Meet the brony: A guy who is a huge fan of the childrens' cartoon, My Little Pony. There are over a thousand of such fans in Singapore.

Now, it's easy to think of them as “weird” at first glance, and almost unattractive – grown men who are crazy about a cartoon meant for five-year-old girls (as it is commonly assumed); a show about rainbow coloured ponies learning life lessons through songs and on-screen adventures.
But watch this video from RazorTV and you’ll realise that these guys are just about the same as your brother, boyfriend or husband indulging in their passions, be it Star Wars or football. And no different from a girl who’s into Lego and Gundam figurines, either.
Listen to what these bronies have to say about their “peculiar” obsession, how it’s changed their lives and their dreams for the future. Plus, bite-sized facts of the show that you never knew.
So, would you date a brony – a man who appreciates the creativity of others?
