I know it had it's hayday when I was in highschool back in 2010'ish. I was a certified brony with all my pals. I sorta fell off the bandwagon and am coming back to it now. How's the fandom, is it still as popular?
It's more popular than most fandoms of its era but it's clearly significantly reduced in size. There's a couple fun new waves from people who grew up with the show and then China has been getting big into ponies, so both of those mean new people making fanart.
>>42791336Bronies became irrelevant in 2014 and show in 2015. MLP is remembered only by people who grew up with it and by 700 anons here on /mlp/.
>>42791352>700 anons hereBe honest. It's more like under 300 with most being lurkers.
>>42791336the fandom is certainly smaller but I feel like most horsefuckers/bronies online are goddamn sleeper agents waiting for a signal to start another cultural wave of autism
>>42791336I think the only way to revive the fandom is a fan animation that becomes really popular and catches the attention of the public and hasbro.
>>42791336It's pretty much alive, don't listen to doomerfags like >>42791352It remains a large fandom that produces a lot of content and activities online and irl
>>42791456The activation signal will be G6 premiere and MLP coming back like never before, it will be 2010 all over again, you will see.
>>42791456More like sleeper cells to start mass shootings once their Mind Kontrol phrase is uttered.
>>42791356Bullshit. First Mare Fair had like 500 people. Secret Santa usually has around 200 active participants. Golden rule of the Internet says that you can expect 10x more lurkers than active people.
>is it still as popular?Don't know, don't care.I still make shit, shit still gets made. It's all good.
>>42791675Doubtful. Mare Fair likely was just people hearing it from other places i.e twitter
>>42791647>their Mind Kontrol phrase is uttered.ur waifu a shit
>>42792420Anni stream had 700+ people present
I unironically don't want a fandom resurgence. I'd rather see it die.
>>42793017To be fair, a lot of those people are only showing up for the anni.>>42793041You want ponies to disappear?
>>42793017>Anni stream had 700+ tourists who bailed as soon as the anni ended
>>42793043>touristsI feel like that's the incorrect term for most anni people. More accurately it's people who used to be regulars here but fell off as it got more depressing.
>>42793042>You want ponies to disappear?Yes. I'd rather have them fade away into obscurity than be raped over and over again by Hasbro.
>>42793047But someone who only shows up for an event then fucks off is really the definition of a tourist, they came in big numbers for the 15 years milestone and that's it.
>>42793049To me a tourist is someone who's heard about 4chan and shows up to figure out what it is and then leaves before they actually learn board culture, that's the thing people say about Mare Fair-ers for example.
>>42793052And what would you call the 700 then, traitors who gave up ground on the board but instead went to discords, twitter and the rest
>>42793056Sure, traitors, abandoners, something like that.
>>42793062Sounds like semantics but they aren't regulars or even lurkers
>>42791336I have it on good accord that if you make a pony lewd game on Patreon then you'll receive $2000 monthly however the game must be advertised properly on itch.io , equestria girls/daily (freudian slip), newgrounds, etc. and it will take anywhere between 3 to 12 months if you advertise properly and your game is decent and you make enough updates per month.However yes that's it $2000 take it or leave it. I don't know of any MLP-based projects on Patreon that take in more than $2000 a month. Anyone here does?
>>42791356Even less.
