Yeah the thing is with eqd there was only a few things that caught my interest (at least with music sent to eqd) not as much as the earlier stuff until from 2016 or 2017 but yeah I agree that there is at least some fresh content being sent to eqd idk about content not sent to eqd and I agree with the lack of content from the g1 fandom but I kinda consider a fandom as dead if there is lack of content and I fail to see how the g1 fandom as thriving creatively

I once thought that the brony fandom is dead and not much good content was coming to the point that I gave up and didn't think the state of the brony fandom didn't matter. Than I seen that a few days ago there was the finale of one of the best collaborative series to come out of the brony fandom doors 3 shows that there's still good content coming out of the fandom other than the fanfiction and art parts of the brony fandom

if anybody been keeping up to date with fngr channel you might know that he just did a video picking on patch heart and what he refers to as "Not true Victims" in his latest how not to brony videos

oh i forgot another one which is midnight chimes

that's probably because he's part of the secret rift like british ninja and i guess there are 3 or 4 rifts according to him there's even a youtube channel called the rift cafe

he is a brony analyst just lie sliver quill and dr. wolf he even was part of a dr. wolf video just look up "fornogoodreason dr. wolf" and you will find it and with the last two fimflamfilosophy analyst series i don't really consider it part of the actual mlp analyst youtubers with how it's as much a parody of the mlp analyst community as is the mlp mentally advanced and rainbow dash presents series are parody of fim itself and same thing with dwk's totally legit recap in the same way as the everything wrong with mlp episodes series is not a parody not a actual analyst video material i would only consider silver quill and dr. wolf as actual mlp analyst youtubers along with the 4 i have listed but the thing with fngr i don't really consider him as great as lily peet and vida at being a mlp analyst youtuber imo

while looking for better youtubers than fngr i have found some great videos to help me feel better after finding out about the shitstorm in this fandom mad maunchkin: fob equestria: commando solo:

yeah i should've reworded what i said but at this point i seriously don't even care

decayed would be a better term than dead since it would be more out of the mainstream and more underground with how irrelevant it will become look at how irreverent ppgd is and still going on after the show ended

imo it don't matter how many new members there are and how many old members leave it all matter on the rate of new members joining and the old members leaving is what matter and if the rate of old members leaving are higher than before 2015 and new members joining is lower after 2015 than that's how i think it's a decaying fandom with less fan content after 2015 you know you can't be too optimistic not too pessimistic that's my view of everything and everyone in the world both irl and online as i mentioned the rate of members joining and leaving matters than when a member joins or leaves from my perspective and affects the amount of fan content yeah you seriously are too pesstistic to have that kind of perspective i agree

yeah i have seen some of that on youtube and deviantart but i care more about mlp:fim just like you with being my main fandom and don't really as much attention to sonic and undertale as mlp:fim probably just rumors and exaggerations because it seemed that brony community was very active content-wise than started to die down around 2015 with most of the fan content being made during the first half decade of mlp:fim existing i am a dedicated fan i just been away from it for a few years and it seems the fandom became a shitstorm around 2017 but the rate of new fans have declined since 2015 but i am just very conflicted joining as late as i did and idk about the thomas fandom since i seriously don't even pay attention to thomas the train with how i grew out of it yeah i kinda have a regret of being out of it or at least less active for a year or 2 after joining the fandom being more active in the rock music community online

which was the whole reason i made this thread to bring bronies together and discuss the current state of more the fandom than the show itself since i see it the fan work is what keeps the fandom a flout not the show itself but yeah i guess decayed or decaying would've been a better word than dead that's the whole reason automatic jack left youtube and ended his music career because he felt his fans cared more about the show than his contributions to the fandom since i have him as my online friend on discord & twitch so i did'nt meant it to be taken the wrong way it just since 2015 there's been too much negative stuff sure the show is good and all but imo the fan work is what's important for me not the show itself so on i both agree and disagree at a certain extant pretty much i have a very one-sided opinion that's probably unpopular within the brony community wow really i been around since late 2015 around september so it's been 3 years for me ok yeah i usually exaggerate everything like in the graphic novel by marjane satrapi called persepolis where the family loves to exaggerate which explains why you gave me the wrong impression yeah i have seen that with most 2000's cartoons and anime i grew up with on cn, nickelodeon, and disney channel during my childhood and my teenhood but i guess the reason why mlp:fim because it's was the cartoon that gave me as big of a escape from reality compared to other cartoons also with how different it was with how hasbro dealt with slice of life compared to cn, nickelodeon, and disney channel and probably better than most slice of life anime don't undertale,fnaf, and sonic fandoms have that kind of activity?

