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.
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...
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.
@@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.
@@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 a minor is mature enough to realize they get too angry in video games, they would have a lot more respect" That's the best way to put this sentence into something normal.
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.
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
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
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 😀
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.
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.
@@flarestorm9417 People are more willing to forgive the murderers of children than this, and I have to say, its because people's concept of morality is fucked. What did he call it, the moral delicacy? - of being able to inflict maximum torment while feeling justified. Plow a truck into a crowd of people, but don't touch the kids, otherwise we're going to look the other way while gangsters murder you as an initiation ritual.
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.
I love how even when they're grilling each other for grooming kids, it still sounds like dialogue from a really shit fanfic "THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS, ZACH."
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.
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. Like no one ever gets bullied for liking scooby doo or something. It's just kinda dumb
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.
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...
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.
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.
@@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. Unfortunate that there always seems to be enough troublemakers who give the whole group a bad reputation... it's why humanity can't have nice things that someone doesn't spoil.
Thank you for being a good dad and paying attention to what your kid was consuming. I mean this sincerely. So many parents just do not care. It's nice to know that some still do. Good job dad.
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.
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
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
I was a big fan of their community back in about 2016 and a lot of their fanbase (from what I saw) was younger or adults on the spectrum. I can only imagine how much worse it would have been if they didn't. The whole incident saw many people step away from them as a whole though.
"You see, in a different time and/or in a different country with different standards this would be completely legal." Because that's totally how the legal system works.
That’s crazy I watched mlp when I was 2-4 years old mainly because I was part of the 2010s kid phase also my next door neighbors had pony merch and I was like cool and we did everything together I was a younger kid than them they look to be my age but taller and I would always watch MLP because they had Hub (now it’s called Discovery Kids) I wasn’t a brony officially but I was just watching them for my toddler entertainment I miss the early 2010s it was the best time to be a kid now look at these early 2020s kids
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.
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.
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.
@@davidcook680 Mikhail Kalashnikov died regretting creating the weapon that bears his name, despite the awards and wealth it afforded him. Money does not equate to happiness.
This shit is why I don't engage in online fandoms and communities. As an AFAB brony and a scaly, these communities harbor and at times encourage some horrifically creepy and disgusting shit. I just want to enjoy the wholesome lessons, bright colors and good music. I don't want to see porn of literal animals and characters I associate with my childhood.
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
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

Imagine being the creator of a show w this sort of degeneracy connected to it. Like ur blood, sweat and tears are poured into something that people “clop” to, an artist’s worst nightmare
@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
Isn't even in the bible, though Saint Bernard did say "Hell is full of good wishes and desires." I was always told "Hell is full of good meanings, but Heaven is full of good works."
I think I was about 12 when I started watching the show, because I was a young girl who really liked animals and all things sparkly. I remember really getting into the Fandom till I was probably 14 or so and getting relentlessly bullied by older men online just because I didn't know extensive lore and shit lol. I just enjoyed a wholesome show and wanted to draw a ponysona
@@unpopularopinions7407 according to people who are entitled and will hound you then yes I suppose If there wasn’t lore that the author established than I don’t care for it plain and simple
@Unpopular Opinions technically yes I suppose? More like there were comics and stuff about the series that was a little less mainstream and a lot more fan content than anything. As an adult, I'll still watch it with my little sister if I've had a particularly hard day and need something that is just lighthearted but eh
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
@@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 remember being made fun of by men on the internet and being told I wasnt allowed to watch it because I wasnt old enough to be a Brony, I was around 11 when I joined the fandom
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"
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
For a show with talking horses spreading friendship the fandom sure like making stories about gore and characters killing each other and turning them into cupcakes.
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
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.
I know you likely didn’t have time, but since you mentioned Lily Orchard, I wouldn’t mind a video delving into the absolute rabbit hole that is her internet presence.
His. Biology cannot be changed. Meanwhile you're shaming and shunning actual women by acknowledging his cosplay and every changing goalposts designed to absorb more and more power, no different than the brony creeps keeping little girls out of a space designed for them. Yes, the parallels are strong. If you side with the T you are literally no different than the neutral bronies that allowed all this to happen. (Brony cons and pride parades are very similar.)
The guy in the 4chan thread saying “This is going to have so much porn” and guy under him denying it is the funniest shit. I can hear the Morgan freeman voiceover now. “It was very different”.
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.
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.
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?

