Do you think bronies are crazy? · 8:20pm Nov 26th, 2013
There are three requirements for any mental disorder to be considered a disorder.(According to the DSM-5 criteria)
The three Ds
Distressful
Dysfunctional
Deviant(weird)
It's very common to confuse Deviant behavior with crazy behavior.
I consider the large majority of the fandom to be deviant at one degree or another.(grown up men following with all seriousness a show made for little girls)
However unless is either dysfunctional or distressful its nothing that would mediate therapy. Also it would need to be all three Ds, and at a significant degree in-order be classified as either a disorder or crazy behavior.
Therefore I like to give a message to all bronies who think they might be crazy for being what they are:
Being a brony does not make you crazy in any level.
If anything it only makes you kind of weird.
What are your thoughts?
We usually have mental disorders, and seek to fix them by doing 'un-normal' things. This is just my opinion in a nutshell, though.
In all honesty, I find bronies sexy. So, there's that too...

However in a venn diagram, only a small fraction of all bronies have serious mental issues.

3538932 Oh Gawd. Did I really made this blog post? Of all the random blog post ideas that I never actually wrote I ended up writing this one. :/
I somehow managed to forget writing this although it totally has my hand print all over it. I probably should be concerned that my memory has decayed enough for me to forget writing one of my blog posts.
Granted I wrote this nearly two years ago, in a library, late in the day when I was bordering exhaustion and my concept of the fandom had yet to fully mature as I only had a few months within the fandom at the time.
...I should probably make an update to approach this topic and other related in a fresh and new perspective.

Nah

What could possible go wrong?
