Even though the fandom is pretty dead. I wanted to see what a brony thread on here would look like since I’m a newbie

What does /leftypol/ think about this franchise and the online subculture it spawned? I feel like now that the little girls who made up the target audience are young adults I’ve been seeing more zoomers tell stories about how they were “traumatized” by the adult fandom and it’s becoming more in vogue to decry the whole “brony” phenomenon as “problematic”.

On the other hand though what’s the sociological explanation for millions of grown men becoming obsessed with a little girls cartoon in spite of hegemonic Western gender norms? I’ve read a lot of conflicting theories from academics and culture critics regarding this. Is it autism? Post-Irony? Or is there something about it that just makes it genuinely appealing?

Used to hate MLP TBH, mostly because it was (and really remains) absolutely NOT my thing. But I've come to be rather ambivalent towards it now, the fandom isn't as vocally retarded for one thing and frankly, after seeing the fandoms for /sug/ and other new-age /co/shit I think MLP is a hell of a lot better.

I still saw good examples of fan art, fan games and fan edits way, way more often while fanfics have the same posh pretentious horny writing style. Not to mention that if the author fucks up with a game or an artwork it sticks out like a soar thumb while with fanfics you have to go several pages in before realizing that you're reading cringe. Also, typing linguistically correct sentences (as opposed to worldbuilding and consistent writing) is easier to do than drawing accurately or editing without choppy transitions and botched music or programming without bugs and glitches so fanfics are all incredibly overcrowded with low-effort walls of text that are a torture to go through.

I mean I haven't played that many MLP fan games, but in general I've played plenty of games that fell off after being good starting off. Written media is harder to write off early tho.

fanfiction.net is a terrible website unfortunately but if you sort by number of favourites then you will roughly speaking get the better fics at the top. fimfiction is a lot better IMO because it has a upvote and downvote system, if you sort by rating it's decent

https://www.fimfiction.net/stories?order=top

though most of the fics that are most highly rated are one chapter for some reason so if you search specifically for longer fics that helps

https://www.fimfiction.net/stories?q=words%3A%3E50000&order=top

personally my most memorable fic is https://www.fimfiction.net/story/18087/the-best-night-ever
read it years ago and enjoyed it. I also read a Helluva Boss fic with the same premise a month ago and enjoyed that, not sure if they were inspired by the MLP fic or if it's just a popular fanfic trope

I don't get it, is this link you have made by a single person? From all the data and names this guy colected, only one person was arrested for pedo stuff. There should be more regulations so that "foal" stuff is not considered "normal", nor desirable, but correct me if i interpreted the data in the wrong way, just one guy was an actual pedophile. MLP is kinda dead anyway, no children watches it anymore, is just a funny cartoon show of magical horses and friendship with memes, also great mods like EAW and TNO.

Discord should not allow kids and young people in there, is not safe at all
