I’m a heterosexual male who was into MLP before this fandom went pop, was mostly into G3s and G1s, G2s are cool but not my jam, and G3.5 is an awful abomination. I like G4s, but I think they’re too small. The fashion style G4s were awesome, but not the regular wee ones.

Used to go MLP cons and meetups and stuff like that, the community was like 85% women, 10% guys with their girlfriend or wife, and 5% weirdos like me. In like pre-2010, 2011 and a bit into 2012, the guy who was there who just liked pones by himself, the reaction was like “oh cool! Thanks for coming out, look at my table full of beat to shit G3s for a buck a pop!”, and you paw through the tables, lookin’ for pones with hair that you can save, maybe some with accessories, too!

The FiM community are bastard coasted bastards with bastard filling. They’re loud, obnoxious, and rude. They don’t know shit about G1 to even G3.5, they don’t acknowledge things outside of that show which was made to make young women and girls from every walk of life feel like no matter who they are and what they like, they can find friends and fit in. That despite having different skills and and being good at different things, what you can do is still valuable and people will appreciate it. They ignored that. The bronies said this is ours now. They made porn of it, and sad DeviantArt accounts with photoshops of them going on dates with characters in the show. Going into like summer 2012, that’s when shit hit the fan. That’s when I stopped going to cons and meetups, because the bronies made me the asshole by extension.

The brony incels came in. Started going to cons and shows. Stinkin’ it up, wearing shirts multiple sizes too small. Being overbearing, getting upset at prices for G4s. Guess what, pal? You RUINED the G4 market. You drove the prices up! Then the bronies drove the old fans away. Not just men. They pushed women away from this hobby. They made every dude who bought a toy pone before 2012 look like a piece of shit. I don’t even deal with it anymore. Sold off my collection, made a shitload of money, made a lot of money off of the G4s. Remember those G4 fashion styles I said I like? Those were really valuable, especially complete in box, with expertly styled hair. You should have seen my G4 FS Rarity. I got her hair so perfect, the curls looked amazing. But I deleted all of those pictures, because I didn’t want to be associated with what being a boy in the MLP community meant.

Fuck ya all motherfuckin’ brony pieces of shit. Shit all over one of my hobbies and I don’t even do it anymore.
