Brony Advice: Your Questions Answered #100!
#100) What prompted you to start your Brony Advice column? Also, you seem to get a wide range of questions concerning everything from personal relationship and social group issues, to commentaries on art and music, all surrounding the MLP fandom; do you ever find yourself surprised or caught off guard by the questions you receive, and do you ever have difficulty answering them?

Answer: I started this column with a simple dream: a dream of understanding brony thought-processes. I like to do my best to observe the fandom and draw from it what I can. A good way of doing this is via samples and case studies. Some excellent case studies are in th

Voting and special art raffle!I hope this doesn't appear too much as a "bribery" or anything... ^^; I don't usually post journals like this (well, that was almost exactly what =Berneri said in her journal entry) but yea, here it comes anyways!

My Little Pony: Orange-Cross Empire, Chapter 15
"My council was wise, and you did well to obey; now that you are home, things will remain this way."

Artemis was being her usual self. I patted her on the back, because she was actually right, even though I hadn't listened to her advice at first. I'd done a bad thing, running away, but I knew never to do it again. Everyone faces bad times, and we just have to deal with them: that was something I'd learned during my time away. Running away doesn't help anyone, and instead just gets you into bigger trouble.

My father had been in a bad way while I'd been in Ponyville, and when I first rang the doorbell of our home after returning to Manehattan
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

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

I dought it well, unless its leaked.... They still have the BluRay release in ~ a month, if it is leaked onto youtube then they well not do bluray sells (they said this for themselves) Just borrow the BluRay from someone when it comes out.

The top google result for the brony documentary is The Pirate Bay. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.

Actually, as the creators have told the fans in many angry public statements, they were expecting to make money off of it becoming a runaway success and that they were so confident that it would make money for them that many of the crew worked for a year without pay.

They of course did this without realizing that it was a very niche and is of poor quality, and immediately blamed it all on piracy.

wait. Did you just say that this was a poor quality production -_- I can now see that you are to incompetent to hold a liable discussion with, this was the highest quality documentary (next to planet earth, but that has millions of $$ poured into it) that I have seen. Bye now, you may continue to argue with others of you intelligence, I for one am leaving.

okay i am sorry for pointing out the choppy editing, poor pacing, near total lack of female presence and managing to be both inaccessible to a large portion of the outside audience while also having nothing new or interesting for existing fans other than self assurance and injokes

i truly am a troll for watching the documentary and finding issues with it

I want to give the documentary a chance. I've seen a couple of clips and it doesn't look bad. If this gets decent reception then they might make a sequel and explore the nature, myths and themes of the show and how the fandom interprets them or explore the origins of the fandom and show and explain both the light and dark side of it. Then again maybe that sounds too good to be true.
BTW great review. I like how you kept it balanced and presented both the pros and cons. I'd say you are a better reviewer than most "internet" reviewers. *coughdougwalkercough*

I would like to say that the bronys that think the show should do what they want is the minority of the brony fandom and most the bronys i know are the most understand guy/girls i have ever met.

Please dont judge all of us over a few.
