RoxyTheRaccoon9's right. Just because they like what they like doesn't mean everyone should hate them for it!

I'm saying that because...I actually used to be a Pegasister once. My friend Sara and I would have ongoing conversations about what MLP:FiM fanfics we found amazing, what episodes were our favorites, and what Element of Harmony we thought we were most like. It was a joyous time...

But then came the prejudice. Anti-Pegasisters and Anti-Bronies decided that it would be fun to berate us over such an insignificant matter. It was so severe, I decided to quit the fandom after just a few months because I couldn't take the emotional pain.

That's my story. And it's coming straight from the hands of a former fandom member.
