>Gender
I'm a male pony with humanoid features
>Community
The dank memes, the good songs and because my waifu is in there.
>Interests
Porn. Written first, then drawn. Sometimes going autistic over the show.
>Well being
I'm a much better person than I was seven years ago. I'm much more tolerant towards any other culture and I even have gay friends. But muslims, those still needs to be sent to the sun.
>discrimination
Yes, life is hard when you believe you're a pony. Everyone kept laughing at me when I started to trot on my four hooves and then my family...
>brony
Yes, everypony here has always been a brony. Anyone telling otherwise is an edgy falseflagger.
And it doesn't affect me.
>relatives and friends
It was okay at first, I just used to sing the songs aloud and dance in public.
But then, when I became a pony, things started to go down. My mom and dad threw me out of the house when I started to pray for Celestia instead of their stupid jesus.

I'm fine now. The doctor says I'll be able to go out in a couple months if the new medicine works.
I've never been happier in my whole life, and this weekend's episodes are going to be the best thing that has ever happened.

You should probably put up a questionnaire with webaddress to your school.
You know, so you look more professional and have a decent www-address to show.

>>30169535
Yea, sure, why not?

> Firstly, what gender do you identify with? (If any)
Male.
> Why did you join the MLP community?
I liked the cartoon and wanted to discuss it.
> What is your MLP groups' main point of discussion/interests? (Drawing? Talking about the show?)
What, you mean like, what does /mlp/ talk about? Shitposting, mostly.
> How has this community influenced your wellbeing? (Are you happier since you joined? More outgoing/social?)
I haven't changed in the slightest.
> Have you ever experienced discrimination as a member of this community? Describe one experience in particular (Assault/shitposting/trolls/etc)
There was this time I forced out of /co/ because /b/ couldn't handle having to look at a cartoon pony, but nothing in recent memory. I'd mention Barneyfag, but he's clearly insane and should be treated as such.
> Do you feel being labelled as a "Brony" or similar terms (forgive me, I am just a visitor here and I'm not too familiar with other popular labels) positively or negatively effects you?
Doesn't affect me. Of course, I wouldn't call myself a brony, I just don't have the autism for it, but 4chan is anonymous anyway. We don't really have labels here.
> Does anyone outside the community know/not know about your involvement in the MLP group? (Does Mum/Dad know? Were they nice about it? If you don't want anyone to know about your involvement, why is this so?) Describe any relevant experiences.
My friends know, but it's not like they care. It's just a cartoon. You may as well write your thesis on the Sonic fandom, you'd have the exact same responses.

>>30169641
Anon... It's a joke.
It's obvious.
Either play the game or ignore it.

Have you watched the show, OP? What do you think about it? Favorite episode?

> Firstly, what gender do you identify with? (If any)
Male.
> Why did you join the MLP community?
After watching about two seasons I realized that I loved the show too much, and I wanted to talk with other people who liked it too.
> What is your MLP groups' main point of discussion/interests? (Drawing? Talking about the show?)
Show discussion, fanart, and waifuism.
> How has this community influenced your wellbeing? (Are you happier since you joined? More outgoing/social?)
I'm happier, it helped me to overcome a severe depression. Knowing other people with similar interests is a great experience.
> Have you ever experienced discrimination as a member of this community? Describe one experience in particular. (Assault/shitposting/trolls/etc)
Not in real life, and whenever someone comes here to "attack" us I can't help but to think that it's hilarious that seven years later some people are still mad at cute ponies, I can't take it seriously.
> Do you feel being labelled as a "Brony" or similar terms (forgive me, I am just a visitor here and I'm not too familiar with other popular labels) positively or negatively effects you?
*affects. And I don't care either way. "Brony" used to be a word to define the community, "horsefucker" was an insult, now for some people here "horsefucker" is the proper term and "brony" is an insult. It's ridiculous, call me whatever you want. I don't like using labels myself though, that's probably the reason why I don't give them any worth.
> Does anyone outside the community know/not know about your involvement in the MLP group? (Does Mum/Dad know? Were they nice about it? If you don't want anyone to know about your involvement, why is this so?) Describe any relevant experiences.
My parents and all my friends know that I watch the show, no one cares, it's just another show for them.

>what gender do you identify with?
Why not just put "what is your sex"? That would be so much faster to type out. " Are you male or female?" would also have been quicker.
Also, male.
>why did you join the mlp community?
At first, to shitpost. Then I discovered that I liked the show, and that it wasn't nearly as bad as people like to say it is. Now, here I am.
>what is your mlp groups' main interest?
Depends. This group in particular has a wide variety of interests, but the most prominent is arguing over tiny details or digging up old drama ("eqg is not canon" "waaah mom left so everything sucks now" "[insert horse here] a shit" "[insert writer here] is ruining the show", etc.) to bitch about. By sheer coincidence, we also have some very good writefags and drawfags who showcase their art here. Also, memes.
>how has your community influenced your well-being?
Ever hear of tulpas? I didn't, until I came here. I think my life has actually improved because of this. I am in fact happier now than I was before coming here, years back.
>have you experienced discrimination in this community?
I really hope you aren't turning to 4chan in the hopes of getting data regarding discrimination. Also, define " discrimination". Is being called names discrimination? Or does it have a different context here?
>do you feel that being labelled "brony" or similar terms affects you positively or negatively
I believe the association would be met negatively. I live in a traditionalist area, therefore different= guilty until proven innocent.
>does anyone outside the community know about your involvement
A few close friends that found out by accident, but I'm not a big fan of showing off my interest in the show, for reasons mentioned in the answer prior to this one. Plus, I dislike when others jabber on about their fandoms. I feel it's only fair I not do that to others.

