The pony thread inspired me. Who else is a /ex-brony/? Why did you do it? How did it affect your social life? When were you a brony? Do you hate yourself for it? How bad was it?

I was obsessed and made myself look like a total ass in front of everyone I knew. I lost a bunch of my friends because of my obsession. It made me become a robot. Did the fandom end? What's the current season? I started in season 2 and I got off after 5. It left me with a bestiality fetish and affects me to this day.

Why did you do it user? What was the draw?

I know these feels OP. I stopped watching when Twilight became an alicorn, whichever season that was. I used to read thousand upon thousands of pages of fan fiction every week. /mlp/ was actually a good board for a while. I do not know what goes on with the fandom now

The fandom is basically just EQD and Derpibooru at this point. Season 5 is the best and season 8 is shaping up to be more mediocre and forgettable.

Everybody is speciaI, everyone in his or her own way.

I was able to hide my power level, but still inside my mind i woudl try to relate everything with ponies. Eventually I lost all interst and couldn't watch anymore after season 4. I became a Jow Forums fag but i still fap to ponies till this day and prefer them over real women.

We're on season 8, and Pinkie Pie's sister, who was introduced to wide approval from the fandom in season 4, has an episode in this season about her boyfriend. The ride is at a point where nobody should be on, anymore, other than to appreciate the old stuff and characters if they got a waifu in it.

this was the first glimpse I had into the fandom: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ApDAJJONn9I

I got hooked. It was an addiction. I just remember the pure obsession. Hours and hours per day. Hundreds of dollars on merchandise.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? Bronies were worse than traps, worse than the worse degeneracy. Who the fuck unironically enjoys a show about ponies except for 8 year old girls?

I mean I get it was an ironic thing at first but then it became unironic, I swear the whole thing was a psyop. There's no god damn way the show was that good.

Wow Barneyfag is still around. That is dedicated autism!

>season 8
Wow I'm an oldfag. Season 3 was my favorite. I want too impressed with 5. How was the MLP movie?

That's still degenerate, faggot

Her sister from the rock farm or...? Why was the lore in this show so deep? This was the major draw for me, it was so out of the ordinary for a kids show.

It's just a moe waifu thing, like some kinds of anime. Cute girls who sound and act and look cute, give the lonely man something to fawn over. Of course the show isn't phenomenal.

Eh, it actually was really good. I'll admit it. I still think that. It didn't feel like it was for little kids.

I fucking agree with this wholeheartedly.

I still browse /mlp/ occasionally to this day. I used to writefag a bit, but I had already been on Jow Forums long enough to know you hide your power level, so nothing much came of it.

I remember I watched it because I kept seeing the pony threads on /b/ and I thought the immense amount of butthurt was hilarious because I didn't think Jow Forums people got up in arms about anything. Went into it ironically to piss off some of my rl friends but ended up feeling a happiness that I've rarely found. Ended up getting most of my friends into it, they were even chads.

I was one from about 13 to 15, stopped watching during S3, a lot of my friends actually got into it to for the same time frame so it was actually pretty good. My only regret is wearing a shirt once to a sci-fi convention but it blended in so I don't really mind and my parents getting a vague idea that we all watched a cartoon about ponies, but they didn't really care so I don't really care. All in all it wasn't too bad at all and opened me up to a larger scope of internet shit.

I don't think I'll ever get free of the porn though

I had a brony friend who used to play DOTA 2 and other Steam games with me. He was a really chill guy.
Then one day on Skype he told me that it's been a fun couple of years, but he got an internship and wasn't gonna have time for online shit anymore. That happened when I was 15 (6 years ago) and he was 21 at the time. Now I'm his age.
He's been offline since then, for six years. That's my only personal experience with bronies OP, but I would never be one myself.

Honestly I feel so bad for the voice actresses. Especially the girl in the band. She doesn't get any recognition for her band and she only gets recognized for some shit she does on the side.

a friend in highschool was a brony, he was the only dude i talked to about Jow Forums long ago. he killed himself, i think about him every time i see mlp. he was a good person

Not like it matters, especially since it's shit anyway

That's what I don't get, at least moeshit is target at no-life weebs. You have plenty of waifus to obsess over. But instead they pick fucking ponies from a western kids show.

Bullshit. It's my little pony, any redeeming qualities it has are negated by the faggoty looking ponies. God it makes me sick to even think about it

Why are you so upset bro holy fuck calm yourself. It was good. I enjoyed it.

The most amazing thing about the Barney fag poster, is he has been posting Barney for years in MLP threads on different boards, even though yhe comparison of Barney to MLP is a weak fucking argument. But the tism is a tism all the same.

It is several different people and for a long time a bot.

To be fair Ball and her band were not doing anything hot anyway. Tara Strong really carries the voice acting in my opinion, but there was some high quality stuff from everyone.