@@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.

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.
If there's anything I learned from any franchise targeted towards younger people, you always going to have predators that are influencers in said franchises.
Also I like how dramatic these skype calls are. Imagine being judged for pedophilia by a bunch of low voiced guys with cute avatars. Thanks for the likes. I aint defending the dude, I just cant stop cringing from the fact. Like, why do you even public this on the internet in the first place?!
I was a brony when i was around 13-14, and got sexually harassed online by older men constantly to the point where I had to disengage from the fandom because it was just TOO much. I met lots of great people I still talk to during that time, as well, but man, being harassed like that really soured me to bronies in general.
As a former brony and man, I hate the fact this happen to you. I would have quit the fandom too. The whole reason I got into was how innocent, fun, cute and memey it was. I'm so sorry
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
@@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
As a mother, I don't understand how people just leave their kids unsupervised on the internet and don't look into their interests. I had to explain to a friend what her 18-year-old son being a brony was. She found crazy stuff on his computer when she finally looked .
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.
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
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, TH-cam 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.
Yeah, mandopony was a rough story for me to find out. Loved his music as a kid. Im seriously glad that I never did get to go to cons and had no social media, it protected me from possible creeps everywhere irl and online. Ive said before, pedos go where the kids are, thats why they're so attracted to kids shows or games. I didnt even find out about a lot of these kinds of cases until years after I just naturally grew out of their content.
Actually Lauren originally came to Hasbro to pitch her "original" idea called "Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls" to them "Okay, there's these girls with big head and eyes who have powers and fight evil and..." "The Powerpuff Girls, didn't your husband create that!" "No, nothing like that...and they each represent a different planet and... "That sure sounds like Sailor Moon!" "and it'll be these dolls and..." "Hey, those look at lot like those Lalaloopsys our competitor just came up with!" "or that doll from that movie Coraline!" "Well, than what do you think I should do" "Wanna help us reboot My Little Pony" "Okay!" If you think Bronies were bad, you should check out The Loud House fandom.
The fact that she made (what is pretty much agreed to be) a masterpiece out of this profit-chasing commission, after her own idea was scrapped, shows quite the dedication on her end. Also, having been on DeviantArt quite often recently, I've seen both TLH fans and haters of the wildest varieties.
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. Really lucky that no predators found me.
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 When I was 14-15 years old, I read stories about femdom on barebones websites that involved boys my age and adult women. There weren't any chat or other communications features, and I was fortunate no predators could reach me because of that.
what didn't help was the adults gatekeeping the entire thing. when it's clearly made for kids. it's a shame what it did to our youth. and I am upset that no one stepped up to stop it before it got worse.
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.
wouldn't say it destroyed the fandom, it's not like every single adult who watched the show was weird, they added a lot to the community. sure there where a few bad actors in the community, but other than that i would say it thrived.
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions,Zach. These people are your family. They helped you through so much and you took a giant shit on them.” Had me laughing for a solid 5 minutes straight
16:45 i understand how controversial the brony community is and how infamous they are for being creepy, but i appreciate the members that seem to genuinely care about protecting young girls from their fellow bronies. mad respect for the normal ones
sad part is I met actual bronies and most of them alrdy had their own families and lives. The problem is that Furries came in and overtook what was wholesome and destroyed it. Bronies got a bad rep because the Furries were tainting it (as they tend to taint ANYTHING with animals. See Disney characters!)
The show wasn't made just for girls, and Faust was smart enough to make sure there was appeal for adults, since there would be a lot of parents or other adult guardians watching. That being said, 99% of bronies abhor the monsters highlighted in this video.
I watched it a few episodes when I'd babysit my nieces, but I never really saw the appeal that bronies apparently did. The only thing I remember from that show was everyone forgetting the pink one's birthday, and she lost her fucking mind, went cross-eyed, and started talking to potatoes lol
I actually got exposed to this show because of babysitting, and ended up genuinely enjoying the show with my niece. It was a well written show with lovable characters, at least the parts I saw.
@@tuggleworm2690all he said was the show was enjoyable lmao. Never said he was a Brony, just pointed out how he can see it’s possible to be interested based on what he saw
@igotsauce Why? There's a big difference between stories written *primarily* for children and stories written *only* for children. It's well-written, funny, and has good characters and an interesting setting. Like... you know employed adults are the ones that create cartoons, right? People who love writing good stories and creating rounded characters and building fun worlds. Heck, I wanna work on cartoons as a career and I hope I get to be part of a crew that loves its work so much. And... like, so what if it was directed at girls? Why is it that nobody bats an eye when shows directed at boy audiences attract girl viewers, but not the other way around? Adults aside, plenty of young boys watched MLP. Heck, one of them got his own character put in an episode thanks to the Make-A-Wish foundation.
@@tuggleworm2690 That's not the kind of person who needs help. It's those who became obsessed and those who felt it was okay to bully children and sexualize everything.

