Meh, it's more of the lines of being over saturated when searching for a non-ponified image of a character/subject that I like, even on Google.
Surprisingly, the over saturation made me just pop in a link in YouTube to see what the fuss about, mainly from the suggested growing the beard selections. I have to say I've enjoyed the show and can't chose between Twighlight and Fluttershy. I will say that my aversion to the show is because growing up, anything related to MLP (in thus case, anything between G1 to G3.5) were considered girly and warranted getting bullied for even admitting to watching the show. I even watched, I think it was called, Ballard of the Brony on YouTube and sort of same conclusion in did with the author (or would it be youtuber) since I myself enjoy anime such as Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop (Even anime has gotten the "it's for kids/it's crap" stick).
I may be out of the loop, but have bronies welcomed ex-brony haters into the herd?
