Is it normal i am a 16-year old male and like my little pony
It was about four years ago that I first came into contact with anything affiliated with My Little Pony, I believe the figurative seed was planted when a girl in my 6th grade class was drawing ponies, or something of the sort, and she asked me weather I like MLP. Wishing not to made fun of I replied, "NO, of course not !", and at the time, I sincerely didn't. Later on though, I decided to watch the first episode just to see what the show was about, and what made it appeal to others, and from then on I was hooked. I watched the first three seasons in a relatively short time and then stopped watching roughly the time when Twilight became an alicorn. By then I was acquainted with the Mane-six, the most popular fan fictions, and a healthy deal of MLP-based music.
Skip ahead about three and a half years now. It has been a while since I watched MLP, ( for whatever reason I decided to stop watching after Twilight became an alicorn, not that I disliked the change, I just left off watching the show for a while ), but the other day, just for the fun of it I decided to catch up a little bit. I watched a few episodes from season six, and I was impressed by how far the show went while I was gone. Now, I am perfectly straight, but I find myself liking a show whose target demographic is for little girls, and I think that the ponies are cute. If I had the chance, I would love to simply pet Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash softly while they sit beside me looking at a nice sunset near my house. I feel better after watching an episode of MLP, and it really speaks to me on a level that other shows simply do not.
Is this normal ?
