>pony posting has increased in all over the internetwhat's happening??
>>42956250Nothing as per usual. It's been the same level of pony posting since MLP:FIM ended with the crap that Josh Haber shat out called "Season 8 and 9"
>>42956250Has it? I live under a rock and don't use social media.
>>42956250we are so back
>>42956254no OP is lying
>>42956254Zoomer nostalgia + 2000s early 2010s "aesthetics" all over TikTok and Instagram. Stuff like Windows 7 and My Little Pony and Xbox 360 and the Wii it's the current zeitgeist all over zoomer social media.Don't think we're back though, they're really just posing attwhores that don't really care about ponies and just want clout
>>42956254This. Who even uses social media willingly? It provably rots your brain.
>>42956278Ah, so it's just business as usual. I mean I get it. I wanna go back too, but I'm not gonna be a big faggot about it.
>>42956298It's hilarious really, we've gone full circle and got back to sideeying coons that just pretend to like pony for internet attention
>>42956295>Who even uses social media willingly?Braindead zoomers who never experienced the old internet.>It provably rots your brain.Their brains have been long rotted into a corpse by them using social media.
>>42956278I don't think I've seen any of the 2010's "aesthetic" posts because I don't use TikTok, but why do I get the feeling it is heavily misrepresented and it is closer to the mid 2000's than anything from the decade it's meant to represent? probably because most zoomers are awful at portraying decades, including their own, which should know as well as the palm of their hands (but don't)
>>42957138Yeah, a lot of young people mash together Myspace-era stuff with FiM.
>>42957138You're onto something, this is the average wannabe early internet zoomer post on tiktok, they couldn't even get the fucking year right, bunch of asses
>>42957142This is beautiful
China you fucking tourists
>>42957142This is terrible
>>42957142Do you need your diaper changed you geriatric faggot?
>>42957342was*
>>42957142To be fair, the 60s and 70s are all a blur of hippie dippie disco to me, so I'm not casting any stones at zoomers.
>>42957142To be fair, 2009 was the year when FiM was in development, and also it was publicly known that new My Little Pony animation content was coming soon:https://investor.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hasbro-and-discovery-communications-announce-joint-ventureBut yeah, Vinyl Scratch wasn't known.
>>42957299Nerve struck much? You of legal age to post here yet?
>>42956250Target audience has matured.
>>42957758Depends on what you define as "matured". physically? yesmentally? no, they seem as emotionally unstable as they were back when the show came out.
>>42956250year of the horse OP, G6, the live action movie, Chinese merch, they're coming back
>>42956250I've been seeing it all over TikTok lately. I was 15 in 2012, but the actual 7 year olds that watched it back then are old enough to drink now. There's a Renaissance of art and memes on Twitter and TikTok, all from the newgen.
>>42958309>using tiktokngmi, did you lose your frontal lobe?
>>42958313>did you lose your frontal lobeDiagnosed with ADHD when I was 11, it was over before I began. 90% whatever was supposed to be in my frontal lobe was filled with ponies when I was in Highschool.
DickCock version of 00's and early 10's is shit and inaccurate. They also tend lump poni with 2007 era stuff.
Baby zoomers already grew up.
>>42958349Yeah I don't rally get it either. That "Myspace Invader Zim Kingdom Hearts" was on it's way out by the time fim started taking off.
>>42958309unfortunately tiktok is filled with gen z retards who only discuss lesbian shipping, black pinkie humanizations, eqg and calling everything right of normal zoophilia.
>>42956250its a good show without being ironic or inauthentic, a breath of fresh air to the zoomers and aphfoids, poisoned by irony and self referentialism
>>42958349I'm 100% okay with early 2010s pony be lumped with late 2000s. Everything went to shit at about 2014, and part of the reason we liked FIM at all was because it was the only cartoon that felt old school in a reality tv calarts wasteland. It's not like decades are clear cut eras anyway.
Random mlp tiktok casually pulling 1M+ interactionshttps://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRk5ChKK/The platform is full of these, pony reaction gifs with 10k favs and pony pfps. The numbers are historicYour opinions on this?
