That Brony Etiquette Blog is something I really needed to see ever since I joined this fandom. There’s so many Bronies I want to strangle for how stupid they tend to be.

Based on a submission…although the person talked about Brony musicians. But I think it applies to any artist in the fandom so I made it more general. Sometimes people will want to make something not involving ponies. No matter how much you like their pony-related things, don’t annoy them by demanding ponies in every single thing they make. People can make ponyless things if they want.

No need to be one-note. I can understand obsessive focusing on a subject because I do it all the time (although I’m working on it) but there are more things to talk about. It’s a big world out there, even if you can’t go outside. Talk about something else for once.
Let’s see: Video Games, Movies, TV Shows, Local Events, there’s a lot going on outside the world of MLP. How bout you guys have a chat with me about one of those things?

In both pony-ponies and human-ponies, I’ve seen this. Some Bronies feel the need to throw out transphobic and/or homophobic remarks, since they’re already so generous with racist ones. Uh, no.

I don’t care if you love a certain ask blog, music series, fancomic, etc. Don’t bother the artist, who may not have that much free time to begin with, to update their stuff. They will when/if they want to.
