RD_is_best_pony123 10 January 30, 2012 Share January 30, 2012 No "final straw", I just got really curious and decided to give the show a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezynell 2,037 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 I was trolled by a friend...but I guess it backfired cause I actually started liking the show : Was the friend that trolled you a brony too? GAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullbuster 1,906 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 It was probably 2 weeks after a friend of mine said he was a brony, and I checked out the first episode to see what this was all about, 3 months later I became a brony my self My Let's Play channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy14-AEEHdfj5QQAlYtB1_A Need a guest Rapper on a song? talk to me!: http://mlpforums.com/topic/103097-guest-rapper-for-you/ NEW SONG: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureity 3,055 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 Was the friend that trolled you a brony too? Sadly, no. He was just a troll, and decided to have fun spamming links of ponies. :S A lil' Catherine <(^.^)> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrooveBroove 680 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 At first I was semi-anti brony. Never went against them but always thought to myself Why? But like I posted in my Hello Thread, after watching CR's retrospective on MLP and the brony culture. it gave me the steps needed to start watching the show. I watched the first 2 eps and thought it wasn't to bad. But one day i had my phone and nothing else during a very long shift of work, so I started to watch all the episodes on these long shifts. I then got addicted and not to mention they just always cheered me up even if I had a crummy day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83awsm 234 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 All the pony threads popping up on imagboards… I always skipped over them until 1 day I decided to check one out, realized that people were obsessed with the show, and thought they were all weird. Didn’t think much of it until I found out they were in my own age demographic... which, out of curiosity, lead to me watch the season 1 pilot Awesomeness = at least 20% Cooler.

Arylett Charnoa 4,919 January 31, 2012 Share January 31, 2012 The final straw was when I realized that I had started faving pony art on DeviantArt after watching some of the show and pretending I didn't like it. At that point, I had to proclaim that yes, the ponies were cool. Aether Velvet is the name of the OC in my avatar. Drawn by me. Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Cassie 3,057 February 1, 2012 Share February 1, 2012 What was the Final straw? What was the final reason, you clicked on that youtube video? or let your friend click the play button? or what did that orum post say that made ou seek it out? 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. Watching this review: http://blip.tv/sf-debris-opinionated-reviews/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-review-5658418 SFDebris informed me through this review of a number of things I wasn't previously aware of, such as Lauren Faust's involvement, and finally forced me to look at the show in a positive light. I originally thought it was just a meme, and then I refused to look at it on principle due to other people pushing me to do so. I watched this review because I regularly watch SFDebris' reviews of Star Trek works, and because I did already have a faint interest in it. Used to be known on here as Kyronea.

Guest February 1, 2012 Share February 1, 2012 Like many others have said, it was my immense curiosity that became the final straw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Accord 6,660 March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 For me it was genuine interest. I looked up the show on TVtropes.org, it sounded good so I checked it out.

Nathan Fink 22 March 23, 2012 Share March 23, 2012 The temptation to find out exactly what was all the hubbub was about. I saw to many funny pony pics and had to find out where they were all coming from and what was coming next. I am SO glad i did Im reading a book Pony, im reading a book!

AppleButt 8,675 September 8, 2021 Share September 8, 2021 For me the first straw was also the final straw. Was on tumblr one day, my girlfriend reblogged the Winter Wrap Up Song, I watched it and was immediately hooked to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyNotGrogar 11 September 8, 2021 Share September 8, 2021 My little sister was watching The Return Of Harmony and Discord's caotic nature seemed cool to see in a kid's show about little talking ponies so I started watching the show regularly with her for a year or two. Then I resumed watching the series in 2020 due to boredom. I'm glad I did, I ended up liking it even more than what I did back in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackleberry 1,921 September 8, 2021 Share September 8, 2021 I saw some cool military themed MLP wallpapers on DA and was overcome with a sudden strange mood that made me want to check out the show itself. Was disappointed to find the show had nothing to do with ponies engaging in modern warfare, but it was still pretty okay I guess. ~ ♫ 3rd Eye | To suffer hate in search of love, or lose them both forever? 🎔 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacodidra 61,161 August 10, 2022 Share August 10, 2022 Months of curiosity and reading about the fandom and the show. I felt I had to give it a chance, soon there was no way back. 1 Signature by @Sparklefan1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
