To be trerribly honest, i saw some Pinkie Dash shipping and was like wow! where did this come from? and thats how it started for me, just Curiocity.

Curiosity. I was never possessed of much in the way of social expectations so the franchise's stigma meant zip to me. I saw a five second clip from the "Epic AMV" on PurpleEyes abridged Code Geass series. Looked up the AMV, looked up the source material on TV Tropes, found out what "brony" meant, and a hop,skip, and a jump back to Youtube I was watching the pilot and didn't look back! B)

Well, i just heard about the craze all over the internet, and decided to see what the hubbub was all about. Needless to say what happened. ^^

 

Yup, that's my story. It seemed like a cool thing like "It's cool to watch it, because it looks like it's for little girls, but it's actually cool, and people will be like whaaaaaaat and laugh and that's cool"

And it is pretty cool to like ponies in our current society if you still act manly, believe it or not.

The final straw for me was more of an accident than anything. I had a few friends on Facebook who kept mentioning MLP, and I saw several references to it on various sites, but for the most part I just ignored it.

 

The one of the blogs I follow posted a link to a video called "My Little Serenity" (

). Since Firefly was, up until that point, my favorite TV show ever, I clicked the link, totally not expecting ponies. After watching the video, I figured that MLP did look a bit more interesting than I originally thought, so I gave the series a shot.

 

Two episodes later and I was hooked.

I lik watching YouTube Poops, so when I saw

. After watching that, I saw a whole bunch of pony videos in the Related videos. At first, I thought it was just some thing people were doing, but it started spreading to more videos. Then I looked on Google for Derpy, and started learning more about the show. I had NO CLUE before looking at Google that this had anything to do with MLP, but once I found out, I thought it looked different than the commercials from way back when, so I took a peek on YouTube for some episodes, and yeah.

 

Its ironic that Twilight Sparkle is my favorite pony, yet Derpy is the one that got me into FiM. Thanks Derpster!

It was a mix of curiosity and by accident. I used to be against bronies and everything they stood for. One day I accidentally clicked on a video, and instead of closing the tab, I kept it open and watched. I'm really glad that I did too. From then on curiosity got the best of me and here I am today.

For me it was a cross between curiosity and 'oh my god what is this glorious rainbow clad creature and why can't I stop staring at it?'


I can't make signatures.

Sooo... yeah

With me, I had randomly ended up at some pony clips on youtube, and after watching about an hour and half worth of those clips, I ended up on the one from Dragonshy where the dragon was complaining to Fluttershy about Dashie kicking him, and when she didn't even try to hide it, I knew that I was a brony.
