What is the fandom like in AD 2025?I haven't watched any pony related stuff since 2012.
>>42868984Worse now that you're here
>>42868984>checking 4chans for the modern state of a fandomchina picked up the torch apparently, but there are still some bastions of creativity and friendship, even here. /create/ is nice.
>>4286898415th anniversary was one of the most heartfelt and raw things I've seen from pony. I got on the ride back in 2011 and the love has been fully reignited now. Pony content is being made a good bunch and lots of it even gets hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, showing great demand for pone. FiM is exploding in China at the moment, with tons of merchandising, much of it great. Lot of zoomer fans have gotten into it, with videos for Friday Night Funkin pony mods getting over 10 million views in some cases. AcousticBrony came back around to finish his Elements series with Honesty and Magic a few years ago. Hasbro is planning a "total brand revival" for the year of the horse in 2026. The dreams people had here of AI waifus back in 2013 have been realized now that technology has caught up, and there's even a full fanmade AI Equestia visual novel simulator that's fantastic. Cons are going strong too, with even /mlp/ having it's own con, Mare Fair.Shit's smaller than it was back in 2012-2014, but it's picking up speed again to the point there's noticable magic. I've been having the time of my life rediscovering pony and if you seriously want back in, it's like the perfect time to rejoin the herd. Things are very fun and very close knit.
>>42869072ngl I consider /mlp/ to be the beating heart of and best place for pony culture, this might be the best place to go for ponies in particular
>>42869099There are plenty of other places, but with brick booty general on the board, how can I disagree?
>>42868984>yet another returnfag threadLurk or fuck off
>>42869115Brick booty general is a fucking treasure
>>42869120NOwe need more fun random threadsour old brothers are returning and back in 2013 we'd always have lots of stupid simple threads; it was so much fun. The simple fact someone is here posting their thoughts on pony alone is always a good thing to me. I want as much new blood and fun as this board can get.
>>42868984>returnfag>can't even be fucked to post a ponyLeave and then kill yourself
>>42869194Kill all newfags and returnfags.They need to lurk moar or they need to fuck off.
>>42869097>15th anniversary was one of the most heartfelt and raw things I've seen from ponyThis, I couldn't help myself but cry when the official MLP YT channel uploaded a The Magic of Friendship Grows music video on that day. And then thereafter, they also released a vinyl with 15 songs from the show. Wow, that had me emotional for days. Hasbro really outdid themselves this time.
>>42869205>dude this corporation released more junk for me to buy I'm so emotional I'm crying lmao faggot
>>42869200 (checked)responding to this post to let everyone know I'm in the opposite partyanyone can ask me any questions and I'll spoonfeed you to the best of my ability so you can have fun here; the only "test" to overcome here is if you're thick-skinned enough to not let words on the internet bother youif you pass that, you can go apeshit and have fun :D
>>42869205Oh fucking same. That little video touched me so much; I didn't even know they did a vinyl but that's so sweet. I cried a lot at the anni as well. Pony and all of you guys here means way more to me than you know.
>>42869210>duuude I'm here to kill the communityOffboarder rats like you need to be executed
>>42869208Consooming is magic, Anon. Hasbro is our friend. Search your soul.
>>42869214That's the fun part about imageboards tho; you can post whatever you want, do whatever you want - so long as you don't give a shit about what anyone says, 4chan is your personal sandbox for fun hahaPeople may try and gatekeep by slinging out mean words, but I am here to reverse gatekeep by slinging out FUN AND HAPPY AND GOOD (or some shit I dunno honestly I just like being nice to everyone)
>gatekeeping is bad>but ruining the internet is funThis is why the internet is dogshit and pinkie pie is worst pony. Anybody who likes pinkie should be thrown into a gulag.
>>42869313all I heard is 'post pinkie'
>>42869331HOLY SHIT ARE YOU ME?
>>42869341no, i'm me
>>42869362THAT'S ACTUALLY REALLY FUNNY BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BE ME TOO!
>>42869368there can be only one!
>>42869385THERE CAN ONLY BE FUNalso that vid is a classic kek thanks for the memories
>>42868984It's slowed down, mostly just nostalgic at this point
Gay
>>42868984Went to a con last week and there was a fair amount of people
>>42871222>Went to a con last weekYou're somehow more of a faggot than op
>>42868984Beeg tits
>>42871249Because I socialize with people in real life instead on jacking off and resisting the urge to rope like most anons here?
>>42871898>Translation: I shit up the board with discord drama and simp for 3dpds while only pretending to like ponies
>>42872019
>>42872026>i-it doesn't happen (it does)>y-you're making stuff up (false)>y-you're mad (projecting)Sad!
>>42868984low effort returnfag bait threads like this should be bannable
>>42872019Yeah bro I'm only pretending to like ponies that's why I went to a pony convention
>>42872283Exactly. You're a poser. You don't like the show. You like the idea of liking the show.
>>42872051Would you have sex with OP if it meant he died after???
ftm trannies tell each other /v/ and /mlp/ are the places to go but not /pol/ because it's feds.
>>42868984It is just as homosexual as before
>>42872283you could go there for gay bath house...and gay sex
it's kinda gay
>>42868984I went to Mare Fair this year, last year, and had a lot of fun both times.
>HI I'm back spoon-feed me!! >Heres a human image to show how serious I am about wanting to know about this pony show!!Great job acquiescing this shit everytime, too! So they know to come back and keep asking! Step on a rusty nail, sport!
>>42875253Fuck off shill
