That sounds sort of creepy.

Indeed that is creepy. That's breeding grounds for a special type of Brony that has been recently titled as a Bronun. A Brony who has taking such a liking to the show they treat it as reality and if a fan makes something that you don't agree with, you begin chastising the person, creation, or the people that may like it. It's not healthy behavior and not one that honors the code/creed of the true Bronies.
Everything in moderation. ;)
