so, as many of you know, i am a brony...well generally a geek
i have a few comments and quotes to share about being a brony, a geek, a fan, and such, first one will be on being a brony
The best part about being a brony is knowing you've discovered something awesome;
something that can never be discovered by those who are to ignorant, to close-minded, or to anxious to protect their "masculinity"
next, a quote from simon pegg
"Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. It's basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather than act like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating.

these two quotes are the two most true statements i have ever read or heard
they embody fandom and all that goes with it
i am proud to say i am a geek
i am a brony (mlp, duh)
a whovian (doctor who)
imperialist (starwars)
general geek actually
greatest thing ever

wow, surprisingly neutral statements.......

no
i just express how i feel and would like to say a royal fuck you to the many assholes on this site who attack me
i love the things i do and none of you can stop me or my happiness

in my experience i mention it once and suddenly, HATE, so i figure, might as well be proud of it
also, not only thing i express a love of
i also am a huge fan of this thing called Doctor Who.....haven't heard of that either? didn't think so
well its awesome

and just because it started out as a little girl's toy doesn't mean it is one still, sure thats the TARGET demographic but the mighty godess of animation: lauren faust (who also made powerpuff girls, dexter's lab, and foster's home for imaginary friends) created it so that it could be good for all ages
there is a popular and true saying in the fandom
i came for the show, but i stayed for the community
part of being a brony, infact one of the biggest parts, is being part of this awesome group of people
i have met some of the greatest, most genuine people through the fandom, people who i may have never met otherwise and i am grateful

also, in a roundabout sort of fashion, announcing my fandom got me my amazing girlfriend.....
though thats a story i'll share another time

ok, just gonna say, first of all ari gold, your not gonna get to me that way
if i can survive these types of things:
cupcakes fanfic
and the infamous Sweet Apple Masacre
then i think ill be fine with a couple gore pics

and dexter, the sense of belonging is more from being part of this awesome group of people, not a fictional place
