Pinkamena Diane Pie! You are not allowed to give everyone diabetes tonight! Close those overly cute eyes confound it!
Have some
Know Your Meme Forum Survey
Copy Paste:
Thanks for helping with this survey! This questionnaire asks 26 questions of people who know about the show, have watched it, and have an opinion about it and the brony community. (It is tailored mostly for those who enjoy the show, but those who do not like the show but know about it and the community can respond to many of the items.) Please respond as accurately as you can. These items have been chosen to get an idea of who the Internet-based viewers are, what they like, what they do, and how they feel about the show and the fandom. This survey has been inspired by previous surveys. However, we (the authors) also felt inspired to improve upon those questions by offering a wider range of answers from which you can choose or NOT choose.
We would like for you to be as truthful as possible, but if you do NOT feel comfortable about answering any question, then you can skip the question without answering AT ALL. Any question you can answer will be helpful. This questionnaire will NOT ask who you are, and we will NOT release or publish any individual's responses.
If you have any questions or suggestions, then send me an email at: [email protected].
Hit the survey up here!

@Latvian Meetup
VastaKustutaIf I ever need to picket I'm def drawing a pony on it.
So cute, glad to see so many more people are having their own get-togethers, that is really awesome! The unnecessary censored thing was super cute too! Thanks again for sharing ^_^
VastaKustutaI was cracking up during the survey, my favorite shipping couple took far too long to figure out (I settled on TwiShy)
VastaKustutaOoo, a survey! This should be a quick and easy task that's sure to give someone a hand!
VastaKustuta>Who is your favorite pony?
>Which is your favorite episode?
Well, buck.
Wait wait, SINGAPORE MEETUP? How did I miss this!? I need to pay more attention to these things!
VastaKustutawow, not alot of comments on this one, awesome RD hat!!
VastaKustutaAlso, I had no favorite ship, so I picked Zecora x Braeburn, MAKE IT HAPPEN
VastaKustutaAh the dreaded corrupting influence of censor bleeps. Delightful insanity.
VastaKustuta"ponysexual" on the survey
VastaKustutascuse me??
DIABETES i love EQI always makes me laugh
VastaKustutayay...lesbury!
VastaKustutaYUSH! Another of the meetups I went to got posted (Aylesbury, I'm the one with the giant green shades)
VastaKustutaTheres going to be Lehigh Valley Meetup on the 25th is there a way you can include that in tomorrows nightly roundup
VastaKustutaDamn it, Singaporeans! I thought I was the only one in a 100 miles. When was this announced?
VastaKustutaThat survey was fun.
VastaKustutaI'm really intrested in the results of this survey...
VastaKustutaToo late. I am already having a heart attack from Pinkie up there. HNNNNNGGG!
VastaKustutaHaha. The term "Ponysexual" was in that survey. Well... that's a new term to me.
Those Censored Ponies videos are kinda funny.
No comments, only a simple link for our meetup, Seth? Pfft! Also, I still hate how awful I seem to photograph.
I think they had to make up a word for that.
VastaKustutaI certainly can't think of one. "Furry" (even "yiffer") doesn't accurately describe it, nor does "zoophile," obviously. /shrug
Anywho, took it, and am curious of the results. Saddened though they didn't have an option for other creative projects rather than fanfiction/art/music (game designer here, and there are quite a few fan games in production).
I think the survey was very good. Should be some interesting results, assuming they can avoid any parasprite swarms.
VastaKustutaAnd yeah, also sad about lack of "fan game developer" option :/
oh my goodness the censored pony vid is SOOOO hilarious. Pinkie Pie must have had something to do with it.
VastaKustuta@Chromosome
VastaKustutaSilly filly. You are not aware there's a Singapore Bronies Society?
@B David Lin
VastaKustutaThere's a Singapore Bronies Society if you're not aware.
Bluh, Dream World is such a terrible game. Sometimes I hate that I'm a badge hunter.
VastaKustutaAny other fellow Kongregate bronies out there going to join with me?
wow all these meet ups. i think we are going to be more well known than some famous organizations and charitys soon lol
VastaKustutayay another censored version
VastaKustutaAutor on selle kommentaari eemaldanud.
VastaKustutaBuilding on notable omitted choices in the survey pointed out by @wloff:
VastaKustutaParticipation: Sing along
Like show for: music/songs; animation quality; it's about ponies
Buy other official merch: example: lunchbox, backpack, food, coloring book.
Social Network -- include blog, community, forum.
Favorite pet: missed phoenix
Important secondary characters not on list: Photo Finish, Gilda (gryphon), Little Braveheart, Aloe & Lotus
Religion: Christian -- should not have been split.
