I don't get it

Ok.

I remember My Little Pony from decades ago. When I was a kid I actually once had a balloon with a character from My Little Pony on it.

It's a kid's cartoon.

Apparently, they started it up again after a long hiatus.

Now...

What's the link between My Little Pony, Donald Trump and furry porn?

with furry porn, it's simple. some of the people that watch the show think the cartoon ponies are sexy. when the movie came out, I remember hearing stories about men going to the movie and shouting out dog whistles and stuff at the movie when a character's rear was on the screen. and it weirded out parents and confused kids.

Does the show promote conservative ideas or something?

A lot of them are social outcasts and most definitely NEETs. As such, they have little grasp on reality and cling on to shit that gives them them attention they crave. Them and anime sigs/avatars. That's based entirely on CE btw.

All? No, definitely not. It's a disturbing trend though.

Lol fucking brony.

even though it was literally meant for little girls, the original MLP cartoon in the 80's was more hardcore than Friendship is Magic. my sister used to watch it and I think I remember the villains trying to kill people. and the ponies might have killed the villains in self defense to the save the world. the new show is watched by men and yet it's more childish than the classic original

There's a cartoon. There's a periphery fandom outside of its intended audience. Some members of the fandom are strange. Most just like the damn cartoon.

my little pony was released nearly a decade ago
it was actually a pretty good cartoon
grown men watched it and that made men insecure in their own masculinity who found out that GASP grown men could like something made for girl incredibly uncomfortable

that is where it should have ended but it didnt
the grown men watching it started calling themselves bronies and based their entire personality around my little pony
though it was a show about girl power and messages about friendship these people ignored or didnt understand the simple morals the show tried to teach and instead turned into sexists with a pony fetish
it got real creepy fast.

these bronies continued to not get what the show was trying to teach children and eventually started supporting trump which goes against all the values and attempts to be decent human beings the show tried to impart

Hmm... not sure I get it. Is there something special about the show or something? It just looks like a run-of-the-mill children's cartoon with little animals.

Why did those guys get obsessed with My Little Pony and not, for example Winnie the Pooh?

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is much different than what you remembered. It's a cute colorful talking horse show made by Lauren Faust, very fluid and HD animation and the characters all look great. Instead of being fat and pudgy like before, they're slim with great designs.

It legitimately started out as a joke, but people actually found it interesting and started actually watching it. I've been watching this show since February 2011 and have proudly called myself a brony since then. There's been tons of conventions, fan meetups all over the world, musicians putting out great brony themed or inspired music, artists, etc. It's basically a very happy and upbeat show, and it's been known to cure depression in lots of people.

Nope, this show has been running for the past 8 years. It's currently on season 8 with a 9th season planned to be the final season.

Because it's not colorful, happy, and generally life changing show. MLP broke social norms. Other terms though, there was a Littlest Pet Shop 2012 reboot which featured similar voice casting as MLP that some bronies latched on to. Aired on the same TV network as MLP and around the same time slot.

MLP had extremely talented voice talent like Tara Strong, Shannon Chan-Kent, Andrea Libman, Ashleigh Ball, very talented musicians like Daniel Ingram, and in the feature-length movie last year brought in special people like Sia, Michael Pena, and Emily Blunt.

Never saw the show myself but its kinda like enjoying Powerpuff Girls and buying their shirts. Nothing weird despite it being a show for girls. The producers is okay with the older male fanbase and they have raised money for charities.

And then there are some weird fans.

Like anything else in life, I think a large part of it had to do with timing.

If the internet had been around during for the original My Little Pony or She-Ra, I think we would've seen a lot of guys advocating that they were really good shows. And if the internet had been more prominent when The Lion King first came out, I think we would've seen people creating lionized avatars of themselves.
