Looking back at it, its kind of wild how for years one of the biggest internet subcultures was adult male fans of my little pony (hexbear.net)

The regular (non-problematic) fandom also never really went away. There are still plenty of MLP related fanfic sites, discord servers, forum sites, subreddits, YouTube creators, etc. out there. It definitely isn’t talked as much about outside of those spaces, but it’s still fairly active.
