Helpful timestamps:
Viewers with sensitivity should avoid: 29:21-29:31 flashing tiktok imagery, 37:13-37:39 bronies raving with strobes, 39:11-39:22 flashing gifs up on an LED screen, 48:28-48:30 a pony gets zapped with flashing magic, 1:09:38-1:11:10 some concert footage played behind credits.

When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn They will stare unbelieving at the last Bronycon When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn In the distance hear the laughter of the last Bronycon I'm alive, I'm alive When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn Look and see her how she sparkles, it's the last Bronycon

I was always SO happy interacting with the Brony fandom as a little girl. I LOVED attending cons, I would always take pictures with adults in full cosplay, and they’d draw my clumsily made OC for me for free while having nice, innocent conversations about the show with me. I felt surrounded by friends. I met several “horse famous” people who were, with one exception, SO incredibly kind to me, and it meant the world to me as the weird, mentally ill, autistic, often outcast kid at school. In fact, Jenny, you and your friend made a significant contribution to that. I had made a very, VERY poor, clumsy attempt at a Derpy cosplay and I attended a FiW panel at Fiesta Equestria in Houston, Texas. I had worked so hard on it, and though it was poorly made, I got so many compliments, including several from y’all, who were so so cool and funny in my little eyes. You guys said I looked like an angel, and I didn’t get compliments like that outside of family often. So, despite all of the weird shit and the harmful impacts I later realized exposure to the worse parts of the fandom had on my brain, I’m still very grateful to the fandom, to YOU, for that. Thank you, everypony

I really appreciated talking about the fandom becoming increasingly exclusionary and hostile for children to be in. I feel like adults (and especially teenagers and young adults who are trying to prove their maturity) assume that children can't pick up on hostile vibes or, dare I say, can't tell when they are being objectified or when there's a skeezy vibe in the air. On the more banal end, they assume kids can't tell when something's an innuendo or super violent- I think it's because they know how much they've changed since their childhood that they assume kids are (or should be) cool with everything because they're too dumb to notice anything. I can remember being little and even if I didn't know why something felt weird I could tell something was up and felt uncomfortable and/or unwelcome. I ended up not watching or reading a lot of stuff that was officially for kids because there were weird adult jokes or hyper-sexualized characters in there. Also, not to be blunt but many children don't get a choice for when they're exposed to sexual stuff. Even on the most chill end of this- not even talking about more direct messed up shit- little girls know they're often vaguely sexualized by adults and hate it. I remember talking about it with my friends on the playground at age 9. I remember shopping with my mom at age 7 and being disgusted by how many pajamas and shorts had quasi-sexualized stuff like "kitten" and "princess" printed on the butt- or emblazoned with rhinestones that hurt to sit on. It took hours for us to find shorts that didn't have printing on the butt. And by age 12 odds are good you've been horribly catcalled by an adult man. Kids get a vibe for what objectification is long before they actually know what sex is. There should be spaces and media that they can enjoy without having to worry about that, and where adult fans should take a back seat.
@SquamataReptile 3 ай бұрын
Teen girl here, can confirm. I have friends who were followed by men and asked me to stay on call with them to feel safer, I was catcalled when I was like 13 by a group of around a dozen teenagers that looked to be mostly 16yo boy’s, I see loli’s in anime I watch, I have heard the boys in my class objectify one of my classmates for her body type, ect, ect. We can tell and we know. It’s hard to find a place where teenagers and young kids, regardless of gender, can feel safe and like it’s something actually made for them without perverted corruption.

'Men are not socialized to recognize uncomplicated, unsexual fondness for a female character' This blew my goddamn mind because it's so true. Girls will hug each other and be openly bubbly and kind to one another, but men are expected to be very tough and serious with one another. And so when a woman acts kindly to us, our wires get crossed and we relate that behavior to the closest thing that our minds have been allowed to grasp: 'Oh, she must be sexually attracted to me'. That's honestly a large part of why MLP appealed to some men non-sexually as well; it was like our own little universe where everybody was just kind of nice to each other.

The main factor is how every piece was essentially a unique hand-made craft. The materials are not inherently expensive, so if you have a factory line set up to churn them out the costs would go way down,(see: teddy bears) but Hasbro really wasn't interested in doing that for a long while, so $500 dollar plushies you go.

