Great, just make it end.

I wonder what's going to become the next big fandom. Imagine a massive community centered around pogs or Alf? What a future to aspire to.
How is this different than the Startrek fandom or the Starwars fandom or the anime fandom?

The politics catered to, for starters.

MLP and anime catering to right wing sensibilities, and Star Wars to leftwing, ect...

I'll answer back when I bring it up to the Brony who asserted it and get an answer back from him.

Ugh *bangs head on desk*


You do realize if your looking for something you can always find it. You say star wars is left wing? Lets examine that though the lense of someone looking for rightwing ideology from it. We have the big evil empire and its big and evil, but we know its really efficient since they manage to build not one but two planet sized starbases so it must have a very strong economy which could have only been achieved through conservative methods. In fact we could view the rebellion as right wing since they obviously support less government so maybe the empire is left wing and our plucky band of heroes are really fighting to get rid of free health care. Then again, look at religion and faith in starwars. It is never questioned except by Han Solo early on and after that its established as being real and anyone who questions it is shown as wrong or outright killed.

I am interested in this so much. I remember the brony fandom through me off guard but I took it in stride. But internet holy hell no one came out looking good in those discussion man. I wish I could montenize the reddits comments making neckbeard, autism and soft pedo jokes I could pay off my loans and give a certain state and actual budget.

I look forward to this movie I respect this show going above and beyond the call of duty, creating a fanbase that really challenged and stirred our ideas of gender based entertainment. I am not sure if I am going to see it but it turned Taye Diggs into a feline furry so I can not give it anything but respect and hope for the best.

Milo made a pretty good case for it. Want the article?
Ugh, no, I don't care. My whole point is that you can read anything into any kind of media. Hell, if I cherry picked I could make a convincing argument for fox news being left wing.

You should probably stop saying things like so and so is left or right wing without being able to ague those points for yourself. Cause especially with MLP, you really sound like your just parroting misinformation.

The other Brony got back to me.

Technically, Equestria is inherently 100% right-wing, as it's a monarchy with a homogenous society content with their government.
There would not exist a "left" in Equestria unless they rebelled against Celestia
As for the changelings, they weren't allowed to be a part of Equestria until they integrated. They had to radically change unacceptable parts of their culture.
And what powered the Crystal Heart wasn't just tradition, that is true, but it is love.
Love for their nation, IE Nationalism.

Now, keep in mind, when I say "nationalism" I'm refering more to civic nationalism, and not ethnic nationalism

And I was joking about the gay marriage, but not about the polygamy.
The stallions of Equestria have a fuck ton of threesomes to make up for the fact they have too many mares.

This is a completely retarded proxy argument.

Its not a homogeneous society. Before Equestira was united each tribe, earth ponies, unicorns and pegasus had their own kingdom. All of those began to fail till they unified and were able to work together, they made a stronger society through teamwork and unity. And if you have a really good government then you don't need to replace it, the best government is a benevolent dictatorship, its just one of those things thats impossible in the real world.
The radical changing of changling society was from them finding another food source that wasn't the love of ponies. Which by the way, we don't know the long term effects of, for all we know a changeling devouring too much love will kill the pony, it kinda did in the comic.
It wasn't nationalism, that freed the crystal ponies. It was the magical mcguffin and the concept of love. Here is the scene when it happens, nothing about nationalism or any of that bullshit.

Seriously, come up with your own arguments, don't just parrot his shit, its annoying and as I said before. Makes it sound like you have no idea what you're talking about.

Actually, I quit watching MLP mainly because I couldn't stand the Fascist themes anymore. The world is ruled by a race of uberpony alicorns, and nopony who isn't of that race is allowed to be in the ruling class.



Children are taught that there are certain elite few who are chosen to rule and do the important work, like crushing the forces of "evil." I wouldn't let my kids watch a show with such insidious themes hidden just below the surface.

ITT Analysis of ethnonationalist cryptopropaganda in a children's cartoon about pastel colored horses.

Guess there was more to that /mlpol/ incident then we thought...

OT: I stopped following the show after season 2, but the animation in trailer looks nice. Dunno what the complaints are about.

Ignore him, hes parroting something really stupid he read and for some reason believes. I mean he also said anime was right wing, like it is a single thing, its like saying movies are right wing. Its a stupid statement.

mlpol incident?

The complaints might have to do with the change in art style, but more likely most of them are from the dying remnants of the anti-bronys.

They're a thing?

I mean, there was this guy on a forum years ago who yearned for (far as I can tell, unironically) the days when "bronies knew their place," but I've never been aware of any kind of concentrated anti-MLP movement.

Fox News had a field day pointing and laughing at "dem weird bronies" back in the early days, ranging from bemusement to hate-filled spite:
...Which makes Smithnikov's assertions that the show is right-wing propaganda all the more puzzling.

And yes, there were some anti-brony "groups" online, but their activities were mostly relegated to comment sections, making them relatively easy to ignore. You still get the occasional "lel bronies are cucks/autists" comment on YouTube and the like, but interest has died down as the show has became increasingly well-established in pop culture.

As far as personal experiences go, there was one negative incident four or five years ago where a couple of frat boys called me a fag for browsing the MLP merch at the local Hot Topic (I just smiled and shrugged, whereupon they realized they weren't going to get the reaction they wanted and moved on). I've also had a few positive ones as well, with curious cashiers asking me about my MLP shirts or arm bands that I sometimes wear. Generally though, it's been my experience that most people don't give a rat's ass in meatspace...or if they do, they keep it to themselves. Folks tend to be more courteous when interacting face to face.

I'm not sure if how much of an organized movement there was, but there sure as hell were anti-bronies. When the mlp fandom started to become big you couldn't even have a thread about mlp on almost any forum without more than a few people posting how bronies were cancer or something and commonly posting gore pics. It's pretty much died off, but you will still occasionally find a few, now usually only on youtube. I have seen some bitching about the trailer for the movie.
