Visual Analysis: Advent of the Ponypocalypse
Okay, bronies. We get it. My Little Pony is here to stay. It's one of our biggest articles, usually takes up most of the space in the trending photos panel, and just WILL NOT GO AWAY.
Not that I would ever want so much love, peace, and unity to leave our site.
In fact, I like it. I would even say that it's been here for quite a while, in an earlier form. Rainbows, ponies, sparkles, and the like have been meme-fodder for some time. Perhaps the recent pony craze is just the crescendo of everybody's innate love for all things colorful and wholesome. Yes? No?

@dragonfree97: I'd have to imagine it would be because of the excessive rate at which they are posted pretty much drowns out all of the other memes. Anybody looking for ponies knows where to look, and everybody (and everypony) is already aware of just how big MLP:FiM is at this point, so posting ponies to Trending photos is unnecessary. It's really more to draw your attention to newer or lesser known (but growing) memes that people might also find interesting.
Plus if I had to give an estimate, I'd say that more than 20% of the pics posted of ponies are re-posts of pics already posted at least once or twice before.

Why're pony images no longer in the trending photos section?

it makes complete sense, turning something with girl/ gay connotations and along with the anonimity of the internet, rainbows, unicorns and what have you will be played off/ parodied as kickass/ awesome/ cool
quiet fascinating how psychology works when the factors are right isn't it?

Really not understanding the conflict here.
Two people can like different foods, ok.
two people can like different art, yup.
two people can have different sexual preferences and still get along.
now how is it someone can be this angry about a childrens show.
Wait wait… best part…
Its on the Mother F%&#ing INTERNET!
The internet is about as capricous as you could possibly get.
angry about a meme being popular. Wait 1 maybe 2 years it will probably evolve into something else or go away completely!
Patience my children, all shall soon become quiet eventually.

Dude… chill out… sure us bronies may be all over this site but offending isn't what alot of us are trying to acheive. Yes its a show which is intended for the 6-12 year old demographic, yes we all look like idiots in our fandom… but its taught a great deal of people to be nice.
Sure, there are still heaps of bronies that are wankers, and we may seem obnoxious at times, but we are worlds above the actual trolls whose sole purpose is to make everyone around them's life a living hell, or those justin bieber fans who ungraciously attack anyone who even scoffs at his very image.
If you go on ponychan and see most of the troll raids during the early part of its existence(though from what I've seen in later troll raids is much different) you notice that many of us just do not care. And it worked. If you don't like it, just ignore it.
