well here is my story:
i was on youtube watching some videos but in every single video there was this vid on the recommended section called SHED.MOV i ignored the video like for a month but then i watched it and found it pretty hilarious i started watching APPLE.MOV, DRESS.MOV, ask jappleack and ask princess molestia. then in those 3 vids there was this ''cupcakes'' vid the thumbnail showe a pink pony with blood in her face. i google cupcakes and found about the fanfic there i discover equestria daily so then i read the fanfic, some alternate endings, rocket to insanity, rainbow factory, and then watched the video. also I found out the music vid for rainbow factory xd so yep i watched cupcakes original then cupcakes HD (my favorite by the way andrew W.K wins all over! xd) and then the want you gone parody. then started watching the series and i fell on love with it.

Before I became a serious brony, I was a vehement /x/ user. Thus, I was absolutely obsessed with creepypasta. I was practically living and breathing it. Then, one day, I was browsing Knowyourmeme, and I found the entry for Cupcakes. Now, it was my initial belief that apparently Cupcakes was the scariest creepypasta in existence and could make grown men pass out. So, naturally, I was attracted to it. Long story short: I found the fic, read it (ignoring the fact that they were ponies), and became incredibly ill afterwards. However, after a week of recovering from my slight daze, I realized that the characters were done extremely well. It was just biting at the back of my mind.
So, I looked up the show, watched the first episode, and was hooked. I've been exploring the fanbase and writing my own fanfiction ever since.

I became a brony when around November I was watching some 'Felix's Mind" by Corcky 64, when i saw one of his vids had ponies in it, I noticed he was a grown man and shouldn't be watching a girls show, so I went to check out what all the fuss was about, after the firs t5 episodes i was HOOKED. And then i discovered that men that watch MLP are called Bronies, about a month later I joined brohoof. Yay.
lol everyone gets hooked after the 5 episodes! i was lucky enough that in mexico the first and second episode where tansmitting again

I never really liked ponies back then, I thought it was a notorious internet fad, girly and not-manly at all.
I thought the so-called "Bronies" are trolls who mess up the flow of the Internetz.
But then, alot of my subscribed channels on YouTube started liking pony videos, I shrugged, thinking they
were out of their minds.
It all began during a sleepless night, I was wide awake, bored, I decided to watch the first episode of
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. "I'm going to laugh at how bad it is!" I laughed.
But I was instantly hooked, I watched some fanmade videos, read a fanfic (I recall it being Dr. Whooves),
looked up a Minecraft Brony server, and the rest is history.
Now I love and tolerate (most of the time).

I was laying on the Couch cuddle up with my Daughter, then i thought: I still have My Little Pony - The movie here...but no recorder to play. im sure she will love it!
So i stand up lay her on her Playblanket and searched in youtube My Little Pony. So what i found was the Part where Pinkie went insane....next was cupcakes...and i though...wtf...then i decided to watch Friendship is Magic. Load a Couple Episodes grope my Daugther sat her in my Laps and we watched together. I laughted so hard allways and Jana liked the show too. Even the show is in english but well i wanted to learn her 2 languages when she can learn to speak so she has it easy at school after. And so we sat everyevening at the computer and watched the show. Then i layed her back to bed.
But now we cant watch it anymore together...we wont anymore in the future.
Thats my Story...
Edit: she was 5months when we watched it.

One day at school we were randomly talking about dying hair and I asked my gf what she would do If I dyed my hair rainbow. She replied saying "I'd call you Rainbow Dash." After realizing that she was a brony I got more interested in MLP and started watching episodes. I eventually managed to convert Cyborganic_Pies to the way of the brony. The rest is history.

Okay, the full story is:
I had had an aweful day, so I went to my friends because I was stressed as hell. I didnt realise though till I turned up they where all smoking weed [Dont do drugs] I didnt actually smoke any but I ended second hand high off just the smoke. When I went home I was on facebook and saw a video someone had done with clips from Over The Barrel. I ended up watching it over and over and in the morning was like 'Might as well have a proper look now'. And yeah... Now I collect ponies, I have over 60 from g1 -g4 from the US and UK and I have made currently 2 customs. 2 more in the works. My mum also buys me the magazine. :I

Back in about February of 2011, the pony craze was starting to kick off. I've seen a few pony pics before then, but now I saw it almost everywhere. My favourite forum had a pony thread and everything.
So...I predicted correctly it was a new meme. I looked it up on knowyourmeme and sure enough, it was in the top spot. I decide to check up on the relevent information there, but am not convinced to watch the show and dismiss it as a short lived meme.
As we ALL know, this was not the case. Shortly after the so called pony drought ended, a friend of mine succumbed to the horde. I decide to humour him and check on knowyourmeme again and maybe watch an episode.
And I was shocked. There were many, MANY submemes created since I last checked on it. I research a few then finally decide to watch the first episode. I got in to 8 minutes before I decided to stop. It was at this point I started
to HATE bronies.
But since I am here, we know the horde finally got me. The day was January 31st. Every friend I knew succumbed to this virus. So...I give it one more try. I pick a random episode, which so happened to be Bird in the Hoof.
And that was the end of that. Some people think that episode was a weak one, but it made me like RD and made me stomach the pilot so I could get the whole thing.

