I am both happy and saddened to admit that I am one of those bad apples. I am one because I never wanted a few characters to leave a particular part of their filly hood behind. I want to say more, but I don’t want to get in trouble for saying it. Reply and we could set up a time to talk in long-form through private messages.

One reason whyll never leave this group of fans is that they actually created art that should never have gone past Hasbro’s sensors. That being grimdark, creepypasta, and my favorite diaper art and stories. Hasbro could have stopped us from creating that art and stories that they never wanted to see the light of Celestia’s cursed hot daylight. They could have used their absolute authority to keep those darker subjects in Luna’s beautiful cool darkness of night.

The Brony fandom can never be replicated in this day and age. We were not the “perfect” fandom, we had bad apples as any fandom does, but we were bound together by 1 word:
Friendship
And that was all it took to make it phenomenal

It was a lot of fun and a really neat time to see just how big the fandom was even that early on. Unfortunately it was bigger than the coordinators expected so a lot of fans stood in line along the sidewalk for hours waiting to get in for the autograph/meet and greet session but got turned away when the VA cast had to leave.
That being said the people running the event were pure class as they reached out to a lot of the people (including myself) that didn’t get through the line in time and sent us fully autographed versions of these posters and thanked us for being so patient and supportive.
I feel like no other fanbase had the same level of polite professionals on one end and dedicated and kind fans on the other, especially in those early years.

It is a little surreal. I was in high school as many others were. The fandom was very much a product of its time.
