Bronydom

Over the past two years the rising tide of adult male fans of the "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" cartoon has swept upon the shores of the internet. Forums, Facebook, YouTube and pop culture conventions alike have been caught up by bronydom.

Like many other subcultures considered perverse by much of the general public, bronydom has its roots in the infamous website 4chan.org.

Though there are some female bronies (some call themselves “pegasisters”), bronydom — at its core — is simply about just being kind and having fun.
