A Brony Tale Page #2

Synopsis: Vancouver-based voice artist Ashleigh Ball has been the voice of numerous characters in classic cartoons such as Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Cinderella and more. When Ashleigh was hired to voice Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash for Hasbro's fourth series to use the My Little Pony name - My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - she had no idea she would become an Internet phenomenon and major celebrity to a worldwide fan-base of grownups. Bronies are united by their belief in the show's philosophy. This documentary gives an inside view of the Pony fan-world, and an intimate look at the courage it takes to just be yourself...even when that means liking a little girls' cartoon.

but they work together.
My point is this!
Bronies have changed
the definition of masculinity.
I think
it's the end of...
Civilization?
What's happened
is that with the spread
of fast access Internet,
almost the entirety of the media
with the fandom
Is entirely online.
It's, in a lot of senses,
a brand new type of fandom.
It's this crazy phenomenon
on the web, in the media...
It's kind of inexplicable,
really.
What happens when a movement
puts a lot of new ideas
into circulation?
It, uh,
doesn't really make sense.
People are inspired
by the environment
That surrounds them.
The Internet
is a complicated idea,
a set of protocols
that has changed everything.
Try to realize
our imaginations and the need
to retreat to a world
of pure fantasy.
We exist in a world
of illusion.
The true nature of reality
beckons
from just beyond the horizon.
I got an invitation
to... BronyCon.
Brony...
B-R-O-NYC-Con, in New York,
which is a convention
for Bronies.
It's pretty crazy.
Apparently there's
a lot of these happening,
although this would be
the first one
That I've been invited to.
"Hello!
My name is Purple Tinker,
and I run BronyCon,
the world's largest dedicated
My Little Pony:
Friendship is Magic fan event.
We are currently
in the planning stages
of our next event,
BronyCon, end of January.
It will be held
in New York City,
but something is missing...
Ms. Ashleigh Ball."
That's me!
"Would Ms. Ball do us the honour
of letting us treat her
like the star she is
for one special weekend?"
Wow.
I guess... we'll see.
I'm a trained
Harley Davidson mechanic.
I have built and can build
custom motorcycles
from scratch.
I can weld.
I can run a CMC machine.
I played college football.
Uh, what's the other one?
Bodyguard ranch hand
for a science fiction writer,
I worked as a GM glue guy
a GM dealership.
On top of all that, I watch
a show for little girls.
I'm known as DustyKatt
in the fandom,
and I'm known as
the Manliest Brony in the World.
If this guy can like
a girls' show for what it is,
you can too.
Every character
doesn't have the answers, right?
They have to go find
the answers,
They have to learn
from their mistakes,
and that's what draws me
to My Little Pony,
Because you have
character-driven story
where the characters
learn something and grow.
There's six main characters
in the show.
Twilight Sparkle.
Her characterization
is fairly easy.
Twilight
is the intellectual shut-in.
Now you have Applejack,
who is the hard worker,
that pony you can go to,
but her problem is
she can't let others help her.
Fluttershy,
too shy for her own good.
That's one of her fallacies
