When I was a little girl I liked ponies and adult men on the internet would bully me for "not knowing the lore".
Although I don't have internet access when I was a child. I would feel weird if adults in the internet tells 10 YO me that idk the Barney lore.
Edit: its Barney the dinosaur, not from half life.
Did they know you were a little girl?
@@MarcellusJasonClay well....adults do it all the time with pokemon, when a kid tries to tell them that mewtwo ia unbeatable
@@troywright359 I hope I will never become one of those kinds of adults
Wow grown ass men bullied you over fictional characters...that's crazy.
i was slightly older than the demographic aim of friendship is magic (i was already a teenager when it was in it's heyday) but i was still a teenage girl who liked it and one of the worst things ever was when i went to a toystore and looking at the pony stuff and was legitimately bullied away from them by adult men who were quizzing me on how much pony lore i knew
edit just to add LOL thank u to everyone saying they feel bad for laughing at the story, it's absolutely hilarious to me now as an adult it was just insane to even thank about back in the day, so please laugh it's very funny
That's beyond creepy.
Jesus Christ they should be ashamed of themselves
Aw, that sucks. Some people have no self awareness
That is straight up creepy
And then getting bullied by the kids at school because you were like one grade ahead of the other mlp fans
if you're ever feeling down, just remember that child offenders always get attacked in jail by other inmates.
Good. They deserve to rot in tartarus for eternity.
after reading that im at least glad im safer by one person
@@nolanwoodrow8747 Your yardstick shouldn't be other people but yourself. Be better than your previous self.
To be honest, knowing that people really feel Joy in watching somebody getting beaten to death really makes me lose my faith in humanity.
@@franciscofernandez3415 if you know what the person getting beaten did before they went to jail, you'll understand.
Although your thoughts are 100% normal, I would kind of lose faith in humanity if I seen others enjoying other people's beatdowns, too. but once you get context, you'll be more than glad.
Hearing a 24year old tell a 14year old "you have the curves" made me violently angry.

Not angry enough, since the person in question is still alive.
Imagine being a father who noticed your daughter enjoyed the show mlp, you then took her to a mlp convention as a surprise and once you took her, you found out all the guests were Middle Aged men with fully grown beards and rainbow wigs on.
Imagine you're the type of parent that would just drop her off and carelessly just leave. :(
I would be like: "Nah nvm..We going to Disney instead."
Bobs Burgers did this
@@ShinFahima my mom was very wary of my interest in MLP and the “brony” community. Not because I was 11-13 years old and enjoying a show aimed at younger kids, but because I was 11-13 and possibly (naïvely and unbeknownst to myself) interacting with grown men who were interested in a show that is aimed at younger kids-more specifically, younger girls. I feel like she would croak at the thought of leaving me at a brony convention alone. I’m so grateful for that sort of guardedness now, honestly. She had me in her best interest.

I’m a teenage girl who genuinely really enjoys MLP, especially pinkie and fluttershy, and I can say this fandom truly *disturbs* me.
teen girl here too, and same. these ppl r crazy
another teen girl who's a fan, i'm very grateful i found out about these guys wayy later on
Every fandom has its perverts but bronies are on another level entirely. I grew up in the Sonic & Godzilla fandoms and didn’t see a fraction of this degeneracy
@@G_Zilly Even SONIC has less degeneracy than bronies?
It really does. I remember being 11 and getting bullied on Amino because I didn't ship Fluttershy and Discord. The only good fandom experience I had was doing an art trade with a really nice person 😀
I knew a brony for a while, I asked him why he was into it and he said to me that he was apart of the war in Afghanistan and from all the horrors he saw, he saw genuine comfort in this show since the show was so innocent. Which is more understandable than most other explanations. I didnt know he was a brony until he changed his discord pfp to a pony.
"The show was so innocent" except for the part when there were slavery in the show which I find very funny

They're not old enough. Thats why they're called a minor.

I heard that and I was like "yep you're a pedophile"
Minor is mature is crazy
"If the minor is mature enough." Has to be one of the most unhinged things I've ever heard.

