Nope. Still a current fan and even went to a convention last year. I still wear my pony shirts weekly. Posters all around my room, plushies, still have a lot of the early IDW comics, figures, my computer wallpapers are still on a 30 minute slideshow for MLP wallpapers. I just wish I had brony friends to hang out with locally since I moved.

I wouldn't go around bringing it up to people, but I wouldn't deny it if someone else asked. I was a fan of the show for a couple of seasons, I had fun watching it and talking about it, and I wouldn't trade those good times and memories for anything.

Doesn't seem like it. My girlfriend still considers herself a part of the fandom. She likes Friendship is Magic and has been having me watch it. It's got decent lessons in it, even if some of the characters are very on the nose. Like naming the shy pony Fluttershy, and the apple farmer Applejack.

I went to a meetup once. Honestly, most of the people were chill nerds. The problem is the worst of the fandom is some of the worst among fandoms in general.

Pretty much. Extreme bronies are just as toxic as Nintendo or Sony fanboys.

it's more like every time i give an episode or two a re-watch i remember how much i liked it and why i liked it so much and i binge a handful after that.

i think it's legitimately a great show, and one that constantly kept playing around with its own animation tricks to try and get better. right up until the very end, they kept trying new things, but i think the most noticeable jump is between s4 and s5, where the backdrops went fucking ham.

I was probably somewhere in between, though closer to the casual side. Besides watching the show (not really past S3 though), I had a shitty fanfic going. Beyond that I didn't really get involved with other fandom activities.

The actions of others in a fandom don't reflect on any given individual of the fandom.

That being said, I missed that entire scene, even though I was interested. I was busy that whole year, I think.

One day he decided to change name and deleted everything from his youtube.

I loved Alex S, he was my favorite brony musician. I met him once at a convention and got a picture with him. I followed him into Andromulus, but yeah I noticed his upload of his 20 Percent Cooler remix is gone, but I have the mp3 saved. It's my favorite song from him. Also loved Melting Pot of Alcohol since he was featured on GhostCapitalist's show, Ghost was fairly popular here around 2012.

Consider reuploading, just because it sucks to lose stuff.

there's an archive channel of his stuff.

there's also the deleted pony songs youtube channel so if that remix is truly gone that's probably where to send it. i'm wondering if they'll take old versions of claire anne carr songs and the bootlegs of show songs lol

There is one right now?
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80616765

It's mostly just fanart though so of no interest for people who aren't into that.

In any case the show is fine, maybe a bit too ahead of its time honestly. 2010 was still in the girl show ghetto which would've lifted a lot after 2015.

Never was my thing but was friends with a couple Bronies in college. They were relatively normal people. Nerdy sure, but nothing weird like what you see online. Hell one of them even has a kid now and the other is married.

IMO Bronies were never as bad as Sonic fans during the DeviantArt era. The only real offensive thing about the fandom is how many of them randomly went far right during the Trump years. Like really far right too, not just regular GOP/CPC etc. voters.

The Jar...
Somebody had put a tiny mlp figure, I think it was Applejack, in a glass jar. He intended to fill the jar with his... seed... It was an ongoing project, and he posted pictures and updates on 4chan. Dont worry, it gets worse. He placed the jar in the wrong place by mistake, it got hot and the liquid started to boil.

yeah, i don't understand that
the motto of the fandom in many places were like "Love and Tolerate" or something
how do you go from that to "I just need to be dictator for one day"?

White supremacist groups prey upon people being social outsiders. They give them a group to belong to and an excuse for their personal shortcomings (the Jewish/LGBTQ/woke/liberal agenda).

It's 100% hypocritical for a group that watches a show about love and tolerance to turn to bigotry, but bigoted groups have a knack for picking up individuals without a positive social network in their life.

But the fandom was extremely LGBTQ friendly which makes it even stranger
