I wonder if this is what inspired a bit of fan art I saw years ago where some artist lambasted the fandom over 'all bronies (other than me) are rassist and sexist and every bad thing'.
And then when the truth came out, they basically said, "Okay, so the rumor was false, but yo;u're all scum anyway, so there." Right now the best I can remember they're also a webcomics artist and they appear on FA.
