Today I would like to talk about the term "Pegasister". Is it right to use? The term is used to separate the male and female fans of MLP. It makes sense, after all, the word Brony comes from the word Bro, which is short for Brother, and brothers are male. (Duh!) However, in a fandom where gender stereotypes are non-existent, it is pretty hypocritical of us to seperate the fandom by gender. I used to have no problem with the word Pegasister until recently, when I realized that it was Nazi-esque of us to segregate ourselves. However, I have come across lots of girls who call themselves Pegasisters, not Bronies. So, my conclusion is if you are a female fan of the show, you can choose what you would like to be called, a Brony or a Pegasister. And, if you are a Brony, please respect what other people would like to be called! We can be a peaceful fandom that way!
What are your thoughts? Do you think it is right to call people Pegasisters? Tell me in the comments!
