“Brony online culture has displayed elements of far-right and white nationalist extremism,” an internal memo from Facebook read, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Bronies get the helicopter too.

Of course it's not true. People liked the show because it was a nice, wholesome show.

There was a post timestamped less than an hour before the shooting that read, “I hope that I can be with Applejack in the afterlife, my life has no meaning without her,” and it featured an image of the cartoon pony Applejack.

That's not a far-right white nationalist extremist. That's a guy who is so hopelessly depressed that if you took away that one good thing he probably would have gone postal months ago.

The hard capital R Retards on OG reddit are blaming this on every fucking thing that nerds have ever enjoyed ever basically ensuring that no comforting dopamine hits outside of their approved pipeline is allowed.

You're not getting into woke heaven without paying the tithe.

Government and media working together to demonize every group that might not go along with Building Back Better... sounds oddly reminiscent of some times in history.

The lion's share of early 2010's bronies moved on to Steven Universe and/or being professionally trans

What they mean is that some bronies are potentially based because it's fundamentally counter-cultural. Remember that MLP had an entire episode that attacked the concept of equality.

I've seen random based furries on Twitter too.

My argument is that this is the result of genuine blow-back niche counter-cultures reacting to an establishment culture, which happens to be leftist & authoritarian.

The only fucking thing the so-called "Brony culture" displayed was massive amounts of autism.

Holy shit I can't believe I'm reading that line and they're saying this unironically.

That is offensive and should be considered hate speech against the far-right. Will furries be the next alt-right?

No, I'm pretty sure they still have both of those.

I expect it has to do with being 2edgy4me
