This. OP, let me explain something to you: NOBODY is your ally. Remember that, and you will never be betrayed. It sucks to have this blackpilled worldview of people around you, but it's true, and the sooner you learn it, the better. Don't forget how so many liberal feminists got bamboozled last week when they heard that "lots of women are voting and voting early!"

Dogs barking. Buy some of those swimmer's ear plugs, that's what i did. Learn how to fight, just in case. Also, find that bitch and tell her what she is. If you don't, you'll regret it.

What the fuck is it 2012 again? Anyone I mention ponies to in meatspace in the year of our lord 2024, they always react the same way:
>bronies are still a thing?
Then they genuinely are impressed with my commitment to autism.
Are you an underaged b& or something OP?

>>41644878
To elaborate. What i mean by "dogs barking", is that they are all just dogs barking at cars (you are the car). If you imagine their head on a small dog's body barking at you in a car, it just becomes absurd. Listen to Pinkie, and laugh at the things that scare you, even if you have to force yourself. If you can't laugh, smile. Always smile. You don't need to do a training montage and turn yourself into Mike Tyson overnight; just go for some walks, do some calisthenics, and watch some videos about how to punch, kick, and all that shit. Don't go looking for fights (animal cruelty is wrong), just don't let yourself be litterly pushed around. Tell that bitch to go to hell, just so you know for absolute sure that you can. Think about what you want to say, so you don't have to think under pressure, and say it. Keep it short ans sweet. It's good for you're self esteem, and, god willing, you will never see that rancid cunt again, and therefor never be able to tell her what's what. It isn't about her, it's about getting it off your chest. (maybe rescue Pinkie from her, if you are feeling bold.)
Seriously, if nothing else, buy some wax ear plugs. Good luck.

>>41644569
I had that happen to me once. One of my friend's girlfriends overheard me talking with him about ponies jokingly (he knows I'm a horsefucker). She approached me later and asked if I'm a brony and I said yes. She instinctively recoiled and said "ew" and then I pressed her to elaborate what was so wrong with it. She backtracked her statement and apologized. I know it sounds like a Ben Shapiro "debate me" anecdote but it sometimes pays to just press people on about things.
>>
>>41644886
yeah it's weird seeing brony hate in 2024,im p sure most normie don't care
>>
>>41645103
The unfortunate truth, OP, is that this girl doesn't find you weird because you like mlp, she finds you weird /and/ you like mlp. Mlp was just an acceptable vector of expressing this disgust.

Are people really this autistic? I thought it was a meme that people on this site were terrible at social interaction.
Obviously you don't just blurt out you the name of an mlp character to some rando you just met. You work you way up.
>"Wow that's a cute keychain."
>"Thanks Anon, I got it at [insert store] it's from this tv show I used to see as a kid."
>"Oh yeah, I've seen this Pink pony on things before, what's she from?"
>"Oh yeah, her name is Pinkie Pie—"
>"Oh cause she's pink!" [You already now her name but you butter her up with NPC talk]
>"Haha, yeah. Get it? Pinkie Pie because she's pink, anyways the show is called My Little Pony."

And from there you have your inroad, a way to still be perceived as a normie. Also bonus tip, when called out don't just say "Maybe" that is the worst weak shit centrist response you can give, either own up or deny it.

that's so retarded, though. Why can't we just talk about ponies? Obviously she likes them otherwise she wouldnt have the keychain. I had a similar experience with this girl with this big Portal patch on her bag, I told her nice patch and she was like "what" and when i told her about portal she was like "i dont play video games"

>Obviously she likes them otherwise she wouldnt have the keychain.
Anon your autism is showing. Females often display shit just because they think it looks cute, or they liked it when they were kids. She doesn't like ponies the same way you or I like ponies. You have to approach it like >>41645634 said.

I get that revealing your power level and all being stupid is the general consensus, and to a girl no less - but I did it in 8th grade when it was at its peak. Managed to not only get away with it, but the girl who crushed on me used it as an outlet to get my attention and drew art of my OCs.

They don't truly like them though. The past majority of people simply go for vibes/asthetic i.e. they're filthy casuals.

