Brony Advice: Your Questions Answered #97, 98, 99!

#97) I am an open brony with everyone, except my parents. I'd tell them, but my dad will not approve. He even disapproved and called me gay when I was really into "Phineas and Ferb". Imagine if he found out [about "Friendship is Magic"]! There's no way he would approve. But I want to buy merchandise, shirts, and other stuff. So what do you think I should do about telling my parents?

Answer: Your dad sounds like a royal prick. I don't know what his upbringing was like, but your sexuality isn't defined by watching a simple TV show. "Phineas and Ferb" might be geared towards an audience younger than yourself, but I'm not sure why it would be co

#110) What would you say are the biggest misconceptions society at large has about the MLP fan community? Also, what would you say are the worst assumptions society has made about MLP fans that, unfortunately, are generally true?

Answer: I'm not sure how aware of the MLP fandom society at large is, and so I'd first point out that the majority of people do not, and will not ever, have any knowledge of the bronies. Those who do know of them, though, seem to have different perceptions, most of which appear to be negative. Having spoken to a few members of the public about "Friendship is Magic", a common misconception seems to be that the people

Brony Advice: Your Questions Answered #101/02/03!

#101) Why do so many bronies lie about their gender? So many (guys) pretend to be girls and it's weird. This one guy pretended he was a slutty girl pony so guys would sex roleplay with him and treat him nicer and flirt with him. Am I the only person who thinks this is creepy? You shouldn't lie about who you are, should you?

Answer: Of course you shouldn't lie about who you are. You should know everything about everyone. I don't befriend someone unless I know at least the following details: what their blood type is; where they grew up; if they have a history of heart failure in the family; when they started to walk; what their first word was

#94) I went to a brony meet-up and I thought it was pretty good fun until we went to Toys R Us. I was sceptical about a bunch of guys (no girls went to the meet) going to the little girl's section of the shop so I kept my distance and I'm glad I did – everyone there except for me became really creepily obsessive about the toys and it was embarrassing to be seen with them in the shop. After we left (I didn't buy anything and the girl on the till seemed really freaked out by us) I kind of felt awkward being seen with them and when they sang a song from the show really loudly at Pizza Hut I wanted to go home fast. What do you make of this?

Brony Advice: Your Questions Answered #113/14/15!

#113) Three months ago...I went to brony meet-up in my local area. I won't say where it was so it won't look bad on other bronies from the area but there were about 17 people there. One was a guy and he and me got on really well at the meet-up. We decided to meet up a few more times just the two of us. We met up three times and everything was fine. I found out he smoked pot and drank a lot at the third meeting and said I didn't like it but he was okay with that and I didn't mind too much. Anyway after that we were talking through Skype like normal but he was kind of excited to meet up again and he said he loved me. He lives about an hour and

#85) Why do bronies have such low self-esteem? On websites like Bronysquare and Ponysquare they're always wallowing in self-pity about how much their lives suck, and they come across as being really pathetic. Many of these people don't even know what suffering is. Even if their lives do suck the internet doesn't need to know about it!

Answer: While I'd like to say that people suffering from life problems should be able to receive help online, I do find myself getting annoyed by most of the excessively 'emo' internet comments I come across. I see bronies claiming that they're going to commit suicide more often than I'd like – I've never

Brony Advice: Your Questions Answered #107/08/09!

#107) So this isn't very easy for me to just come out and say to some guy I've never really talked to, but based on some of the answers I've read from you, you seem to know your stuff. You see, I have this really big problem right now. I seem to have a strange attraction--no, addiction, to Rainbow Dash. It's not a sexual attraction, it's a love attraction. The funny thing is I don't even like her personality. Well, at least in the show. The fan-fic versions of her are probably what tipped me towards her. But anyways, what I need is for some way, any way to get her out of my mind or something. I don't want to hate her, I just want to not be at

Brony Advice: Your Questions Answered #104/05/06!

#104) Aren't bronies and furries the exact same thing? I think it's funny that so many bronies get offended when they're compared to furries. I don't see furries getting quite as offended about the comparison. Hah.

Answer: This is really the million-dollar question: are bronies and furries the same thing? The answer is, awkwardly, a little bit of both. Let's set the cards upon the table: there are all sorts of variables that come into the equation when defining exactly what a brony is. That's the first difficulty; if a brony is merely an adult watching the show, then you can't effectively argue that they're furries by definition just for doi

My Little Pony: Orange-Cross Empire, Chapter 8

"Have you finished boxing them up?" he asked. I looked to the cardboard box and then back up to him. He had seen me tape them shut five minutes ago. I guess he was just being precise. I nodded and he patted the box with a hoof.

"Mr. Orange's workers will be here to pick them up soon," he explained. "Then they'll be sent to the warehouses in Manehattan."