wow it seems you are the only like-minded brony that have replied and is very supportive of me without giving me advice that conflicts me ty i am just very conflicted right now about the current state of the brony community and nobody else as open-minded as you did'nt make me more conflicted unlike the other's who have replied to this thrend but not as much at a rapid rate as before like as said in the video that's what i meant by it being a dead fandom with how it's decaying not that there aren't anymore fan content just not as much like look at ppgd that's the best ppg fan work that i find very enjoyable other than some of the nsfw content that i found enjoyable of ppg i do not mean it in a offensive way i mean it as in people who have autism not as people who are mislabeled with autism since i have autism myself yeah idc for the sonic satam fandom and yes ik the fandom is still a thing so is star trek and star wars but there's not really a cartoon that i do care about that has grown as big as and as widespread as mlp:fim with how much fan content there is but that rate of brony celebs leaving the fandom as in no longer making mlp:fim content has increase a lot over the last few years like the only brony rock musician that have grown as big as a adience but is still around making pony-related content is princewhateverer yes but most bronies at least on poniverse websites don't realized it yes ik but i care more for the gen 4 part of the fandom than the brony hippie since i am a normie brony i agree but i kinda agree with what one of the admins said about the decine starting around 2015 not really 2010-2014 since that was when most of the best episodes were made imo sorry i kinda disagree since i believe nothing is impossible unless nobody is willing to change things but it seems currently nobody is willing to change things right now other than a few people it might not matter to most bronies but the minority do care deeply for the state of the brony community not the majority

you might be right you might be wrong we don't know because we can't predict the future yeah but there once was alot more mlp-related content and it's dead for those who cares more about the mlp:fim unoffical/fan content than the show itself i am just giving my perspective on the decline of the brony community from a late bloomer brony pov and that ignorance ain't the answer for me especially with the fact that i also have anxiety and bipolar and adult adhd

yes i understand but i feel i am the only one that cares enough that i put how i feel about it to tell others that this isn't mortally right this is not what the staff of mlp:fim wanted i care more about the fandom than the show unlike most bronies who come to this forum to feel better i am concerned and feels betrayed not bemoaning anything especially with how people kept on saying it's not dead if it's not dead none of this stuff would of happen so you are both right at a certain extant and wrong at a certain extant because i am a normie alt-anarchist who was giving me good faith now all it gives me is hatred for being around people that don't truly care for the mlp:fim community have you even watched the whole video before giving your full thoughts and replying to me?

somebody has just joined the brony fandom because of how it's dead right now to the point that this brony youtuber named forgotten dreams left the brony fandom and it upsets me that nobody will do anything about it this fandom was once the perfect fandom for autistic people now it's not

yeah ik it's just i am very confused with the internet and the brony community right now it happen with all my favorite cartoons from my preteens as well as others that started afterwards oh ok mlp is my main fandom community right now before it was mostly random anime and video games and did'nt really had a fandom i was very active socially online like the brony community also with me being more into alt metal and alt rock than other music genres especially with green day being my favorite band and ozzy osbourne being my favorite singer which explains why me and among others was dwelling and are still dwelling on the past of the brony fandom because of being so confused and unaware of the direction the fandom been heading towards since i joined the brony fandom around 2015 and why there are less brony musicians than in it's hayday and thinking those of us who joined around and/or after these events happened joined the fandom too late or something like that? that's also might be the reason my favorite brony internet radio station wonderbolt radio(mostly because it was the only rock-focused brony radio station i knew about) don't really exist anymore?

i feel like some sort of brony outcast as well for not being one of the original members of the brony community and i think i might be what some considered as emo for being a stan who is a indie kid

