Poll: Bronies and/or Hoofsisters (?)

[Entitled]

It's obviously not a new thing, but things like "Pega-sister" At least brony actually isn't too bad (Unlike Hoof-sister...or pegasister...those are awful)

Fun fact: "pegasister" isn't a female counterpart to bronies, but it was the original nickname decades ago for the whole MLP fandom (mostly toy collectors), when it was a natural assumption that they were all women.

Logically, it shouldn't even be male bronies and female bonies (a.k.a. "pegasisters"), but female pegasisters, and male pegasisters (a.k.a. "bronies").

Bronies that are creepy perverts who jerk off to ponies.

 

[Entitled]

For that matter, even "gamer" is a nickname for what would normally be "video game fan", as parallel to "comic book fan", or "anime fan" (a.k.a. otaku).

Tizzy was merely pointing out that the names sound silly. Seeing as how many MLP fans don't use the term "brony" themselves, they agree with him. Calm your tits guys.

Now let's all eat some cookies and be friends again.

Love it or hate it, you have to admit it blew up in a demographic that I'm sure the producers are surprised at. Lots of folks have made a pretty penny behind this fandom as well, one going so far as to have his fanfiction published physically, if I remember right. As far as clopping goes, better to get off that easy one to pixels as opposed to gettiong off that easy one in.. well, you know where I'm going with that. Beside, medically speaking, that's kinda astounding.

 

[Shadowstar38]

Hm? How was I angry in any way, shape, or form? I was simply pointing out that there are quite a few fandoms that created personal identifiers.

"Calm your tits" was directed at CriticKitten more than you.

Now eat your cookies >.>

 

[TheOrb]

The term brony never really bothered me (Pegasister sounds lame but meh) Don't know where hoof sister came from (Is it supposed to be like blood sisters or something?)

Also, this is a forum, I just said (or typed, dammit Idk) why they called themselves that, If I "offended" you that much, sorry, I wasn't trying to pick a fight or "troll" as you accused me of.

Meh, it came off the top of my head, but then I researched it and left hoofsister in.

 

[Easton Dark]

No... no, never ever, please don't ever use Hoofsister again. Pega-sister is awful and shouldn't be used either, but hoofsister? Oh man...

Brony incorporates everypony, just use that. I know quite a few.

A different term for Fapping. Primarily toward Pony Porn. Disgusting if you ask me, but furries will be furries.

...and bronies will be bronies, cloppers and non-cloppers alike...

 

[Tiger Sora]

IRL, theres one I actually know, and in total I've met a good 30-40+.

On the Escapists here, I know many, many people who are Bronies, comes with the chat and gaining fame there.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

I know a handful of people besides myself. Only one of them knows I like the show, and it's only in a roundabout way of us sharing links. I don't usually talk about it publicly as there is no reason to do so. So, there might be a lot more people than I'm aware of.

I am sorry? I do not understand what you are getting at. Those who "Fap" or "Clop" to Ponies are considered Furries and that is what Furries do, am I wrong in assuming this?

What you say can be true, but your previous statement can be misinterpreted as generalising all furries as masturbating to ponies or antropomorphic animals; which, though most of them do, some are vehemently against.
My statement was a reply using the same logic that those who do the most deviant things in a group set the norm for outside perception.

Essentially, the people that make money off of this sort of thing have learned how to appeal to closet furries without actually insinuating that they're furries, thereby avoiding the negative stigma associated with that particular subculture.

Unfortunately, the avenue they're using to appeal to these generally twentysomething guys is through a cheery little cartoon aimed at little girls, which has all sorts of unpleasant connotations of its own.

Howso? There are plenty of perfectly normal guys I know of (including myself) that enjoy the show. Whether one is 10, 20 (as in my case), boy, girl, or Batman. If you enjoy the show and get into the fandom, I don't see the problem. Life's too short to worry about others.

 

[trophykiller]

Oh, I know tons of bronies. Wait, you meant on the Escapist website? Well, what defines "knowing" someone?

...Well that's probably the most rediculous thing I've ever heard since Jersey Shore got cancelled.

 

[Shadowstar38]

In the biblical sense of the word. At least once.

Wait, so to "know" what you mean I have to... No thanks.

"Hoofsisters"? Where did that name come from? And why does this thread keep getting made? It makes about as much sense as the "How many bronies watch Zero Punctuation?" thread that came up a while back.

On the other hand, why are there still people who say not to post anything pony-related at all? The Escapist is kinda big on ponies. If you see a pony thread and don't like ponies... don't click on it. Not all the threads are there to please you. I think a lot of us also got really fed up with all the threads about Mass Effect 3's ending. And now, we've got this whole "Suicide Girl" thing that has gone way too far in the wrong direction.

Captcha: "Which new series will premiere on cinemax this fall?" How the heck am I supposed to know? How about My Little Pony? And why couldn't you capitalize "Cinemax"?

The difference is that the pony fascination tends to be highly aggressive in its method of portrayment.

The closest analogue I've come up with is that they're kind of like the Jehovah's Witnesses of the internet. They've got something they want to share and they just will not shut the hell up about it.

Wherever bronies go, you are going to see threads about how great it is to be a brony, which pony is the most pony-est, and on and on and on.

Personally I'd like to see a study set to see how many bronies are autistic or have Asperger's. I get the feeling the two are related in some way.