I decided to watch some of this bizarrely-popular cartoon and, much to my surprise, became really hooked after watching the pilot double-episode. Ever since then I've become more and more bronified, discovered this awesome MLP-themed server (having been a fan of Minecraft for a while) and here I am!
My mind is now full to the brim with MLP activity.

Cleaning through bookmarks. Wow i have a lot. Oh god. Ooooh god. But i have plenty of time. Oh what is this? Mlp-fim? Well i have so much time, i don't see why shouldn't i see it.
After 22 minutes
That was nice, I want to watch the other episode too
After 22 minutes... again
Oh, not bad. But I cannot get an opinion of something after the first 2 episodes. I promised to myself that i'll watch the first 4 episodes and if i liked it i'll keep watching, if not i won't. But i had no more time that day
After a day
Oh this is so nice i like it.
After another day
Ooh i suddenly want to ponify my life
After another-other day
I. Love. This.

I then wanted to watch more for some reason and watched the rest then I wanted to know what happens after.
Word gets out I watched it and they all laughed and I decided to watch it more (don't care what they say)
MLP began to cheer me up from school and I found myself watching a lot of it.
I then realised that I became a brony (word got out of that too)

Posted 24 May 2012 - 12:23 AM
And I was like, "NUUUUUUUUUUUU."
But she changed it anyways and the episode "A Dog and a Pony Show" came on at the part when they were checking out the holes.
And I was like what the heck this isn't my little pony? MLP is for little BABIES (I was thinking of the other generations of MLP)!
But I LIKED this new version of MLP. And I started watching it a bit...
And like a year later after I had forgotten ALL ABOUT THE SHOW, It came on and I was like I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
So now I have it to automatically record the episodes on both of mah T.V.'s And I look up pony and I wear pony and I draw pony and I write pony and PONYPONYPONYPONY POOOONNYYYYYY!!!
And THAT'S how EQUESTRIA was MADE!!!!
...wait

I set out to run an experiment if you will, an examination into the show, it's fan base and the growing debate surrounding it..
I started with first going to some of the fans and anti-fans, asking them their opinions, views and reasons for liking or disliking the show.. that got me pretty much nowhere.
So, I decided to see for myself what all the fuss was about.
I sat down at my pc with a couple biscuits and cans of coke, loaded up youtube, searched for MLP and clicked the first three episodes that came up. That way, I would not be swayed by story arc or multiple other factors and would instead be judging the show purely on what each episode gave me, regardless of possition in the series. Those episodes if I remember right were Sonic Rainboom, Party of One, Winter Wrap Up.
Well.. I watched all three as I set out to do, looking through each objectively and without bias, judging the animation style and look, voice acting, characters.. the things you do when reviewing something.
I failed to find what was so spectacularly bad about it, truth be told I actually found the humor funny, the characters likeable and by god were the songs catchy... hell for the rest of the night while writing up the report on the experiment? I was humming Winter WrapUp!
Experiment ended there. I did what I set out to do, wrote my report and posted it. Job done. right?
Yhea... following day I finished seasons one AND two >.>.. discovered Fluttershy is indeed the best pony and had Discord as my phone background.
I'd Been Bronied.

it started when i was scanning youtube for some good dubsteps and electronic music when i stumbled upon something called epic wub time.
i watched it and i lolled, i found the music absolutely awesome so i further investigated the songs on it and then bronyism formed from there.
and 2 days later i had watched every single episode to date and started making my own bronysteps.

I watched and practically died of laughter but I didn't search for anything else and forgot about it. A few months later in an all day rehearsal for our school's speech night one of my friends tells me about the show because his friend was showing him the show at the time. He was enjoying it and so he brings me over and I catch a glimpse it. I never really got to here anything in the show that day but it struck me how much they were enjoying it. So in the holidays when inevitably became bored I decided I may as well check what the fuss was about and ever since then my days have been getting brighter.

jump fwd a couple of months
i am looking for some mods for skyrim on the steam workshop and i see a couple of pony themed mods
i click (and seal my fate)
on most of these mods the bronies are hard beset by trolls, but for every one troll there were three bronies
i thought, hrm these guys are holding their own against the trolls, i guess i can try this show out.
I hop onto youtube and see the show
i am hooked after three episodes
thats right my bronism was forged in the fires of internet war.

I watched the first episode and wasn't a very big fan. I knew very little about it and tried my best to act the part of brony, but I didn't do a very good job. It was after about two months after I watched the first episode that I actually started watching other episodes.
I didn't watch them in order- My friend would just give me a link to the episode and I'd watch it.
Soon enough I was a brony.
