A Brony Tale Page #4

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.

to worry, to be stressed,

and the Bronies

have lower scores,

so again, that would tend

to say this is a group...

now, there are going to be

Depressed Bronies,

and there are gonna be

Anxious Bronies,

But that's very positive.

Education level...

What we found was around 35%

of our Bronies

were in high school,

while about 62% were in

or had completed college.

And then one of the biggies,

the sexual orientation question,

which...

many people when they first

hear about the Bronies

will say things like,

"Well, is it a bunch of gays

and that?"

84% of the Bronies will describe

themselves as heterosexuals.

One and a half percent

label themselves as homosexuals,

and about 10% bisexual,

and then around 3-4% asexual.

Asexual is,

based on clinical experience,

some people who just simply

are not interested in sex.

It's still a puzzle,

when I think...

It's still a puzzle.

It's a puzzle to us as well,

but, um, I think that it's...

that the, um,

that society as a whole

is becoming less negative

in their attitudes

toward Bronies.

My name is Mike Bernstein,

and I am the broadcast director

of Everfree Radio.

Everfree Radio

is an online radio station

and network of programs

dedicated and mostly marketed

towards the Brony community.

I ended up watching it

because I thought,

"Okay,

clearly this is a phenomenon.

I have to understand why."

And I watched the first episode,

and the first episode

is a cliffhanger, a two-parter,

so I'm like, "Okay, well,

I gotta watch the second part."

You know, you gotta see how

the beginning story arc ends.

And then, you know,

I got to the end

of the second episode.

I'm like,

"Yeah, that's pretty decent.

It's okay. It's not bad.

You know, I better watch

the third episode

To make sure

that it's, you know,

maintaining

that level of quality,"

And then the fourth

and the fifth,

and by the time

I got to the 17th episode,

I kind of hung my head

in resignation.

It's kinda like, "Damnit."

You know?

"I guess I'm a Brony.

Oh well, better come

to terms with it."

4chan is an image

and message board

where the Brony movement began,

basically, back in...

I think it was October of 2010.

Somebody wrote an article.

They were citing My Little Pony:

Friendship Is Magic

as showing that companies

were micromanaging programs.

Well, new cartoon shows

are all about merchandising,

so somebody on 4chan went

and decided to watch it

and said,

"Hey, it's pretty good,"

And so they made

a post about it.

Other people

started watching it,

and they're like, "Hey, yeah,

it's actually pretty good."

And it became this kind of,

like, weird phenomenon.

They ended up becoming kind of
