Do you think I should change my name? · 10:02am Nov 23rd, 2015
For the longest time, I tried to keep my screenname as "IHateBronyFandom." But as expected, I this game me some difficult challenges. When I first started, people automatically dislike me because of my username. I try to make clear that it's certain parts of the fandom that I dislike, but I can understand that it gives a bad first impressions.
What if I change me screenname to just: "IHatePonies"? I would like to keep my pseudo brony/pseudo anti-brony image. But with that name, it tell people that I don't despise them or their fandom and just shows a little bit of "grievance". And besides, I most write human stories anyway.
...That is actually a good idea...why have I never thought to suggest that...
No, keep it. It makes you, you.
I'm not sure if that will completely solve the problem. I imagine a lot of the same (or similar) people will just give you the same grief. I'm probably wrong though, so give it a shot if you feel like it.
