MLP, Bronies, furrys. Me no understand

[Doctor Felix Whooves]

I don't understand this stuff some one pleas explain I'm so confused I hear about them in school but have no idea what they really are

[Epsilon]

I don't know much about furries...

 

But Bronies are people who are avid fans of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. "Bronyism" in of itself is a meme due to the immense popularity of the show.

 

There's a Know Your Meme article on it: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic

My Little Pony is a franchise of toys and other associated properties by the toy company Hasbro.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a television show produced in Canada and United States set in that franchise.

Bronies are self-proclaimed fans of said television show. This title has many generalizations, commonalities and associations made and complimented by it, for better or worse.

Furries are participants, or those intrigued by, the portrayal of anthromorphic animals. (Which is to say, they are animals portrayed as partly or largely human, or with human traits). For more on this, I'm sure other users can fill you in, such as Alyxx, one of our moderators.

Furries are people indenify themselves or other people as half animal-half human

see. My avatar,

One thing though: what i see so much is the confusion that Bronies or furries are people that are sexually attracted to ponies/animals. While there are those kind people in the Brony community and probably the furry community(not a furry myself)(which btw i am totally fine if you are, i don't judge people on their sexual interests), that is not what it is about. Bronies simply enjoy the show/community and i think the same is for furries.

Ok I get the MLP/bronies but KT how can some one think there half animal?

[Scorpia]

it's not precisely "think they are", as to more identify with them. i'm not a furry(well, i'm a Inuyasha fan, don't know if he's a furry :/) so i'm not really sure...

[Kirkreng]

well, i'm a Inuyasha fan

I used to watch that when i was little! Probably shouldn't have, but it was funny.

[Scorpia]

yea, i love that show, i used to watch Full Metal Alchemist as well. they need to be back on adult swim >.

 

back on topic though, sorry about that

Furries are fans of anthropomorphic animals. (Sometimes pornographically)

I don't like furfags or cloppers, both are just generally weird/creepy...

 

As for my choosing the other option, there's a small group of Midna fans, Probably less than 1 Million over the Internet. (No, this doesn't count as a furry)

 

I wanted to see her trollishness in another game, so I'm actually a pretty small part of this community.

[ProHypster]

I selected misspelled word "neither".

To the common man/woman any male that likes my little pony is weird/creepy to, doesn't mean bronies aren't awesome people.

There's a difference between watching and enjoying a show, and masturbating to animal porn.

 

Which one is more understandable here?

[Kirkreng]

Yes but what does it mean to you that someone enjoys masturbating to bestiality?

As long as i do not plan on having an intimate relationship with that person i see no reason why i should care.

Being a furry is not the same as having a fetish for them. Yes some members of the community do have fetishes and most furry sites offer adult content. Most of it is pretty innocent stuff. As an example of this here's by valentines day present from Lawrence (I don't think it's creepy, it's the best gift I've ever been given):

 

And it's not 'animal' porn, far from it. And tbh who gives a crap, if they're into that sort of stuff it's not your business to tell them otherwise. Furries are exactly like bronies, furries enjoy half human/half animal pictures or people turning into said animals. It's really cool and some of the art is very impressive.

That's what i was saying. Though i might have been a little unclear. I'm tired, I'm going to bed gdnight.

I didn't say being a furry is the same as having a fetish for them...

I had a bad reaction to this.

 

Furries and Bronies are 2 Totally different things.

Bronies are people who enjoy the Television show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", and often enjoy fan art, fan videos, fan fiction, etc...

Furries are people who are fans of anthropomorphic animals. Some have their own characters.

[Kyon]

Furry=Kinda

Brony=Kinda too.

 

My interest has been wading in MLP (like it does in almost all things). Chances are I will get back into it again.

 

Furry. Like I said, kinda. I enjoy the art and some of the people (not furfags) and am fine with RPing it. But I probably wouldn't step foot at a Furry Convention.
