I remember I became a brony somewhere around 2015. Before being a brony I had a whole different view about the show just for the reason I never watched it. One day I was sick and couldn't go to school, so I was looking what to watch on the TV, and as there wasn't "anything better" to watch, I decided to watch one of the MLP episodes. After I watched one episode, I watched another, and another, and so on, my whole view on the show changed as I started to like it, and soon afterwards I became a brony.
