*This is different from the first episode in that it's a discussion with two other bronies. Shakespearicles™ Who was right at the beginning during the 4chan origins and Cash Flow who's been one since 2013, but has been most active in the more recent years.
In 2010, a phenomenon was born that would take the internet by storm—the rise of the Brony fandom. Sparked by the unexpected success of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, created by acclaimed animator Lauren Faust, the fandom grew beyond just its target audience of young girls, becoming a cultural movement that spanned fan art, conventions, and a vibrant online community. In this video, we dive into the origins of the Brony fandom, explore the internet culture that fueled its rise, and reflect on how a show about colorful ponies captured the hearts of people from all walks of life. Join us as we explore how this unlikely fandom changed pop culture forever.