"What happens then?" I asked. He was pretty quiet with his response, mumbling something under his breath. His attention was more occupied by the clock hanging on the wall of the shop floor. It was 17:38. He was pacing back and forth around the room. Finding his behaviour to be unsettling, I

Typical Brony Leaving the FandomI'm leaving the pony fandom;
I'm done with all the gossiping and the bitching,
The back-stabbing and the gender-switching
Between people who pretend they're something
They're not. [5]

I'm getting out of the fandom;
I'm sick of its porn and its gore,
Its darker side and its desire for more
To join the herd of egotistical pricks
Like them. [10]

I'm tired of this fandom;
I'm bored by endless proverbs and morals,
By the puffed-up glands of internet quarrels
Of who loves and tolerates in greater amounts
And wins. [15]

I've had it with this fandom;
I'm hateful towards drama and exaggeration,
Towards those who react to every situat

My Little Pony: Orange-Cross Empire, Chapter 6

"Are you ready to meet him?"
"I'm a little scared, actually."

It was natural for Farleigh to be fearful of meeting Mr. Orange. I had done my best to avoid filling her in on the more dangerous aspects of his behaviour – I had distinctly avoided mentioning the fact that his lackey had threatened me into my current position – and instead reasoned with her that he was a simple businesspony from Manehattan who would be employing the both of us. Nevertheless, she knew various things about Mr. Orange from hearsay and information acquired from sources other than myself, and she painted a picture of him as a reasonable, if enigmatic figure

Brony Advice is both an active collaboration with artists and an advice column, in the simplest of terms: I want you to send me notes if you have any problems, secrets or comments on the pony fandom of any nature. It doesn't matter how embarrassing, offensive or vicious they might be - if you want someone to comment on them in a rational way, send them over. Maybe there's something within the fandom that you particularly despise, or perhaps you're feeling sad and need to hear some friendly advice? Whatever the motive, send me a note with your comment or question.

I'll then respond with advice and commentary and post the answers up in future installments. Users will remain anonymous, so you don't need to worry about your feelings and thoughts getting out onto DeviantArt. You may find that some of the things that you've personally been feeling will be addressed.

Feel free to note me if you would like your questions and observations to be answered in an upcoming edition. Every edition will be engaging with three issues. The above three featured today were submitted by anonymous deviants.

~Vunlinur Feb 17, 2013 Student Digital Artist

I am very sorry for the person who wrote the question number 126. As for a fandom we theoretically get our base on love and tollerance, we're fucking intollerant. I pressume it's something wrong with those who make those "homophobic attacks from hundreds of bronies and even some death threats for turning their favorite ponies <into fags.>"
As You said above, i believe there are few levels of, let's say, bronyism? Some tend to not give a buck to the message from the show (friendship is magic) or the base itself (love and tolerate). But i know numerous bronies who do so, or at least try to, me for example. Unfortunately for this case, being a brony is self-called.
"People make the false assumption that bronies are all inherently kind and accepting people." - There, i pressume, You talk about bronies ourselves(myself)? Because from what i know, people in real haven't fully made their opinion on the fandom, but in the net the stereotypes are quite incredibly awful. It's the implication of the fact that a people gaining anonimity lose moral breaks.

I think i'm gonna watch You, these advices are surerly logical and reasonable.

~deathguard-lundmark Feb 13, 2013

I'm not sure why but it kind of bothers me that the second querent said she was an "LGTB person". Unless she's a lesbian, gay, transexual and bisexual at the same time she really could have just said she was a lesbian. For as long as I have been interested in MLP shipping almost all that I have seen is two girls.

Now a little bit of a rant on gay people. I've only known three gay people and two of them I think are cool people, nothing against them (third one I despise though). So I am fine with them on an individual basis but as a group I do not like them. I'm not saying they can't be be homosexual I'd just rather not know about it. It also bugs me that they complained about not being able to get married and there was an image I saw that said "Love is a human right, not a heterosexual privilege." I can't help but point out that you don't have to be married to be in love.

~Spartan-143 Feb 15, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Marriage is more than just being in love. Marriage is as much a part of our judicial system as it is a part of our culture. For example, if you married someone who ended up being shot for whatever reason they will only allow certain relatives in to see them while under intensive care, if at all. The mom, the dad, and the partner - which would be you, since you married the person - would be the only ones allowed in during this stage. If someone cannot marry their chosen partner, the person they love most could be dying and they would not have the lawful right to see them. This is not justice. This is cruelty.

Furthermore, some people are not comfortable explaining their gender/sex. The term "LGBT" is a catch-all that the average heterosexual such as yourself as identify as shortly, "not of heterosexuality." People express their sexuality is many different ways, and some of them can be quite complex. For the sake of being succinct she chose to just use "LGBT."

Finally, you said, "I'm not saying they can't be be homosexual I'd just rather not know about it." Keep this in mind every time you kiss your SO on a bench at the park, because there are homosexuals and heterosexuals alike who find even such tame act in public very rude. If you don't want to know about someone else's sexuality, you must also keep your sexuality to yourself. It's only fair.

*Neonthebabypegasi Feb 14, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

True, but I as a someone who can relate to them as I am Bisexual will make this point for your information. Most LGBT community members while that they violate one of the bible's biggest rules are still Christans,Cathoics,Jews,ect ect, and therfore in the view of they way they were raised they are committing a sin by being together and not being married, remember in most religions it is a sin to have sex before you are married no matter the case.

~windslicer1000 Feb 7, 2013

So in question 126, the lady got hate for being gay, not for gay ships? 'cause gay ships are everywhere.
