Ponies with IRL friends?

So since we've converted several of our members to ponies, I figure now would be an appropriate time to ask this question.

Have you shared the ponies with anyone outside of these forums?

As I've said before, I have one friend who at least acknowledges my fanliness of the ponies. He mentioned the "Avast Fluttershy's Butt" (Have to say butt because of the censor, but the actual song isn't dirty at all) YTPMV one day while we were talking, and he said that "I like the music but I won't get into the show!" really sarcastically. I told him it was a good show, and I guess he kinda figured out over time that I was a brony.

Now for a harder task. There is another one of my friends who I'd like to share the ponies with. However, this will be hard if I try to keep my anonymity. The only access he has to youtube is through his Wii, so I'd have to either somehow get him to look it up himself or to come open about it. I'm really scared to do this though, as he's been a friend of mine for a really long time and I don't want to lose him as a friend. It's also hard, as the amount of insults about a person being gay for something is like, 2x the normal amount anywhere else in the country. Anyone who has shared ponies with others got any advice to help me out?

does family count? or no?

Family counts, as you have to come open to them as well.

Actually, an anime club member introduced me to ponies, so it was the reverse thing for me. And it spread throughout after that.

I saw how the whole pony went down on this forum and it wasn't pretty at all. If there was that much prejudice here, where we all have GC in common then IRL it could be even worse. Eeven I was prejudice at the start of it all and if I am being prejudice then you have no hope lol. I don't even tell anyone about Grand Chase because of da shame. (referral event=tough time for me)

It would be a good way to test for true friends. I kind of keep myself a secret anyway so I won't be telling anyone about ponies. XD

"I used to be a fearsome monster hunter! Now I like ponies"

I'm thinking of maybe slipping him a message inside his bookbag while he's not looking with instructions of where to look up the ponies, or maybe I could send him an anonymous facebook message at the same time I send him a real one. (I could tell him to check his messages so that he would see mine, and then see another from someone else.)

I doubt that would work, Muffin and I refused to watch it until you revealed yourself (not gunna listen to some randomer).

You just have to believe in the magic of friendship.

Who was it that voted yes?

Rarity is right. I haven't told anyone not on KK about MLP tho. My family has no idea.

Yeah I agree with what you said.

I don't personally follow it though since I don't tell anyone anything. I don't see watching MLP as a big enough issue to be worth raising with my family. I prefer to keep things to myself.

I think if your friend stops being so due to the fact that you watch a show on the internet, then he/she isn't a very good friend.

I answered yes. I didn't plan on it but when you watch it on the TV there's not much stopping someone walking in. Anywho my brother, mother and father all know. I'm not gonna try to hide that I watch it too my friends, however I don't plan on converting them either.

Brave soul, I'll have to follow your example!

Hey, Rarity, whut's yer FB name?

*facehoof*

Oh btw I set 'I love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' as my MSN, Skype and Facebook status.

Does that count?

Rarity's msn reads "My Little Pony is the bestest thing ever and I love it forever and ever and ever" (needs Friendship is Magic added on imo)
Does this mean that you are a step ahead of everypony now? Probably does. How2overtake?

My facebook profile pic is of Twilight Sparkle. (ever since I got banned)

I don't remember telling anypony that. If another did exist no one here was emant to know about it. XD

I knew I never told ya! Slightly obvious now but meh.

Alsot he msn thing is more appropriate now lol
