@caret7 I imagine if I ever got back into the show it would just be that- me being a fan of the show. That isn't to say I wouldn't enjoy fan works though, as communal culture is very important in the world of art! I'm just awfully apprehensive with the word "brony" and the prospect of "brony culture", I disagree with the notions of categorically identifying with my media. I feel that a term like "brony", aside from being weighted with some less than pleasurable connotations, is also reflective of a philosophy of media engagement that works more on the framework of an identity complex than that of critical evaluation or visceral enjoyment. My message doesn't technically spoil anything that happened in the episode and is more of just my reaction to it, but yeah, you'd be better off reading it after watching the episode.
