Ok, I have to admit, I was just trolling when I posted that. I was annoyed that day and decided to be kind of mean. I forgot my own personal golden rule: "Mind thy own business."
Having said that, two things:
First, ok I watched that video. I'll admit it was top notch work by someone who is a dedicated fan of the genre.
Second, it still isn't my cup of tea - but hey... that's ok! I mean I get what you are saying. While I still don't see what the fuss is about for My Little Ponies, I kind of understand. Personally, I like Anime (more of the serious kind, and not so much the goofy comedic kind,) and almost no one I know "gets" that. They just see weird cartoons. So I get ya.
My apologies for being a jerk, keep calm and carry on folks.
I see where you're coming from with the "Nerdy Neckbeard Basement Dweller" Sterotype. It is no secret that the Fandom and even the term "Brony" was born on /b/ of 4Chan, a site with a very negitive, (and deservedly so) stygma attached to it. As with all Sterotypes there are some people that fully embody those kinds of people. However, this 2017.
7 years after the show Debut Brony Conventions are still reporting growing turnouts with the Biggest and Oldest Con "Brony Con" gathering 10,000+ every year. With the show itself currently in its 7th Season and a full Theatrical Movie coming out later this year this Fandom has proven that its past the point of being an "Internet Meme" that gets posted on every site for a week before being dropped as quickly as it was picked up. Every Fan that is still here believes 100% that the Messages and Themes of the Show and the Fandom are still worth following.

If you watch this video and still believe that we are all creepy guys wasting our lives on something that holds no Artistic or Emotional value then thats fine. There are over 7 Billion Humans on this planet who are free to disagree with each other on what they find holds merit. Not everyone has to like Starwars, or Anime, or Lord of the Rings, or Religion; and we are all stronger for that and are very grateful to be living in a place and time where the Freedom to express themselves is okay.
What's not okay is going to places where people who like something and aren't harming anyone else and telling them that they should be ashamed of themselves for the crime of liking something you don't personally enjoy or value. This is the true meaning of the time honored mantra of the the Brony Fandom: Love & Tolerate.
Part 2
All I know about Brony's comes from this college humor video: "My Little Brony."

Watch it (it's short) and let me know if it's inaccurate.
My Dad is actually coming with me to Everfree Northwest this year so yeah, I think he does respect what I've been doing.
