I suspect the deal is that some Bronies flaunt it like some sort of pride badge wherever they go.
I say we make a big sign stating that we only deal with magical talking foodstuff called Yukkuri, that we don't deal with ponies, barneys, teletubbies, pokemons, etc.

Are you talking about these things? http://www.ponibooru.org/post/list/blob/1 I don't think you'll find abuse of them unless you draw it yourself. I haven't looked that hard for it but I don't think it's nearly as popular as yukkuri.

After giving it some consideration: It's the closest the west will come to making a show like Azumanga Daiyo or Lucky star. and There is a ton of fan-made material. Even if you don't like the show itself the fan-made stuff can still be interesting. I particularily like Friendship is Witchcraft and the Mentally Advanced Series.
Seriously, those people look for anything to try and validate their fetish as a legitimate lifestyle. This show just happens to be their current "banner" that they constantly interject into everything to make themselves feel better about their bad life choices. The other 10% of the fanbase have serious nostalgia-googles on.
Please don't do that. You'll trigger their fursecution complex like how it happened in a lot of other sites, and we'll never hear the end of it.
You're both about as off base as you can get. Hilariously enough, most of the furry fanbase apparently tries to largely disassociate with My Little Pony, as if it makes them SO much better for it.
It started with the fact that a MLP show was actually watchable and /co/ flipping shit over it. A fair chunk of them started acting hipster as shit over the fact that they watched it, then socially awkward/deficient people thought the "I'm a brony" thing was serious and tried turning it into a way of life.
Thus you end up where we are now. A pretty sad, if hilarious, state. Watching things like Bronycon (aka Spaghetticon) is enough to make you feel both deeply ashamed of the human race and in tears with laughter.
@poweryoga Actually, I feel I speak for most of the MLP: FiM bronies when I say that we just feel the current series is hilarious. Don't confuse bronies for fans of the old mlp series. That stuff is crap. We enjoy the new one. Here's a clip from the show with some portal soundbytes thrown in to show why its so funny. Hint, watch the eyes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9ycU3d_gZw
