Today, I went to a meetup a group of 30-some bronies had planned.
Yeah, I know, this blog will get shit for it, but whatever.
This was total impromptu for me: I just strolled into town late this morning to go raiding record stores.
At first, it felt a bit weird to see them there. They had made their own banner and blasted some pretty awesome music from a boombox.
Then I decided "Who the fuck cares? When will I ever meet people who likes ponies, anyways?"
So I took this chance to get to meet them.
Naturally, I was expecting some jackass weeabronies who knew no better than to simply herp their derps about the silly horse fad.
But I was met with something quite different.
Rather, these were normal, completely ordinary Swedish civlians who like MLP:FiM.
No weird emancipation shit, no constant show references, nothing substantial that normally gave people kneejerk reactions.
They were simply people who liked watching the show, who went to raid some toy stores for ponies, go to Laserdome, and grab some lunch.
By the time we were done with lunch, it'd gotten dark, and the new episode was out. So someone's brilliant plan was to go to someone's house with a huge TV and watch the episode together.
And no real bullshit happened. No one argued or complained over haters, or really reacted when they at one point came up and tried to rile us up.
It was perfect.... just because it was so simple.....
Overall, great day: it's easy to forget that the bronies behind they keyboards are often decent people. If only everyone treated each other that way on the nets...?
