>the risk exists obviously but it´s simply that you have a lesser chance to get noticed out there. Also, one would have to read entire paragraphs for a good while. Good luck if they spend time on reading these posts.
That is also true. At least of lower level adversaries that I'd worry about most of all.

>well, if there is something that I have learned from ponyposting is that they soften the discussion a lot, hence /mlpol/ still exists and found an unexpected dynamic with them. So yeah, there is always some kind of entertainment in between the lines.
Ponies make everything better.

>it´s the alternative social media these days, systematically speaking.
Or the anti-social media, depending on how you look at it.

>In theory, one uses anonymity to express more anger and frustrations but what I have seen from certain accounts, they just blow out of the park the usual shitposts you see on 4chan, to the point where one gets to investigate them and could perfectly report it to the police.
>>And let me tell you, I have cringed and seen crazier people around there than the imageboards. Unless we talk about /b/,/pol/ or /tv/, political reactions beat the rest of the boards.
It's ironic, twitter, facebook, youtube and especially discord can have worse stuff going on than 4chan and our little corners of the net considering how it's portrayed in media.

> I am setting myself fire to the public but in 4 years and a half that I´ve stayed in the community, I have not seen that edge or chaos here than on Twitter...in theory bronies are the cringy people. That´s true for the sexual/lewd jokes around random threads and certain autistic reactions that shitposters repeat again and again but most fans filter those emotions through art (ships, OCs, fetishes, etc), the show or fanfiction which is respectable.
Well, as someone who has been in this fandom for nearly... 8 years. I have always wrestled with the question of our public perception. Sometimes we'd be seen as better or worse than furries, if not considered same thing, albeit with a bit more mainstream acceptance/curosity for awhile. We've had some pretty crindgy figures in the past and I still need to do some investigations how dominate some forces in the fandom are/were and there influence, but I think I might agree with you. At least for the latter half of the fandom's existence. That's food for thought for sure.
