When someone is a fan of something, they tend to use pictures of it for their avatar - is that so wrong? I used a Final Fantasy avatar for ages, then I used a Hamtaro one (anyone besides me even know what Hamtaro is?) Now I use a pony based one. Why? Because I love the show. I don't care if anyone else in the area likes the show or not - I decorate my avatar for myself and myself only. It's like when you see some guy/girl walking down the street wearing a T-Shirt with the symbol of some TV Show/Movie/Videogame on it - is she/he demanding that everyone around him/her becomes a fan of whatever their shirt is displaying? No, she/he's just being a fan of something.

The Bronie fandom is (like other fandoms) for all ages and genders - keep in mind it was it was mostly girls first. Also while there may be some who considerer FIM, or Even MLP in general to be a fad - there are those like me who don't, and are just fans because we like the show, and when the fad side of it dies down, we will remain as fans because at the end of the day it's how much we love the show that matters.