@@mechanwhal6590 Exactly. I just imagine sitting in your first class, on the first day of school and just spontaneously bursting into explosive diarrhea in your pants.
I'm really glad that one of the shows that brightened up my childhood, and kinda stuck around as something to watch every now and then to cheer me up, fueled one of the most depraved and unhinged fandoms in existence.
As a 27 year old woman, I genuinely enjoy the show. I watched it before I had my kids. Since it first aired. It’s very nostalgic. It’s very wholesome, with a surprisingly good plot. But I’ve always enjoyed cartoons, of all sorts. However. I can’t openly enjoy it because of people like this. The extreme fan base makes me feel shame for enjoying the show. I do not and have not ever associated myself with all that mess.
i feel so bad that the mlp fandom turned out the way it did when it first aired. You seem like a nice person, and i wish mlp could’ve had the same affect bluey had on all age groups in 2022, but i guess the same thing happened with both shows, just one became incredibly gross
Fun fact, the first ever “porn” I came across as a kid was my little pony. I sat there in an after school “school” sitting on a beanie bag next to a bunch of other 14 year olds and stared in disbelief on what I had accidentally stumbled on. Other kids came to look and we had a joke and a laugh and I put the video to rest forever. Also, I think I stumbled upon it because I was searching up a female character that I really like in this one game I played as a kid. She was not exactly PG-13 friendly.
Me too! I was pretty young. Under 10, and my brother was watching something. I wanted to know what it was so I went up behind him and it was rainbow dash getting... Y'know. Changed my perspective on life forever.
what some bronies did are actually horrifying, but i don’t think the weird and creepy people in the fandom can define the whole fandom. i love mlp and im part of the fandom even though im a 17 year old girl, but i love the show because i watched it as a kid and it brings back nostalgia and the show really makes my mood better when i watch it. the fan made animations and stories are also very interesting to me and i can tell how much hard work was put into them. there are some really great people that make mlp related content and i hate that we (normal bronies) are sometimes grouped with the creepy ones. especially when people judge me for liking the show just because of weird things other people that like the show have done.
I was a huge fan of mlp when I was 6-10 yrs old and had hundreds of those blind bag figures you’d get from Walmart. Ofc I looked up mlp stuff on TH-cam, and occasionally I’d find some gorey disturbing animation featuring the ponies and would get extremely uncomfortable and upset. Fortunately I didn’t see much of the sexual side of the fandom, but it still scarred me for life watching cupcakes for the first time.
I was in college at UNL in Nebraska, my best friend had a brony as a roommate. He drew pony’s on their hallway whiteboard everyday… it was annoying but my buddy ignored it. Then he walked into dude jerking it to the show. Buddy filed a formal complaint, UNL gave him a corner room suite to himself that cost double a normal room - free upgrade
@@radiationshepherd i think the staff knew the kid was a lot weirder than just "someone who masterbates" they likely made a special-case for this one - i mean dorms there are 10K per month and my friend was misrable - the masterbation thing was just part of the goofiness
Have been in the russian branch of this fandom from the age of 12 to the age of 15. Honestly, it was fun. I didn’t know english at that time, so I couldn’t stumble upon 4chan. It was just about watching the show, finding good art and sitting in that kinda weird group called “brony dubstep”(fucking hell xd). Even though at one point of time I was into fanfiction, it turned out great. I unironically read the whole “Fallout: Equestria” book(which honestly, still blows my mind, just the sheer amount of pages and the narrative), and found out about the Fallout 3 because of that. Still my favourite gaming franchise. I guess the russian branch of this fandom just wasn’t that bad…
Same here I'm actually glad that my grasp on English was far weaker at that time. For me, English speaking side of the fandom consisted only of well made animations and songs.
@@s1nqq I'm Cuban and I have the same experience in mlp and the brony fandom on learning english and holy crap! Now I know what the end of the Internet looks like!
imagine me, a 4 year old, in 2010, finding out about bronies... i thought it was so cool that i liked a show popular with adults... until i realised i was permanently scarred by pony porn and gore.
@@francisforevverthey're smarter than you think At 3 I vividly remember using a smartphone with android gingerbread and at the library using Windows 7

