@retl No, I just sucked at grammar. It wasn't so much a question as a direct statement; it's now impossible to change. You're a year too late. Whether you'd prefer to disregard the 4chan roots of the fandom is irrelevant, because they're present and had an active role in the naming of the fandom (which was originally /b/ronies as a play on the word /b/ro, which refers to /b/ posters). Gender simply does not come into it!

@retl I did have a haul of balloons the other day! Six of them, and yellow.
-
@retl I KNOW
-
@retl I wouldn't even care. I think 'Brony' is a horrible word and don't use it, but not because of some gender issue that doesn't exist in the fandom. I've only ever seen non-MLP fans get up in arms about it. Besides, the idea that we HAVE to change what we call ourselves is ridiculous. They can call themselves pegasisters all they like, don't tell me what I can and can't do.
-
@retl I can agree with that
-
@retl you make good points, all I'm saying is trying to change the name Brony is not going to be easy, if it's even possible
-
@retl I personally have nothing against changing it, but your talking about changing the way thousands of people talk on a daily basis, and @theowl has a point, the majority of the society is male, so of course what we call ourselves is going to be gender biased, it may be easier to just come up with a name for women since I doubt anypony will be able to get rid of Brony
-
@retl I usually just say "ponies" but it really is hard to un-create a word like that.
-
@retl Kinda hard to replace something that's so well developed
-
@retl Well, what the hell did they call themselves before us? Moreover, are enough women fans getting angry enough to warrant doing so?
-
@retl nope
-
@retl what?
-
@retl Have fun with those!
-
@retl Can't decide if I'm disappointed that http://retl.info/extra/pony/obviously/fake/url/that/isnt/retlated/to/discord/spoilers.png isn't a real link that you'd planned long ago as part of a huge gambit on the hope this situation would arise.

@retl Then I declare it to be the first on record, THAT COUNTS AS IT BEING THE FIRST
-
