I got one of my friends to watch it after 8 months of knowing I was a brony and guess what, he likes it a lot. People just need to give it one chance.
I managed to convert one of my friends very quickly into one, I basically told him to check out 'this one video' on youtube, and when he came back, the deed was done and I had my first brony friend.
Nothing to do here in Italy, no one gives a flying feather about MLP, ridicolously insulting whoever like me watches and enjoys MLP. It's really sad.
I have to say im very proud... byy now i converted 4 people to ponies... I dont know why but my friends fall for it easily
