnture Time, Wreck-it-Ralph, why not just accept this as well?

And why bash the others who like it? Seriously, what is wrong with liking this glob damn show? Have YOU even TRIED to watch some of the newer, better episodes? The answer is most likely no, so why are you so bent on your unfair judgement that it's "gay"?

It isn't as bad as it sounds, people."

Ah, for me, it's not the show itself. I love the show to pieces, it's super cute, the songs are amazingggg, and all the characters are just really fleshed out. (Princess Luna is my fave pony <3)

Buuut the reason I consider myself not part of the fandom is because of the fandom itself. There are too many bronies that get butthurt about others not liking the show, I'm seriously disgusted by the fact that there are GROWN ADULT MEN who get off to porn of CUTE PASTEL PONIES. WHAT THE FUCK. That is just so messed up, in my opinion, it's akin to pedophilia and bestiality... *shudders*

I used to be a brony myself (never liked the term 'pegasister') and I never found it creepy at all that men would watch the show, I even found it cool, in fact. My parents were creeped out by it and now that I've grown away from the fandom and taken a long hard look at everything, I too realize that it's just incredibly creepy....

Also, another thing, pretty much everything has been ponified.... It's really annoying :/
