The oddest thing to me was: even Bronies. Even Bronies have/had a Nazi problem.
I present, 'Aryanne':
Lol this looks like something the hacker 4chan created as a gatcha for good morning America
You’re surprised that 4chan dwelling furry losers have a Nazi problem?
Most furries are very anti fascist. And most of us have jobs in aerospace , IT or other stem fields.
Most of the modern world runs on furries, we're one downed plane headed to yiffcon from the stone age
Yeah furries are to tech what the bdsm community is to medicine. Can we recover? Maybe but we’re gonna have a real rough time if we lose these people
To be fair, when it's put like that...
I forget the company I keep at times.
Wasn't the whole brony thing started on /b/?
I think; if you dig deep enough in any larger fandom, you are bound to find some neo-nazis. A very loud minority of bronies painted a very large target on the rest of us with these beliefs. Especially because the outrage-fueled media ran off with a half cocked story again...
I still haven't found out whether Aryanne was originally created as a joke or not. Unfortunately it's hard for a brony to really-really hate a cute fictional pone like that, and there are a couple of great stories with her as a character (on the bad guy's team of course).
I of course hate nazis with a passion, but nazi characters in fiction can be a useful vehicle for storytelling on the right circumstances.
Lol wtf??
That still sounds like a Nazi problem to me.
A couple of nazis coincidentally being fans of a specific franchise does not constitute a "nazi-problem" within said fandom, in my opinion. I'm pretty sure bronies were quick to shun said individuals. It would only be a "nazi-problem" if that belief was a common trend in the group...
I always found it mind-boggling how some neo-nazis, could somehow identify with a show based around friendship and inclusion. There is some cognitive dissonance there...
If you don't kick the Nazis out immediately, you're a Nazi bar.
That anecdote is true, but it's also a bad comparison. You can't really kick someone out of the internet... Or really stop them from claiming association. And like I said they were shunned after their beliefs became clear...
I could have gone my whole life without seeing that.
BetterHelp's new social media sales tactics are pretty intense
The fuck!?