@@habibishapur I mean, the bullying was happening long before I watched this show, pretty much since kindergarten, and none of my bullies ever knew I watched it, so I fail to see your point.
@@captinrex2261 of course you fail to see my point. youre not very smart, thats why you cant pick up on subtleties, and thats why you get bullied. This show didnt help you "get over" anything. You're still just as cringe as always.
I got into the show. Loved it for the innocents. Found the reason you made this video and dipped from that Fandom so hard. I just stop talking to people about things I like. People ruin things.
Something I noticed with the EDP that applies to numerous situations like this, ppl are more interested in exposing and feeling like some sort of internet authority instead of actually going to the proper authorities and getting these sickos off the streets/ internet
Most of the people I watch do actively send reports to police, including actual name and photo of the predator (evidence too). It's just that unless you're a channel that works directly with police on a pedo hunt, your report will probably get ignored. I'm not saying to not send reports, but i am saying that most of these pedos get maybe 8 years in jail if police actually DO something. I have rarely ever seen these bastards get sentences in the double digits. And a lot of the time police flat out say they can't do anything, the judge is completely inept or the pedo makes some kind of claim that gets them out of trouble. I have seen a few channels that do it for clout, but they're few and far between, just thought i'd explain some of the frustration that comes with actively hunting pedos to get them arrested. Sometimes it really just boils down to; all we can do is warn people about them.
I feel like this fandom is just like the furry fandom: they're not all bad people, far from that, but the minority of creeps and actual criminals get much more attention than the normal people.
I think that comparison is apt, especially given that the majority of decent people have a vested interest in defending their communities from the perception from the outside that they're all creeps, so turn a blind eye to the actual creeps among them, therefore making it easier for creeps to operate within the community.
@@CJMGalaxy You know, I hate to admit it, but I really think you're right. I never understood why these communities didn't crack down harder on their own bad apples, but what you've said makes sense. Depraved creeps do some bad shit, and then outsiders just rail on the entire community, meaning the decent members of the group become more interested in defending themselves than actually admitting that these people are creeps and dealing with the issue.
@@gokuxsephiroth4505 yeah, just my observation as a long time outside obsever of both fandoms. Within the last five or so years the furries have gotten a ton better at dealing with their nazi problem, and attempts have been made to ostracize animal rapists, but it seems to me they still struggle with keeping creeps and zoophiles out - partially because of the somewhat more anonymous nature of fursuits and fursonas. The brony community has dwindled significantly in the past few years, so I think the creeps' access to kids has decreased, but they never really did deal with their creep problem while the fandom was thriving.
When I was a little girl I liked ponies and adult men on the internet would bully me for "not knowing the lore".

@@ShinFahima my mom was very wary of my interest in MLP and the “brony” community.

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.

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.

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.

