I see what you mean now. Honestly, I still say go for it.
What you do as an individual isn’t going to affect the perception of the brony community at large. Whether you acknowledge your other persona or now, there are still people out there who are going to think ill of bronies (just like they do furries).
EDIT: Follow the conversation thread up through here instead of the post link.
I think you’re right. I also think that people shouldn’t say that cloppers are a minority of the brony fandom, but rather they’re discreet.
I still don’t get Twilight and Trixie.
A commission thing.
Expect something REALLY REALLY special for me. Oh and I will be opening my commissions publicly soon.
Wow!
Good team~
RULES WARNING. Damn! This barely stays behind the line for incest.
I just want to point out that Twilight’s hair looks like young Princess Cadence’s.

My personal opinion is people just need to not freak out about the idea of clop. I demand a general respect for my interest in clop content. In return, I respect the fact that many people don’t want to ever have to run into clop content, and I do my best to accommodate them. I have both SFW blog and a NSFW blog. And I keep them separate. The only people who find my clop blog are people who actually want to.
Essentially, everyone should respect each other. Non-cloppers should acknowledge and respect the existence of cloppers, while cloppers should respect that not everyone is into what they are, and keep their content discrete.
It’s pretty much the same dynamic that should be for bronies vs. non-bronies. Non-bronies need to respect that bronies exist and there is nothing wrong with that, and bronies need to not offensively effusive about their interests.
So yeah, I’d say acknowledge both of your identities. And don’t give a damn about people who may look down on you.
Never be afraid to just be yourself, but always respect the boundaries of others.
Thank you for your input. I agree with what you’ve said. However, my concern is not with others’ perceptions of me as an individual. I am more concerned about the perception of the brony fandom as a whole.
As I said, I fear that bronies are going the way of furries in that both bronies and furries get hate for having large proportions of sexual perverts which might actually be justified. I see bronies (and furries) defending their fanbase(s) against these accusations by saying something like, “Every fanbase has a messed-up side, but it’s only a minority.” Is that still true for the brony fanbase? The furry fanbase?

Answer to the title: Of course not. But apparently many do, and aren’t ashamed to admit it. Read on.
I’ve mentioned in two separate posts that I have a “SFW” brony identity, and a recent Twitter exchange (referenced here) is pushing me to acknowledge that they’re the same person.
First things first: Why the separation? The easiest answer is that I wouldn’t want to lay clop (and other sexual content) on people who are not interested in it.
But many people at the very least acknowledge the SFW identity from the NSFW one (and less often the NSFW from the SFW). I have tried to maintain a strict separation between my two identities: I have not acknowledged the other from either, and I try not to take things that show up under one and post them on the other.
The reason for that has more to do with the perceptions of clop in the brony fandom, from both inside and outside. A common accusation made by haters and trolls is that many/all bronies clop. Of course it’s a false generalization to say that all bronies clop, but whether “many” do or not is harder to determine.
I fear that the brony fandom is going the way of the furry fandom: Haters say that a large majority of fans get off to sexual content, and that might actually be true. I do not want to contribute to that. (The only difference is that brony conventions are SFW, unline furry conventions. [The largest furry conventions allow NSFW content (“yiff”), but it’s placed in restricted areas, if I recall correctly.])
What do you think? Are my concerns justified? Should I go ahead and acknowledge my other identity?
