I agree.

@Starly  
I’d like to see the time come when it won’t be such an issue either way, then we could just be MLP fans…

@Background Pony  
I know.

@Starly  
Like I said, it’s become kind of a defiant statement of pride for some. They only made an issue of their gender because it’s why they were targeted in the first place.

@Background Pony  
And thats why it’s dumb..

@Starly  
Yeah, but the fact is where society is concerned male fans are generally going to have a more difficult experience being a part of this group. It’s not surprising a lot of them would ban together under a banner like that under the circumstances. Male or female though it’s up to the individual to choose what label they want, if any.

@Background Pony  
MALE FANS  
Exactly.

@Starly  
That fine for you, but thanks to the fandom’s rocky history the term “brony” has become a matter of pride for a lot of male fans. I don’t think it’s going anywhere…

@Background Pony  
I just want to be called an MLP fan is all.

@Starly  
Well yeah, I was referring to both terms in my question. Though some female fans do seem to like it.

@Background Pony  
No, it’s already divided that way.  
Just the word Brony is NOT as gender neutral as they say.

@Starly  
Is it that you don’t like the idea of dividing the fandom by gender?

@Background Pony  
It’s equally dumb. maybe not AS bad…

@Starly  
Why’s that?

@Background Pony  

@Starly  
How do you feel about the word pegasister?

@Bobrella  
I’m pretty sure she watched a little of the original show when she was a kid, she was just more a fan of the toys. Given how she based Rainbow Dash on Firefly’s personality she must have at least seen the first special.

@MaggieXawesomeness  
indeed.

fricken g2 didn’t have a cartoon >:T

Yeah, the jab at previous gens seemed unneccesary, even if Lauren herself made the lyrics - at least G1 could have received a bit of praise. (It’s not like G4’s plots aren’t unoriginal sometimes, and probably many bronies/viewers are fond of it as well like Lauren…or myself.)
 
Derpy lives, lol!
 
Glad the fan labor was put on the spot, that’s probably the no. 1 amazing thing this fandom excels in.

Pegasisters: idk, I feel it made us look a teeeny weeeny bit like we are slightly mysoginic/woman-exclusive? I’ll admit that not every female past-gen MLP female artist/fan probably liked the brony attention the franchise was suddenly getting, and there were small clashes as in the case of any larrge fandom, but girl opinion leaders were a part from the very beginning who had an extremely big influence on where things went, and I think there’s been a question that if a male can do great fanwork and participate in socolaizing, so can a woman (and do it better).
 
I’ll just take it as a humorous jab at the brony/pegasister name difficulties, but I’d like it if the world saw us more inclusive and loving/tolerating (or just non-biased).
 
 
Animation was smooth, kudos to the creators.

that was awesome.

@Shaky
 
Hey I didn’t start the fire. It was always burning since the world’s been turning.

@Shaky  
…You’re absolutely right. I’m sorry.
 
I loved this bit of animation. De Lancie’s singsongy act is completely hypnotizing.

I love the fact we’re bitching about how awful or not awful Gen 1 through 3.5 was rather than commenting on the 4:14 of brilliance in the source.