*F A C T S*
Furries are doing their damnest to ruin my childhood nostalgia for Sly Cooper.
So pretty much any fandom correct?
And they're ALL single
That’s crazy
I watched mlp when I was 2-4 years old mainly because I was part of the 2010s kid phase also my next door neighbors had pony merch and I was like cool and we did everything together I was a younger kid than them they look to be my age but taller and I would always watch MLP because they had Hub (now it’s called Discovery Kids)
I wasn’t a brony officially but I was just watching them for my toddler entertainment I miss the early 2010s it was the best time to be a kid now look at these early 2020s kids
I like to imagine at least some of em do this shit for their daughters
And living in momma's basement
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.

This comment and it's replies make little to no sense.
You know damn well the brony fanbase is nothing but degenerates and weirdos.
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.

This shit is why I don't engage in online fandoms and communities. As an AFAB brony and a scaly, these communities harbor and at times encourage some horrifically creepy and disgusting shit. I just want to enjoy the wholesome lessons, bright colors and good music. I don't want to see porn of literal animals and characters I associate with my childhood.
I am sure hope you engage in RL fandoms and communities then, spending zero time on the internet
@dentheduck2095 LOL, I don't have any socials except YT if that counts, but that's not all there is to the internet.
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.
Never go too deep in a fandom. You are only hurting yourself.

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

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.

*yes i've seen those videos years back ;-;*
Like EDP cupcakes? 😕
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

Good comment, didn't notice that.
Time stamp?
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?

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
watching a show is not the same as making it your whole identity 😂
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.

Old brony I feel bad for you..........

Tbh I was never an inoccent child so none of that shit fazed me
Weird
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, TH-cam 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 😂

Yeah, mandopony was a rough story for me to find out. Loved his music as a kid. Im seriously glad that I never did get to go to cons and had no social media, it protected me from possible creeps everywhere irl and online.

The fact that she made (what is pretty much agreed to be) a masterpiece out of this profit-chasing commission, after her own idea was scrapped, shows quite the dedication on her end.
Also, having been on DeviantArt quite often recently, I've seen both TLH fans and haters of the wildest varieties.
God this makes me sad. No hate to mlp, but milkyway show sounds cooler and original :c
Hailey Shannon's story is mostly accurate.
Loud house fandom is way worse
I found the chances of a brony being a literal creep increase by 100% if their favourite pony was Rainbowdash.
I found the chances of a brony being a creep by them being a brony in the first place
The rainbow part says enough.
No...dont you tell me that one of my favorite game modificators is a creep, by judging the fact they made a rainbow dash mod.
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. Really lucky that no predators found me.
I completely understand. This is incredibly messed up. I’m so sorry this happened to you
Mach, you were getting OFF to the predators in that scenario.
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 When I was 14-15 years old, I read stories about femdom on barebones websites that involved boys my age and adult women. There weren't any chat or other communications features, and I was fortunate no predators could reach me because of that.
The lore of the show is really well done for being a kids show made to sell toys.
for real
went way harder than it had any right to
Yeah
Seriously HASBRO
Many companies ESPECIALLY A TOP NAME IN MOVIES Ahem disney

That was the most surprising part to me. I always assumed that happened the other way around.