No contribution, bump for interest.
>>42958468I've seen plenty of these faggots. I am mutuals with a few /mlp/tards myself a lot of them got banned thoughone guy im mutuals with pulls a ton of views of his mlp skits. The zoomers there are alright, some of them like my waifu posting, others will calll you a zoophile or act shocked as if they aren't obsessed with "selfshipping", that's what they call waifuism now. so gay.
>>42956254>>42958309It genuinely has. From seeing more profile pics with ponies in comment sections, Instagram reels of clips of Tara Strong's other roles where she swears synced with Twilight, and more. I know the Mordecai x Twilight stuff is old now, but it's weirdly still relevant and is a fairly well known meme
>>42959851>"selfshipping", that's what they call waifuism now.There is no end to my hatred of the modern internet.
>>42956250PONY RENAISSANCE MOTHERFUCKERWE'RE BRINGING THE GOOD SHIT BACK
>>42958280Happens when your dopaminergic system gets completely fucked up through the use of state-sanctioned tracking devices.
Since you all are talking about TikTok, one of the first MLP things I just saw had a brown humanisation of Twilight and one of the first comments to that video was "Why is Twilight black?"Lol.
>>42958343>Diagnosed with ADHD when I was 11Your generation ALL had ADHD. Just like everyone of my generation were told they were "gifted" when they were a child.
>>42958438While at the same time seeing no problem in incestuous shipping (Pipp and Zipp). Until some moralfag points it out. Then they suddenly do, at least until their next drawing.
>>42960558If you hate the modern internet you should hate the modern generations by extension because they are literally the exact cause of it.Total Zoomer Death
>>42956250There are currently two different mlp fanbases, "bronies" and "mlp fans". "Mlp fans" are young zoomers who grew up with the show and are completely separate from "bronies".
>>42960819Nah, modern internet was ruined by normalfags and smartphones regardless of age. Don't fall for the generation wars psyop, it's the same shit as that current race and gender wars, a distraction for the masses.
>>42960874High IQ opinion, I must admit. You're absolutely right and I guess some zoomers might be okay once they are taught the errors of their ways, although right now the majority of them are still being used against us precisely because they are so easily rallied up for a misguided cause, which is probably because they're still young.
>>42956250
>>42961405this one is actually better than my shitty mousehandwriting. I cut out the writing from the original meme and pasted it into this scene.
>>42960833I got on the ride as an 11 year old in 2011. Im 26 now. I wouldn't call myself any of these things but I am these things at the same time. For the most part I'm just brain damaged. I soulbonded with this gay ass childrens show for girls when I was at my most impressonable. It is remarkable I haven't trooned out and made a "mlp traumatized me" essay on youtube. I don't know who's the most fucked.The adults today that delved into this shit as kiddies, or the adults back then who still haven't gotten over it. The ones who watched it as kids at least have the excuse of them being literal children and just being nostalgic. The OG bronies were puer aeturnus already over a decade ago, can't imagine how it must feel today.
>>42961456What if I was 14 and a high school sophomore back in 2011? Do I count as your generation, or the older generation?
I got into pone because I browsed 4chan at my shitty warehouse job and enjoyed the deranged greens I saw. Flutterrape was funny, random deranged Anon stories were fun, but RGRE did something to me...
>>42961456>can't imagine how it must feel todayIt feels good. I continue to enjoy what has always made me happy since my youth, instead of autistically pretending I'm now too old for that and do boring normie stuff like watching sports or other gay garbage. I have long since stopped feeling ashamed for what I like simply because normalfags disapprove. You may get to that same point. Some day. Once you finally drop your highschool mentality of wanting to belong among people who don't want you around.
>>42958464>It's not like decades are clear cut eras anyway.No, but there were clear differences between the 2000's and how the fandom was influenced by the Rage Comics era of the internet.
>>42956250It's healing
>>42956254Personally I only noticed a small spike around 2023 and 2024. 2025 was the same levels of dead as when I realized this show ended in 2019/2020. People who think "Ponies are back" have sniffed dangerous amount of copium.
