Ok, so I know what all of you are thinking, good and haters in the same sentence, but as many of you may not know is that without them, the brony fandom wouldn't be as big as it is.
So, what is the number one way that an Internet phenomenon spreads? Through Internet publicity of course. Basically, through the haters, the phenomenon took in so much publicity, whether its negative or positive, that more and more people hear about it.
So, I don't know about you guys but I became a brony partially because of the haters. I heard about brinies through all the hate, I gave it a chance, and BOOM! Now I watch cute little ponies run across the screen 24/7.
So I just wanted to hear what you have to say about it. I personally have to thank the haters for spreading the fandom and giving it publicity, again whether its good or bad.
