You need motivation to be a brony? Okay so get this.

Bronies and the next era of Trekkies par se - but we are nothing like them. In the 80s or so when Star Trek really hit its audience many people took into the fandom by buying the merch, cos playing the characters and attending trek conventions. Today we are doing the equivalent but we have simply updated the procedure. Buy being part of the 'herd' (same ad being part of the 'next generation') we are promoting a brighter future by exploring creative concepts (fanart, videos, comics, music etc), toleration those who are indifferent (for example accepting homosexuality/metrosecuality) and connecting with people who truly have a good heart (because lets face it - jerks, jocks and dicks can't stand MLP's morals). So if anything, joining the herd is like being part of something better - depression, loneliness and hatred are thing of the past.

Plus we have ALOT of muffins. And who doesnt like muffins? :)

But no seriously, being a Brony isn't that bad and there's nothing to be ashamed of. You'll be more than a man (or woman, whatever the case), you'll have something to look forward to every week (new episodes), and you'll probably meet lots of friendly people in the community. Hell, if you can get your friends to like the show, you'll have a topic to talk about rather than boring "small talk".

Watch Ponies, or you'll make Fluttershy sad and Pinkie Pie psycho again like in episode 25

Fun adventures, loving communite, and six of the most loveable characters to ever grace the samll screen. What's not to love about this show?

Elsa, as you know by now, told myself and some others and see what we can do to help with your conversion to bronyhood. I personally think you'd be helping yourself and the brony community by joining. Just watching and sharing thoughts with us bronies is a great contribution. I can easily say we're the only fanbase that's only true followers value the entry of every new follower. Please consider watching the show, It's written and animated wonderfully and has not failed to amaze adult audiences of all kinds.

Its a damn good community whatever your into animation / movie, music, art or just lulz its got it all.
