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.
"If the minor is mature enough." Has to be one of the most unhinged things I've ever heard.
I just started the video, I feel like it'll get worse than that
@@BertMagurt I couldn't stop laughing at the Nazi section of the video.
Sadly enough I had to deal with stuff like that.
Ayo???
Child love will only become more and more normalized. Everyone standing up to the degeneracy is actually being canceled and treated as if THEY'RE the problem rather than you know... The BLATANTLY CLEAR DEGENERATES TRYING TO NORMALIZE PURE FILTH.... Shows that the world elite are openly allowing and help spreading this filth.... This is litteraly how the Roman empire began to crumble...
Hearing a 24year old tell a 14year old "you have the curves" made me violently angry.

It is an excuse but I love your rebuttal! It’s so true
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.
@@flarestriker2005 disney adults are creepy in their own right too. Probably not to this degree tho
I was a little girl who was OBSESSED with mlp. I had a “ponysona” that I made, I had all sorts of merch and me and my friend watched it religiously. Thank god my parents didn’t let me have the internet at that age
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’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 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.

“If the minor is mature enough” is one of the most fucked up excuses
They're not old enough. Thats why they're called a minor.
All the little wet noises from their mouth and the pauses creeped me out
Hear me out
I heard that and I was like "yep you're a pedophile"
Minor is mature is crazy
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
The joke about vaush in the intro aged well
That image of Adolph Hitler being forgiven by a cartoon horse is the funniest goddamn thing I've seen all week.

@@ericp0012 Oh you would absolutely HATE Steven Universe then
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

@@hexcode7707 holy shit
This is rough. Any time I hear the word 'brony' a part of me dies inside. I was part of that community, I enjoyed the show, but, and I mean this to my core, I just found it wholesome. I'm a guy, I was in a dark place in my teenage years, depressive as hell and mildly suicidal. I wasn't positive about literally anything, but that show, for whatever reason resonated with my angsty teenage heart, and got me through, for a while at least.
I know the less savory side of it too, but honestly I think it did more good than bad for me at least. I am sorry to all the little girls that were creeped out by neckbeards exaggerated enthusaism, or being just far too extra in general.
It hurts though, because I know its true that the fandom that followed the show in general was... not always the greatest. But genuine passion did come from it too. So many fan games, stories, and genuinely good art was produced, If you want proof that Brony's can be passionate about their work, look no further than the Hearts of Iron IV mod "Equestria At War" a total conversion mod that replaces EVERYTHING with pony stuff. And its so well done that even people who aren't involved in the community enjoy it. Hell, of my best mates absolutely despises anything to do with MLP, but he PREFERS to play with the Equestria at War mod because of how much attention to detail and effort is in it, but I digress.
Much the same as any loud fandom, the bad seems to just outweigh the good, and that is why hearing this hurts. Because on some level, I know it is true. I know that a lot of creepy guys acted inappropriately. I know that much p*rn was drawn of technicolor ponies. I'd still like to think that overall... it was good. But I seem to be in the minority of that, and I can't exactly blame you all for thinking otherwise.
I apologize for the bad actors among us. I can say at the very least I didn't traumatize any children... I kept my interest in a children's TV show largely to myself, because I thought that a guy watching a show like that was shameful.
tl;dr Former Brony just wants to say... sorry for the worst of the fandom.
"I can say at the very least I didn't traumatize any children"
truly a heroic statement coming from a brony
Same, the show itself was pretty good, although I only watch up to S4 before losing interest, I definitely saw the appeal. Especially in Season 4 as that’s when the creators were fully aware of it unintended demographics, and begun adding Easter eggs and references into the episodes.
However, the community was a real mixed bag which I rather not have been associated with. The community had that “This-person-is-mentally-challenged” vibe in anything they’d do. Whether it was art, something wholesome or simply discussing an episode and I didn’t want to be associated with that any further. Which the darker side of the community definitely wasn’t doing any favors for them.
I was in that crowd the first season, maybe into the second. It wasn't just online, I had coworkers who were also into it. Many furries also crossed over but furries have their own dark side.
I have a few figures and other remnants from that era. But I'm glad I didn't take it too seriously.
My best friend became a brony and did very unsavory role plays..... On Skype in group chats that I accidentally walked in on several times.
But to his credit, I knew everyone in the group he role played with and they were all adults lol. I had literally met most of them in person and the ones I hadn't met in person I had video called with. They were all very clearly adults.
You’re weird dude
I feel less so embarrassed for liking the show and more so humiliated for having to be associated with certain members and part of the fandom
Real bro I’m afraid of continuing liking mlp cus I grew up with the show since it aired and I rewatch it every now and then since it took up most of my childhood I don’t want ppl to see me as the gross side of this fandom
Don't be afraid to like this show just cause some assholes ruined it. None of this is any of your fault.
@@LepphicNothing wrong with liking mlp. And no, liking it won't mean that you're part of the fandom.
You should be
Same I feel really embarrassed when discussing it with friends sometimes becuase people immediately think of the horrible side of the fandom.
Having been in this Fandom as a child (and having been scarred for life) I literally cannot wait to hear what this man uncovers.