yeah but there are also bronies who are grammer nazis and i don't really understand what tldr means as much as somebody who is a extrovert since unlike most bronies i have a internet addiction so the bronies just telling me that the brony fandom ain't dying from a insider pov ain't helping since i never really was big into bulletin boards like 4chan, 8chan, and ponychan mostly social media and forums as well as video streaming websites like youponies and youtube and when i ain't very active in a fandom as in not getting into much of the official and fan content it worries me with how i have social anxiety i am not like one of those bronies who understand when somebody says take something with a grain of salt more like ihe idk who to believe and who not to believe social media feels like it's entirely different than bulletin boards which is why i have a lack of understanding of how the internet works with social networking and everything else on the internet i don't even understand what a flame war is other than it's some sort of war on the internet so in a way i am kinda a newbie even though i been using social media since i was around 13 years old so i need somebody who knows more about bulletin boards than me to explain why i had a nervous breakdown after watching a video brony 4chan horror stories on youtube so this is more from a young adult brony who is entering their 20s who is on their laptop the majority of the time pov especially since i don't know what is a trustworthy source within the brony community or not that's exactly i feel about mlp:fim which is why i am afraid that the next mlp cartoon is going to end up worst than fim oh and i forgot that i was one of those parents who was sheltered by one or two of your parents which i think it was my mother who sheltered me or was it my lack of understanding mortality since i joined the brony community since i was one of those shy teenagers who believes everything in pop culture is true or real or whatever which i still do believe somethings in pop culture is true but not everything also i have'nt been reading much books lately and mostly fanfics online like on websites like fimfiction but than there is the fact that i am not sure if creepypastas are real or not and thought of them like urban legends but urban legends that comes from websites on the internet so pretty much my mind been everywhere with overthinking alot of things with the brony community than there is the fact that conventions like trotcon is expensive also i am not really dependent on myself but more on the people around me like family and friends does that mean i am going though a mental crisis right now? also the fact that i never really been so honest with myself do i need mental help or no?

@Lambdadelta i agree i haven't really been this socially active online within a specific community before i joined the brony community or as some would say join the herd which is one of the reasons i went from being very active on social media from facebook to twitter to twitch and finally youtube in chronological order and american public schools are more interested in getting the highest test score than actually helping children learn what needs to be learned in a world where social media is a big thing i should know since i was a senior when i joined the fandom and spelling ain't as great as most people in this brony community same with my writing i can only do print yet my writing can be unreadable for some people while others it is readable which i don't know if i am as some people put it a attention whore or i just love socializing with other people on the internet mostly the brony community than somebody who is against the brony community because i think a attention whore is somebody who actually trying to look cool around their friends which i am not i am just trying to be myself and like more down to earth brony youtubers like fornogoodreason compared to a christian brony youtuber like dr. wolf which is why i am not a fan of pewdiepie and markiplier and am a fan of cobanermani456 with pewdiepie and markiplier they seem like a total joke with their youtube videos so i think i created this thread for some venting rather than just finding other ways to help with how worried i am with the brony community with the fact that there might be antifa members in the brony community which is what i think is what vice refers to as pony nationalism so i might be more alt-right than alt-left pretty much i have the same mindset as antony c with the brony community and when i see so much hatred against bronies on youtube it upsets me more than most bronies as much as it upsets pinkie pie when ponies aren't giving her attention so i use the same tactics as anti-bronies to make them to stop annoying me not just take stuff as some bronies say with a grain of salt when the majority of the fandom among with those who are'nt bronies are against me who enjoys the show if what it is and not care what others think of me pretty much being the exact opposite of love and tolerate because of how it's overused in the brony community and with being against montothism with how closed-minded some monotheists are who acts like if you don't believe in one deity you are evil or something that is what i see in mlp a exact opposite of monotheism and more polytheism since i am a all-around pagan like the ancient romans in a anti-elitist kind of way which is why i don't like most western cartoons that came out since 2010 than mlp gave me hope that there are at least a few western cartoons that are still as great as western cartoons from the 2000s like tuff puppy and rwby and flash animated franchises from newgrounds like the madness combat franchise and the fan content of madness combat

@Mystic Brush & @meck-can-ik pony pretty much sums up my pov of the brony community as well as this these videos since i don't really want to go to any conventions especially ones around my area like trotcon around the capital of ohio which is columbus, ohio and since i heard about the toonkritic scandal i fear something bad will happen to me at a convention near northeastern ohio or inside northeastern ohio if my father or grandfather ever takes me to a convention with the fact that there could be somebody that is creepy at the convention that could take advantage of me and that the brony community is more dangerous that what i thought it would be

oh yeah i seen you mentioned that in other similar threads but the reason i am more concerned because of the effect on the brony rock music community with not as many big relevant brony rock musicians a few being princewhateverer, skybolt, and the l-train and people leaving isn't the problem it's more with the change of music landscape for the brony community with there being way more brony electronic musicians and few less brony musicians of other genres
