Dang. Coming back here, three months after I joined the herd... Wow, I've come so far, my idea of brony has changed a lot XD
you'd never guess but i was in fact the biggest pony-hater in all of equestria! i first had contact with ponies when i was browsing around youtube and some "pony *squee!*" was posting all this stuff about ponies and how everyone on earth should watch it so i was al like "dude WTF is this a guy?" so i looked at his videos (all pony related) and i was astonished to say the least. a male with a fairly old sounding voice watching my little pony. so from then on (much like you) i started noticing all these "pony *squee!*s" everywhere blurting all this stuff which no one needs to here (and its true no one needs to here "YOU SHOULD JOIN THE HERD IT IS INEVITABLE!" after just watching an especially gory video. so from then on i started hating bronies and going to heaps of brony videos and trolling just to see how pissed off i could get them. later on in life though i had a fairly rough patch, my favourite teacher (he was actually one of my good out of school friends) died so as per my daily routine i decided to see how badly i could troll some bronies but in one of my comments i let slip that this was happening in my life and needless to say despite my trolling and hating they took me under there wings (unless they were earth ponies or unicorns... then it would be purely metaphorical) and made sure i was OK. at first i was confused and i was thinking things like "dude WTF why are these people helping me i hate every one of them and they know it" but later on i was thinking "you know, this is kinda nice. they've forgiven me for trolling the hell out of them and there only goal is to make sure im all right... maybe bronies aren't that bad." so after this happened i started regularly chatting with a brony on msn (he PM'd me his address and i did the same) and after a few good non pony related chats he decided to finally tell me to watch the first five episodes but i wasn't going down without a fight! i forced him to watch bleach and we had to explain to each other what happened in the five episodes that we watched. so with the deal sealed i went on to watch the first five episodes (of what i thought at the time was torture) after the first two episode i was like "dude this sucks beyond imagination. but i have to keep watching" (i am extreamly honour bound) so wanting to get it over and done with i went through the next three episodes one after another liking each one slightly more than the one beforehand and before i knew what i was doing i clicked on the sixth episode and after that the entire series at the time. that how i became a brony and if you looked im my room today you would see some pretty cool posters of the main 6 big mac and the CMC plastered all over my walls. also to this date i have "converted" five of my friends to become bronies! PS: i am a pinkie pie lover... im exactly like her its uncanny
interesting story bro. I became a brony through memebase (HUGE memebase fan) I noticed this pony section on memebase and one day I decided to check it out. (There were only like two pics in it at that time.) I found the pictures quite cute and strangely appealing. Every week I would check that section and I grew to love it even more... I became more and more curious by the day and one day I tried to download an episode to try it out. (Hiding it from my parents of course) Then to my dismay I found out that my internet blocked torrents. I was so desperately curious that I spent ours trying to find away around it, and eventually I did! I watched the first 2 episodes and was incredibly impressed and confused. I had no idea how I could enjoy a show like this. I downloaded the next 10 episodes and was hooked. I then asked my dad to unblock torrents so I could download mythbusters...but you guys know the real reason why I later realised why I enjoyed the show...I lived in a world full of violence, evil and hate...and here is a show that teaches you how to be a better friend. This exposure to kindness and love sorta swallowed up my brain and I loved it! I didn't tell anyone about it and planned to keep it that way. but then one day my dad downloaded a program to install onto my pc and what did he find downloading in the downloads folder? The whole of season one...He laughed at me and questioned why I watched the show. I was extremely embarrassed by his reaction and because of it became a closet brony... I then started to get a desire to tell people about this awesome show. So one day I told my cousin about it...he too was shocked but he told me he also watched a girly show. Not mlp unfortunately but at least now we had something in common. I didn't get a chance to convert him before he left to go back to his home city unfortunately... But this was the boost I needed and now I proudly support the show without any shame.If anyone asks I will tell them without hesitation. That is basically the whole story up to this point... LoL. The story of my life...
March last year, someone one another I'm on starts bombarding the funny pic thread and pissing off a lot of people (me included). On April 4th, the MLP thread on said forum is started by MercillessOne (now ran a crazy person called Toronado). All through April and May, I loathed the ponies, even to the point of joining the Anti-brony group. On June 1st, I decide to watch an episode, It takes me about 30 seconds to realize I was on the wrong side the whole time. Meanwhile, on "the other side", the one who goes by White & Nerdy takes a stand against MLP calling it things like "pink sugary mess" and "WTF is this?". We all still laugh at his childish stance on the subject. On the day season 2 premiered, unit-one posted this picture from his DA, showing that the we are united and nothing can stop that!
End of october, i was checking KnowYourMeme and saw they had done a little documentary about the phenomenon. I watched it, and tought "heck, why no try it myself?" So i searched Episode 1 and watched it. I did remain extremely sceptic while watching, pointing out every girly thing i saw with myself, but still, i continued watching with episode 2. I didn't like the ending (waay to corny), But i had to watch more episodes! It's so strange, it still felt wrong back then, and still i wanted to watch more. So i watched th entire season 1 and The first 2 eps of season 2. About 5 days after i had watched my first episode i told my friends. Of course they reacted way over the top, but that's how they are, wasn't meant to hurt. 1 month later one of my best friends asks me to give him the youtube channel i use to watch it. I said sure. and that was my first conversion. Just 2 days ago the girlfriend of my non-brony best friend started watching, and now she's hooked as well (still in denial tough, but weren't we all in the beginning?). I don't think my non-brony best friend will fall for it, he's hates cute things, so there goes the fluttershy trick >_> (He enjoyed DRESS.MOV tough )