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.

@@ilikemario295 you mean at least she didn’t go
I met a couple bronies before and they are honestly some pretty nice people, they know about this and hate talking about this cause it gives them a bad rap they feel. Remember not everyone in the community is bad.

these degen essays never fail to make my skin crawl. and you don't even over dramatize it, literally just tell the story clean and simple but that's more than enough
God, especially when he reads previously private dms.
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.

As a male I used to watch the show in high school due to how adorable the characters are but very quickly stopped watching after discovering how absolutely disgusting the adult community was. Absolutely vile.
My younger sister who is mentally disabled and 16 years old at the time had an online relationship with a 24 year old brony/furry. Relationship lasted 6 months before my parents found out. When he came to visit he should be glad he could run faster than my father...
24 year old’s lucky it wasn’t my dad - he’d have been shot.
Good to note though that since your sister is mentally ill the rules are diferent.
But still, the biological criteria for consensual sex shouldnt be 18
@@tacioob2337 I don’t think there should be different rules for a mentally disabled person. My mentally disabled ex-best friend started dating a 14 year old when she was 20. She also heavily sexualized child anime characters. Mental illness isn’t an excuse to sweep things under the rug, ESPECIALLY pedophilia. There’s never an okay excuse for that.
The only pedophiles I have even an inkling of sympathy for are the ones that were groomed to be that way by childhood sexual exploitation themselves, which makes up roughly about 40% of convicted pedophiles. But even then I have trouble being sympathetic to them, as they know first hand the harm they’re putting children through. So, sympathy gone.
As a society, we CAN’T let the mentally ill or disabled get away with atrocities. I saw a story of a boy with Down Syndrome who repeatedly groped and assaulted a specific female waitress. People let it happen because of his handicap, leading to what I’m sure is trauma and resentment in that woman. Disabled people are part of the world, and while I think there should be more measures taken to understanding and helping the mentally and physically disabled, it helps NO ONE to let them figuratively get away with murder.
@@HavianEla you cant convict guilty someone who is mentally disabled.
Is just plain out stupid, they dont know what they are doing whatsoever, sometimes they act like savage animals.
But i was talking about other thing, the age of consent should be 14 and higher, with a exception of mentally ill people because they cannot consent.
We cant think that the criminal justice should be putting people in jail for consensual sex, when they clearly can consent.
Below 14-15 years or so is a matter of protecting the pre puberty and the mental state of the child that cannot consent.
But convicting a person for consensual sex with a adolescent? Is just plain stupid, i do think the justice should intervene with protective measures, but jail is just stupid.
@@HavianElagood comment
I always hate it when people say "I was in a dark place & or I have this mental health issue so that means I wasn't in the right mindspace ! " because there are millions of people out there who deal with the same stuff but you're not gonna see them hurt other people or heaven forbid children or animals.
There is absolutely no excuse at all for doing that kind of stuff
Using it to explain your actions is one thing, but if you say it, then it should immediately be followed up with “but that doesn’t excuse what I did.” Then take responsibility. Explaining your mental state is great, but like you said it doesn’t give you a free pass.
@@Spiney09 literally. The amount of times I’ve seen people go “I was depressed and suicidal” or something like that in response to why they hurt someone is baffling. Yeah maybe you were feeling that way but that’s no excuse or reason to do what you did. If you do something wrong take accountability, find the source of that problem and do something about it.
@@Spiney09 Yea I agree
As someone with mental health issues, I can agree that thats bullshit, just because you have mental health issues doesn’t make it right to commit pedophilia, grooming and bullying, and most people with mental health issues don’t do that shit, they’re completely missing the point of mental health issues and it sickens me that people use this real problem that people to have to excuse their crimes
Wow that is truly a deeply thought out controversial statement you are so brave where should we send the metal we have for you, its for the bravest person in the world