"If a minor is mature enough to realize they get too angry in video games, they would have a lot more respect"
That's the best way to put this sentence into something normal.
LITERALLY 😭
Stop it with your bigotry.
I used to be a brony and I was straight up almost groomed by a 26 y/o when I was 13. He knew where I lived because he took me home after a brony meet up (we were the only two brony's there) he would text me everyday and lovebombed me like crazy. my dad INSTANTLY knew what was happening and told the dude never to get into contact with me again
Thanks dad.
Lil edit: My dad did something as soon as he found out what was happening, I lied to him saying "oh yeah a friend gave me a ride home!" Or something to that extent not realizing the weight of the situation. I was a 13 y/o boy who thought he could defend himself if anything did happen and was just too stoked to have another brony friend hah. It was pure naiveté on my part. My pops did all he could to protect me with the given situation.
Your father is a CHAD
Where was ur dad when a complete stranger is driving you home at 13?!!!
How do you end up in such a situation
at least he didn't bring you somewhere else
@@ilikemario295 you mean at least she didn’t go
My daughter grew up watching MLPFIM, and I watched with her so as to be able to relate to her interests. She's a high school junior now, and we still talk about MLP from time to time. I appreciated the rich characters, interesting storylines, humor, and encouraging messages that the show introduced to kids.
I don't care what people want to obsess over, just leave kids OUT of it please, and keep your fetishes away from public places and kids' events. Have the common decency to understand healthy boundaries, and respect them.
But even that isn't enough for some people; some will actively go out of their way to try and shame things like fetishes.
@@novatare yea that's not cool either.. long as it's between consenting grown-ups, whatever people want to obsess over is their own business and more power to em. Unfortunate that there always seems to be enough troublemakers who give the whole group a bad reputation... it's why humanity can't have nice things that someone doesn't spoil.
You sound like you never got a fetish before. Do you know what it does to you.
I hope awareness starts being brought to light to avoid this dark side of the internet
Thank you for being a good dad and paying attention to what your kid was consuming. I mean this sincerely.
So many parents just do not care. It's nice to know that some still do. Good job dad.
Bro when Zack said "You guys know me," only to have one of his friends respond with "I thought I did," hit me right in the chest. I'd feel betrayed as shit too if I knew someone for that long and discovered they were like this. Sounds like his friends deserved better.
Even so, I would still like to be friends.with Zach. I may not be a minor, but I feel pity for him.
That's also one of the most manipulative things you can say. If friends just turn their back on you without strong evidence or hearing your side of things then that is terrible. However, using the "you know me" in response to an allegation without providing actual evidence just plays on the emotional connections people have with you. If anything it seems more suspicious because providing counter-evidence should be enough to prove your innocence.

My sister was actually a really active member of the mlp/brony community, I went to conventions and meetups with her and honestly out of all the fandoms I've witnessed and been around bronies are either the most degenerate or nicest people you'll come in contact with.
Eeyup
I had a friend who was a brony when we were younger. He definitely was a weirdo but he was a good dude
Sometime we were both, but never were we neither.
It's got a weird revival too, considering they released a new generation of mlp.
I've found something similar with furries. They're either the warmest, friendliest bunch, or unhinged crackpots who I would tuck and roll out of a moving car to avoid.
The thought that grown men would be sexually atracted to ponies never crossed my mind
Rule 34 is inevitable
This is a real psychological thing that happens. Exposure to constant pornographic or positive material can cause attraction to specific things. That's why fetishes and kinks happen most of the time. Also why people say you shouldn't joke about kinks because you will develop it, the brain is basically a separate entity from the person sometimes and development of kinks is a result of that.
They aren’t men. They’re children in a man’s body. Lots of men are children these days.

You know damn well the brony fanbase is nothing but degenerates and weirdos.
I love how the modern mlp community are the kids who grew up with the show that are now pissed off at the brony community for making the fandom such a terrible place for them.
I saw one thread in Twitter a year ago where current generation of bronies were against 4chan /mlp/ and blamed them for random things. Lol, dumb kids, 4chan anons actually created this fandom.
@@StrashnoeEbalo We found the Neckbeard Brony
yeah I grew up with the show and I have never once used 4chan (didn't even know what it was until this video lmao) so yeah it is pretty annoying when people assume stuff about me even when I just liked the show as a show. Like no one ever gets bullied for liking scooby doo or something. It's just kinda dumb
Real
@@StrashnoeEbalo /mlp/ is a cesspit and m00t should be prosecuted for not ending this cancer back in 2010
as someone who was actually a little girl when this series came out who was obsessed with it, I can't even begin to recount the trauma I had from being a part of this community AS ITS INTENDED TARGET AUDIENCE 😭 liking mlp when i was 9 or so was how i was first introduced to porn just by googling the character's names to look up pics of them. i'm so glad this era seems to be over or at least has crawled to the corners of the internet to die
At 9!? Holy fvcking sh!t!! I feel like kids can’t just enjoy something without it being sexualized by grown ppl
We’re in the same hole bud, i remember so much content where mlp was involved but was intended for an older audience. I have siblings now that watch youtube but i hate how they have free reign of it.
Jesus christ, this is actually wild. Getting porn photos just from searching up the names of one of the characters from a children's show is one of the craziest things I've heard hope you doin good 👍
something I absolutely hate about the internet is that this is still the case with any animated character. If you google the name of a character from Poppy Playtime, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Teen Titans, etc. there will always be someone's weird fetish porn fanart within the first few results. I'm not sure why google seems to prioritize these images as being the most relevant when you are just looking up the name of the character and nothing else, but obviously children are going to see that when they just want to look at pictures of their favorite cartoon. it's disgusting
@@-Araina- worse yet is that safe search doesn't even filter all of it out.
And they're ALL single
That’s crazy
I watched mlp when I was 2-4 years old mainly because I was part of the 2010s kid phase also my next door neighbors had pony merch and I was like cool and we did everything together I was a younger kid than them they look to be my age but taller and I would always watch MLP because they had Hub (now it’s called Discovery Kids)
I wasn’t a brony officially but I was just watching them for my toddler entertainment I miss the early 2010s it was the best time to be a kid now look at these early 2020s kids
I like to imagine at least some of em do this shit for their daughters

"THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS, ZACH."
I'm glad my cousin Zac is a well behaved young man. I wouldn't want to tell him that line.
For a show with talking horses spreading friendship the fandom sure like making stories about gore and characters killing each other and turning them into cupcakes.
ah yes pinkiepie casually turns rainbow dash into cupcakes for others to eat!
*yes i've seen those videos years back ;-;*
Like EDP cupcakes? 😕
Cupcakes was made during a time when creepypastas were blowing up, and it was one of the first MLP grimdark stories to get popularized along with Rainbow Factory. The idea of cute cartoon horses getting horribly murdered was still a new concept at the time, which is why it became so infamous in the first place.
Yup to be fair that was a more edgy era of the internet compared to the sanitize too safe internet today
Though I have a feeling that era will return one day (though not as prevascent as the wild west era) human nature is just hard to tame especially when it comes to edgy teenagers writing stories
Story about killing others and turning into cupcakes? Damn! Isn't that basically Soylent Green but in MLP?
a toast to all the former little girls that were the age demographic for this show that had to witness the horrors that bronies brought on us.
What horror bro
@reggielacey2235 All of the pornography, toxic arguments, blood and gore and horror animations like Smile HD and Cupcakes, the grooming, the bullying of younger kids that are genuinely the shows target audience by older bronies, etc etc etc etc
It’s so disturbing to see what grown adults did to an innocent children’s show. There isn’t really anything inherently bad about adults being into a kid’s show, but the line is drawn when you take that show and insert inappropriate adult things into it. Thank GOD the brony community is dead now
@@tempertantrum6464 Dead? Dormant...

I loved it when I was a young adult. The brony community ruined it.
idk considering ur pfp it looks like they still got you
@@SpaghettiDerkHAHAA!! Good point. I was thinking the same.
@@HappiShellyyea your a fucking weirdo
@@HappiShelly Why would the "brony community" ruin it? I've never been part of any "community", but I love animations and cartoons, specially old Disney movies where everything was handmade and they put so much creativity into it, but also newer, animated movies like by Pixar, and I've always loved magical worlds, like with elves and fairies and magic, like Tolkien books and other Fantasy books.
As an adult male, MLP was a bit boring and childish at time, but had some positive messages to, about friendship and such, so I watched probably 10-30 episodes on Netflix, and some of the characters was really cute made and some things was really funny. I didn't like the old versions of MLP when I was a kid, that girls liked, and I don't like the newest version of MLP I've seen only a few short clips by, since it seem to lack the "positive message" from the previous version, and is just a little girl thing, like barbie.
I know you likely didn’t have time, but since you mentioned Lily Orchard, I wouldn’t mind a video delving into the absolute rabbit hole that is her internet presence.

His. Biology cannot be changed. Meanwhile you're shaming and shunning actual women by acknowledging his cosplay and every changing goalposts designed to absorb more and more power, no different than the brony creeps keeping little girls out of a space designed for them.

