    !ottawabronies @nightbreak @djmidli I'm focusing on why the cartoon has become this popular with a demographic so different from the target audience -- popular enough to spawn this brony subculture. Ideally real names would be used, but if there’s concern with that I’m willing to work around it. I do want to make it clear that I’m not out to portray bronies in a negative way. The premise just struck me as curious and I’m sure others would find it intriguing as well. I did commit myself to watching the entire first season when I decided to write this article; I think it’s a cute show with great production, characters and an interesting world. So the appeal is not lost on me :)

      @mergemm Well, I can tell you that I came into the new show because I had been a fan of the 80s show when I was, oh, 8. :P I'm sort of a brony-anomaly in that, but it's interesting to be in a fandom from the ground up like this. Trust me, bronies are not alone. Just go to Fandom bananas and see the 'subcultures' that have evolved around any show. !ottawabronies.
