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.
