Based on the context of what I wrote earlier, Im referring to the notion of female bronies/fans being in the extreme minority, so much so that the assumption around here seems to be they hardly exist. Certainly the Documentary played a role in propagating the myth.

In actuality there are tons of female fans (present company included), and even during summer Bronycon it seemed like an even split to me (or maybe 60:40 split).

The point is, the male-dominated notion of the fandom is a myth, and a very dangerous one to keep peddling since it threatens to undo the advances the show has made for girls. Carrying the fandom forward needs to be a shared effort, even if only in principle.

Thats a good point, so in a sense the whole question is a straw man argument. We can never set up an environment where it's nothing other than adult males (with an alleged minority of adult females, which is also questionable) who represent themselves as fans of the show here on the most popular brony fansite of all.

[there are other more-PG rated websites, but they dont get the same traffic] >>

It's uncommon to SEE the original demographic watching the show, but that's not to say it doesn't happen, and they're simply not eager, or knowledgeable-enough, to sign into Equestria Daily to profess their love/admiration/respect/like/acceptance/disdain for the show.

I wouldn't be surprised if the target demographic fans outweighed the brony base by a large factor, but contribute little to the voice or funding of the fandom simply because of the inconvenient fact that they have no voice and they have no money. ;)

I know, I'm using the Bluray/DVD to level my computer desk as we speak. >>

Agreed. That sounds way more along the lines of what I actually paid for. Well, fool me once. >>

Indeed, those two are classic examples, and you know I would throw in Turnabout Storm as well (though it doesn't get universal praise either, but it certainly keeps me on my seat). ^^

I wonder if that reality that you describe (which I agree with) does have something to do with the fact that most in our immediate generations watch a lot of TV and film, listen to a lot of music, and play around with computers and games all the time, yet don't really do much in the way of literary activities (like book reading). And as a result, most of us are not accustomed to doing this very well. I would say it's time to take Twilight's advice a little more seriously. ^^:
