Are you comfortable with your family knowing you like MLP

>>29525390
They don't know about it.

My family doesn't really care, as long as I don't ponify everything, they think it's just another random cartoon I watch

>>29525394
I wish I would have taken that route.

>>29525390
>Are you comfortable with your family knowing you like MLP?
Yup. They know about it and there's no problem at all. I've always liked cartoons, I've always been completely open about it, and MLP was no different for them.

Hahah, faggot

Why the fuck would you tell anyone

>>29525390
My family knows
My co workers know and didn't give a shit
I met my wife at a pony con, we gift eachother merch and fuck white de watch the show. She has the face of a young Sarah Jessica Parker and the ass of Naomi Russel so I married the closest a human girl can be to a mare.

My parents and siblings know.

They are cool with it, I even sometimes get Pony merc as birthday/Christmas presents.

>>29525440
lets hear one of his "Jokes"

>>29525390
They don't care too much about it, they've probably forgotten since I don't watch the show as much as I used to (which was like twice a month anyways) or buy more merchandise. My lil sis is more than ok with it, we used to watch the show together and I have bought her pony stuff as well. On a scale from 0-10, I'd say 7, they don't mind but are positive about it

>>29525454
I don't remember anything good, just typical stuff about adults liking things for little girls

>>29525390
I watch it with my brothers, and the rest of the people are chill with it.

Some of my friends know it, a couple of people even watch it and those that don't watch it don't talk about it, so nobody really cares. If people are being shit towards you for liking something entirely harmless, that's more of a problem on their side.

>>29525390
Parents are clueless about that sort of thing. They just shrug it off as 'some internet thing'. But it's also not like I'm so retarded as to hang plushies all over my walls and wear MLP branded clothing >.<

I don't have any reason to talk to them about it. I doubt they'd do more than ask a few questions because they'd want to understand why I'm into it. Just don't be weird about it. In the end it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks about it, and eventually they'll just shrug and move on.

The only family member of mine who knows that I'm a ponyfag is my brother, who doesn't care and in fact has seen the show himself and said he found it cute.

>>29525390
My dad used to joke about it with me, but he doesn't really do it anymore. As for the rest of my family, they don't seem to care either. My aunt was like, "Go ahead Anon," and my grandma thinks it's weird I'm into it. But oh well.

Laptops under warranty so I don't fuck with it, running mint on my rig because I'm a true patrician.

Does changing the OS void the warranty?
But I'd maybe consider ghosting the hard drive and then installing the OS of your choice. If you need to send it back, restore the original image if possible. If not, pray that the warranty isn't void by OS modification.

>>29525712
>does changing os void warranty
In most cases no, but technically this isn't under an actual warranty.

I was paraphrasing a bit. It's my work computer and keeping 10 just makes everything easier when dealing with fuckbags who can't into computers. Plus we change them out every once in a while instead of repairing them, so any effort I put into it would be wasted.

>>29525732

my older brother knows and he is indifferent.

my parents don't know, and i wish to keep it that way.

>>29525772
Because of the ThinkPad in >>29525634.
/mlp/ and /g/ have a sizable shared userbase, you know.

>>29525808
Anyone with two eyes can confirm that. I've seen many ponyposters on /g/. Of course, you get the usual "kys faggot shit down brony throats" reaction from normies, but it's entertaining to see them go off on tangents about their favourite characters and whatnot.

>>29525793

>>29525816

>anyone with two eyes
Sure, but not every nor/mlp/erson checks out /g/. We get a bunch of /k/ threads here but seldom a /g/, not as common knowledge.

>>29525390
They don't mind. If they start getting kinda uppity about it I just make fun of them for liking Once Upon a Time and the Big Bang Theory.

They don't mind. I like collecting merchandise but I never talk about the show to anyone irl.

My family is pretty laid back so I don't care if they know.

my brother and dad don't care. i never got to tell my mom, but she would have ripped on me mercilessly for it and it would have been amazing and i regret that i never did.

>>29525390
>Are you comfortable with your family knowing you like MLP?
They don´t know anything.
My brother only asked my why I printed a pony with my 3D printer when I still lived with my parents.
He had no clue and I doubt he even remembers anything.

I like MLP as my secret shome.

You act like there's any significance to having your two sisters be slightly annoying for a few days.

Every single person I know, knows I watch the show, that's good part of be an adult, people around you stops of comprehend like jerks after the 20's (implying you're not on a shitty country)

My mom and grandmother both know and are perfectly fine with it.

My dad doesn't know, but he lives in another state so his opinion is worth jack shit anyway.

>>29527516

>We're called horsefuckers for a reason.
The term "horsefucker" is quite generic. It does not specify if we want to fuck real horses or only the pastel-coloured talking horses found in our hugbox of a show. In my case, I only wish to fuck the latter. Moreover, I find the act of sex with an actual earth horse to be repulsive.

I try to camouflage my MLP things with my other weird cartoon/vidya shit, and bank on the fact that my parents don't know or care what any of this stuff means at a glance.

I'm not too concerned about it, though. They're pretty inured to me enjoying weird or childish things, and while they stopped trying to understand my interests over a decade ago, they still respect them and want me to be happy.

The thing that I hate about my parents knowing about me watching MLP, is that they think I am into stuff for girls.

I was at a DVD store with my Dad and he showed me a strawberry shortcake dvd, I asked him if it for my cousin (whos birthday was coming up) he said "I thought you would want it". I said "why would I want that"? Sounding a bit angry. He put it back on the shelf.

dude by the time i was graduating i was attending conventions with hundreds of dollars in hand with a hundred pounds of merchandise including mlp shirts and keychains that i wore around.

they memed about it for a bit and then the initial wierdness for them wore off and they accepted it. i could sit down in the main room and watch the episode come saturday and they wouldn't say a word.

not to mention that i grew up with my grandparents, one serving in Viet Nam.

just if you're a fucking normal person they won't care because that's not your make or break to them. i was able to attend conventions because they considered me a responsible teen who was able to work for the money to go to a convention.

i didn't have it difficult at all. because better watching smoking hot ponies than smoking methamphetamine, which is the reason i grew up with my grandparents anyway.

Same thing happened to me. I told my younger sister while I was home for thanksgiving and she immediately went around to my mom, dad, and grandparents with "can you BELIEVE he's been watching MY LITTLE PONY???"

Turns out nobody gives a shit except for her, and now I get pony merch for christmas every year.
