There was no big reaction to becoming a Pegasister. I discovered the show by accident back in season 2 when I was channel surfing and, in desperation, turned on this show called My Little Pony. I was obviously pretty happy to have found a new show I could get into, and I didn't know about the Brony fandom until afterward. None of it surprised me, but it did make me happy to see all the appreciation for such an awesome show.
