Argh. Everywhere I went there was someone with a MLP:FIM avatar. Online newspaper article on terrorist disbandment? Someone is posting in the comments section with a pony avatar. Academic debate on the democratic deficit of the EU? Someone is posting with a pony avatar. So one day I decide to see what all the fuss is about, thinking to myself, "God, these people won't stop with the pony nonsense. I'll just watch it and troll a few forums for the lulz".
Season 1, Episode 1: "Ha, look how stiff the art looks. I can't believe this is so popular. And the whole friendship thing is so cheesy."
Season 1, Episode 2: "Oh, so the power of friendship defeated the closest thing to a god in this setting? Bull. I'll just watch one more episode, see how it is every day life in, heh, Ponyville that the 'power of friendship' can apparently solve all problems. I think i'll also watch in 720p. If i'm going to go through with this, I might as well do it in HD."
Season 1, Episode 25: "Haha, Pinkie Pie is the greatest. I really hope there are more episodes focused on he- Hold on. What am I saying? What the hell happened? Did I just get trolled by Lauren Faust? Goddamnit! Okay, no problem. No one ever saw me do this. NO ONE MUST KNOW."
Season 2, Episode 3: "Wohoo! Can't wait to see Luna. Haha, the whole "New Lunar Republic" thing is hilarious."
By the time you're discussed Pony-specific memes in internet forums and checking Equestria Daily... well, almost daily, you know it's too late. You have become
one of "them".