You think that everyone that owns hello kitty merch is well versed in hello kitty media and is knowledgable about hello kitty lore?
>>
>>41644569
I'd recommend not even approaching female fans. Some of them are hostile to male fans, and you can't easily tell which ones are safe. On top of that, there are girls who have pony merch solely because it's cute, and they know little to nothing about the show. You're likely to embarrass yourself if you try to discuss ponies with one of them.

You didn’t fuck up by revealing your power level, you fucked up by revealing it to a bitch. All of my friends know I’m into pnoy but I’d never talk to a girl about it, ESPECIALLY if they have merch. They’re nothing but blabbermouths and attention seekers who will nail anyone to a cross to feel better about themselves.
>inb4 incel
Won’t work, I don’t like girls that aren’t mares anymore anyways, and most women annoy the shit out of me and I try to avoid them when I can. The only women I ever like being around are my mom and my sister, and a friends wife.

>>41645607
This is very based.
This is exactly what many people fail at, including OP.
They instantly fall into the victim category instead of trying to confront normies or at least show genuine indifference (no, pretending not to hear them is not showing indifference, staying quiet is playing into their game).
Normies are not people with much character, let alone personality or convictions.
If you make them uncomfortable right away, they will shut down for good.
It's not fighting, it's just trying to show them how childish they are, while you are the adult who doesn't change anything when he finds out that x likes y; you are more than that.

>>41645839
You don't even know man. I was into CoD zombies at the time, as any teenager was in 2012-13, and drew art of my OCs as a zombies cast with guns. I barely feel cringe at doing that (proudly displaying that in my school binder in the clear plastic pocket in the front) cause I owned it, but I acknowledge that that was very cringe. She drew art of my OCs and into High school continued to do so as we became friends. I was oblivious, and we eventually got into a relationship. We bonded over my main OC and she even became a fixation in her study in an art career. Doing art, animations, comics. Have a whole sketchbook full of my OC. Even a couple loods. Art hoes are just different man.

You see anon, a lot of people out there, I don't know how many but a lot, wake up everyday and, like, 90%+ of why they wake up every day is over is what people think of them and what other people think of others. As such, a person who is a girl might have a key-chain of a cute show she hasn't seen, and it's no social hit to her. But the moment a guy even hints at it to someone, their brains immediately darts back and forth to his/her perceptions of what other people are thinking and triangulates to a position of ridicule and contempt for you, unless the person is cool but you made the mistake of trusting someone you didn't know.

Thankfully I’m not a whipping boy for hoes and not desperate for sex so that word means nothing to me. Seriously though, have you tried talking to a woman about literally anything you’re very passionate about? It’s like pulling teeth. This is for any fandom; Pony, WoW, Anime, Star Wars. If they’re into it, it’s either because a dude got them there or they’re trying to be a token girl. Take a retard, remove their ability to have any sincerity/individuality, and that’s the average girl.

>retards projecting their insecurities onto imaginary situations
Like >>41644886 and >>41645609 said, this shit didn't happen. Normies do not give a fuck about ponies in AD 2024, and they're long past being the weirdest thing for a grown man to like in public. I mean, shit, I was in 4th grade in 2013 and kids were openly calling themselves "bronies" and meming about the show behind a layer of irony.
I don't get why modern bronies have this bitchy victim complex, other than maybe being some vestigial psychological defense mechanism.
Stop using ponies as a scapegoat. The main thing turning girls off is your social skills, not the fact that you like ponies (even though it probably doesn't help).
>>
>>41646287
The group of these people that irk me the most is the progressive pro-LGBTQ+ crowd who seem to have a problem with men liking the show.
Just shows how contradictory and baseless their viewpoints are.

Thus was your mistake OP. By saying "maybe", you put yourself on the defensive.
You should have said "yeah, is a good show. Like it?". If she responded with a "no" or a "ew", you respond with "well, what do you watch?"
You never surrender terrain. And if she said "not that show", then you answer "you are boring." Social events may as well be psychological warfare nowadays, and we are always in a losing battle. If we were as social as them, we probably wouldn't have seen pony, but we would've lost a lot of fun.
Defend your stand, defend your fun. Defend your ponies.

Can confirm. I've been unable to have romantic relationships with women because i'm mentally fucked and terrified of rejection, not because I like ponies. Incel anons act like women are npcs to be manipulated into fucking you, and to do so you need to reject all this superficial bullshit. Tate has ruined a generation of men, I swear.