And You? You are still online! Sad!

>why did you do it
It was a dark time in my life. One of a few at least.
>how did it affect your social life
I may have watched it on and off and read a fic or two but I made damn sure that I kept that shit private. I already embarass myself with past actions enough.
>when
Two or so years.
>do you hate yourself for it
Very.
>how bad was it
Again, kept it secret. I have too much self awareness to do otherwise.

what is your motivation in all this?

do you just like being a meme?

It makes one happy to see you still around after all these years.

Still am a Brony, since 2012. Though honestly while I still watch and enjoy the show, even some of what's left of the fandom. I a lot of it for me now is nostalgia and clinging to past glories/happiness. Life has been nothing but down hill, so I hold tightly to a time where I was still very happy in life. /mlp/ brought me great joy and truly part of the happiest years of my life. So I now just hold onto that tightly as everything else faded around me. As life gets harder and more grey, as people move on and slow down. Remembering a better time, a time when I was genuinely happy, to a place that I truly felt at home in. Even now /mlp/ is always abd forever ny home board, even as I browse others, sometimes more then I do /mlp/. It will always be home, family.

I just want these degenerates gone. I'm acting for the commoners of this place.

/mlp/ got me into Jow Forums. At least that came out of it. Godspeed oldfag. You are the last of the best generation.

>/mlp/ got me into Jow Forums

me too

Why don't you do something useful and help get the trapfaggots out of here?

We already have >>>/mpl and containment boards for ponyshit which is banned everywhere else, we need the same policy towards traps, crate a containment porn board and forbid discussion outside of /lgbt/ and /soc/

I was on Jow Forums some before but honestly if not for mlp I certainly wouldn't have stayed.

There's plenty of factors to it, like the uniqueness in the fact that they're a different species, have different genitals, other cute physical features. There's the fantasy world, too, that a lot of ponyfags like to use to their advantage in imagining is however they like, to fit their fetishes and ideals, since the world is entirely fictional. In the end, though it's not really much different than being really interested in a Japanese loli, being your heart and dick taking you where it will.

Oh, and on the topic of target demographic.. Moe targeted at adults normally gets it wrong, and its idea of fan-service is having the male protagonist ogle your waifu and have her blush over him. For most of the show's run, ponyfags didn't have to worry about that, and she's entirely pure as far as canon is concerned. That was a big point of advantage.

>pre-scruffening /mlp/

actually the scruffening wasn't even the golden of the golden days, I remember at the very beginning there was a clop general up at any given time and there was absolutely no moderation, it was pretty raw Jow Forums. Had some good times in the early days. Remember I didn't post there for a long time because everyone was skeptical it would be /fur/ 2.0 and there would be mass permabans

still a horse fucker actually. I just keep it to my self and don't tell everyone I meet. Just moved to mlpol since I got super into pol. I still watch the show from time to time but not as religiously as I used to.

How are you a robot again?

Yeah, you're on your own for that one. I already have enough on my plate as it is.

I remember that myself, I actually got into the fandom right before /mlp/ came into existence, somewhere in January. The earliest days was the best, there was a certain magic to it. That I have not seen anywhere before or since. Except a brief glipse last year during the whole April Fool's merger with Jow Forums it wasn't quite the same, but damn it sure felt something alike to those days. For a fleeting moment I felt that happiness again. Like I did back then.

I felt the show got better after S3 I really liked S4 and S5 S6 was ok but S7 was pretty good.

I did it because I thought the show was good (it was until around s4 but maybe it got better after that, my interest waned). I tried not to make it a big deal but a few of my friends also got into it and made fools of themselves. I was trying to conceal my power level. I don't hate myself for it, I'm willing to tell someone if they asked.

Clop is in my porn rotation to this day

Why do you think we're here?

Super original oregano

I was in the game in 2012 and 2013. I read fics, clopfics, fapped to the porn and watched the show up to S2. I also spent hour on deviant art collecting art from the show.
Made a bit of a fool of myself when I wore a shirt with rainbow dash around and bought some figs. I don't regret it though. I converted a few people and it was fun as hell. Loved all the autism gold that came out of the fandom too like the mcdonalds unboxing vids. Fun times and there hasnt been anything like it since.
Also there were lots of funny youtube poops of it which I was huge into at the time.

lol I was wondering when you were going to find this thread user good to see you angry user!

I still watch it to this day. The show is still about cute characters going on adventures and getting into slice of life antics and being the huge sucker I am for cute shit I stuck around.

yeah same here! With me I got into the show because of my Ex Fiance she said she would only date a brony and it was funny to see how quickly I went from SUPER anti MLP to a fan. Though we broke up a year ago today I still watch the show since it really is pretty good quality and fun to watch. The characters are likeable, story pretty good and IDK I just enjoy it I blame my ex for getting into it but I blame my self for staying with it.
