Alleviate 342 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 Hi there...First hostpost for a while. Anyway, onto business. Over the course of the last year, I've converyed two haters into people that tolerate and don't mind us. Through literally hundreds of non-stop refrencing sessions with the only other bro I know in Thornbury, we managed to finally break through their views of the Bro.s so they now don't mind it. They actually quite like it when we refrence and mess-up the show. My question is: What next? Do we show them show stuff yet? Is there something better to do first? Oh, on an unrelated note, I found out that quite a few people know I'm a bro even though I'm kinda secretive about it. A dude just came up and listed us off when we were talking about acceptable things to say...I was listed as Furry/Brony mash-up. Anyway, thanks for any ideas. -Joe- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Blossom 864 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 Well if they show any interest in MLP:FiM then I guess you could show them an episode, but don't go overboard on it and they might be annoyed by it. Though you could show them some references. 1 Avatar made by Krystal and signature made by ~Chaotic Discord~.My OCs: Cherry Blossom, Octavinyl, and Apple Mint."It's not about how smart you are, but how thick your heart is." - Cherry Blossom.

Though you could show them some references. Well, we do have a lot of ref.s and they get a surprising number of them so...I think it may be time for me to pull out the 'Lesson Zero manly clip-bank' - a couple of badass parts from it including MortalKombatShy and lots of PsychoTwi mental stuff... Wish me luck when I do. Also, recommend any good eps.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Blossom 864 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 I think you could show them the 'It's About Time' episode where Twilight just goes Metal Gear, that episode had a lot of references from that game. You could also show them 'Over a Barrel' it was pretty good as well.

Definitly It's about time, that was a brilliant load of Escape from and MGS ref.Over a barrel was a weird episode for me...I'm.not sure why, just was...I might try Party of one and both of the epic Twi episodes on a Skype-drop then. Should I show 'em the spoofs and Uberdark things? ..Cupcakes kinda got me into MLP somehow... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duidamasterXD 9,627 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 If they show interest then that's awesome. Just don't be pushy. Just because the show can be enjoyed by everyone doesn't by any means mean that it will be. I think the fact that you've diffused hatred of the show is really cool, but over enthusiasm and shoving the show in people's faces is part of why it is hated in the first place. Good luck with your efforts! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegisReflector 886 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 Yeah, don't go overboard with a MLP marathon or anything spectacular like that. Otherwise, they could get pony intoxication and might throw up on the carpet. But nah, just show them an episode, and then afterwards, maybe get their opinions on it.

Bronium 512 October 12, 2012 Share October 12, 2012 I wouldn't show them the show. What's needed to be done is done. You've made them neutral, and they won't harass you. Now it's up to them to watch the show if they want to. 1 This one is a tad less creepy. Wouldn't you agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batbrony 16,054 October 12, 2012 Share October 12, 2012 (edited) Yeah, got to agree with Bronium on this one; if they really want to see the show, I'm sure they'll either watch an episode themselves, or come to you and tell you. After all, keep this in mind; I have never heard of a person becoming a brony because their friends constantly berated them to watch the show. Rather, all of the brony-conversion stories that I've heard match my own; somepony inadvertently finds out about MLP, either through YouTube clips/parodies/PMVs, forums, blogs, Facebook, meme images, or yes, even because other friends are bronies, and then subsequently makes the choice to begin watching the show. Like I said, friends who are bronies may play a part in informing them about, and even recommending, the show, but the individual always makes the choice because they want to, not because friends have constantly told them that they should watch it. Well, that's my 2-bits. For those of you who this post was TL;DR for: Don't go overboard in recommending the show, and let them start watching it on their own if they want to; only recommend an episode if they come to you about an episode you'd recommend.