Survey didn’t ask who our favorite villains were
VastaKustutaDiscord, no arguing here.
VastaKustutaSo the first rule is no ****ing and no magic, but the second rule is every one has to **** or he wins...Discord you troll.
VastaKustutaThe ending to the censored ponies... I KNEW someone was going to f***ing do that! I KNEW IT! I about fell over *****ing myself silly! XD
VastaKustutaWe need a Northern Kentucky Meetup.
VastaKustuta@Matt Steinhauer
VastaKustutaI think you do too ^^ I live in South Cincinnati, it would be so much closer if there was a Northern Kentucky group.
The survey had some very interesting choices. Like "I am a brony, but I do not like the show."
VastaKustutaUh, how does that work?
I guess the creator of the survey wanted to cover EVERY angle.
Also, favorite ship? Argh, how can I choose? Derpy/Dr. Whooves? Rarijack? Maybe I should buck the social standards (ha!) and put down Soarin'/Braeburn (I should really get around to reading "Social Standards" when I get a chance).
VastaKustutaI genuinely enjoy all three of the above pairings, and I can't choose!

Wasn't sure what ship I liked best out of Rarity x Spike and Twilight x Fluttershy, so just went with TwiShy.
VastaKustutaIts nice to see so many meet ups are happening around the world.
@Everyone commenting on the survey. Thanks for the comments. Especially the criticism.
VastaKustutaApparently, there is a 4,096 character limit on comments, and I didn't want to spam with multiple posts.
But there were some legitimate omissions on our part that we didn't catch in the pilot, and some omissions weren't in the scope of our survey. If we chose to run the survey again, we'd add in more responses to better catch a snapshot of the fandom and to include new characters and episodes.
Also, some of the items weren't just covering all of the bases. Some responses have a particular hypothesis behind them. So even the oddest choices have some rationale to them
In any case, thanks so much for the interest. I was afraid that the spreadsheet might not be able to hold all of the responses. My fears are justified. Haha.
so when can we expect results from this "survey"?
VastaKustutalove those WWU vests from the ohio meetup
VastaKustutaLatvian Bronies. YAY! ^^
VastaKustutaOh.
VastaKustutaMY.
GOD.
Verbose, if you're watching this, it's Pyro. Congradulations on the EqD get, buddy. As for everyone else, some of you may know me fron KYM's Pony General, under the name Pyro. I was one of the preliminary takers of the survey, as constructed by my friend Verbose. The results of the preliminaries were quite interesting. Can't wait to see what the results are now that it has reached EqD. Hope you all enjoyed it.
Discord's rules are a bit conflicting.
VastaKustuta@Argumedies
VastaKustutaDepends on how mine and opspe's class work goes (we're university students) and when the response rate slows down. The end of the survey and the beginning has contact information as to where the results can be obtained. I'll also submit the results to EqD, but it may not be published. verbosethetalky at gmail dot com is where you can request a personal copy of the write-up.
As for the villains:
1. That was not within the scope of our study. That is to say, we did not mean to seek out that answer in our survey.
2. In terms of villains, I'd consider there to be only two in Nightmare Moon and Discord. I wouldn't consider other antagonists like Trixie and Gilda to be villains, so it'd be an either or question.
3. We had a lot of questions we could have asked, but we wanted to keep the survey relatively short. We didn't want respondents to get halfway and quit because it was just so long. Also, we were not offering any direct compensation, so we felt an ethical need to make the experience as quick and painless as possible as per my training.
Also, you seem particularly skeptical. I have two bachelor's degrees in the social sciences along with over 3 years of research experience in methodology and dissemination with a few peer-reviewed publications and presentations in my name. I'm at least decent at this sort of thing. ;) If you'd like to ask more about the survey, then send me an email at the address above. I'd love to tell you about how we came up with the collection tool and give more details about our aims (along with the results of the pilot of which Pyro spoke above.) I can also go into the previous surveys used to come up with this questionnaire and how we hoped to improve upon them, along with my personal theoretical backgrounds and my training in theories involving symbolic interactionism.
Seth, you should know by now that ponies have no On/off switch when it comes to cute.
VastaKustutaCase and point: Fluttershy.
Caring deeply for animals = Cute.
Cheering about as loudly as a dog whistle is to human ears = Cute.
Laughing maniacally and catching small, furry animals in her teeth in a slightly carnivorous love-hungry frenzy = Cute.
Do you see my point now, Seth?
That is actually G3, but whatever you hate previous generations.
