The entire rule34 space is so wildly bizarre and cringe, and unrepresentative of the majority of fans of any fictional property that I'm not sure it's quite fair to judge a fanbase on the porn made of it. By that token, one would have to assume that the majority of fans of any show want the characters to be fat/inflated futas, which we know isn't the real case. For some reason, artists who make r34 stuff and the people who consume just happen to have really fucked up ideas of what's sexually arousing, but they aren't the norm for anything.

I have no idea how common it was to bronies in particular, but the single data point of "this is the porn of their show" being weird shit isn't enough to fully establish the point. The r34 of everything is really weird shit.

Frankly it's so bizarre that I'd be really curious how it happened. I can't say I've ever played a game or watched an anime with a hot waifu and thought "you know what would make her hotter? If she weighed 500lbs and had a dick". But for some reason, that does seem to happen with a ton of artists for just about every fandom there is, and I have no idea how that happened.
