My little pony friendship is magic

The little pony fan base is a whole different kettle of fish.  The fanbase has slip into two as conflict arises due to change to what they believed to be the more important part of the fandom. The original fandom is mostly female with the main focus being on the toys calling themselves collectors. The new fandom calling themselves “Bronies” they are a mostly male fandom focus on the brand new animated series.

The original fandom begins in the 80’s with the toys with toy collector and the little girls who played with the toys growing up to become collector themselves or toy customizer. Buying the toys just to modify them then taking their one of a kind original to conventions to sell or show off their work. Before the internet this fandom like most fandom before the internet they rarely meet up outside conventions they rarely meet up and only social in very small groups and only shared ideas.

The new fandom not only took the internet community by surprise. But too completely took it by storm invading ever large base online community. YouTube, memebase  Plus setting up websites for themselves like ponychan and equestria daily. People argued that the brony don’t represent a real fandom because they reject the source material creating their own fandom by cutting off the older fanbase.
