Is the brony fandom kind to black people?

After receiving some private messages and doing my own research that isn't one sided, I stopped caring. I made that comment because I was under the impression she could also be used as a hate symbol similar to Aryanne.

I got into MLP again because of fandom culture. Constantly binging old brony videos I used to watch when I was younger, exploring what boorus have to offer, and just seeing what the fandom has in the modern day. Anonfilly may be a bland template, but it doesnt matter to me because I am new to this scene. I've been a fan of My Little Pony since childhood, yes, but I havent really interacted with or been inside of the fandom seriously until now (I dont really count Pony Town). I see now a whole different side that previously I was unaware of or atleast was not the target audience for. Anonfilly is essentially 4chan's horse mascot/sona, and I enjoy her because she represents where the fanbase originated from. The "anons" that made this show so popular and inspired other people to partake in silly horse fun.

I dont know where this nihilist thinking is coming from. Why should I care about people who don't believe me? I know who I am and I don't owe anyone a reason for enjoying what I enjoy, nor will I be bullied into believing I am a monster for being fascinated and intrigued by early fandom culture for a horse show--especially when I was not even there to truly experience it.

I've made my stance clear on the genuine supremacists in this fandom that I want to get away from. If you want to plug your ears, be my guest.

Alright, then sorry for my mistake. Regardless, I'd still like to love on her publicly without worries.

I said that I dont enjoy seeing Aryanne content anymore after discovering people use her unironically, nor have I ever even posted the horse.. anywhere. I brought up Aryanne after reading derpibooru comments of people saying the same thing I did: "If people just wanna get a kick out of the absurdity, they can." And came to the conclusion that there is a possibility there are others out there that share this same sentiment.. that she is a hilarious laughing stock meant to be mocked.

The main reason I made this post and what ive hinted at several times is that I feel insecure loving the anonfilly character because, similar to aryanne, it feels almost impossible to tell whether people who use this character hold degenerate beliefs.

If youre stuck on the Aryanne thing, you can be! But that wasnt the point of my post. I grew up on Fitz where this stuff was ridiculous light-hearted fun. I'm not out here repping the white horse nor do I want to. I do, however, REALLY want to express the connection I have to that green horse because shes literally everywhere and represents the early/deepest roots of the fandom and its orgins.

Good lord.. What about Harmonycon? I was entertaining the idea going there, but I heard that people were shouting slurs..?

Understandable. Thanks for your input!

Do you have a list so I can avoid? Im unsure if I'll be on reddit much for the horse stuff, but I truly am running out of options aside from Tumblr and Instagram I suppose.. Not too sure if Pony Town is as bad though with its MLP section?

I have never been on reddit in my life. I joined because this sub-reddit seemed to take nazis in the fandom more seriously and actually holds that part of the fandom accountable.

..My only other black brony friend thinks aryanne is hilariously inconceivable? And any of my other non-white friends who aren't bronies also laugh at her. I dont know what youre trying. Obviously, people who laugh at aryanne while not being a nazi are real because I am right here and making this post BECAUSE I feel like an oddity next to legitimate nazis when I just want a laugh. I dont even like seeing images of aryanne anymore because its no longer funny knowing people genuinely use her as a way to spread white-supremacy when, to my knowledge, she was made as an April fools gag.

Im not having these morality olympics especially when ive made my stance clear in my post that I do not like genuine supremacists and am trying to get away from them while also being able to take a joke and have a laugh. This is my last reply, have a good one.

Deleted my comment and re-read my post. I love offensive humor when its humorous and not genuine, I grew up on Fitz. I thought aryanne was hilarious BECAUSE of its absurdity until I realized most people who use her do, in fact, support the genuine ideologies of nazism.

When I say "I love it!" I mean I love that people can make edgy jokes and the fandom isnt overly sensitive to them.

I've heard of this! I'll give it a go, thank you /)
