Were you a hater/Anti-Brony?

3 of 4 posts describe the way I was until June 1st, 2011.

Once upon a time I was pretty judgmental, and that included giving bronies a hard time. I stopped being like that before I started watching the show.

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578]

I don't think I was ever a "hater" per SE. I didn't know what a brony even was until I started watching it and really getting into it. I would say I was more "close minded" to it, when I first heard about it.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

not so much a hater but I didn't really care I would see a pony and be like oh hey look a pony as for Bronies I hadn't known of their existence for awhile then much later I actually thought Bronies were Cloppers so you could imagine how embarrassing that was when I was told that Bronies are the ones who like ponies and Cloppers like it on another level especially because I was part of the fandom at the time I faced hoof so hard I still remember my old Bio on Xbox Live saying We are Ponygames we are against Haters, Bronies, and Quick Scopers I still feel stupid for writing that

 

I'm putting this here just so I don't get negative replies I don't hate cloppers anymore I only hate the fan art made by cloppers

Ok, ok, I will admit it. I did use to hate bronies and I only started to get into the fandom when my sister kept spamming messages of links to MLP episodes and brony forums. THAT is how Equestria was made.

I was sort of a brony before FiM was even aired. I was a fan of the first generation. I never hated anyone for liking a show, anyways. I did hate bronies because I thought they were all jerks, though. 

[Invincible 2,091]

I kind of hated on bronies when i first become aware of what they are exactly (or rather heard of how they were described by brony haters) because the stuff they tell about us is nasty. I Didn't make it some sort of a witch-hunt and actively attacked bronies online or otherwise, but it's amazing what a bad reputation we have already managed to establish in the brief time we existed as a fandom.

[yeet 2,027]

To be honest, I used to think brony was a word I made up randomly until last year. I wasn't really a hater. But them i didn't even really know about the fandom either. But meh, I know now.

[deadprofile 1,122]

I was never anti-brony (it wasn't an official thing when I was starting to notice it). I was more like, "WTF?" towards fans at first, because I loathed the show (thinking of G3 and G1-1.5)....I thought it was stupid personally, so that's why I looked into it. I am naturally curious, so why in the world did a bunch of guys suddenly get into a girl's show and plaster it EVERYWHERE on the internet....

Back in the day around 2011, my cousin told me a story about some boy in his class that wrote My Little Pony fan fiction, we laughed and it was also about the time I heard the brony label. Never thought about it since, not until my conversion in the spring of 2012.

[Thunderstreak 136]

I didn't hate them, but I thought it was one of the strangest things to pop up. I wanted nothing to do with it. 

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Nope, I wasn't too sure what a brony was until I joined the fandom (soon after I learned about them I became one because I was curious as to wtf was going on and why so many people liked it, I mean if so many people like it, it has too be good, no?) and I'm actually surprised I wasn't a hater tbh, considering my personality. 

[Jeric 46,852]

Not a hater at all. I admit that I didn't quite understand what the fervor was about until my second attempt to watch the show this year, but I always had an appreciation for the passion and creativity of Bronies.

[Andaasonsan 3,205]

I just thought it was some dumb hipster crap that I didn't "get".

[I love Jelly Otter 477]

I was a jealous hater until I became a devoted lover of the Bornydom.

[Obsidian Sky 14,004]

Never hated it, not in the least. i had problems understanding it at first, but that made me curious, not hateful. Thought of it as some kind of safe heaven of love and tolerance once.

 

Funnily enough, the longer i am in the fandom, the more i dislike it, not the other way around.

[AkiraLeeJounouchi 857]

I would say i was not a hater per say. I just didn't get it until I realised I gre up on The Power Puff Girls and still like and watched it and I realised this was no differnt. So much things went into my desistion to try MLP. And I glad that I did, cuz even though I don't have friends like that in real life, it's great having them animated. XD

[Zhortac 1,474]

Right here.

 

A couple years ago, I thought bronies were stupid, little girls, who were closet homos.

 

And now...here I am lol.

[Buck Testa 5,505]

I rooted for bronies cause I loved their content and the fact that their brilliant creativity had the haters frothing at the mouth. It wasnt enough to join at the time but I love me the underdog.

[Cyan Blue 946]

Me.

 

 

Probably because I was really young (and I still am). I thought it was really weird and it annoyed me that people talked about it so much.

[Zekromic 1,054]

I never hated bronies, but I admit that I was skeptical in watching the show. In fact, I didn't even know how big the fandom actually was until I joined almost two years ago

[TheJLeeTeam 914]

I never was. Throughout my childhood I thought it would be neat if guys liked girls stuff. I also had a guilty pleasure for Disney princess movies. When I first heard of bronies, I wasn't really surprised at all because I thought gender equality was becoming more mainstream so I figured something like that would happen eventually.

 

Before I watched MLP:FiM I was sort of a partial brony. I have an obsession with the Pokémon Keldeo which is technically a pony. And even before I watched MLP I thought of some connections between Keldeo and the ponies in MLP. 

[remove p l e a s e ? 800]

Well, here I am.

The reasons why I was a brony hater is because I found out when I was 12. (Reminder, I am 14.) Thus, everyone hated 12 year olds on the internet.

So here I am, with my MLP drawings all over my wall and being a proud owner of a MLP shirt. Also, I beg for a pony plushie because life is not smooth now.

[Everleaf 541]

No however I at first glace found it fairly strange....

 

though I slightly expected something like this to happen...

[Sceethe 704]

when i started watching the show, i didnt even know of the hilariously big fanbase around it.

i thought it´s just a good cartoon that more open-minded people like.

 

 

 

 

i´ve never been so wrong in my life.