I am happier because of the show but the community sometimes is unbearable.

Not really.

No, never been called one irl and here it doesn't matter.

One of my friends knows. He's neutral about it. Family doesn't know, I doubt they would care that much, they don't even know what MLP is.

gender: male
why joined: it was like a drug. like a religion. the first few years of pony were genuinely euphoric.
main point: sh-, er, talking about the show. also i'm part of a pony game dev community
influence: learned new things, made new friends, can partially credit pony for my current job
discrimination: never experienced any
being labeled: don't care
who knows: everyone knows. nobody cares. i use pony avatars, wear pony t-shirts, have pony stuff on my desk at work, and have pony in my resume
best pony: rarity

>>30169763
>pony in my resume

Have fun getting laughed at by your peers and disappointed looks from your professor.

>>30169535
>Firstly, what gender do you identify with? (If any)
Male.
>Why did you join the MLP community?
I didn't really, I'd already been on 4chan for years and started watching the show, I come to this hellhole for show discussion.
>What is your MLP groups' main point of discussion/interests? (Drawing? Talking about the show?)
I avoid other people who watch this show as much as possible, the imageboard format is too much fun to give up entirely, but the constant torrent of misogyny, racism, etcetera on here becomes depressing after more than a few hours of continuous browsing.
>How has this community influenced your wellbeing? (Are you happier since you joined? More outgoing/social?)
Show's great, community is shit. The show has made me happier, more social, and a better person, and the community is a toxic pile of trash that taints my enjoyment of the show.
>Have you ever experienced discrimination as a member of this community? Describe one experience in particular. (Assault/shitposting/trolls/etc)
This site in particular is rife with both ironic and unironic antisemitism, but as much as it bums me out it's very tame compared with discrimination other groups face.
>Do you feel being labelled as a "Brony" or similar terms (forgive me, I am just a visitor here and I'm not too familiar with other popular labels) positively or negatively effects you?
Negatively. Bronies are a bunch of misogynistic and entitled little shits, I'd rather not be associated with that.
>Does anyone outside the community know/not know about your involvement in the MLP group? (Does Mum/Dad know? Were they nice about it? If you don't want anyone to know about your involvement, why is this so?) Describe any relevant experiences.
Family knows and doesn't care. Friends/other people at uni notice my pony desktop background and don't care either, aside from my interest in pony I'm horrifyingly normal so nobody judges me for it.

>>30169535
> Firstly, what gender do you identify with? (If any)
Male
> Why did you join the MLP community?
I found myself sucked in to enjoying the show more than willingly watching it, and decided to start discussing
> What is your MLP groups' main point of discussion/interests? (Drawing? Talking about the show?)
Episode discussion, art, waifuisms
> How has this community influenced your wellbeing? (Are you happier since you joined? More outgoing/social?)
I'm roughly the same but maybe a bit happier, about as social as I was before
> Have you ever experienced discrimination as a member of this community? Describe one experience in particular. (Assault/shitposting/trolls/etc)
Never, actually. I don't let anyone know about me liking the show, and I don't consider the daily "What the fuck is wrong with you bronies" thread to be discrimination
> Do you feel being labelled as a "Brony" or similar terms (forgive me, I am just a visitor here and I'm not too familiar with other popular labels) positively or negatively effects you?
I don't really label myself as one so I can't really tell what the effects would be. probably bad

>Why did I join
I was intrigued by the fan art, and not just the porn.
>Group
I don't do groups. I'm a special snowflake.
>Influence
Nightly masturbation. Occasionally to disgusting >no hooves, but don't tell nobody And also a flurry of ideas. I currently have an idea in my head about a feature-length film about a pony who moves frm Manehattan to Ponyville and starts a new life, eventually creating a touring band, and even becoming a royal advisor to Twilight. It would mostly just be Slice of Life type stuff, but it would be a lot more serious, and I have like a million story arcs in my head based on sex, drug abuse, and harsh relationships, including an arc about Twilight finding out her brother is actually her biological father, and becoming so depressed and shocked that she locks herself away in her castle and refuses to do anything, not even solve friendship problems.
>Discrimination
Yeah, I post on this board and get called a faggot a whole lot, but I'm not open about my love for horsepussy so I've never been bullied for it.
>Brony
Not really. The term is dead at this point and I cringe a little whenever I hear it. It's best just not to bring that term up, and just refer to me as a "fan."
>Outsiders
Nobody besides my family and one friend
>Additional info
Playing guitar is a hobby of mine, and I like to sit and think about songs that are pony related, but are subtle about it. I'm always disatisfied with this fandom's music because it just sound so generic. All the pop/dubstep reuse similar tones and structures and the rock side of things is pretty bland. Living in the D.C. - Baltimore area, I have a thing for the echoey sound of New York artists, and kind of want to make pony music that sounds like that.

Hope your report goes well, stranger.

No, but I don't hide it because I'm an adult who pays his bills and holds down a job. I'm not breaking any laws. why would I be ashamed of enjoying what I enjoy?

Hi from A.A.Co, neighhhh-bor!

>>30170793
Looks like I misread a few of your questions.

Revision:

>Interests
I like to lurk around and occasionally shitpost for the fun of it. When I do actually discuss things, I like to defend shit that the "true OG fans" love to hate like Twilicorn and Starlight Glimmer.

>Influence
The show has made me feel a bit better I guess, but the amount of time I spend on the internet, especially this board really has taken a negative toll on me. I have friends that I haven't talked to in like 2 years, one friend who I have a pretty awkward and forced relationship with, and I don't like to go outside much. I still live with my parents, and they've proposed to help me out, but I just feel weird about social interaction at this point because I'm so un-used to it.
