  1. A couple weeks ago TheAmazingAtheist took some test from Harvard that was supposed to determine if you had inherent bias. Anyways I decided to take it to. Will turns out I do have implicit bias against people of other races and the opposite gender. Which really only confirmed something I sort of already knew about myself. Around the same time I got interested in watching MLP FiM. I really enjoyed the first two episodes and decided to watch the entire season. Before I go on I need to explain something about myself. Even though I am young one thing that bothers me personally to an extent is the thought that I am racist or sexist. Even if only subconsciously. Anyways a few weeks ago I started watching Luke Cage. One thing I never thought about while watching it was that there where no white characters. Anyways I only noticed it until one of my family members mentioned it. Usually I am the type of person that once you mention something I can't stop thinking about it. Even if I don't agree with it. What this helped me realize was that I'm not racist. The fact that Luke Cage has like two white actors doesn't bother me. I know that sounds silly but I genuinely don't want to be racist. Now at this point I think you know where this is going. If Luke Cage helped me realize I'm not racist then how did My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic help me realize I'm not sexist. To be honest I'm the type of person that when reading a book will default to assume that a character is white or male. Yes I know I am racist. Anyways I am trying to get better at not doing that. One thing I was worried about while watching MLP was that subconsciously I was substituting the characters female genders for a male one. I know that sounds stupid but this is something that bothers me. I'm not really a nice person in general I guess so I don't want to make things worse by being sexist. Anyways after watching season one I realized that I am not sexist. Even though I am a male and the main characters are female I found that I still enjoyed them and could relate to them. I don't care that there female. And yes I realize it's silly to say that I can relate to amphmorphiszed cartoon characters but that's just the way I feel. Hey why is no one viewing this?
  2. I started watching because I found the characters interesting and I enjoyed the animation. I also liked the songs and comfort. Why did you start watching?
  3. Thanks for replying to my post. Why isn't anyone New posting to this?
  4. My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Fluttershy How did you find MLP Forums?: I was looking for MLP forum sites on Google How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I watched Ballad Of The Brony documentary afterwards the show interested me. Hello everyone my name's TheImmortalLegendG. But you can call me Tilg. Pronounced Ti-ell-g. Anyways I just wanted to say why I joined and why I started watching My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and why I joined the forum. A couple of weeks ago I was watching this YouTube reactor. I decided to watch one of his MLP FiM reactions. Then I watched Ballad of The Brony documentary. It was one of the recommended videos. Anyways afterwards I became interested in the show. I watched the first two episodes and really liked them. So I watched the entire first season. So far I really like the show. Also unlike other male bronies I probably would have given the show a try anyways even if it was more girly than it is. One thing I have realized about myself recently is that I am both a geek and enjoy stupid cute girly animated stuff. Just as an example I really enjoyed the Tinker Bell CGI animated movies that Disney made. There really girly. Anyways I joined the forum because that's what everyone else did so I do gi red I may as well. Anyways hope to have fun and make friends. EDIT: My profile picture is of my two favorite charcters
