The Last Bronycon: a fandom autopsy

When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn They will stare unbelieving at the last Bronycon When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn In the distance hear the laughter of the last Bronycon I'm alive, I'm alive When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn Look and see her how she sparkles, it's the last Bronycon

That woman who says "Please exit the emergency exit, every pony!" is really doing her job.

The girly stereotypes: environmentalist, teacher, rollerskater, circus clown, volcanic sacrifice. The five types of girls.

"In their absence, the Brony fandom was swallowed up, vored, if you will, by the furies." Hands down the best line of the video.

"A highly intelligent group of heterosexual males" got me real good

"It's a little cringey but most fun things are." Might be the most profound statement of our time

Jenny revealing that she was "horse famous" and that she contributed to a large portion of brony fan culture is like that Darth Vader twist before it became iconic in pop culture.

You rescued that pillow from a fate worse then death.

We need an internet deep dive about who the Jenny Nicholson impersonator was

"In fact, they're a highly educated heterosexual group of males". Even without the context that's one of the funniest dead-pan deliveries I've heard. 53:15

“Please make your way to the emergency exit, everypony!” Is not a sentence I thought would actually exist

36:35 imagine being these guys you put so much effort into making this ROBOT based on an inside joke and you have no idea the actual voice actress is RIGHT THERE i hope they've seen this video

"You would have some Applejacks left over" Not on my watch. Literally my fav character, I even scraped off her silhouette on my wooden wardrobe with a needle, so that I could see her every time I woke up and get motivated to start another day. I was pretty insane

Jenny roasting 4chan while sitting next to a Twilight Sparkle body pillow is a power move.

sometimes you just gotta throw an "everypony" into everyday conversation and deal some psychic damage

I was always SO happy interacting with the Brony fandom as a little girl. I LOVED attending cons, I would always take pictures with adults in full cosplay, and they’d draw my clumsily made OC for me for free while having nice, innocent conversations about the show with me. I felt surrounded by friends. I met several “horse famous” people who were, with one exception, SO incredibly kind to me, and it meant the world to me as the weird, mentally ill, autistic, often outcast kid at school. In fact, Jenny, you and your friend made a significant contribution to that. I had made a very, VERY poor, clumsy attempt at a Derpy cosplay and I attended a FiW panel at Fiesta Equestria in Houston, Texas. I had worked so hard on it, and though it was poorly made, I got so many compliments, including several from y’all, who were so so cool and funny in my little eyes. You guys said I looked like an angel, and I didn’t get compliments like that outside of family often. So, despite all of the weird shit and the harmful impacts I later realized exposure to the worse parts of the fandom had on my brain, I’m still very grateful to the fandom, to YOU, for that. Thank you, everypony <3

As a kid who was the President of my schools My Little Pony Fanclub from 1989-1992, the mockery of my beloved "old school" ponies breaks my heart :'(

"Jenny, a horsegirl?" i say, as i stare at the horse-shaped shelf in the background.

“They came from 4chan” sounds like a horror flick

love revisiting this one. "shadow the hedge hog boys" fucking kills me everytime
