It is what the title describes. Please, people, keep in mind that I made very large generalizations when it came to identifying the subgroups. If I were to really delve into the true minute subgroup details of all of the Bronie culture, I would probably keel.

Please note people: With any social analysis comes both acceptance and rejection. Many of you will feel that this is all complete crap, doesn't represent anything accurately and the like. If you do feel this way, please realize I am only one person and never got a degree in this. If you harbor these sentiments, then I beg of you to post your feedback which you believe will improve my analysis. Thank you for your cooperation.

Culture isn't a a heirarchy.  It's a venn diagram.

I think I started off a moderate and became a unhappy.

I was fine just liking ponies, and now you got me thinking about why.
Very confusing, but thanks anyway.

I'm a typical moderate myself.

I'd say I fall somewhere between 'moderate' and 'unhappy'. Not a very daring analysis overall, but good work none the less. It was certainly important someone created something like this.

I am a Moderate, though I like it mostly for the story and characters as opposed to the technical aspects. I mostly fanfic, with a bit of fanart on the side. And I detest clopfics.

One problem i find in this analisis is the categorical distinction between modeartes and unhappies. You have to remember that in reality depression, anxity and even bad periods in life are not binary states but rether gradiants, and recation to the show stand on the very same gradiant as well.

Is it really true that people are sugjested to watch MLP:FiM to free them from depression or at least help them? I never knew how powerful of a story this show has... it is simply increadable.

Your analysis is very eye opening thank you

I started to watch this cartoon a month ago and i noticed that its on higher level of maturity than other cartoons (like you said) my so called ,,friends,, were like ,,OMG its stupid gay and for little girls ,, ... i see that they automatically threw me in the group of ,, wierd ,, people . It saddens me that they are looking at it this way. Your analysis is great work, you perfectly described the groups. I think im something between the Unhappy and Moderate because a lot of things in both fit me :) Few of my real friends understood point of this anime when i translated this analysis to them and now they accept the fact its good stuff. One of them even started to watch it :) accept my thanks. (Sorry for possible mistakes in post... Im from slovakia and only 16 years old)
