Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony

00:00:01 One of my friends, um, called me on Skype one day, and said

00:02:14 Pretty twisted.

00:05:23 I gave it a shot, and I was hooked.

00:08:28 because the community's just so accepting, and it's just a really great thing.

00:12:32 if I had played with My Little Pony toys as a little girl.

00:16:00 And I thought, "Oh my God, what is it?"

00:21:02 and your audience will be able to see it.

00:24:13 "He's like Q, from Star Trek!" [LAUGHS]

00:27:06 Then eventually, my mom just, the curiosity got the better of her

00:30:34 Things Daniel will face I will find, I think he will find very hard, are the train station.

00:34:44 I'm gonna make you smile and I will brighten up your day!

00:37:41 four times the population of my town is in this building.

00:40:40 and this father actually did know all about BronyCon and wanted to bring his son to it.

00:43:39 and it was really amazing, because close to sixty people showed up.

00:46:10 What we did is we defined Brony fan behaviors

00:48:58 and we have begun to call this the WWPD factor:

00:51:53 We attend all the conventions, create art and music too

00:54:46 no matter who you are, you can find a place in this fandom

00:59:06 Oh there's a better map there.

01:01:42 Amazing.

01:04:14 and I think the, the biggest thing that they've done

01:07:08 Which is something you're trying to teach your children

01:13:22 - Hey, um, I was wondering if you could sign my DVD. - Of course I can!

01:17:47 "Okay, it's not so bad."
