It’s a thread like this that reminds me of how frickin’ exciting it was to be a brony back in 2011 and 2012. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and it really felt like a tightly wound community. Of course there some bad eggs, but that was quickly overshadowed by everyone’s friendliness.
Even today! It’s just harder to see nowadays on this website.
People like these still make me feel optimistic and glad for being part of this fandom. No matter what the loudmouths of Tumblr have to say about it.
