Why is everyone talking about ponies




















I saw the video of you opening and playing with the toy for your character and her whole palace. We leave a little piece of our heart behind, so yeah, absolutely. That will never not be surreal, for sure. How did this voice process work? Did you ever get to work with any of your co-stars, or were you alone the entire time? Even our directors were in different parts of the world.

We were all there via Zoom. It was definitely a very different experience. Voice-over tends to be quite different than live-action. It was beautiful to watch it all back, as a fan. As a performer, how strange is it to work with directors remotely, in that way? What do you enjoy about the relationship between Pipp and Zipp, and getting to see the dynamic that they share with each other and the dynamic they share with their mother? Pipp is this force. But when they embark on this really beautiful journey, their lives change forever and their friendship changes forever, and they become best friends.

They see each other. My sister is my best friend, and I know that so many girls feel the same way. What was your reaction, the first time you heard the song?

What was it like to record that? That was the goal all along. She wrote two of the biggest songs of the year, with BTS. What has most surprised you about yourself? What I learned about myself is that what fame does and what this world does, is it just heightens everything a bit more, so it makes values and family and having people around you who just truly care about you and you care about them, that much more important.

As a performer, how do you find your own inner confidence? Are there friends or family in your life that give you a pep talk when you need it? Do you give yourself a pep talk when you need it?

But at the same time, performers can be so critical of themselves. I think that confidence has to come from within. How did that happen? What was it about that, that you felt connected enough to, that you wanted to become so involved with it? I actually just drove in this morning September 19, I had two concerts this weekend while filming the movie.

We were capturing content for the movie. What drew me to the story the most was the message. This story is about choosing not to see color and choosing love, above all things, and how a red heart and a blue heart can come together and choose love.

That can change the world in the most beautiful way. And I came on as a writer, as well, for the music. Does that directly fuel a drive to push you even further? I just feel like the luckiest girl in the world. What fuels me the most is those young men and women, and however they identify the fact that they connect to me and I can connect them. I just long to keep doing it. ET on June 23, My Little Pony fans have had a Nazi problem for a long time. That sounds just as strange no matter how many times you say it.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a cartoon television show about friendship, compassion, and a group of magical horses with names such as Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy who live in a fantastical land called Equestria.

Most of these men are white. Some of these men are vocal white supremacists. The brony subculture is about as niche as they come, born in internet forums in the early s, an era when hyper-specific interests were the organizing principle of social media. Others, however, delight in the irony of their fandom. Read: The bros who love My Little Pony. My Little Pony fans primarily express their enthusiasm for the show by sharing their own cartoon drawings of the main characters, which they usually upload to the image boards.

Derpibooru hosts millions of My Little Pony artworks, plenty of which are simple tributes to magic, friendship, and magical friendship. But a substantial number of them are extremely, jarringly violent. An image that I recently viewed on the site depicts a My Little Pony character presiding over three lynchings and one beheading of cartoons drawn to represent various marginalized groups.

For years, this has been the status quo in the world of My Little Pony. In supposed deference to principles of free speech and openness on the internet, the presence of self-described Nazis within a fandom that idolizes compassion-oriented cartoon characters has become a coolly accepted fact. The community has sorted itself largely into two camps: those who think anything goes as long as someone finds it funny, and those who would rather ignore toxic elements than admit that not everything is perfect.

Until now. Even a quick glance at the history of My Little Pony fandom serves as a valuable template for how not to build an online community. The fandom was born on 4chan , the largest den of chaos and toxic beliefs available on the internet. It took off because there is nothing 4chan likes better than things spiraling out of control. But the site still borrowed from the 4chan ethos by billing itself as an archive in the absolutist sense of the word: Everything would be allowed; nothing would be destroyed.
