I didn't shout "Lok'tar o'gar" in real life, I didn't wear WoW-clothing any further than a T-shirt or occasionally a pair of socks, even though I was a WoW-fanboy back then. Yet bronies say "everypony" or "anypony" and splurt out phrases from pony-based memes in real life, on top of that they DO wear MLP-clothing like vests, trousers, shoes, the exterior apparel.

You DO realize that pretty much every fandom ever does this? Like the Trekkies who speak Klingon with each other? Or the massive anime community, many of which have taken up learning Japanese just so they can watch the original undubbed shows and and play the games with the original voices? And all the various Doctor Who fans who dress just like the Doctor and made their own sonic screwdriver replica?

Just head on down to Comic Con some day and you'll see stuff like this from every fandom that's being represented there. Your problem isn't with how dedicated people are, it's just how dedicated WE are to a show you think should have stayed as a show just for girls. It's people like you that Lauren Faust wanted to change the minds of. If you refuse to change your opinion, then I'm politely asking you to stop harassing us and go about your merry way, and I won't think any less of you for it.
