A lot of Internet kids and people not immediately familiar with bronies are quick to not like them, and as always accompanied with hate, you can't find much logic in it. Most would probably assume I only like the show itself, which isn't true. I also know a number of fellow bronies who don't value the My Little Pony show itself as high as the fan-made content, which is what made me into a brony in the first place.
Websites like ponychan, memebase, equestriadaily, etc. have their place in my browser's history, but it's the message boards dwelled by anonymous members that have some of the best fan-made art. You know the ones I'm talking about, I just don't want to break the first and second rule of the internet, I never have before.
Some of the content is just so impressively done, it adds depth to watching the show, which is what I went through when I declined to watch the Season 2 opening episodes immediately, and instead opted to read other's interpretation of them through posts and images, and when I did see Season 2, it really added the kind of character development that MLP would not have been able to dedicate on it's own.
I'm still lurking for more and more images and stories that go outside the realm of the show itself, it's quite the hobby to have, all the time it takes.
I have yet to run into another brony IRL, I guess I just have to wait till the brony movement takes a stronger hold with college-aged males everywhere.
