Discussion: Every Brony Clops?

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?