Some people started hyping it up as a troll, other people joined in ironically to make it go viral, then as new people discovered it, they didn't understand the compliments were from trolls and they actually got legitimately into the show.
Jenna Nicholson does a wonderfully entertaining video about it as she was in the community for a long time, and was a voice on the parody "friendship is witchcraft"

Good comment, didn't notice that.
Time stamp?
This makes me sad because as an adult man, sometimes I watch cartoons for kids out of nostalgia or just boredom. I'd hate to be lumped in with these people.
Nothing wrong with being an adult man watching cartoons. Personally I love specially old Disney cartoons, those where they hand-made and painted in great detail every frame of the cartoons. They were works of art. But I also love things like Pixar animation films, like WALL-E, Inside Out, Tangled, Brave, Shrek, and there's a lovely Irish movie company that have made some really lovely animated cartoon-movies, like 'The Book of Kells', 'The Song of the Sea' and another one about wolves I don't remember the name of, with mythology and Irish music in it. I specially enjoy stuff like that if I'm depressed or anxious, but also if I'm really bored.
Same here. But they are the good one like Thundercats, Heman, and a select few disney cartoon movies to also review to sell as well. Barney and other little kids shows and movies nope. Lol.
A lot of people do this. You're fine as long as it has nothing to do with whatever is happening here. 😂
I love cartoons too and I'm an adult, I get it dude, these people are just weird
watching a show is not the same as making it your whole identity 😂
"Clopping it" and having "horsefame" is fucking wild
and I thought 2024 terminology was bad lol.
I entered the fandom in the early days during season 1, when I was about 8 years old. I remember being so proud that the show reached the popularity that it did, and I still am incredibly proud of the artists especially (MLP's fan songs, animations, etc SLAP). But it came to a point a few years later where I started to catch onto things and realize how twisted some of these people were. It is very interesting to be an OG fan and experience the destruction of a fandom first hand, I'll tell you that.
I know right? I watched MLP since gen 1 so seeing it morph into what it is now is crazy. There are plenty of good and talented people in the fandom but wow, FiM got done dirty by weirdo adults.
mfer you weren't in a "fandom" at 8 years old you were the intended audience
wouldn't say it destroyed the fandom,
it's not like every single adult who watched the show was weird, they added a lot to the community.
sure there where a few bad actors in the community, but other than that i would say it thrived.
@@LuxxyOfficial there were enough bad actors that associating with it is suspicious
@Seeing Star please stop, we don’t want your spicy mashed potato recepie.
I was a child 'brony' (young to mid teens). man, the things I saw... I still adore this show. For me it will forever remain a wholesome, nostalgic escape. I have, somehow, successfully separated the horrorfic cursed media from the wholesome within my brain and im very grateful for that
Return to it now, seeing the wholesomeness drop into a deep pit of grimdark despair helps make the cheery parts all the more beautiful.

I mean I don't know what I expected from a pedo but ya know
@@sevdijehavziu3015 well, a minor is capable of being mature but that doesn't mean they're a exception to age of consent laws. That's where the argument pedos make (if there is any) falls extremely short.
Red flag. I hope such red flags don’t have a Swosticker on it, if you know what I mean, because Mr mustache was interested in his niece and controlled her to the point she decided to remove herself
what some bronies did are actually horrifying,
but i don’t think the weird and creepy people in the fandom can define the whole fandom. i love mlp and im part of the fandom even though im a 17 year old girl, but i love the show because i watched it as a kid and it brings back nostalgia and the show really makes my mood better when i watch it. the fan made animations and stories are also very interesting to me and i can tell how much hard work was put into them. there are some really great people that make mlp related content and i hate that we (normal bronies) are sometimes grouped with the creepy ones. especially when people judge me for liking the show just because of weird things other people that like the show have done.
Definitely cuz the definition of a “brony” is a guy who watches mlp and let’s not called those weirdos bronies cuz there not bronies there just creeps
Being a grown man into a show made for single-digit aged girls is weird af and youre weird af for liking it
I was the target audience (8 year old girl) when I first watched the show. I was only doing it ironically and to hate on it because I was a pretty big tomboy at the time. To my surprise I liked the first episode and watched more until I eventually considered myself a big-time fan. I even dressed up as Rainbow Dash one time for Halloween. I think a part of the reason it became so popular is because despite it being aimed at children it doesn't baby or talk down to them, and the lessons they taught actually had substance to them. Many of my friends also really liked the show because of this and even my current friends who I did not know at the time also said they watched it growing up. I was a part of the fandom and liked the music, fanart, RUclips parodies, ytps, etc. and somehow I don't think I ever stumbled across anything weird. I lost interest in it at about 14 but thankfully I am able to say that it was a very fond part of my childhood.
Aw that's a cute story! I wasn't the target demographic when I first watched it in my early teens, but I had a similar experience with the show. When I first learned about it through memes, I began watching it out of spite just to talk shit on it. But for those reasons you mentioned, I started to genuinely enjoy the show.
I first noticed the show in 5th grade and honestly I had a similar reaction as you. I saw it so often while scrolling on netflix and was finally just like "Alright bro lemme see how bad this is" and then I actually ended up liking the show a lot. I actually started by watching rainbow rocks the movie instead of the actual show first which was kinda confusing lmao but I think it actually got me to tolerate the first season of the show because the movie was a lot better than the first season lol and I think that if I had started with that I woulda quit the show immediately.
i was probably around 4 when i started watching.. poor 6 year old me who had unrestricted access to the internet.
That’s so awesome. Wish more people made it out unscathed 😂
same bro!
As a mother, I don't understand how people just leave their kids unsupervised on the internet and don't look into their interests. I had to explain to a friend what her 18-year-old son being a brony was. She found crazy stuff on his computer when she finally looked .

