I resisted for years!
Then I heard a coworker talking about it. I asked him, "Are you seriously talking about My Little Pony?"
He said, "Yeah, it's decent. You should watch it."
I was like, "No. Absolutely not. I'm not watching a show for little girls."
But I became curious, so I watched a random episode. My reaction was, "Meh."
Then I heard about the waves made by the season 3 finale, and I knew I had to be missing out on something great. So I tried again, this time starting with the first episode. And for some reason, that made all the difference.
