Hi there

[Mister G 101]

This is how I became a brony:

Last March 2011, I first saw this show on KnowYourMeme.com. I immediately thought, "How the heck would a show for little girls become famous with grown men?" I didn't know it back then, but I became interested on it.

Early 2012, my interest for this show reached its peak when I saw Turnabout Storm by NeoArtimus. Last June, I was hospitalized. On that hospital, this fandom became a recurring thought in my head.

I even memorized the names of the Mane 6.

Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity.

And then I saw this fandom in a new light.

Never I saw an animated show which has a fandom THIS BIG. Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, The Last Airbender, Regular Show, The Legend of Korra, I could list more animated shows, has nothing on this.\

Never I saw a show in which even the BACKGROUND CHARACTERS are as famous as the MAIN CHARACTERS.

Never I saw a show that has:

Bloggers such as Sethisto.

Musicians such as TheLivingTombstone.

Artists such as John Joseco.

Never I saw a show that the people who are involved with the making of this show actually interact with the fans. Heck, Bronies are official as of Equestria Girls(the song).

Never I saw a show in which some famous people are actually bronies. Tara Strong, Andrew W.K., Gabe Newell, Notch, John Cena, Seth Green,

AND NEVER I saw a show that survived attacks on this fandom such as 

4Chan, Howard Stern, Jerry Springer, Tosh.0,FOX News.

So,

I decided to join the herd.

Never I thought that this show is well-written, the songs are catchy and the jokes are witty.

Never I thought that this show would be good, even better than the ugly old generations (especially 3.5)

I say that joining fandom was a great decision.

I hope that this fandom would stay as long as Star Wars, Doctor Who, and Star Trek.

Hello everyone.

Welcome!

I am happy to know you among us, but you only mentioned logical, rational reasons to join the herd. Of course, this fandom is varied, persistent, creative, strong and there are some famous bronies, but I would like to hear why the show really caught you.

This show drew me in like a black hole. Even if I knew that people would call me gay, I still joined in. No matter how I resisted, I was still attracted to it.

Sometimes, I feel bad for not joining this fandom any sooner since it got famous on 2011.

Probably the reason why this show really caught me is of the stories true to life. Relatable, slice-of-life, and good ad probably everything.

Even if there is no perfect show, I can say that this is an almost-perfect show.
