But why is the pity there, I mean it's just an opinion? If someone else likes something that you personally don't, there should be little/no reason to pity them for it. I was actually a moderate brony hater for a while, so I know exactly where you're coming from. And when I say "the average brony," I'm sure as hell not talking about the shitty, fedora-clad stereotype that we're put under. If everything you've heard from us is coming from places like Reddit and 4chan, you really need to look more into it.
