I need your help fellow bronies

[That Pony Guy 9]

Hello everypony. About three months ago I heard about these strange people called bronies. They were grown men who watched My Little Pony. I was so curious about this that I decided to give the show a watch. After finishing the first episode I decided to watch the next one, then the next one. I soon realized that I loved the show. It had great characters, great stories, and great animation, something I never expected from a show for "little girls." Not only was the show great, it changed me. After watching it I treated people with more kindness, I respected people more, I was happier, I was just an overall better person. It's these reasons why I want to spread My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic to as many people as possible by using the internet. So I'm asking you to either join me by spreading the show using forums, chatrooms, ect. or give me ideas on how to spread ponies and how I can help the fandom. I appreciate any advice that you have and I thank you for taking your time to read this. Edited August 30, 2012 by That Pony Guy

I'm personally rather uncomfortable with the "spreading" of MLP. If people don't want to see MLP, they shouldn't have to. However, if you plan on putting it on the proper boards/threads/places on external, general forums or websites, I don't see what's wrong with that.

I'm in agreement with this. Having some of the better episodes and clips on hand to show friends who might be interested is worthwhile, though.

That's a good attitude towards it. If you have friends or internet buddies who might be interested, I would send them a private message or email about the show and its finer points.

I wouldn't go around talking about it all the time, because people can get annoyed really easily... I would just have a few episodes ready to show friends that want to see it. I never talk about it unless someone brings it up.

What about random people on forums and chatrooms and things like that. How can I introduce those people to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?

If they seem interested in the show, you could perhaps give a brief plot synopsis and what you personally think are the merits of the show. Then, you could perhaps link them to a clip / episode, but this should be preferably done over a PM / email, as to not clog up or derail a thread / message room.

From my understanding, best practice for spreading MLP is to sing loud for all to hear. Lol jk. I would suggest going to forums and going to different threads and talking about Ponies even if its off topic. Then you might want to follow up with comments on youtube as well as reddit. You can also reblog and retweat anything and everything pony that you find.

 

As for real life I would suggest asking someone and then proceed to give them some information about the show. Then you let that information sit with them for a day or two and when they think they are alone... BAM, you hit them with more MLP stuff. It also helps if you have a friend that could flank them and with different pony pictures. Don't worry if they call the police, they are just playing hard to get. No means yes, remember that.

Im to hipster with my Television shows. I dont even let my little sister watch the show. It only for me and the few other internet people who have the intelectual capacity to enjoy it! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH

[AnonBrony 1,468]

I would be careful if i were you. Seeing Pony realted content in places they don't want is a major cause of why haters hate us. I would recomend not to just keep spaming in random places. U can show friends and stuff, but plz don't go on random forums and boards and keep talking about to the point someones gonna hate you. And people can get EASILY ticked off. I would just show it to friends and friends online. People u know. But if u must spread it, do it with caution. I don't want to see anything bad coming out of this.

A few fellow bronies and I managed to turn 1/3 of our school's grade into bronies. What we did is we showed them what we thought were the best episodes, and if they liked it, they would watch MLP:FiM from the beginning. From this, I think that the best way to spread bronyism is to show them the best episodes, in our opinion.

See if any of these help. I find these very entertaining to watch because they also teach me stuff about the show that I didn't even know or realize. They are also helpful for those who don't understand the popularity of the show. (WARNING: for the first video, grab a soda and some popcorn or nachos. It's a little over an hour long, but I'd rate it 5 stars if YouTube allowed for more than just a simple like. It is very thought out and informative.)

I'm a Princess and I support this strategy. Any proper plot analysis begins with an eye to maturity and development. First thing to check: Is her flank blank? If so, consider the plot "under-developed" and move along to analyze a more fully developed plot.

I dunno, I mostly keep MLP to myself and the web, but I'm not afraid to share sometimes.

Man, I already like the show, but I just liked it all over again. That was one inspirational video, and whoever made it, I say "Job well done."

What do you think are the best episodes of My Little Pony to show to non-bronies that would get them to watch the show and become a brony?

If they're Trekkies, I would suggest the Discord two-parter episode. That might intrigue them enough to watch the rest of the show.

[Opalicious 799]

I would show them Find A Pet, the Flim Flam episode, A Canterlot Wedding, Cutie Mark Chronicles...Let's see, what else. It's About Time and Lesson Zero would be good to.

I'd say show them the first two episodes so they are introduced to the world of Equestria. Or do what my friend, which was show them one of the episodes that have a song. I don't know how well the second one will work, but it sure as hell worked on me. Winter Wrap Up was stuck in my head for weeks and lead me down the path that resulted in me becoming a Brony.

 

That said, how you spread the show to others willing to give it a shot is going to vary on where you are doing it. I know I used to reference MLP once in awhile and one of my guildies got curious and checked the show out for himself. He loved it. But I am sure there are pleanty of other ways to draw some interest from those who would give it a shot.

[techno915 408]

The pilot episode and it's partner

A Canterlot wedding

Bridle Gossip

Putting your hoof down

Dragonshy

Swarm of the century

 

These are ones that I myself would show others. But you know your audience better than I do, so you choose what you think is best.

[мσℓт 40]

Nah man.

I think the people who don't know about the show can go find it and watch it themselves.

 

We don't need to tell them about it.

 

If they WANT to watch it they will.

 

We can't force them.

 

But anyway if you guys want to do that then go ahead.

 

Just know that I'm not helping.

[That Pony Guy 9]

I was wondering what forums or chatrooms on the internet should I go to that would most likely have the most open minded people?
