The worst thing I ever heard. Well ok...2nd worst thing..... (look up pony jar for first)

Was that I heard a story where a group of grown men went to the theater to see a MLP movie. When a pony had her backside on screen, one of the guys whistled and made sexual comments. And there were like 8 year old girls in ear shot and horrified parents

Yeah, there's a lot of overlap. Maybe not necessarily MAGA, however right-wing. I have 2 left-wing friends that I know of who watched the show. Neither of them got weirdly sexual about it, mocked the people who did, and just watched it for entertainment purposes.

It's only anecdotal, sure, however even online or in documentaries/interviews I haven't seen any that seemed liberal or left-wing being a degenerate brony sexualizing ponies.

It's literally a copypasta that originated before the movie even came out to theaters. To be more specific, the story goes that the entire theater was full of bronies except for a woman and her 8 year old daughter and that the bronies would make sexual comments and noises at the screen, and there would be a shot of Fluttershy from behind when the theater suddenly goes quiet and all the bronies start ejaculating at once.

Horses are a status symbol and represent virility. A handsome yet rugged man may be referred to as a wild stallion.

Also "hung like a horse" when referring to a man's penis

I'd imagine the biggest factor is that it attracted a lot of Chris-chan-like people who lack a filter and make their sexual fetishes into a personality trait. I assume most fandoms have a similar level of deviancy, but the majority keep it to their particular niche circles.

so i attend an anniversary stream that happens to be 4chan-adjacent, and that's as awful as it sounds. they consist of that rare type of desperately maga that is also out-of-touch and still say stuff like 'let's go brandon' unironically.

it actually seemed like most of them were just bots, meant to spam antisemitism and racism and things like that. because i noticed they never said anything until what seemed to be their cue and they either had anon names or very, very generic ones.

i was even modded in the thread because i pointed out how far, far away from their message that the show they latched onto is.

In the furry community, Anthro refers specifically to things with human skeletal structures. The characters from MLP are called "ferals"

It's not that hard to understand when you remember that the initial wave of bronies came from 4chan and Tumblr. As such the fandom-isms came pre-baked. In this context that would mean waifu culture, constant stream of porn/smut (4chan/Tumblr aare huge writing/drawing hubs), and flexible sexual tastes. This is also helped by an underrated factor in MLP's popularity: they're stupidity simple to draw. A ton of artists, sfw and nsfw, got their start in or got their fame from the fandom.

All things considered, how could it not?

My wild conspiracy theory is that this ties into the unhealthy way society treats men who like "cute" things.

I could go on and on about this subject, and will probably end up accidentally doing so anyway, but...there has definitely been a persistent stigma against males liking cute things. If a guy likes something that's cute, it's treated as a sign that there's something wrong with him. The one exception I've observed is that it's okay for a guy to like something cute if it's for romantic/sexual reasons. Of course, this sentiment has been dwindling, which is great, but that's still a relatively recent improvement. There are a lot of people who would have already internalized all that...including men who would've been in their teens and twenties at the height of the MLP craze.

So my wild theory is that a lot of the brony crowd are guys who got swept up in the MLP hype and had to justify their interest to themselves in the only way their subconscious allowed: by viewing the ponies in a sexual light. If they'd never been taught growing up that liking that kind of thing means they're gay which is bad, they might have been able to just enjoy cute cartoon horses for genuinely wholesome reasons.

Because of the internet . But people don't play video games for sexy women. But there are porn mods for almost every game. Like resident evil has them. And so the same thing with brownies. But you are going to remember someone crushing on a Twilight Sprinkle more than someone crushing on Jill.

It exist in every fandom, but the problem with the MLP fandom was that it was so open and acceptable.
Many users came out as transpersons and were accepted for who they were, which opened the dam for more confessions.
That said, a part of them were just assholes that made things up for lulz.

I personally believe its because the ponies are cute. A similar phenomenon is seen in Pokemon with the eeveelutions in which theyre considered attractive despite being quadruped creatures .

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/98aeaf5d.jpg

Another poll, Pokesmash, which is heavily used by streamers, is aimed at a general audience and has a sample size of over half a million, has Vaporeon, Ninetales and Sylveon beat every Pokemon in smash percent except for Gardevoir, Lopunny, Zoroark and Delphox. I see it more as in being cute washes away any shame on these characters being quadruped in shape, much like the eeveelutions the mlp ponies are heavily inspired by kawaii anime designs.

That tag list is a little misleading. A lot of those tags are still going to tagged in images of anthro Pokemon / "pokemorphs" which are just the furries based on Pokemon instead of real animals.

That is just a poll and people picking which pokemon they want to smash or pass. Likewise Pokesmash uses their in-game sprite when asking the same thing
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/18de529f.jpg
To out the above results in perspective the only Pokemon that surpass Ninetales in smash percent are Vaporeon, Lopunny, Gardevoir, Zoroark and Delphox.
