the whole appreceation for ponies started back on 4chan's /co/ board. so it is pretty safe to say that's where the first bronies came from. Spoiler: huge pic, WILL contain explicit language
This video is the closest you'll get to finding the first Brony. [video=youtube;olLDrvc1qt4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olLDrvc1qt4[/video]
The people who liked G1 you can consider to be the 'original bronies'. From what I've heard, some fans of previous gens actually hate us because we aren't as 'hipster' as them.
Trust me when i say that discussion oepned enough cans of worms that it is buried at the bottom of a lake, OF FIRE GUARDED BY SNAKES!
I like a lot of clop I've seen, but anthro is weird to me. Same reason I've never been able to enjoy furry art. I like animals to look like animals and humans to look like humans.
um, guys, you're kinda going off topic for humanized and/or cloping discussion there's already topic about it: http://www.everypony.com/forums/sho...-art-and-Humanized-Anthropomorphized-pony-art on topic: well, I'd say that perhaps first bronies were those that simply had the hub when show started, and watched it because they had nothing smarter to do, and there was nothing on tv, so they got hooked. they might not be on internet (or weren't before they became bronies)
If you want to get technical, the people that coined the term "Bronies" were the first bronies. I remember finding the first ever post on 4chan about MLP but I can't seem to find it anymore.
I've watched it since November of 2010, but I don't know if they were actually labelled as 'bronies' back then. I wasn't aware of it >.>
Wait! Your only talking about G4 bronies, there are bronies out there who have watched the show since G1, if you really one to find the first brony, talk to them.
I knew about ponies around Dec 2010 - Jan 2011 (if only I joined then...*regret*) I ignored 4chan and went on my merri way until April... when I gave in to the friendship... I haven't looked back since. ; u ;
*cough* opinion *cough* Aaanyways...Yeah, you wanna get specific, the first male to watch and enjoy mlp was no doubt during G1, of course this "mane" fandom wouldn't have flourished without the internet, so we may never know *exactly* when the first brony was created.