Your brony documentary had a huge influence on me when i just found the show (found the show first). You made that self doubt i had go away, and embrace the show rather than shy away from it, and the show ended having a legit effect on me, making me see the people around me in a brighter light. In short, I guess the show pushed me towards being a better person, simply by reminding me (as an adult) about the child like optimism that comes from seing your friends as people that are "good", and not as "grey individuals", and that in return made people around me more happy to be around me, because i would focus on the best in them. I think that is what real friends does, they see the best in each other and focus on that, and that is a lesson for all ages. So thank you Saberspark. Not because you made the change in my life (MLP deserve that thanks), but because you gave me the courage to start going down that road :)

For a few reasons my relationship with the fandom is VERY complicated. But the show was like. My entire childhood. Being an autistic kid, a show about how to be a good friends that delivers its lesson in non judgmental ways with fun songs and colorful characters literally saved my social life. I learned how to socialize and to interact. I’ve started to revisit the show and it’s actually become a special interest again. Still a weird situation for me personally but the show itself is wonderful. Edit: Also like. To be clear. When I was watching the show I was in third grade. I was just slightly outside the target audience. And I had just received my autism diagnosis, so now I knew why I never understood people around me. I wasn’t watching the show originally to teach me about friendship, but it certainly stuck with me more in that respect because it was something I was aware of at the time. And again. I was like. 10. (Or whatever age kids in 3rd grade in the US generally are I don’t remember)

"hated" for it, or seen in an entirely different light for it was a very potent lesson as well, for a 17 year old me...

I watched this with my daughter, and I’m not ashamed to say as a grown woman I rather enjoyed it. It’s funny and has a refreshingly decent storyline (which after watching crap like Peppa Pig and Bing, you really really begin to appreciate). It’s ok to like MLP, just not be a creepy brony.

Matter of fact I still have a key chain clip that just happens to be Applejack and I made small palm sized crochet ponies once and only one never sold and that was an Applejack to which ended up becoming a ferret hiding toy.

As a fan of G5 and trauma victim of seeing Rainbow Factory at the age of 11, I've been reflecting a lot on the brony fanbase a lot lately. Everything about it is just so fascinating and the impact it had on... let's be honest here, our generation, is insane lol, I mean, it's unforgettable in so many ways.

i love how theres a resurgence of those who were kids at the time (myself included) of the brony era that are now reclaiming the show. its kinda nice how full circle its kinda gone with how these then kids are taking back what was originally theirs to begin with, embracing the "cringe" of it and having nostalgia for the show they grew up with and reminiscing over what they(we) were traumatized by with what we saw on the internet regarding mlp back in the day

The only thing I wish that was touched on more in this video is going deeper into the darker sides of the Brony community. I'm someone who got into My Little Pony when I was a 12 year old girl, and someone who actively went to conventions and fan meetups, along with interacting with the online community. I had multiple instances of grown men being creepy towards me, and there are a few stand out instances I look back on and realize how not okay they were. I still remember vividly being 13, dressed up as Princess Luna at a local con and a 20 something year old guy continually coming to sit by me and make conversation, offering to pay for my badge and to buy me dinner. At first I just thought he was being nice, but then it reached a point where he came up to me, looked me dead in the eyes and said "I'm just going to be honest here, I'm sexually attracted to you." I awkwardly told him I wasnt interested and that I had to go find my friends, but it still just makes me uncomfortable to think about. The part of that all that makes me even more uncomfortable is that that I ran into him the next day, when I wasn't in my Princess Luna cosplay, and he didn't even recognize me. It made me stop and think about how this guy saw a visibly underaged girl dressed up as Princess Luna, projected his fantasy of getting with a pony princess onto me, and then didnt even recognize me when that perceived fantasy was gone. I know my first hand accounts aren't all there is and I could have just had isolated incidents, however something leads me to believe that's just not the case, and I think how underaged girls were treated within the fandom is something that needs to be discussed.

I remember back in 2013-ish hearing a lot of this king of horror story. As far as I can tell it wasn't uncommon for some artists to get a table at a MLP con once, see how the adult men were acting, & never come back. I know that one artist even had to let a pre-teen girl hide under their table until her parents could come find her cause a guy was following her around propositioning her.

Jayne Strange all of these stories sound so scary and horrible. i went to a brony convention when i was only 10 years old. the summer before i turned 11 in 2014. it was my first ever convention experience and i went with my dad and my friend. we went for a few hours and i got a plushie/met some of the voice actors. it was a great time! or atleast... it was a great time to 10 year old me. i realized once i was older that creepy men were constantly staring at me and even tried to talk to me when i was away from my dad. i was dressed up as my oc with paper wings and was clearly underage. lets just say once my dad realized men were looking at me that way... we left as fast as we could. in the end we were only there for 3 hours at best.
