My Little Pony originally started as toys in the 1980s by
Hasbro. Shortly afterwards, a TV show started and successfully delivered many episodes. It was targeted at little girls. Later, they started a new generation with new characters, animation, etc. Eventually, G4 came. It is arguably the best generation in the series. It refined the animation, perfected the voice acting, increased the drama, and many other things. Not only little girls took an interest in this show, but many grown men too. While some consider
bronies cancer to the internet, others are fine with them liking what they like. In 4chan, many moderators started banning people who made pony-threads AND those who participated in them. This lead to starting a war between bronies and the anti-bronies. Eventually, pony boards/forums came out, such as 4chan's /mlp/,
ponychan,
Equestria Daily, etc. Some consider My Little Pony to be one of the worst shows ever, others consider it to be great.
MLP has one of the biggest fandom today, and you can find it everywhere on the internet. We call the fandom bronies, bronies are male fans of MLP. They created many remakes of words, such as
brohoof,
clop, and many others. When approached by a troll/
anti-brony, their primary method of striking back is to "
love and tolerate", which is basically not insulting the troll/anti-brony back, and to simply tolerate their hate.
Example:
Brony 1: Dude, did you check out the first episode of season 3 yet?
Brony 2: Yeah, it was awesome!
Anti-brony: You guys are immature little babies, My Little Pony is for little girls.
Brony 1 and 2:
Love and tolerate. :)
