(I didn't, largely since I've never watched a single episode, but the psychic damage and whiplash of Wholesome Pony Show having said this line was too fuckn much for me)

EDIT: More replies than upbears now. It’s probably an official struggle session now (although most of it is that one person). One must imagine SisyFEWs happy.

    People's response to this show (good, bad, or indifferent) warped how the internet talks about fandom and online culture.

    On a positive note, though, I think it was also legitimately a gateway to questioning gender norms for a lot of people.

      If the My Little Pony fandom was your gateway to questioning gender norms and eventually realizing you're a trans woman...

      ...Does that mean you got horsefemmed?

      The MLP fandom died because all the people who liked it because they were closeted eggs realized they could just be trans and all the people who liked it because they were closeted furries realized they could just be furries and all the people who liked it because they were closeted fascists realized they could just be fascists.

      It was a weird path to a win, but a win regardless! Living one's truth because a cartoon helped get one there is just as valid a reason as any other in my book.
