About This Project

We plan to explore the ways in which male fans of My Little Pony (Bronies) construct and perform a Brony identity within the context of the larger community at Brony conventions. No reputable studies have been carried out to estimate how many people self-identify as Bronies, though nearly 10,000 people attended last year's Bronycon, the major Brony convention in the United States.
