the weird thing is that in the town where i live there are not many bronies (mainly because 80% of the population is either slowed or forign) i know 2 bronies personaly but thats about it and everyone who finds out about bronies either ignores it or instantly hates.

Maybe a few fringe Jedi, but the bulk of the Order is still stuck on Odan-Urr's butchery of the Old Code. They'd never allow something like friendship to sway them from their path.

There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

"The Imperium is nothing if not willing to go to any lengths necessary. So the Trekkies are zipping around at warp speed taking small chucks out of an nigh-on infinite amount of ships, with the Imperium being unable to strike back. feth it, says central command, and detonates every vortex warhead in the fleet, plunging the entire sector into the Warp.

And once again, a demonstration of the sheer speed of the Brony community- A pony that was only seen (no lines, even!) in a single episode, doing nothing more than accompanying another, now has a personality, background, name and fanbase. I wouldn't be surprised to see a story incorporating her trying to chat with Fluttershy about how difficult it is being a model.

I started to read the Dashie story once but didn't get into it and thus did t finish. Its been brought up a few times in different places recently though so I might have to give it another shot.

I was pining for one for quite along time but I'm not sure if it was all that great. It had a lot of good scenes in it but the overall plot felt patchwork and rushed, and AJ was very out of character in order for it to make sense.

I thought it was a great Pinkie Pie episode! Sadly Applejack seemed to have forgotten everything she learned in Applebucking Season and once again did nothing but stubbornly refuse help from anyone else. It just continues to cement her in my mind as the least interesting of the Mane Six.

That is something all character seem to forget. Although it was less of stubbron and more ashamed.
Also My little dashie is still making me sad.

Hey guys/gals. I don't want to go OT too much, but me and my wife were talking about how much has changed the past 10 years in terms of "Gender Roles" in thanks partially to the internet.
This came up because as we watched the show together I confessed that I really like the original MLP when I was young (like 5), but my parents frowned upon it as it was too "girly". The gender roles will probably take a long time to change completely (if ever), but the internet has definitely helped the process. My thought process also comes from the trolls of the internet, who assume that liking MLP is for girls.
Back to my original point.. (I tend to rant).. Gender roles are always heated on the internet, because for some reason everyone seems to think they have to be all masculine, all the time, but really the internet has slowly taken away genders. My wife's room consists of Marvel, Hellraiser, Death(the figure), unicorns, fairies, and Monster High theme.. She's a perfect example of not caring about "gender topics" and just liking what you like.
I guess my topic question is: Do you think "gender topics" are being blurred as we enter the digital age? "Gender Topics" being what's ok for a boy to like or a girl to like.
I'm sorry for my ranting, I'm really dyslexic so it's hard to get a point across sometimes.. I hope this will make the post better.

I agree, but with me, MLP kinda has a grimdark side, with the fan fics like fallout equestria and such. I love the show too, and have decided RAINBOW DASH IS BEST PONY!

Nah, that's a well-thought out post, and this thread is a great place to discuss it.
I'd definitely say the internet and the anonymity it brings is a huge factor in this kind of thing. Others would include growing gender equality and our society's slow creep towards greater tolerance.
To be honest, I think the "brony" subculture is large enough at this point to represent a serious shift in how people view gender roles. It's not the first to be in that position, but it's large and widespread enough to affect some thinking.
