Ah, the Bronies! I was never in the Brony mines myself, but it was so prevalent on the internet in the early 2010s, that you kinda just couldn't escape it. I swear that anyone who was a brony in 2011, is now either a trans woman, or a neonazi, with very little in between.

I don't exactly wish we could go back to what the internet was like back then, because the casual bigotry was genuinely awful. But I do miss the creativity, and disdain for corporate encroachment, that seemed to permeate the web back then.
