Keep your sister from finding out- if you have access to your Internet router access Thingy, you can block certain webpages.
Or, you can just tell everyone.

No way that would be really suspicious if that page was blocked.
And telling everyone? Are you nuts? jk. but i really would be taken as a weirdo as my parents really do laugh at that sort of thing and i live in a country without MLP :FiM. ORRRRR i could wait for... ever till my dad becomes a brony. he tends to keep in line with web culture and is sure to find out.

Easier: Sell your sister. You get rich too! Then run away from home due angry parents. On a more serious note: To tell you the truth noone even knows i'm on the MC forums either. goes to show noone knows all about me. That quite normal for the teenage years, you don't want your nosy parents commenting on the things you like, they are so out of touch the now. =p (Of course it isn't true for all teenagers.) On a even more serious note, and more on topic too. The only thing I don't understand is why would your sister watching the show lead you to your family discovering your a brony? Or do you mean you dislike your sister talking about the show because it will ruin the "specialness"?

My reactions really tell... trust me i have no idea how but they can pick up on clues... not to mention i've been using 20% cooler and 10 seconds flat recently. It may not happen but still its a possibility. my parents are smart.

My reactions really tell... trust me i have no idea how but they can pick up on clues... not to mention i've been using 20% cooler and 10 seconds flat recently. I see. Well tbh I don't think you can avoid/prevent your sister from watching the show in the situation you described. There is a chance she might not be attracted to the awesome candy colored ponies... well okay... You could be passive about it, just wait and see what happens. Maybe your sister won't see the sow, maybe your family doesn't pick up on your behavior. I guess this is not the best advice, but it might be the easiest. But whatever you do, don't try to hide it actively, if you are confronted at least be honest and use the good arguments, being avoidance might lead to different conclusions. The whole "gay" thing, shamefully a lot of people, even my parents, tend to link "guys liking a girl shows" with gay. Your second option would be to introduce your sister to show, and be "the internet hyped it" and you watched a bit and thought it might be more suited for your sister. Or be more honest and say you are always watching it, again listing the standard arguments. =p Thirdly, if your dad follows internet trends, maybe it's possible to show him some meme pictures over the internet, to speed up his discovery of the show and then see how he reacts? It might work in your benefit, but you your father best. ___ But I must be honest, I am not the best person to give such advise. I always have been quite openly a brony and when I didn't ide it when bought my Pinky Pie toy. My dad was like "That is kinda gay, you aren't gay eh?" And I just said no and explained the sow and that this was my way of supporting it cause i was watching it illegal. My little brother wanted to burn my toy in the oven. And my mother made a couple of terrible perverted jokes. And both my parents did that during dinner. I just laughed it off and now they already forgot I own a pony I guess, they don't thread or act differently at all.

It could work out better than expected (i listed worst case scenario.)
But my parents are one of those "sure i believe you okay" and doesn't believe or try. they would accept it but he also would post it on their facebook wall. of course there are a few mockers there.
I'm hoping on the"everything went better than expected" way. Or I could excuse it AFTER she finds out. then i could say "I can see why she likes it. and what do you know "pulls up a google search" so does A WHOLE LOT of the internet!"

I have the same problem. My dad thinks I'm gay, my sister won't even talk to me, and my mom won't let me use her computer.
All because of steriotypes... *sigh* Will bronies ever be accepted in the real world?

Brony, that is just harsh man.
My parents mostly made mean jokes about it (some are borderline gay/pedo/sexual or otherwise just really mean spirited) but they don't really treat me differently for it. And they don't joke about it a lot, so I am mostly safe, it still was cringe worthy when I came home after being my Pinky Pie toy.
Did you try talking with your parents? Show them there is a internet full of 12-30 year old males enjoying the show, show them that even the creator finds it logic that there is a lot for males that like, etc. I mean bronies are everywhere and we are one of the biggest meme and voices on the internet, every forum of everything major has a pony topic.

Ha, fat chance. My dad thinks of himself as a "failure of a father". Trust me, I've tried.
My mom thinks that I'm going to try to go on some sort of... Honestly, I have no idea.
My sister rarely talks to me. When she does, it's usualy something along the lines of "hey, fag" or "sup, gaywad". AND SHE'S NINE, FOR THE RECORD.
Whatever, they can think that, IDGAS, to be honest.