''the road to hell is paved by good intentions, Zack.'' jesus christ that guy wrote a script for confronting pedos
that part got me so bad, guy sounded so dramatic but i can respect confronting him
It's really sad that the kids in the fandom were low-key traumatized.
💀I was one of those kids
what didn't help was the adults gatekeeping the entire thing. when it's clearly made for kids. it's a shame what it did to our youth. and I am upset that no one stepped up to stop it before it got worse.
@@bagel1612 Sad to hear that, it's still so weird how bunch of grown man invaded spaces for kids and filled it with porn.
@@Soniishere yeah those stories I hear about bronies almost feels like they're describing a nerd character from a generic highschool cartoon
The creepypasta shit the fandom put out really fucked me up as a 8 year old
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.
mfer you weren't in a "fandom" at 8 years old you were the intended audience
wouldn't say it destroyed the fandom,
it's not like every single adult who watched the show was weird, they added a lot to the community.
sure there where a few bad actors in the community, but other than that i would say it thrived.
@@LuxxyOfficial there were enough bad actors that associating with it is suspicious
@Seeing Star please stop, we don’t want your spicy mashed potato recepie.
16:22 “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” goes so hard, it sucks that line had to be used against a pedophile
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions,Zach. These people are your family. They helped you through so much and you took a giant shit on them.” Had me laughing for a solid 5 minutes straight
Dude fr. There are nerds and then there are f*cking losers
Iconic line xD
I know right, so cringey. He was so excited to say that, was saving it for days.
Brother was rehearsing that for a good minute. Still, it holds true.
Please gimme that atime stamp lol
When the girl said he wasn't the first one who told her she should try modeling I felt sick. GIRL you are talking to all kinds of the wrong people
16:45 i understand how controversial the brony community is and how infamous they are for being creepy, but i appreciate the members that seem to genuinely care about protecting young girls from their fellow bronies. mad respect for the normal ones
Its good to keep those facts in mind
“Normal”
sad part is I met actual bronies and most of them alrdy had their own families and lives. The problem is that Furries came in and overtook what was wholesome and destroyed it. Bronies got a bad rep because the Furries were tainting it (as they tend to taint ANYTHING with animals. See Disney characters!)
Furries as a whole aren't necassarily bad. They can even be normal, like the Bronies you met. But yeah, a lot of weirdness from them, too.
"Furries" and "Normal" are absolutely mutually exclusive lmao@@sanchorim8014
The show wasn't made just for girls, and Faust was smart enough to make sure there was appeal for adults, since there would be a lot of parents or other adult guardians watching.
That being said, 99% of bronies abhor the monsters highlighted in this video.
finally, a reasonable new comment
I watched it a few episodes when I'd babysit my nieces, but I never really saw the appeal that bronies apparently did.
The only thing I remember from that show was everyone forgetting the pink one's birthday, and she lost her fucking mind, went cross-eyed, and started talking to potatoes lol
I actually got exposed to this show because of babysitting, and ended up genuinely enjoying the show with my niece. It was a well written show with lovable characters, at least the parts I saw.
Get help bro
@@tuggleworm2690all he said was the show was enjoyable lmao. Never said he was a Brony, just pointed out how he can see it’s possible to be interested based on what he saw
@igotsauce Why? There's a big difference between stories written *primarily* for children and stories written *only* for children. It's well-written, funny, and has good characters and an interesting setting. Like... you know employed adults are the ones that create cartoons, right? People who love writing good stories and creating rounded characters and building fun worlds. Heck, I wanna work on cartoons as a career and I hope I get to be part of a crew that loves its work so much.
And... like, so what if it was directed at girls? Why is it that nobody bats an eye when shows directed at boy audiences attract girl viewers, but not the other way around? Adults aside, plenty of young boys watched MLP. Heck, one of them got his own character put in an episode thanks to the Make-A-Wish foundation.
@@tuggleworm2690 That's not the kind of person who needs help. It's those who became obsessed and those who felt it was okay to bully children and sexualize everything. Enjoying a little kids show is okay, I mean parents watch this stuff with kids and sometimes they end up enjoying it. I know my dad liked SpongeBob haha
@@lagtim327 It's like with Power Rangers. It's a show for kids, but it has so much action and loveable characters anyone can enjoy it.

Of all the movies to be quoted about this topic, this was not one I’d expect. But it fits perfectly.
My first exposure to this fandom came in the form of Chris Chan.
Yeah, that kind of ruined it for me from the get-go.
Yeah, mine was from those weird gore videos on TH-cam when I was like 7. Seriously dude, what kind of fucked people were in that community back then?
I'm so sorry...
That’s like getting violently ill on the first day of school.
@@mechanwhal6590 Exactly. I just imagine sitting in your first class, on the first day of school and just spontaneously bursting into explosive diarrhea in your pants.
@@mechanwhal6590 I dunno what kind of school you went to, but it should probably be demolished if that's what it's like.
I'm really glad that one of the shows that brightened up my childhood, and kinda stuck around as something to watch every now and then to cheer me up, fueled one of the most depraved and unhinged fandoms in existence.
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions ZACH” fucking cracked me up good lord

