Coming back here so many years later to see this group so active is surreal 😭 Keep it up guys
I miss the old days when bronies really lived up to the mantra "Love & Tolerance" & accept any type pony art as long as it's wholesome art. Nowadays, the term 'brony' is synonymous with "elitism" & "death threats". If you're a fan of the original 1980s My Little Pony franchise, they'll hate you & send you death threats. (That really happened to thousands of brony users here on DeviantArt a few years back.) If you create pony OCs, they'll hate you & send you death threats. If you enjoyed the G5 MLP movie, they'll hate you & send you death threats. If you create MLP fanart using MSPaint, they'll hate you & send you death threats. If you create MLP fanart using 3D software, they'll hate you & send you death threats. If you produce A.I.-enhanced MLP fanart, they'll hate you & send you death threats. I get hundreds of harassments throughout my years of being a brony on DeviantArt - 90% of them are from bronies & 10% are from furries. None of the death threats ever came from pony-haters or furry-haters. That really shows the present state of the My Little Pony community right now - no more "love & tolerance", only "hate & control".

AI art gets a lot of hate as a whole and while I have never received any death threats, I have been treated like dirt. I do agree with you on the elitism. There are some of us who simply can't draw a straight line without the aid of a ruler but when you go and post a pony made on Bing, a lot of people in this fandom scorn you and bash you. I feel really bad for those who get attacked for one reason or another.
You don't dare share a Bing pony or any other pony created using AI in pony groups on Facebook because you will get attacked. One person told me to "go draw shapes" instead of using Bing to make ponies.
Shows the hypocrisy in this fandom, doesn't it?
Yes, very much so. It seems like the whole "love and tolerance" thing began to die out when the very first thing that happened that caused a rift happened, Twilight's ascension. That was the day "love and tolerance" died.
