 * "Brony" = any male adult fan of the show
 * "Pegsis" = any female adult fan of the show

Basically, their self-made terms the fans gave themselves using the words "Bro" and "Pony" and "sister" and "pegasus". You'll hear the term "Brony" more then "Pegasis" though since the bronys stand out more.

A lot of the haters use the term "brony" to make all the fans look bad since the idea of adults, especially male adults, collecting dolls designed for 8 year old girls is considered ridiculous. However, the reality is the bronys are actually praised for breaking out of the normal demographic for the show and breaking the gender demographic restrictions. Its proof of how culturally things can transcend expectations. But... Hate is hate... so the haters are trying to turn "brony" into something else other then the affectionate meaning the fans dubbed themselves.

Honestly, I have no objection to thinking of myself as a Pegasis since as far as I'm concerned, due to my G1 links as a child I guess I've always been this. My brother also is a Brony, despite I didn't know he was watching the show until he recently told me... I guess its to do with the condition we had in the house ( can watch "MLP" if I watch "Transformaters", he can watch "Transformers" if he puts up with watching my show "MLP"). I admit I ended up watching JUST as many boys' shows as girls shows as a child... Maybe even more since most of them ended up being more interesting? :-/

I don't think Vocaloid fans can criticized bronies as much, because lets face it, at least they came up with a name for themselves... Who are we? "Vocaloid fans"... ^_^'