Nobody under 25 has any idea what “pass the aux cord” means which is hilarious and also makes me feel old.
God those screenshots of his conversations with that 15yo girl made my fucking heart break. She fucking trusted him when it was so obvious he was a predator. And it hurts worse because I was that kid once. I was overly trusting and eager to please and jumped headfirst into discussions of sex, way back when I was 14-16. I came so fucking close to being actually irrevocably harmed by groomers, and now I'm just left with the shame.
Wherever that girl is now, I really hope she's doing ok.
I was in this situation, but ended up getting pregnant and dumped. It's horrible that they do this. That was a long time ago btw and I'm a healthy happy adult
I'm so sorry for you. When I was a boy that age, I was growing up in an extremely strict religious home, and I heavily repressed my sexuality to the point where I ended up finding weird fetish stuff online that was worse than the p**n my parents wanted to protect me from. Really lucky that no predators found me.
I completely understand. This is incredibly messed up. I’m so sorry this happened to you
Mach, you were getting OFF to the predators in that scenario.
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 When I was 14-15 years old, I read stories about femdom on barebones websites that involved boys my age and adult women. There weren't any chat or other communications features, and I was fortunate no predators could reach me because of that.
Also I like how dramatic these skype calls are. Imagine being judged for pedophilia by a bunch of low voiced guys with cute avatars.

ahh and the dolls for galaxy girls and the whole concept is so cool!! wish it actually took off
The fact that she made (what is pretty much agreed to be) a masterpiece out of this profit-chasing commission, after her own idea was scrapped, shows quite the dedication on her end.
Also, having been on DeviantArt quite often recently, I've seen both TLH fans and haters of the wildest varieties.

16:22 “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” goes so hard, it sucks that line had to be used against a pedophile
Something I noticed with the EDP that applies to numerous situations like this, ppl are more interested in exposing and feeling like some sort of internet authority instead of actually going to the proper authorities and getting these sickos off the streets/ internet
They clout chasing
MamaMax reports pretty much everyone he covers. And the police usually do Jackshit in 99% of the cases, even when he makes that fact public knowledge.
Most of the people I watch do actively send reports to police, including actual name and photo of the predator (evidence too). It's just that unless you're a channel that works directly with police on a pedo hunt, your report will probably get ignored.
I'm not saying to not send reports, but i am saying that most of these pedos get maybe 8 years in jail if police actually DO something. I have rarely ever seen these bastards get sentences in the double digits.
And a lot of the time police flat out say they can't do anything, the judge is completely inept or the pedo makes some kind of claim that gets them out of trouble.
I have seen a few channels that do it for clout, but they're few and far between, just thought i'd explain some of the frustration that comes with actively hunting pedos to get them arrested.
Sometimes it really just boils down to; all we can do is warn people about them.
I found the chances of a brony being a literal creep increase by 100% if their favourite pony was Rainbowdash.

The show wasn't made just for girls, and Faust was smart enough to make sure there was appeal for adults, since there would be a lot of parents or other adult guardians watching.
That being said, 99% of bronies abhor the monsters highlighted in this video.
finally, a reasonable new comment
I watched it a few episodes when I'd babysit my nieces, but I never really saw the appeal that bronies apparently did.
The only thing I remember from that show was everyone forgetting the pink one's birthday, and she lost her fucking mind, went cross-eyed, and started talking to potatoes lol

@@tuggleworm2690all he said was the show was enjoyable lmao. Never said he was a Brony, just pointed out how he can see it’s possible to be interested based on what he saw
@igotsauce Why? There's a big difference between stories written *primarily* for children and stories written *only* for children. It's well-written, funny, and has good characters and an interesting setting. Like... you know employed adults are the ones that create cartoons, right? People who love writing good stories and creating rounded characters and building fun worlds. Heck, I wanna work on cartoons as a career and I hope I get to be part of a crew that loves its work so much.
And... like, so what if it was directed at girls? Why is it that nobody bats an eye when shows directed at boy audiences attract girl viewers, but not the other way around? Adults aside, plenty of young boys watched MLP. Heck, one of them got his own character put in an episode thanks to the Make-A-Wish foundation.
@@tuggleworm2690 That's not the kind of person who needs help. It's those who became obsessed and those who felt it was okay to bully children and sexualize everything.

