Who is the leader of the fandom?

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578]

Tara Strong? If there was ever a "leader" for the Bronies, it'd be her.

[JaytheMeh 62]

Well in my opion it would be LARSON!  Sorry every time i type or say LARSON i do it loudly.

[Roketsune 388]

We don't have a leader?! How are we supposed to overthrow the government and start a worldwide revolution if we have no leader? I have ample experience in military strategy and tactics, as well as being an obnoxious blowhard, so I suggest you all elect me Overlord or something so we can get this party started.

NO THIS IS A DEMOCRACY NOT A DICTATORSHIP!! No jk there is probably a pony somewhere in a bunker who is leader of all bronies/pegasisters.

[FlutterSleep 39]

Leader? Fandoms don't really have leaders, leaders are more reserved for groups working towards a common goal, with the leader giving orders, organizing meetings and such.

[Tapfire 92]

I believe very strongly that a "Leader" as such would split the fandom, and find the very idea distasteful.

[Roughshod 719]

The nature of this fandom and most in general precludes a position of genuine and effective leadership in any meaningful way. Certain personalities do stand out depending on the criteria you're using and who you ask. Even the structure of this forum evinces that to some degree.

 

Leader = All of us that are part of this fandom.

That or MA Lason.

Indeed. Although seeing this come from an Administrator does come off as somewhat ironic. Your position in this forum does necessarily entail some amount of authority over others, even within limited context and boundaries it's still there. I don't bring this up because I disagree with the concept of any structure(in believe it's necessary in a forum this large) only that your place of speaking seems contradictory to the vague spirit of equality in your comment.

Tara Strong? If there was ever a "leader" for the Bronies, it'd be her.

More of a celebrity than a leader.

We have lots of celebrities bit no true leaders with far reaching power and influence. Unlike a country or political movement being a brony on the internet has little boundaries or restrictions. If someone says I'm not a 'true' brony they're entitled to their opinion but it doesn't really affect me in any way besides having a disagreement.

 

If you wanted to place someone as the leader of this you would have to seriously restrict the nature of the community as well as the qualifications of being a parybof it. Much more strict and hierarchical standards would need to be put in place and some sort of binding philosophy or creed to give the community identity and purpose to distinguish it and establish rules of conduct. Sounds fun right?

I don't know why this is still being discussed; I already accepted the position.

Can we nominate people? I nominate Yttrium for lead brownie.

This isn't a religion, an organization, or any sort of group with a common goal. It is a gathering of people who are connected by the theme of My Little Pony. A community in which this show serves as a backdrop and the only thing these people have in common. Because of that, you get far too many different types of people who all like different things. No one person could hope to unite them under such a flimsy premise. The concept of a fandom having a leader is silly.

 

I'm aware this thread is supposed to be a joke, but as it is in Sugarcube Corner rather than in any of the less serious sections (like Forum Lounge), then I'm answering it seriously.

What was that about brownies? 

[Scootaloodle 1,622]

@ and @@Overdrive are the fandom leaders

[ButterKingPyromaniac 86]

Lauren Faust may have created us but the leader is none other then Hasbro! (As long as they keep making the show.)

[Not Yellow Diamond 925]

Guys, it's me. Go ahead and bow down right now  

 

No, it's like parliament which i probably spelled wrong... but yeah, like parliament... a very, very large parliament. There is a group that leads and those who follow although those who lead may not be known, they still lead. So... you can't say anyone even comes close to saying they lead the fandom.... unless it's me. Which you can always vote me in  

 

"As leader of this fandom I promise free wifi to all!"

 

(See, I'm a politician so I can lie like that)

[NullAccount 287]

Tara Strong is the self-proclaimed queen of the bronies, so probably her. ooBrony could be because he spreads happiness and good cheer throughout the fandom.

[Roketsune 388]

I'm the leader. My next decree is... all of you will do a ponified reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg. Either that or bring me food. I hate leaving the house and I'm lazy.
