My Little Pony

Anyone else with this obsession here? :P

It was absolutely massive in internet nerd culture around 2011-2012 (and is still pretty big now) so certainly it picked up a lot of those kinds of personalities that sometimes coincide(?) with the autistic spectrum.

As for me I couldn't really be more "Brony" if I tried. Always in forums about it, huge collection of figures, plushies, t-shirts, go to conventions, etc. If there's a flat surface there's a pony on it, if it's a vertical surface then a pony sticker. And as anyone who knows the show/characters would spot with the username, there's usually some indication of my interest somewhere.

I really love how much creativity there is in its community. So many brilliant fanmade videos on Youtube. So many good cosplays at conventions. Etc. There are um, infamously less tasteful corners (don't ask) but I really think they're something of a minority.

Generally speaking when I get into things I get into them really heavily and for years.

To be honest I veer away from it like the plague, mainly due to the fact that I'm already awkward as **** and when I suddenly end up surrounded by people who look like horses puking rainbows I get overloaded D:
This isn't meant to be insulting by the way, and so you can laugh at me a little I'll tell you I have always U-turned when I have seen any adults or other human beings dressed as any kind of animal. Literally terrifies me on some kind of spiritual level.
When I was a kid I once had a football party (I don't know why, I hate football!) at the local leisure centre. The leisure centre had a 'mascot' Ally the alligator. Well, I kicked some balls that day. Not the ones I was supposed to >_> but yeah, genuine horror
I'll tell you who I love though, if we're talking conventions and cosplay and stuff. Have you ever seen the Cats (like from CATS the musical)? They go to random conventions and dress up like the cats from Cats. They do an amazing job with their costumes, honestly some of them could actually perform it! They're lovely and clever.
I'm just too old for the bronies thing. Also as I have mentioned I'm terrified of 'big' plushy animal costumes. The Cats are ok as it's all face paint and spandex. Big fluffy animals though? Forget about it, can't handle it.
No offence intended, just a personal thing ;)
