It was more than love for a show, it was an addiction.
Normally a grown man would simply ignore anything that was clearly meant for girls visually, but since 4chan prompted you to give it a chance despite it, you became absorbed within the soft colors, the sweet voices of the characters, the fandom that surrounded the whole thing...
There is no other way I could explain it other than it was visual cocaine, dopamine stimulant, it felt good to be a brony, it felt good to watch the show, to roleplay as fucking Fluttershy, to write blogs about how the show would save humanity if everyone was more like a brony. Shit like that.
There is something to say about the design of the show that prompted an addiction among some anons, an addiction that made it ok for a grown man to go to McDonalds just to get a pony toy, to visit pony chans, to draw fanart.
I was there anon, I was there when my whole world revolved around this stupid show. I clopped, and I had no shame about showing the show to my family members. And I called myself a brony.
Thankfully I witnessed other bronies doing the most degenerate shit out there, disrupting the public peace, making an ass of themselves in public, so I was able to leave it, I will actually tell you that I felt some drawbacks, as if I was recovering from a drug addiction, because that is what the show was to me, visual cocaine, and it made me its fucking puppet.
I wish I could go back in time and not waste 5 years of my life on this shit.
