FAQs

I'm just a random individual who happens to be a brony. I noticed that a simple explanation for the brony fandom which could be linked to with an easy-to-remember URL was lacking, so I decided to put something together myself.


It's just a fun cartoon. There's really not much more to it. Sure, the brony fandom is kind of a fluke which required a perfect storm of events to occur for it to become what it is today...but when it all comes down to it we're just another fandom for just another show. I believe there's something truly special about bronydom but if you're simply not into cartoons, that's completely fair. It's not for everyone.


There is no definitive age to qualify as a brony, but generally any teen or adult who likes the show can be considered one. Most bronies from the early days tend to be in their 20s and 30s today but anyone of any age can enjoy the show!


Unless you're able to cite the URL or my username, I'm afraid I can't help you. I don't go by my real name online for a number of privacy reasons. Take a look at the bottom of the home page for other articles you may be able to use.


  Of course! The brony fandom might be known for being a fandom of adult males, and while they are the majority, the fandom is home to plenty of teen and adult female fans as well. Some female fans go by the name "pegasister" although most people prefer not to make a distinction between fans based on gender. The word "brony" is used for any grown-up fan!


The idea of adult men watching a show for little girls spreads much faster in the mainstream media than the more nuanced truth. This has resulted in the misconception that you have to be a man to be a brony, but this is wildly inaccurate and unfair to the many female fans who are proud to call themselves bronies. Google previously used the definition from this very website, but have since switched to another less-accurate source.