Gen 4 mlp will always have a special place in my heart since its what got me into art, as well as the fact its what lead me to meet one of my best friends. Though I was unfortunately to be a kid around the time and to come across some of the weird shit in the fandom.
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.

@@colbaltmind5696 But animated ponies? Of all things?
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.

I went to 2 mlp conventions when I was around 11-13
I saw maybe a few kids, it was ALL adults. Very mainly, men. It was very much advertised as a childrens-young teens convention. There was a few times where me and my friend were talking about the show, and random middle aged dudes would butt in with their input, sometimes even starting arguments. Seriously insane, I stopped going after I got into highschool since I felt I was too old now, although the main demographic there ranged from their late 20's-40's.
Being into a show made for single-digit aged girls as a grown man is weird af no matter which way you try to spin it. Its weird and those dudes are weird

Good comment, didn't notice that.

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.

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?
I was a little girl during the start of the series and was a huge fan. I would come across horribly inappropriate pictures and videos when I look up my fav characters names. It was a rough and traumatic time
I started watching as a little kid and I still have a fondness for it as an adult. It's sad there are messed up fans as well who ruin it for others, but it's inevitable with any community tbh. I met some bad apples in the community, but I also met many kind people through it.
it saddens me that an innocent community full of children and adolescents was invaded by adults with horrible motives. thank you for shedding more light on this topic.

Never go too deep in a fandom. You are only hurting yourself.

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.
These bronies make me embarrassed to admit that I even have nostalgia for the show from back when I watched it as an appropriately-aged young girl.
"Clopping it" and having "horsefame" is fucking wild
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...
When I was a little girl I went onto mlp amino and got groomed :,-)
Last Summer I’ve started enjoying the show. I wanted to like the show when I was a little kid but ofc people within the fandom at that time who were mentioned in this video and those who targets of being made fun of by others made me stay away from it. But now I’m apart of that community today.
i look back fondly on that fandom, despite having left it around the middle of S6. it was fun to get excited about the new episode coming out then watching the fandom sites to see what sticks and what gets the most attention. it was always interesting to see which side characters became the fandoms seasonal waifu until someone new replaced them as well. we had our share of shitbags and degenerates in the fandom, but alot of us just appreciated the show for what it was and not what the fandom made it into.
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.