@@DankOldAcc straight from the heart lmao
As a 27 year old woman, I genuinely enjoy the show. I watched it before I had my kids. Since it first aired. It’s very nostalgic. It’s very wholesome, with a surprisingly good plot. But I’ve always enjoyed cartoons, of all sorts.
However.
I can’t openly enjoy it because of people like this. The extreme fan base makes me feel shame for enjoying the show. I do not and have not ever associated myself with all that mess.
Well you can't have everything
i feel so bad that the mlp fandom turned out the way it did when it first aired. You seem like a nice person, and i wish mlp could’ve had the same affect bluey had on all age groups in 2022, but i guess the same thing happened with both shows, just one became incredibly gross
You want a medal for creating a person who will die
@@Melnokina.-. dawg y u making up what they said💀
what is the point of your comment@@wolfmark-hu8hx
Fun fact, the first ever “porn” I came across as a kid was my little pony.
I sat there in an after school “school” sitting on a beanie bag next to a bunch of other 14 year olds and stared in disbelief on what I had accidentally stumbled on.
Other kids came to look and we had a joke and a laugh and I put the video to rest forever.
Also, I think I stumbled upon it because I was searching up a female character that I really like in this one game I played as a kid.
She was not exactly PG-13 friendly.
What game
was the character krystal from starfox adventures
im betting shantae
I got $20 dollars on Bayonetta
Me too! I was pretty young. Under 10, and my brother was watching something. I wanted to know what it was so I went up behind him and it was rainbow dash getting... Y'know. Changed my perspective on life forever.
what some bronies did are actually horrifying,
but i don’t think the weird and creepy people in the fandom can define the whole fandom. i love mlp and im part of the fandom even though im a 17 year old girl, but i love the show because i watched it as a kid and it brings back nostalgia and the show really makes my mood better when i watch it. the fan made animations and stories are also very interesting to me and i can tell how much hard work was put into them. there are some really great people that make mlp related content and i hate that we (normal bronies) are sometimes grouped with the creepy ones. especially when people judge me for liking the show just because of weird things other people that like the show have done.
Definitely cuz the definition of a “brony” is a guy who watches mlp and let’s not called those weirdos bronies cuz there not bronies there just creeps
Being a grown man into a show made for single-digit aged girls is weird af and youre weird af for liking it
I was a huge fan of mlp when I was 6-10 yrs old and had hundreds of those blind bag figures you’d get from Walmart. Ofc I looked up mlp stuff on TH-cam, and occasionally I’d find some gorey disturbing animation featuring the ponies and would get extremely uncomfortable and upset. Fortunately I didn’t see much of the sexual side of the fandom, but it still scarred me for life watching cupcakes for the first time.
I can relate with you, I'm surprised someone else went through what I said. I had to watch Smile HD and it scarred me
I used to LOVE MLP, but I was the opposite. I didn't get to the violent stuff but I remember seeing a shit ton of sexual fanart on Google
so messed up
Same here
just like me frr

When something is too toxic and degenerate for 4Chan... a line has been crossed.
Well it also didn’t help that they unwittingly helped create this retarded fanbase.

I was in college at UNL in Nebraska, my best friend had a brony as a roommate. He drew pony’s on their hallway whiteboard everyday… it was annoying but my buddy ignored it. Then he walked into dude jerking it to the show. Buddy filed a formal complaint, UNL gave him a corner room suite to himself that cost double a normal room - free upgrade
U can file a complaint over walking in on your roommate masturbating?
so did he pay the double price or was it free?