@@lagtim327 It's like with Power Rangers. It's a show for kids, but it has so much action and loveable characters anyone can enjoy it.
this is one of the oddest fandoms but I have to admit it was a very well produced show
I agree with that after watching this video, cause honestly I didn’t even know some of this was a thing. Probably because I got into the show when they were airing their last season. The brony community may be odd (both in a good and bad way) but it is still a good show regardless.

I was a huge fan of mlp when I was 6-10 yrs old and had hundreds of those blind bag figures you’d get from Walmart. Ofc I looked up mlp stuff on RUclips, and occasionally I’d find some gorey disturbing animation featuring the ponies and would get extremely uncomfortable and upset. Fortunately I didn’t see much of the sexual side of the fandom, but it still scarred me for life watching cupcakes for the first time.
I can relate with you, I'm surprised someone else went through what I said. I had to watch Smile HD and it scarred me

I just remember when my sister and I were little--I was in middle school--and we went to see the first Equestria Girls movie in theaters. My sister was wearing a Rainbow Dash hoodie, and when we walked into the theater lobby there was a man in his 30s-ish wearing the exact same hoodie. The audience was as much adult men as it was children and parents.
There's nothing inherently wrong with liking cartoons no matter what your age, but I just remember the look on my mom's face as *soon* as she saw the man wearing the Rainbow Dash hoodie. It was the look of a mom who had IMMEDIATELY started running scenarios through her head of male strangers trying to lure her daughters into awful situations with their favorite show as the catalyst. And, after the movie, she was sure to remind us of stranger danger, and that just because someone's wearing the same rainbow dash hoodie as us doesn't mean they're safe, and to stay with her.
The rainbow dash hoodie guy was 99.% not going to try and pull anything, he was just having fun going to the movie, he kept to his own business. There was, again, nothing wrong with him going to the movie or owning a rainbow dash hoodie. But I still think my mom was in the right to be so immediately worried--there is still that 1% chance. If you're an adult, especially a guy but any adult, you need to be careful if you're in fan spaces for media that's also enjoyed by children. Keep your content properly tagged, don't interact with kids beyond common courtesy, they don't know you. And if you're in the same space, especially in person as in a movie theater, understand the concerns of parents and just don't be a weirdo.
I’m a guy and I really loved this show, but not in the way a lot of these weirdos do. I more so watched the show to help me cope with my bullying and harassment issues. It really did help and I made a few friends through it.
Same here buddy. I was absolutely shielded from the bad stuff until like 2018. Still, a few good ones exist. LittleShyFIM's a good example. I mean, I still am technically one and make animations on them on my other channel. Just fun stuff.

People hated on the fans long before then because liking the show when you’re not a little kid is weird (saying that as a fan myself) to other people. Part of it is the cartoon part of it (it was like pulling teeth to get my family to watch Gravity Falls, but then they really liked it. Animation just has stereotypes that don’t fit anymore). The other part is what MLP gens 2-3 were, which was much more tailored exclusively to kids.

@@theecharmingbilly gravity falls was on Disney channel, marketed towards kids. You’re deluding yourself into thinking otherwise. I got my whole family to watch it with me over the summer, parents included. Their conclusion was that it was a “kids show with more mature themes”. That is what the fourth generation of My Little Pony was too.
As it went further along it got a lot worse and fit the mold people had for it, at least in my opinion. But the first few seasons have plots that range from ancient artifacts to rampant chaos Gods. That’s literally half the plot of Gravity Falls. You can’t excuse one while saying the other is “adult content”.
Also, you’ve never heard of “The Last Airbender”? It’s a show made by Nickelodeon, made for kids, staring a ten-year-old. Yet it’s still used as one of the best examples of good writing by internet reviewers everywhere, to the point I’ve even seen people using it to show what Game of Thrones should have done. It was also the show I had recommended to me more times than any other, even more than Gravity Falls. I know we clearly disagree about TV in general, but do yourself a favor and at least Google it.

