What did you think of Bronies before you started watching the show?

[Lightwing 12,973]

Personally?I didn't knew what a brony was until a few days before becaming one

But i heard about them before,but i didn't knew what Brony was

[FNGRpony 658]

worst thing sense treckies lol.

worse.

and now look at me.  look what you've done to me.

 

i use to be made of 100 percent boiling hatred.

 

now i'm only around 70-80 percent tops on a bad day.  Boooo.

[King Sejong 859]

   I had no opinion, for I didn't even know who bronies were in the first place, it was only after watch some reviews on YouTube, and a article about military fans of My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic, did I become aware of the fandom, gradually over time I became intrinsically drawn to the herd, and the rest is history.

[yeet 2,027]

I didn't know what a brony was until about a month before I became one.

Th i didn't even know what mlp was about other than there's a rainbow pony and a purple dragon thingy, oh and there was a crossed eyed pony that looked bodacious.

Well, keep in mind that I was close friends with a guy, and this guy one day started using pony avatars.

 

At first, I dismissed this as a sense of irony, since he was the kind of jokester who would do that. But he showed further respect for the show, and I began to notice around the internet that MLP seemed to be rather prevalent.

 

I didn't care too much about the show at the time, but I knew that I LOVED the YTPMVs and fanworks that came out of it. Turnabout Storm was the icing on the cake. Once I got into that, there was no escape for me. And when I learned I could watch all of it on YouTube, I was in and didn't want out.

I honestly didn't even know what bronies were before I watched the show, I mean I heard of them online a bit but never really thought much of it....

[Empty Room 512]

Back in my days of being a typical closed-minded 13 year old, I initially thought bronies were gay because they watched a show intended for little girls. That all changed once I watched a few clips.

[Zekromic 1,054]

I didn't know the brony culture was that big at the time, but I saw some rage comics and post in 9gag about dudes liking MLP. I was just indifferent about males liking MLP

[hawkflame 3,310]

I thought it was all cool. When I heard that MLP had a large adult following, I figured it was in the same way that Spongebob or Powerpuff girls had an adult following- they were written in a way so that both kids and adults would enjoy them. Turns out I was right.

Eh. It was whatever.

 

Something I wanted to look into, though, to see what the big deal was about.

[LordDiscord 289]

To be honest I was completely clueless as to what the hell a ''Brony'' was. I had stumbled across alot of mlp themed artwork and comics and became fairly confused about what I was looking at or what show the ponies had come from. Hell for a time, I thought they were a creation of someone off Deviant Art that had became popular. My curiosity is what eventually lead me to becoming a brony. So all in all I really never had any problem with it because I did not know anything about it.

this....before i was a brony i wasnt as tolerant as i am now, so i made fun of them

[epzik8 92]

When I first heard of bronies, it was on Friendship is Magic's Wikipedia article and I just could not believe it. I didn't know how it was possible for males to enjoy a female-targeted show. I also didn't realize it was a pretty big thing on the Internet and I thought it was just a small community of guys who wanted to "be different". My opinion of bronies started to change when I found out one of my two brothers was one. Along with that, I started increasingly coming across fanon stuff made by bronies and realized that it was a really big thing. And that's what made me change my opinion of bronies from "ridiculous" to "awesome" and made me decide to become one myself.

Don't worry, all is forgiven now.

[Teller 360]

I thought they were a bunch of weirdos.

 

And to this day, I'll keep to the promise I made to myself to never become an introverted neckbeard and fit into the brony stereotype.

[AnonBrony 1,468]

Well back in 2011 when I first joined the fandom wasn't as super vocal yet, just mainly on 4Chan and other websites, so I had no clue about them yet before I watched the show. At the time all I heard of was that there was this my little pony show and people were saying it was really good. After watching it was when I found out about the fandom. So I guess you can say I had no opinion on them. 

[zev_zev The outcast 415]

Honestly I didn't think anything bad about bronies, because a lot of Russian blogers whom I respect very much are bronies. Besided, I'm very tolerant.

[Maerchen 38]

I didn't even know that there are "Bronies". xD

But I thought something like "Who would like a show like THAT?" when I saw the first 5 Minutes of 'Stare Master' in german. Was a little bit bad to get in like that, because my first impression was the GERMAN version and the talk about cutie marks. Yea.

A year later a friend showed me the english version. I knew through her, that there are many adults who like the show, but ony after I started to watch it for myself, I got to know the fanbase. So.. I couldn't think bad about the bronies.. but I thought a bit bad about the show. /D

 

Well, I'm glad that that totally changed now~ <3 *hugs everyone*

Before I watched the show, I thought that bronies were just fucking weirdos. I now deeply regret having that opinion because bronies turned to be one of the most awesome groups of people I've ever met.

[Sky Cutter 294]

I spent a lot of time on the internet, and i had no idea what a brony was... like I didn't even know "My Little Pony" existed until i stumbled upon an episode

[Linux Distro 109]

My thoughts were kind of like, "Seriously? Is this a joke?" and "Is the show really that good?" and "They seem normal..."

[Blue Parasprite 197]

Hated them. With a bitter passion, I might add. I thought they were all obnoxious and childish, amond a few other explitives I wish not to use.

 

And then I found out I had brony friends.

 

After I realised that, I figured that I should at least try to whatch it. Long story short, I'm a brony to the core now.

[Sully 22]

Before I became a brony I did not know anything about bronies themselves or the show, I had not interest in doing any brony research because I couldn't be certain about any of the information out there. All I know is I am no hater and I know what the show has done for me

[#1FluttershyFan 206]

I didn't even know bronies existed before I got into the show. But I'm glad they do!

[Dragmod 7]

Same as Fluttershyfan, I didn't even know that fandom existed, let alone the show. It wasn't until a flame war on a halo forum that I found out about this. I'm just glad I had done research before throwing random comments into the fire, cause I would have never started watching the show otherwise.
