It seems like at least once or twice a week I get a note or comment left here or on another site that my wife and I frequent from some disgruntled brony yelling about how they think I'm giving their fandom a bad image by being a "brony who takes it too far" or something of that nature. This never ceases to amaze me for a couple reasons:
#1. I'm actually not a brony at all. Neither myself nor my wonderful little wife have watched the television show about her and her friends in over a year, and frankly we don't want anything to do with your fandom. By the end of Season 4 the writers for
the TV show had diverged so far from the actual events of Twi's world that there just wasn't any reason for us to keep watching the show, not to mention those abysmally awful movies made up to sell My Little Pony themed Barbie dolls. So needless to say the show no longer holds any interest for us, and the fandom around it sure doesn't either. Would you really want to be part of a group of people who sends you death threats on a regular basis? We sure as heck don't want to be. For a community based around the television show about all the lessons that my wife and her friends have learned about how to be a good person and treat others well, it's rather amazing how few of those lessons they seem to have actually taken to heart. We both appreciate a lot of the really amazing art that fans draw of my little honeybun, but that's really as far as our interest in the brony fandom goes.
#2. Bronies don't need any help from me or anyone else to make themselves look bad. I could go on for pages about all the socially inept man-children steeped in the toxic waste of internet culture the brony community plays home to, but rather than go off on a tangent I'll just provide a link to this article which I think sums it all up pretty well:

In short: For those angry bronies who seem to love coming to this page to chew me out, save it. Neither my wife nor I want any part in your community, so you can just sit back and relax. It's all yours.