@@mariohcf7550 haha that’s the spirit
Here’s my journey with these online creeps:
So I was 12-14 back when the creepypasta stuff kicked off….and I was (cringefully, if that’s a word) in it because I loved horror, on deviantart, a gamer and “goth” and an awkward middle schooler…..needless to say, there were creepy people online playing into these characters and targeted me A LOT. A lot of it was ppl saying “I don’t believe you’re a REAL GIRL, prove it by sending pics” so me being self conscious and had a bad self esteem…I did. It was never anything sexual though. Then, it eventually was…because stupid then me belived they’d “find where I live, harm my family” etc……
Now as a grown mature woman, I understand this wasn’t my fault, it WAS my fault for not hitting the “block button” sooner enough than later. I truly didn’t understand the harm the internet can truly do to you, and I’ve seen and been exposed to god awful things…and my parents “parenting” was shitty, meaning they didn’t care, they were both druggies and alcoholic, so I turned to other places for some sort of friendship. What I got was mental manipulation and more abuse.
Don’t trust anyone on the internet…..ever. I don’t even understand how some parents just let their kids be online roaming free with no guidance, at any age. I’d say as especially as the early years growing up, that is ESSENTIAL. I KNOW your teens will want privacy, and that’s ok, but know YOU are the parent, the one that’s supposed to protect them no matter the cost.sometimes I wish my parents DID take my electronics away, or suspended the internet….it would’ve saved me a lot of trouble fr 🙏🏻💝stay safe everyone, Godspeed.
Never think that this is your fault, it is those people's fault for taking advantage of your vulnerable mental state
@@MonsieurBananaTheBetter I know, but it’s so hard to repel feelings knowing I somehow should’ve known better too 😓 it is messed up though, very……..
I had a similar experience growing up, and I 100% regret ever having access to the internet as a kid... Like yes, I've learned a lot of valuable lessons, but still... You should NOT have to learn some things the hard way! As much as I recognise this stuff wasn't my fault, I still feel super guilty lol. Stay safe, everyone!
The "intervention" of sorts, at 15:05 is genuinely one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard. So many dorks in one place, and at least one of them is a teen-predator. 😂😂😂

They came across it as a joke. A bunch of people on 4chan got together to watch the premier and make fun of it together online.
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"
What a terrible thing those fools created.
This is definitely the correct original background for it's rise in popularity online originally but spread like wildfire to adjacent groups that had friends who were "window watchers" of 4chan
You mean Jenny Nicholson? Yeah, her videos are great, she should be more well known because she’s made some of the most well thought out and funniest dissertations I’ve ever seen

“If the minor is mature enough” 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
Any time someone talks about a minor being mature, I get very scared for some reason as for what is to come next.
I physically balked when that comment came outta nowhere.
Isn't that contradictory, like a minor is a person who is t fully matured yet, but he's calling the minor....mature?
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
to every other little girl who was shunned from my little pony spaces, exposed to disturbing material under the guise of being safe for work my little pony content, even groomed in my little pony roleplay spaces, im so incredibly sorry. i used to love this show until i was allowed freedom on the internet. now just seeing it makes me feel sick. ill always support you, to anyone who was hurt by crazy fandoms.
At least you repent your hedonism and say you're sorry for it. A rare thing for bronies.
@Casimir III bro what hedonism I was 10

