closetbrony666 4 January 14, 2014 Share January 14, 2014 Before I say hello, I believe I should explain how I got here. Yesterday a friend of mine and myself were searching through Netflix, trying to find something to watch. Before too long, we happened upon Bronies, a documentary I'm sure everyone is aware of at this point. In my school last year, bronies were somewhat of a running joke. Let's face it, the thought of males between the age of 18 and 30 dressing up like Pinkie Pie and doing generally ridiculous or flamboyant things was not only considered very weird, but also pretty hilarious. Not to mention the immediate assumption by most onlookers that all Bronies are homosexual. So, as you can imagine, when we stumbled upon this documentary, our little knowledge of Bronies had our interests piqued, and we began watching the documentary. Now, I am an avid cartoon fan. I love most cartoons, from the early nineties to now, with my favorites being Rocko's Modern Life, The Powerpuff Girls, CatDog, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Adventure Time, The Regular Show, and The Amazing World of Gumball. Because of this, when I saw these Bronies listing their reasons for loving the show: great animation, fantastic storytelling, lovable characters, etc., that was all I really needed to hear before I decided to quit the documentary. (I was about 10 minutes into it) The next thing I know, I'm about four episodes in, and I'm pretty quickly falling head over heels for this show. The characters are all absolutely fantastic, the art direction and animation quality is near untouched, the storytelling is above and beyond anything I've ever seen in a children's cartoon, and most of all, I find myself laughing and smiling more while watching this show, than I do watching any of the other cartoons i mentioned above. With that said, I am now on episode 18 of the first season, and i cannot wait to get even further into the show. I am an 18 year old heterosexual male, with no intention of ever dressing up as a pony, but with every intention of discovering all of the fun to be had in this show. So, hello everypony! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonSlash 26 January 14, 2014 Share January 14, 2014 Hi there, I can totally relate to you. I never understood what the fascination was, either. Like you, I watched the documentary (I made it all the way through) and decided to check out the show. By the end of the first episode I knew I was done. I was a brony. Welcome friend!

Krys9 456 January 15, 2014 Share January 15, 2014 Although the repeating numbers at the end of your username kind of scare me I'm happy to welcome you to the forum! I know it seems weird for people to like the show when you are inspecting it from an outsider's POV but once you start actually taking the time to invest yourself within the show it's quite enjoyable. I'm glad you're enjoying it as much as other people have. I'm excited for you as well because you have so much content to immerse yourself in that this fandom created. Stay Brony my friend. /) 1 Signature made by me. "You thought you were there to guide me but you were only in my way." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Sejong 859 January 15, 2014 Share January 15, 2014 This was my story too, I knew there was much hype for this show, but after I saw an article on military bronies, next I saw an episode and after season three and Equestria Girls I joined the herd. Welcome to the forums, and Welcome to the herd, feel free to PM me if you like, and see you around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judgement 445 January 15, 2014 Share January 15, 2014 Welcome. I was exactly the same before I liked the show. (Only liked it for not even two weeks at this point) MLP manages to have morals without being cheesy like many other shows I know. So anyway, welcome to the forums! You are already on episode 18?! Dang! (I'm only on episode 13, and you started YESTERDAY?) The forums distracted me too much, as it is fun talking to others that share a similar interest. See you around! 1 Tom V.S.

OG Blaze 269 January 15, 2014 Share January 15, 2014 I come from the long line of calling bronys gay Wow was I wrong, jokingly me and a friend listened to a soundtrack, and well after that I just got so interested I had to start watching the show, let me tell you being a brony is a great stress reliever and let me tell you I'm like 100 percent happier than I've ever been despite school problems I have. Just believe me when I say you've made the right choice 2 Adventurer:Blaze Party Animal:Rye Bad-ass Silent Leader:Blue Optyx Female Sharpshooter: DeadEdge Brawling Adventurer: Quarry Credit To Gone Airbourne For My Signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
