How I came here.

[StabbedByANarwhal 75]

Before I came to know MLP in the first place, I actually was a part of another community of the game Minecraft. I was apart of the MC community on this app called Seeds Pro. It was enjoyable to see my work being liked and rated, but something was wrong about the community. Let me refraise that. LOTS of things were wrong with the community. First of all, I was 15 and all the moderators were younger than me and had temper issues. Second, almost everyone was like 11. I could only think of 2 people that were older than me. Third, people kept on whining saying that they were gonna leave the app because Mr. So and So said something mildly offensive to them. Fourth, because in the first week I saw 7 suicide threads. Fifth, people went around spamming follow4follow. Sixth, because people kept spamming other user's threads and posts 1 star (there was 1-5 star rating system). Seventh, they had a worse cussing and swearing on the app. Swearing was prohibited. People swore more on that app then on this website. What's ironic is that this website doesn't prohibit cussing and this community does it less than the MC community. Eighth, everyone was just downright immature. Ninth, people got offended WAY too easily. Tenth, there was a sexting problem at one point in time. It got so bad it made me nearly puke. I was so mad at the community after six months of being in it. Even though I was declared a mild celebrity on the app with over 1200 followers I finally decided to break away for a month. I continued playing Minecraft. I learned how basically to do everything from modding to adding resource packs, but there was a lack of happiness I was craving. I went through a depression period for a while. Then I decided to try to watch something that would make me happy. So I was browsing online when I saw an MLP meme about love and tolerance. I actually didn't know the Brony community even existed. For the heck of it I decided to watch the first episode of My Little Pony. The idea made me blush. Me? A guy watching a little girl's cartoon. I watched the first episode. I found myself wanting to know what happened next. Episode after episode my depression went away. I went back to the Seeds Pro app to tell them about my newfound interest. I was sure my followers would understand. They didn't. They called me a faggot and a loser. I got so mad at them I decided to give up Minecraft as a whole. It was the biggest rage quit I've ever made in my life. I haven't even thought of the game since then. No one in my irl world knew I liked the show. I felt scared to tell anyone. I felt alone. Until I could that millions of people were just like me. These so called "bronies" watched the show too. I felt so happy! People in my irl world now still don't think I'm a Brony nor have I mentioned it to them, but they do notice that I'm happier. I actually have lost a ton of friends when I left MC, but MLP has given me confidence and happiness. So now I'm here!