Have been in the russian branch of this fandom from the age of 12 to the age of 15. Honestly, it was fun. I didn’t know english at that time, so I couldn’t stumble upon 4chan. It was just about watching the show, finding good art and sitting in that kinda weird group called “brony dubstep”(fucking hell xd). Even though at one point of time I was into fanfiction, it turned out great. I unironically read the whole “Fallout: Equestria” book(which honestly, still blows my mind, just the sheer amount of pages and the narrative), and found out about the Fallout 3 because of that. Still my favourite gaming franchise. I guess the russian branch of this fandom just wasn’t that bad…
Same here
I'm actually glad that my grasp on English was far weaker at that time. For me, English speaking side of the fandom consisted only of well made animations and songs.
@@loSOSina_ yeah, same

Same here buddy. I was absolutely shielded from the bad stuff until like 2018. Still, a few good ones exist. LittleShyFIM's a good example. I mean, I still am technically one and make animations on them on my other channel. Just fun stuff.
More like you got bullied because you were watching weird shit like this but ok
@@habibishapur I mean, the bullying was happening long before I watched this show, pretty much since kindergarten, and none of my bullies ever knew I watched it, so I fail to see your point.
@Jimbo Johnson being toxic to people for no reason is really pathetic tbh.
@@captinrex2261 of course you fail to see my point. youre not very smart, thats why you cant pick up on subtleties, and thats why you get bullied. This show didnt help you "get over" anything. You're still just as cringe as always.
I got into the show. Loved it for the innocents. Found the reason you made this video and dipped from that Fandom so hard. I just stop talking to people about things I like. People ruin things.
Something I noticed with the EDP that applies to numerous situations like this, ppl are more interested in exposing and feeling like some sort of internet authority instead of actually going to the proper authorities and getting these sickos off the streets/ internet
They clout chasing
MamaMax reports pretty much everyone he covers. And the police usually do Jackshit in 99% of the cases, even when he makes that fact public knowledge.
Most of the people I watch do actively send reports to police, including actual name and photo of the predator (evidence too). It's just that unless you're a channel that works directly with police on a pedo hunt, your report will probably get ignored.
I'm not saying to not send reports, but i am saying that most of these pedos get maybe 8 years in jail if police actually DO something. I have rarely ever seen these bastards get sentences in the double digits.
And a lot of the time police flat out say they can't do anything, the judge is completely inept or the pedo makes some kind of claim that gets them out of trouble.
I have seen a few channels that do it for clout, but they're few and far between, just thought i'd explain some of the frustration that comes with actively hunting pedos to get them arrested.
Sometimes it really just boils down to; all we can do is warn people about them.
I feel like this fandom is just like the furry fandom:
they're not all bad people, far from that, but the minority of creeps and actual criminals get much more attention than the normal people.
And when I speak on furries I compare them to bikers,
A some of them are awful people but most of them mean well.
I think that comparison is apt, especially given that the majority of decent people have a vested interest in defending their communities from the perception from the outside that they're all creeps, so turn a blind eye to the actual creeps among them, therefore making it easier for creeps to operate within the community.
@@CJMGalaxy You know, I hate to admit it, but I really think you're right. I never understood why these communities didn't crack down harder on their own bad apples, but what you've said makes sense. Depraved creeps do some bad shit, and then outsiders just rail on the entire community, meaning the decent members of the group become more interested in defending themselves than actually admitting that these people are creeps and dealing with the issue.
@@gokuxsephiroth4505 yeah, just my observation as a long time outside obsever of both fandoms. Within the last five or so years the furries have gotten a ton better at dealing with their nazi problem, and attempts have been made to ostracize animal rapists, but it seems to me they still struggle with keeping creeps and zoophiles out - partially because of the somewhat more anonymous nature of fursuits and fursonas. The brony community has dwindled significantly in the past few years, so I think the creeps' access to kids has decreased, but they never really did deal with their creep problem while the fandom was thriving.
if youre a grown man and enjoying a show about ponnies made for kids then you need pyschological help
Watching ponies have a serious confrontation about one of them being a pedophile is hilarious
Impostor Amongas
Having a serious confrontation with a pony pedophile, is hilarious? Can you rephrase?
The Skype call with such serious subject matter contrasted with avatars of fucking pony OCs is the most unintentionally hilarious thing ever
its a serious situation but watching them talk about it as their Ponies stare into my soul, was not one of the things I would see today.
Holy shit the pure seriousness of the topic and they have pony ocs is so schizophrenic asf!
