End of the brony golden age? Angst among adult fans of My Little Pony as community declines

youtube.com/watch?v=4MxodxsBgaA

Bronies — a portmanteau of “bro” and “ponies” that refers to the mostly male adult fans of American toy company Hasbro’s latest reincarnation of My Little Pony — emerged as a strange phenomenon in the first years after the show began. What started as a largely online community quickly broke through into the real world as fans organized conventions and began making and selling artwork and toys based on the show. The largest brony convention, BronyCon, exploded from just 100 guests in June 2011 to more than 10,000 in Baltimore in the summer of 2015.

Fucking finally. You creeps had your decade in the limelight, now it's time to fade into obscurity along with other trends like Disco.

And never forget that you autistic idiots were dumb enough to fall for pic related before you cast off your obsession for little girls' toys and cartoons.

Honestly furriues as a whole has replaced it

I can't help but think that this was just a meme that grew out of control until the people who dug themselves six feet into it had no choice but to continue to pretend they actually liked that shit, to save face. Kinda like how the GOP is still pretending they wanted Trump after all.

Good. Bunch of retards created a sub-culture from a joke created by /b/. What's the quote about pretending to be retarded and getting joined by actual retards? Well, it's that-incarnate.

Are you 12 or do you just have some kind of memory loss?

Thank God. Even furries know to stay in their containment zones. Brokers are fucking disgusting

Bronies too. But my phone is too redpilled

Hey , i'm just sharing curious file for curious people.

I stopped watching at twilicorn. For Halloween someone storytimed the comic and poniville looked like diversityville, so I'm glad I got out of the ride

How do you spell 'out' wrong twice?

of course….

It had a cartoon series that was good in season 1 and then got continuously less good over time. It would be like still giving a shit about spongebob or rick & morty

certified faggot detected

same, when (((Hasbro))) killed off the OG creative staff the show become a parody of its self. sometimes I see nice fan art floating around that reminds me of the fun threads from season 1 and the crazy drama it caused on half-chan. from what I've heard the show has one more season before it gets a major reboot and a new creative staff turns it into "small horses want you to impeach trump" the series.

when you are part of a fad

you have

wow thats weird
you and i both mentioned
the term 'parody of yourself/itself'

I swear to God that was a complete coincidence


Synchronicity

the shows still ok but it went down in quality. what, did you think the fanatics would be fanatics forever?

meh, fist season had some neat ideas but the world and character back-stories were very vague. and I think that was part of what made the show appealing (along with the voice acting). it seemed (at first) that this children's show had a deeper mysterious (and darker) aspect that older fans kept theorizing about. I think Bronies or just older fans of mlp got caught up in a show they mostly made up in their heads (sort of like "lost") once the creative staff was switched out and the original vision of the show killed off, the only thing left was the content fans had been making on their own. not too soon after that Hasbro stared a campaign to take down the most popular fan works. this also coincided with an attempted sjw take over to kill the more "edgy" part of the fandom and turn it into another tumblr trans-homo safe space, (basically steven universe or undertale). for older user fans the show is a death march that they find (some) comfort in making fun of and reminiscing till it finally ends.

The "golden age" ended six years ago. Keep up, nigger.

lol it has been in declined

Remember that the show only declined when they kicked out Faust and brought in guest writers. Even then the anti-egalitarian message continued on until SJWs, as they are wont to do, started corrupting it.

Poners have long since transcended the mediocre quality of the actual series. The pozzed crap the current writers are injecting into it is irrelevant, in fact it's probably best that the series is going to end soon due to how little its creative staff cares about it. Even Faust's contribution is overrated; it mostly consisted of providing the basic characters, world and mythos. The majority of Pony lore is fan-created. MLP is basically a huge collective headcanon created by a deranged hivemind, just like everything else that 4chan has given birth to. And just like everything else 4chan has given birth to, it will grow, mutate, adapt, and even transform itself completely into something that has nothing to do with its original form and purpose; whatever happens, though, it's not going anywhere.

Furries have comeback with a vengence now that their zoosadism/pedophilia is coming to the surface. The shit leaking out now is way worse than 2007

Great, does this mean we're gonna focus on furfags again? It seems like they've gotten too comfortabe with the attention/heat being directed elsewhere.

finally, I can remove -mlp from my e621 searches at long last

I think a major part of the decline is 4chan mods having a near-global ban on pony images, you can't even post a smug reaction image without getting b@ for half a week. Quite ironic, considering that 4chan played a major part in helping it become popular in the first place. Yet another entry to list in the great big book of "Reasons to hate the 4chan mods".

I can't imagine why the Bronies are imploding.

All bronies deserve a bullet.

Everything is fascist if you squint hard enough. I know extremely little about the show as I've never watched it, but I DO know there was a little shota dragon always hanging around with the ponies (and half the porn has him involved in some way). So just with that the entire premise of "segregation" is already completely bunk. I'm sure the rest are just as false if put under actual scrutiny.

...

good

This just in, record numbers of so-called "bronies" are committing suicide in order to "be with their waifus".

In other news, Antifa member enrollment has inexplicably sharply dwindled.

It is just a cartoon, nothing special.

OK the subsection has come back into the originator killing said subfaction
IE bronism died out because curries became more and more a united degenerates sorta thing and while before bronies, sonicfags, pokefags and the like were splinter groups

DONT POST THAT FUCKING MOSIN NAGANT PICTURE

So I hear that some people believe that being a brony is gay. I told Pyro, Sparkup, and Merlin this. They didn't like what I said. People should know that not only are us bronies artistic, some bronies are in the military, trained to kill. Some of us, like me, also have very sharp katanas lying around. So, if you have a problem with the idea of older people watching My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, this sword is ready.

I really hope this is true and not some attempt at a cheap and blatantly obvious troll since I've been tired of this shit for years, now.
Ever since they started up with their bad meme Pony Brony Cloping Fucked-up shenanigans spewing their shit all over the internet like some horribly rancid soda pop bursting forth out of a giant overly shaken bottle all I have hoped for is an end to this endless psychological battering with post after post of pony pics on parts of the Internet I didn't even know existed until I went there.

It's been a nightmare of falling down an endlessly deep well only to find Fluttershy and Princess Mary Whatserfuck at the bottom waiting to greet me with joyous shouts of "Friendship is magic, user! You should try it!" How could anyone NOT want to kill these faggots dead as doorknobs after what they've subjected all of us to? I think an appropriate response is that every single user who's been given a kind of PTSD (Pony Traumatic Stress Disorder) Should sue the fuck out of every living Brony for chronically and endlessly abusing the fuck out of all of us!

Saved.

Considering the overwhelming proof posted on every site on the Internet from Alpacas.com to Zoology.com that you've all mercilessly, heartlessly and dare I say it, cruelly trolled, harassed, demeaned, impinged upon, intruded, force yourselves into or otherwise made your presence known even when literally millions of others made it clear you were not wanted certainly constitutes proof enough that you're all guilty of at least but not limited to at least six violations of local, county, state and US law pertaining to lawsuits wherein you have caused at the very least substantial harm to a good portion of the world population all of which should be worth monetary reimbursements and or penalties ranging in the millions of dollars all payable by you and all of your so-called Brony brethren!

With my compliments and thanks.
