Ugh, Bronies were THIS close to being memory-holed!
Kinda feel bad for both the developers and the young kids the show should have been for because some dipshits wanted to turn the whole fandom into an ironic meme
Can confirm as someone who was the intended target audience that grown ass men made it nearly impossible to search for anything mlp related without being bombarded with shit a kid shouldn’t see.

This was a vanishingly small number of “bronies”. Most of them were people who were nostalgic for a show with writing in the style of Cartoon Network’s golden age, and who really liked watching a show that was earnest in an era when every single tv show and movie was extremely ironic.

Wasn’t this during the early 2010s? I seem to remember plenty of sincerity in tv and movies.
It’s worse now, but I at least remember having this general feeling at the time /shrug
For me, one thing it was was an antidote to a sort of South Park caring-about-things-is-for-losers outlook