i unfortunately have an update on zak. he's been active mainly on discord and furry twitter rp for years and i was unfortunately a friend of his since 2021, being completely unaware of his past. all of us that had recently became friends with him, we had actually just done a confrontation with him in july about his gross perverted behavior, not even involving pedophillia, all of us being completely unaware about his past in grooming minors. he was just so shitty and gross to all of us still that we ended up cutting him off. we have since learned about his giant rabbit hole of a past only a few days ago, and we are making him known for his crimes right now on twitter with various callout posts and threads. he has unfortunately not gone to prison yet, but we are trying to get attention drawn to him again so that something may be done.
Another member of that friend group here. I can confirm all of this is true, and we did make sure that our Zak is the same Zak as this one. We were shocked to learn about his past recently; he had mentioned attending conventions and even interviewing some well-known people before, but he never told us anything about him being someone (in)famous in the community. Thankfully, he hasn't been interacting with any minors inappropriately since we met him as far as we know, but other than that he has NOT improved as a person. I think the clearest indicator of that is when he found out that someone in one of his groups was, wouldn't you know it, a pedophile. He did ban the person, but it's _really_ telling that some of his first responses was "I'd lose a good roleplay partner" and "I bet I'd get shit for it if I didn't do something." I hate that his reluctance to take action makes so much more sense knowing what we know now.
Man I remember when MLP was pretty much the apple of strife in every community and would make fans and haters go to war with each other before it turned into another neutrally regarded memetic phenomenon.

I'm surprise you didn't do a topic on Lily Orchard. Before the toonkritic incident, Lily was a former friend and editor of Josh Scorcher; their friendship ended after she was fired for secretly editing his scripts without his permission and behind his back. She developed this weird hate obsession of Josh Scorcher for this and did everything she could to bring him down. Lily was in the call with the one of the victims along with Josh and his friends. The group chat consists of plans of how to handle the situation. Lily knew that Toonkritic was one of Josh's friends at the time and decides to befriend the victim and made an 'exposure' of Josh and his friends, weeks prior of them to initiate their plan. Yes, it did help get word out on toonkritic's predatory behavior, but it caused toonkritic to go into hiding before anyone can get information of his location or whereabouts. The victim who became Lily's friend was then emotional/mentally manipulated by her. Lily would convince the victim to draw nsfw arts (one of them being bestiality) and in return would receive large sums of money. At the time, the victim was near the brinks of being homeless and was desperate for any sums of money. Lily even convinces the victim to 'roleplay'/flirt with her as anon asks on her tumblr blog.
Here is a link of said victim and their experience with Lily (Patchwork Heart: The lily Orchard situation): ruclips.net/video/pXJIPvI38kY/видео.html
Lily Orchard is another video in it of itself. She had SO MUCH controversy over the years
Just a Robot covered this well.
So glad somebody said it first
I actually found out about this stuff with Toonkritic from Lily's video, and even as an 11 year old watching I was suspicious about how well she presented herself compared to everyone else in the situation. Jeez its so weird looking back on all of this stuff

Fun fact, the first ever “porn” I came across as a kid was my little pony.
I sat there in an after school “school” sitting on a beanie bag next to a bunch of other 14 year olds and stared in disbelief on what I had accidentally stumbled on.
Other kids came to look and we had a joke and a laugh and I put the video to rest forever.
Also, I think I stumbled upon it because I was searching up a female character that I really like in this one game I played as a kid.
She was not exactly PG-13 friendly.
What game
was the character krystal from starfox adventures
im betting shantae
I got $20 dollars on Bayonetta
Me too! I was pretty young. Under 10, and my brother was watching something. I wanted to know what it was so I went up behind him and it was rainbow dash getting... Y'know. Changed my perspective on life forever.
.... Something went horribly wrong with mankind
imagine me, a 4 year old, in 2010, finding out about bronies... i thought it was so cool that i liked a show popular with adults... until i realised i was permanently scarred by pony porn and gore.
wow, 4 year old is a literal baby ://

