Person A: Hey, is that My Little Pony that you're watching?
Person B: Yeah, I'm a brony. The show was developed by Lauren Faust, who was involved with Powerpuff Girls. The animation is above average, and it isn't dumbed down as most animated shows these days. Give it a try, you might like it.

Bronies are the teenage and adult fans (mostly male) of the television show, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"
Though the term "brony" is gender-neutral, some female fans instead refer to themselves as "Pegasisters"
Bronies are generally people who decide to judge something on its quality, instead of whether it's "cool" or "manly" enough.
I'm a brony and I'm proud of it.

A silly man who saw an episode of My Little Pony FiM and came to the idiotic conclusion that it was actually worth watching. If there are any in a forum, you can find them quickly, as their sugary avatars and tendency to attack anyone who dislikes their show give them away immediately.
Many excuses are given for this behavior. First is that they like being outside the mainstream, gender norms and societal standards that would require them to act like men don't apply to them, and since they have a right to enjoy MLP, you canβt call them out on it. Often, these bronies will quote C.S. Lewis to deflect accusations of immaturity. Weird Al wrote a parody song for this kind of behavior. It's called "Dare to be Stupid".
Sometimes, instead of being βcourageousβ, they'll tenaciously maintain, quite ludicrously, that FiM is really a quality show for all ages with good animation, dialogue, and storylines. Those of us with taste and testosterone realize that it has no quality as such.
Basically, bronies are luzers - and quite testy about it too. They're well known to spam up threads with ponies just to prove a point, and this motive doesnβt stay hidden long - once the resistance stops (often by a misguided moderator granting the bronies an easy victory), so does the spam. Despite this, few moderators seem willing to kick them out.
Bronies are a blight on any internet community they join. It's as simple as that.

Fans of the new iteration of the "My Little Pony" franchise; the catch being they are outside than the target demographic (often male 13-30). "Brony" is a gender-neutral term (though for females "bronette" is sometimes used). Formed from the words bro and pony.
Bronies, unlike /b/tards, tend to NOT hate everyone on their sites, and seem to have Unitarian Unviersalist-esque values.
According to KYM, Bronies is at the level of "Internet Subculture" (same level as furries).
Contrary to popular belief, not all bronies have a fetish for horses, or even furry fetishes.
