As the resident unapologetic Brony, I must say that it's nice to be back in the new again. The schism that developed between the usual loony Leftists and everyone else in the community was a strange happening, and in my view, further exemplifies how the show had such a large appeal across a wide variety of ideologies, despite the ultimate split they suffered when certain sacred cows were challenged.

The most famous of these is the "Communism is Bad" episode, which set the season's villain, and was the first really big split the community had over the lessons being taught, as opposed to simply disliking larger show decisions such as turning the main character Twilight Sparkle into a pseudo-immortal Alicorn goddess. It's not as Mary-Sue as it might sound, I assure you.

It was a fun show, and it gave us lots of fan art, music, fanfictions, and plain old simple greentexts that let us imagine a world where we could find a place we belonged and be loved in spite of our very human flaws. Something a great many men at the time, and many more since, have realized was stolen from them before they ever even had the opportunity to work towards it.

I like the Tomboy Pony a lot, but the Book Nerd Pony is my favorite by just a bit.
