For the record: I'm not a brony. I watched a bit of the first season and a bit of the second, and do acknowledge that it's a hilarious show with very cute characters! It's great!
I wanted to get that "Renaissance" look on this, and did spend a bit more time on this just because no one does that stuff much, and I think it's pretty hilarious.
I ALSO did this to get you guys to check out my friends' very intriguing documentary project: [link] <-- and it will be fantastic.
I remember a time when being a brony simply meant that you thought MLP was a good show, which is the definition your description fits. Nowadays people equate "brony" to "obsessive ponyfag". It's the very reason I don't normally call myself a brony.
