 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/1948&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Cerulean Spark&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;ceruleanspark&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 1&amp;gt; I don't like depending on fandom labels. I know some people can't stand identifying themselves without a group to &amp;quot;belong&amp;quot; to, but I can't stand that personally. I have a hard time with people who have no self confidence.  2&amp;gt; Regardless of intention or conception, if you say &amp;quot;Bro&amp;quot; to the average person who isn't Internet savy, it's taken masculine. Adding &amp;quot;Ies&amp;quot; to it doesn't negate that. The fact that the drama has come enough that &amp;quot;Pegasisters&amp;quot; was needed to be coined, and that the question of, &amp;quot;what is a female brony called?&amp;quot; keeps coming up, there's an issue. 3&amp;gt; It still sounds too close to &amp;quot;brownies&amp;quot; for comfort. 4&amp;gt; Pony is a four letter word. Brony is five. 5&amp;gt; I am not from /co/ or /b/. I have seen more things die at the hooves of their homebase than I have seen benefit. I don't need their reputation to become mine.</html>
