What got you(plural!) into the herd?
By that I mean what critical event made you be the heartfelt bronies you are now?
This is the first time I've ever told this story in full, usually it's the same as your average brony "saw some pics, went 'what?' looked into it, and was like 'win'" but the fact is it started some time ago on a site known as Rule34.
Titanium featured an anthro image of the mane six standing side by side in the usual hentai "flat chested on the left to large breasted on the right" sort of thing. "Intrigued" by the flat chested Rainbow Dash I began investigating these images, many were not up to standard and I was quite shocked that there was a sudden eruption of MLP porn. Then I googled it, google took me to wikipeida, wikipedia told me it was sweeping the interwebz and I decided to download season 1. I was hooked five minutes in when Twilight had to dumb her letter down for Spike, a situation I have with my family quite often, though not with letters, usual I just say something (not even something big, just something like "apoplexy") and everyone stares at me like I just used quantum physics.
