What surprises me is that you are using the word "pegasister", I'd thought that was a word in use in the early fandom that died out in favor of "brony" becoming non-gender-specific. Apparently not?

Oh, well full disclosure here, I'm not really that well versed in MLP fan etiqutte sorry , I only got into the series very recently, and just assumed that Brony was the male fan name and Pegasister was the female one. I didnt realise that Brony had become non gender specific. So I could be using Pegasister in error and you are probably correct here.

Speaking of which, can anyone recommend some good MLP websites, I've found equestria daily but thats about it so far

OMG I find it sooooo odd that fluttershy seems to top all the polls on there as favourite. She is cool and all, but I prefer her mean moments (like the dischord episodes in season 2) and her serious moments (like telling Twilight what is what when she is doing magic on Fluttershys pets in season 3 ep 5) to her normal personality. I find it hard to believe her extreme meekness is so popular, especially if there are supposed to be "so many" male fans of MLP, correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I understood it (and from my experience) males and meekness tooootally dont mix .

What makes me really sad is that Rarity never seems to make even the top 3

Bit if an oxymoron, from my past experience males and MLP don't mix but yet here we are! XD

Also that's what makes Fluttershy the best, her bipolar personality.

Interesting... so she sort of sums up the male fan base then, her popularity kinda makes sense now actually

I must say I did totally looove it when she went bipolar and flipped at the dragon in 'dragonshy'

Plus she probably has one of the funniest quotes (anywhere) of all time in "hey twilight, wahts wet and clueless, YOUR FACE!" (before pouring the bucket of water on her in  the dischord episode) hahahahaha

I'm not exactly an expert on the community, I could well be wrong and pegasister is still in vogue or there could be differences based on "where" in the Internet you are.  Pegasister sounds awkward to me but I doubt there's any "etiquette" against it, if that's what you want to think of yourself as then go for it.

I did read that Pegasister was the currently acceptable MLP female fan term (and it sounds soooo cool!), but I really wouldn't know for sure if its 100% right. Thanks for the info though, It is always great to learn more , keep any helpful hints coming
