why are MLP and TF2 fandoms so close anyway? the amount of content that correlates between the two is just absurd
>>43579527Early 2010s heyday absolutely helps but doesn't explain it all. I suppose also the amount of MLP/TF2 GMod and then SFM videos as well.
>>43579593yeah but this goes beyond "SFM runs on top of TF2 lol" gimmick that results in stuff like pic relponies are /too/ close to TF2
I think alot of people fell into both fandoms around the same time
>>43579527Because of the hyper-autistic desire to make pony content combined with SFM and the general popularity of Valve's shit at the time.
>>43579527Coincidentally have the same birthday.
>>43579527The real answer is both appealed to furries, but /mlp/ is not ready for that conversation.
>>43584164>spoileras a guy who started with TF2 and joined the herd later because of /mlp/'s shitposting unrelated to TF2 I must say that furries are only pyro mains, while horsefuckery is common amongst all 9 classes
>every filler in the anni has GOOD TF2 videos related to episodesbasado?

>>43591304Maybe. I recall when he noted Pinkie is best pony during his VNN interview, unprompted. Which makes sense for him to say.
