The term used to describe a fan(usually of the older kind, male or female) of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
It is the combination of the words 'bro' and 'pony'
Although 'bro' may refer to males, the term 'brony' is gender-neutral, and thus it may be applied to the male and female fans of the show.
"Brony" is the singular form of "Bronies"
The term was coined on 4chan's /co/ board.

Brony A: "Dude, just finished watching the first season of MLP:FiM!"
Brony B: "Cool! So who do you think is the best pony?"
Brony A mentions the pony they think is best.
Brony B Agrees and exclaims: "Brohoof!"
The bronies then brohoof, similar to a high five.

Typically the term for older or grown-up, male fans of the "My little Pony" franchise. But since there is no common and nalog term for female fans of the show, brony can as well be used gender-neutral.
random Fan #1: Well, although i am male and grown-up, i actually like wathing this new "My little Pony" show.
rndom fan #2: Don't worry, it's cool! We also do. Welcome to the herd, brony.

A teen or adult male fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Like with any other fandom, along with the Brony community, there is a "hater" community as well. Unfortunately, most (and I mean most, because some bronies are nice people) Bronies, fail to realize that the Anti-Bronies have just as much of a right to express their opinion
as the bronies themselves do. Bronies get ridiculed on the internet because of a simple drive in the male mind to like guy things. They tell the anti-Bronies to watch the show, and when they do, some get converted to a brony, and some wind up wanting to pull out their intestines with a fork. When confronted, bronise will usually say things like "love and tolerate" to annoy the anti-Bronies into making them stop. They fail to realize that some bronies are infinitely more annoying than said "haters"

A male fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. They are mostly in the ages of 13-30, and enjoy the show, the fan art, the fanbase, ect. Tough, there is a lot of bullshit going on. The brony thing has only been around ever since October 10th 2010 (the day MLP FiM first aired), and it has become one of, or the, biggest fandom ever. There is a shit-ton of hate towards bronies. And not just people behind their computers. No, people behind their computers, except they dedicate their lives to it. There are Tumblr accounts, Youtube pages, Small websites, and other sources of Internet crap, that update almost EVERY day about how "gay" ALL bronies are. When in reality, most bronies are heterosexuals that just enjoy a show. I'm not in anyway a brony, nor do I hate bronies. But I'm starting to see posts that don't have anything to do with bronies, saying all kinds of stupid bullshit lies. There are a fuck-ton of pony posts on non-pony things too, but at least THOSE posts aren't death threats to innocent people that just watch television like EVERYONE READING THIS THING. The pony posts are easy to ignore anyway. I have met a lot a bronies though, whether it was online, or in person, I have spoken to them for countless hours too, and all of them (besides the ones of 4chan, obviously) were all nice, loving people. And those bronies go to BroNYcon in New York. Yes, it's THAT popular. And those bronies just talk about the show. They don't go around fucking horses.
While I am defending bronies, they are pretty fucked up, though. No offense. But it still seems strange, even to me. And I've been talking to them for over a year. Only like 5% masturbate to pony porn, but who the Hell doesn't use the Internet for porn anyway? There are some bronies that just take it too far, like carrying around the plastic toys in public. Wearing the shirts is fine, but fur-suites are... Yeah. Anyway, like I said before, they go to cons and stuff. Which means THEY GO OUTSIDE. And the anti-bronies mimic the bronies. In such: The bronies spend a lot of their time doing pony stuff, spreading love and crap, so the anti-bronies do the same, but with hatred instead of love. Which means if the bronies draw art of the ponies having fun, the anti-bronies draw art of the ponies getting mutilated which is just fucking gross. And the worst thing is the bronies go outside and draw stuff like murals when they are allowed to, so the anti-bronies deface said murals and vandalise all kinds of pony-stuff. And this is real life I'm talking about. All the work put into some awesome drawing and it gets illegally destroyed. All just because someone likes something someone else doesn't. Disgraceful. So I'm just gonna put this short: Bronies are annoying sometimes, and they can be creeps, but I'd rather spend my whole life being a douche-brony than be around the fucktard anti-bronies. There are nice anti-bronies too, though.

Bronies are the teenage and adult fans (mostly male) of the television show, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"
Though the term "brony" is gender-neutral, some female fans instead refer to themselves as "Pegasisters"
Bronies are generally people who decide to judge something on its quality, instead of whether it's "cool" or "manly" enough.

A silly man who saw an episode of My Little Pony FiM and came to the idiotic conclusion that it was actually worth watching. If there are any in a forum, you can find them quickly, as their sugary avatars and tendency to attack anyone who dislikes their show give them away immediately.
Many excuses are given for this behavior. First is that they like being outside the mainstream, gender norms and societal standards that would require them to act like men don't apply to them, and since they have a right to enjoy MLP, you can’t call them out on it. Often, these bronies will quote C.S. Lewis to deflect accusations of immaturity. Weird Al wrote a parody song for this kind of behavior. It's called "Dare to be Stupid".
Sometimes, instead of being “courageous”, they'll tenaciously maintain, quite ludicrously, that FiM is really a quality show for all ages with good animation, dialogue, and storylines. Those of us with taste and testosterone realize that it has no quality as such.
Basically, bronies are luzers - and quite testy about it too. They're well known to spam up threads with ponies just to prove a point, and this motive doesn’t stay hidden long - once the resistance stops (often by a misguided moderator granting the bronies an easy victory), so does the spam. Despite this, few moderators seem willing to kick them out.
Bronies are a blight on any internet community they join. It's as simple as that.

Fans of the new iteration of the "My Little Pony" franchise; the catch being they are outside than the target demographic (often male 13-30). "Brony" is a gender-neutral term (though for females "bronette" is sometimes used). Formed from the words bro and pony.
Bronies, unlike /b/tards, tend to NOT hate everyone on their sites, and seem to have Unitarian Unviersalist-esque values.
According to KYM, Bronies is at the level of "Internet Subculture" (same level as furries).
Contrary to popular belief, not all bronies have a fetish for horses, or even furry fetishes.
