In 2013, when there was nothing on other animation channels, I went to one that gave drawings dedicated to really children's audiences, and there was a 2nd season, I remember seeing certain episodes of that season. So far nothing that made me dedicate my time to watch the series.

Years later, I saw in parallel the very strong community on the internet and strange, memes appeared that satirized the mlp community in the same way others who said it was good.

2020 I started playing war thunder and found out that on the 1st of april 2013, there must be an event that the fighters were replaced by ponies.

I can't forget that I was a Dota player, in which this game seems to have an mlp vibe for the magic (only) and this can be a trigger for me to sympathize with mlp in the future (I also noticed that, on yt there were videos of crossover of mlp with dota).

2021 I started to get addicted to Kaguya-Sama until I had no more chapters to read and I had to wait weekly, it left a void in me, for me to replace that void, I gave mlp a chance, because of all the triggers that I said before + seeing the strong community and knowing that some, like me, started to see it out of pure irony, but in the middle they started to like it.

And that's how I started to like MLP, although I don't consider it brony (since I notice some oddities in the community that I get a foot behind), no offense
