If you were a hipster, wouldn't you have ironically retained the "Brony" stage name?

Weird or what? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronie...My_Little_Pony
It is not your child, therefore you have no place to judge. Plainly put its none of your go_ dam_ business.

I knew a guy that loved my little pony. He is gay, lives in LA, and is very happy. He didn't just like my little pony; he also wore girl's jewelry etc from an early age.

The fact that boys watch "girls" TV shows is no big deal.

The fact that someone felt compelled to assign a name to this is deeply disturbing!

THIS is a 'brony'.

One you become a "furry" it becomes a problem(sexualized fetish orgy thing). Being a brony can easily lead to such degeneracy. I would suggest making sure it doesn't go too far.

Just like anything else these days, there's a really disturbing amount of gross stuff posted on the internet about that show.

The show itself is harmless and good clean fun, but it's really easy for a kid looking for more fun on the internet to stumble onto things that no one should have to see.

I don't have a problem with people dressing up any way they like or doing their consenting adult thing in private, and I get the impression that Furries are at least a mostly adult group. However, I would be concerned about any adult male bronies who frequent gatherings attended by minors.

That's because there is an inappropriate amount of intermingling between the adult and child segments of the brony "counter culture". A lot of the adult bronies are very disturbed individuals and you do not want your kids interacting with them.

One silver lining about having a brony child though is that you don't have to worry about teenage pregnancy, because bronies tend to have an involuntary celibacy imposed upon them by their female peers. Just make sure they kick the habit before they grow up, or you won't even want them around for thanksgiving dinner.

What's weird to me is that you care what a friend's little boy likes.
