Recently had a mental breakdown and bought tickets to San Francisco to attend a brony convention/concert. £700+ from London. Not even a brony. Decided to say fuck it and go, needed a break. Easily the most fun I've had in years and have made friends for life. Thank you bronies.
@fesshole Presumably a ‘brony’ is a Northern Irish brownie(?)

LOL WTAF? That's much weirder than I was expecting.

@spacemagick @h5e @fesshole My kid was deeply into it for a while. It's surprisingly wholesome.
@hedders @spacemagick @fesshole Yeah it sounds like a fun bunch! I tried watching the show and I hate it though (the voices are So. Annoying. it hurts) so I'll let others have the pleasure 😂

@spacemagick @fesshole

An adult fan of the My Little Pony cartoon.

@aran I'm so glad
Brony is gender neutral, I was never a fan of Pegasister.

@spacemagick @fesshole

@spacemagick @fesshole more likely a My Little Pony Friendship is Magic fan

@spacemagick @fesshole

They are adult male fans of animation series "My little pony" - bro + pony = brony

Beware researching this as it's a potential rabbit hole.

@spacemagick @fesshole apparently it's made up of bro and pony and refers to male friends of "My little pony". You learn something new every day.

@fesshole as long as you don't cross over into the Nazi Brony subculture. Those guys are the really weird ones.
@fesshole I do get the impression that standard Bronies are weird but only in a harmless and charming way, like Furries.
@Funkydrummer @fesshole i remember seeing some Twitter account back in the day from someone called Nationalist Brony - it felt like a bit of a crossover with the weird Nazi Furries.
@IanMoore3000 @fesshole Puts a different perspective on Furer! (I know it’s Fuhrer).
