The fanbase hasn’t been killed, it’s just been slowly shrinking since the end of season 2. IMO the primary cause is the rise of other fandoms of other shows that sprang up within the last 5 years that many in the FIM fandom graviteted towards.
So… I was reading a lesbian romance and suddenly the protagonist is complaining about random things including what I think is a G3 Rainbow Dash x Scorpen fan fiction. Both characters pacifically named.