i remember getting bullied relentlessly by older men that it got so bad i had to deactivate my DA acc. I was 11, and the thing that set the bullying off was me creating an Alicorn oc. Since older bronies were obsessed with lore at the time if it wasnt the nsfw. I was an 11 year old with autism trying to develop my creativity in different ways, but was stopped thanks to the bronies. recently ive been trying to come back and watch some of the old episodes and relive my childhood as a 21 year old, now i make silly fanart, my own versions of the ponies, and share my stuff with the world. It is possible to enjoy this franchise without being a nasty fuck.
yyyyeah there used to be alotta hate on alicorn ocs. tho i wouldnt imagine it was cause of canon least thats never been a reason ive ever heard given for why one would hate on a alicorn. it was usually do to a stereotype of them being poorly or lazily designed marry sues and it eventually just turned into a stigma that if u saw an alicorn oc it was an abomination. unfortunate times those were, fandom def had alotta immature idiots back then, least more than it does now. things are so much more chill now after we died alittle after the 4th season and fell from relevancy. helped us get rid of some of that toxicity and made it easier to avoid, least in my experience.
@@theblazingpegasus9151 i completey agree, its another reason im poking my head in it a bit bc i do miss the series and making art of the ponies. ive been a fan of mlp since i was 2, grew up with it, just sucked that i was the target audience and got bullied off the fandom
Do you have an art account somewhere that you might be comfortable sharing? :) I'd like to see your art.
You should've never looked back the fuck?
Do you by any chance use Insta? I’d love to look at ur art 🕺💃
it's extremely sad seeing just how many weird and degenerate people, mostly grown men, managed to ruin not only the mlp fandom's reputation but ruin safe spaces for kids online. i genuinely believe that if you asked most people who were fans of mlp when they were kids, they would tell you they had a traumatic experience with mlp online. whether that be weird fans, gorey stuff, nsfw stuff---it just seems so prevalent in the fandom's early years, to an extent i haven't really seen with other animated shows.
i just recently got back into mlp after years of disinterest, and i can only hope the fandom is a lot better now. it seems the case, with only a loud minority of creeps, but idk. it's always interesting to talk about this stuff.
Simple lol, socially shame anybody who espouses interest in pony content above the age of 16
Thers no such thing as a safe space for kids online
Men generally can't keep their dicks and perverted thoughts out of anything. There was a hole in the pavement in my town. A literal hole in some concrete. At least TWO men were arrested in the same month for having 'sex' with the hole in public. A hole in concrete. Obviously not all men are revolting perverts but damn, so many are that it makes them all look bad as a whole. Especially when the others don't call the perverts out.
@@doeeyes2 true i guess. i was thinking more of the degree of it. you can always try and carve out a safe space for yourself but it was much harder in the mlp fandom.
The gorey mlp stuff never traumatized me as a kid since I was also a horror movie fan but the nsfw side traumatized me and the horny ass dudes that were fans of the nsfw stuff. Literally it still baffles me how grown ass men would want to fuck a colorful horse from a little kids show
You could make this video about any community, because no matter what, horrible people will be in every community. With this, you don't help anyone, just making that one specific community look bad... What you forget here is that sometimes these communities are the only hope for people who just simply can't fit into mainstream society for various, often not malicious reasons.
That’s the point of this video lol. Besides not all communities are that bad. The DMC community, the Yakuza community are pretty fine.
I feel like this fandom is just like the furry fandom:
they're not all bad people, far from that, but the minority of creeps and actual criminals get much more attention than the normal people.
And when I speak on furries I compare them to bikers,
A some of them are awful people but most of them mean well.
I think that comparison is apt, especially given that the majority of decent people have a vested interest in defending their communities from the perception from the outside that they're all creeps, so turn a blind eye to the actual creeps among them, therefore making it easier for creeps to operate within the community.
@@CJMGalaxy You know, I hate to admit it, but I really think you're right. I never understood why these communities didn't crack down harder on their own bad apples, but what you've said makes sense. Depraved creeps do some bad shit, and then outsiders just rail on the entire community, meaning the decent members of the group become more interested in defending themselves than actually admitting that these people are creeps and dealing with the issue.
@@gokuxsephiroth4505 yeah, just my observation as a long time outside obsever of both fandoms. Within the last five or so years the furries have gotten a ton better at dealing with their nazi problem, and attempts have been made to ostracize animal rapists, but it seems to me they still struggle with keeping creeps and zoophiles out - partially because of the somewhat more anonymous nature of fursuits and fursonas. The brony community has dwindled significantly in the past few years, so I think the creeps' access to kids has decreased, but they never really did deal with their creep problem while the fandom was thriving.
if youre a grown man and enjoying a show about ponnies made for kids then you need pyschological help
Jenny Nicholson did an autopsy of the Brony fandom that was really insightful and that video had a lot of interesting comments from bronies/former bronies. Most interesting were the guys who were like "we're taught growing up the only way that's appropriate to relate to girly things is if there's a girl/woman we're trying to f***. So if we like something 'girly,' the only way we know how to relate to it in an acceptable way is being treating it sexually." I thought that was pretty spot on. It's ok to like something "girly" if you just think it's cool/cute/fun. But boys who like ponies are mocked and bullied. Creating a "manly" subculture makes it acceptable, but it shouldn't be necessary. It's ok to like things because they're just cute/fun.
That's just cope apologia. The fact is that young men have enormous sex drive, so anything we take large interest in and construct communities around will soon attain a sexual component. Just as it will also attain a violent component, as young men also possess enourmous death drive. Eros and Thanatos drive men.