Considering all the recent Drama, this moment [3:52] genuinely made me spit milk
What do you mean
That was the Kharkov kid finder a man that saved many young boys who were lost and in need of guidance during the shelling there
I used to be somewhat known in the brony fandom as a voice actor. I cosplayed as the character I voiced for fan projects, and went to a con hoping to have a fun time. Instead, I was groped by bronies no fewer than three times over two days. I never cosplayed that character ever again, and quietly exited the fandom.
I'm so sorry that happened to you! ❤️The problem is those ponies are little girls in all but name. They act like little girls, they speak like little girls, they have problems that little girls care about, they dress like little girls. Those ponies ARE MEANT TO BE LITTLE GIRLS. So it's clear that the grown men obsessed with them are obsessed in a segguxal way. If this was a show about actual little girls everyone would be able to see it for what it was but because it's ponies it gives these creeps plausible deniability. And they can claim oh they just like the show when they actually like little girls but know better than to openly say that. It's a magnet for pe d os
I'm sorry it happened to you.
A fandom like that is full of people that can't control themselves and have zero awareness.
I hope you are okay
Lmao what did you expect being a girl and going to conventions full of autist sexually frustrated man children
@@WhitneyDahlin I agree but disagree. Your point works for this show, but not all shows about kids are sexual in nature, nor is liking them. Madoka magicka is quite literally about little girls, but it's not sexualized and is aimed at teens/young adults demographic wise; and is way too dark for kids. I think it's more that MLP attracts furries than regular pedos, and most open-IRL furries are just really degenerate. Most of them are down with underage stuff, bestiality, etc.
Hope you're okay. Things would never happen if grown-up find some hobbies of their own gender than infiltrating a cartoon fanbase that is meant for young girls. Freaking creeps
I genuinely struggle to understand this fandom. I'm 36 years old, my daughter who is 4 loves the show. Sometimes if she's watching and I'm otherwise bored I'll watch a couple episodes with her. Like its a cool show, with really likeable characters and mostly on point feel good messaging. I actually rather like the show -- to a point. At the end of the day its a kid's cartoon and after about two episodes , the fact that its target demographic is not me quickly manifests itself and I start getting bored watching it with her. Like I can understand a grown man liking this show, perhaps really liking it. I still really like old school Rugrats and Doug episodes from my own childhood for instance, but to get this deep -- especially to develop a sexual perversion around it I really really don't get.
** Edit 04JUL23 **
As I stated in a long winded reply below:
- There is nothing intrinsically wrong with an adult liking a show who's target audience is children (I even gave examples above)
- No.. A fandom is not dictated by its worst members, however its worst members are often the most vocal and the de facto face of the community. I contend that unlike other fandoms around kids shows, the MIL fandom does a very very poor job ostracizing its creeps.
- As adults, its our responsibility if we like shows like this and feel inclined to seek out other people who do, to modify our behavior online and off to be age appropriate for that communities target audience. I myself run DND games as a hobby usually for adults, but on the occasions I knew I would have minors at the table, I ensured the session was age appropriate for them (both from myself and other adult players)
- Generally speaking however, I feel that obsessing over one fandom or another as an adult is indicative of deeper problems. Its unhealthy in my opinion for anyone, especially an adult to have aspects of their identity tied up in these fandoms.
You put this perfectly. I’m the same way-I don’t understand how a grown adult male could obsess over a show aimed at little girls
i used to adore the show when i was growing up, to the point of obsession, but even then i still never understood how grown men were obsessed to the same or an even higher degree than me. The show is super engaging and well written for children, and pretty engaging and wholesome for adults, but for your enjoyment to twist it into such a disgusting place is a different level of perversion.
You see, some people are born this way. They're natural freaks.
Well about the sexual thing if you mean the massive amount of porn about it well that is kind of inevitable, the exact same happens with basically any moderatly known cartoon and Anime. Like Hey Arnold, Amphibia, Steven Univers, Etc.
About that trash guy who groomed kids, well the fandom is very big so some horrible people being in it is practically inevitable and the fact many children are also fan does increas the risk. But I am not sure what can be done about that. The Cartoon Fandoms are mostly online, so people could live in diferent cities, countries or even continents. So you really can't do anything to stop someone from doing something terrible when you are 2000 km away from them. And since is mostly online is very difficult to know something like that is happening at the beggining, until messages and chats are liked. I think the only thing you can do is complety denounce the ones who do that with no apologies and just hope the police do their job.
@@Justme-rt4gj what's wrong with grooming kids? you want them to grow up not knowing how to practice good hygiene and dress themselves? I'll you what Buster "Bucko" Brown, I don't work two jobs slaving over a hot kitchen in the every day oven to raise a slovenly, unkempt hooligan what don't know how to dress themselves or properly clean their genitals for penis inspection day at middle school.

im not funny. please end me.
As an animator in the brony space back in the fandom's most popular days, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the community. Thankfully I wasn't exposed to much of the darkness that many people see in the brony community, it was just a lot of collaborating with others on art and animation projects.
Sad to see these things happen. Humanity is awful.
I watched My Little Pony when I was younger, around the time that bronies became popular. Even with unrestricted internet access, I never came across that kind of stuff. But it‘s crazy to think that it would‘ve been so easy for me to find it, considering I LOVED that show and bronies were at their peak popularity.

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.

Very good show learned many useful stuff that actually worked and i made a few friends in school
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.

I was a little girl when MLP was popular and i loved it but had no idea about the fact that “bronies” were a thing until I was probably around 12 or so years later, and I’m honestly so thankful for that
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.

Ill admit... i considerd myself a brony when i was like 12 or so... funniest part is, I had never even watched the show (still haven't). But I remember coming upon some MLP Creepypastas, and given I loved Creepypastas at the time, I listened to them all...slowly the content just turned into MLP videos and I found that I enjoyed the creators (be it music, art, or discussion of the show).

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, CZcams 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 😂
