and now, with these explanations offered to you, I will continue with the rest:

>There is a subset of the fandom that is devoted to pony and only pony, that isn't weird in itself but when I find various obscure little projects that have been going on for years with only audiences of a few thousand it causes me to raise an eyebrow. When I see some of these people actually making stuff that is high quality then I take a step back. This shit is Serial Experiments Lain fandom tier.
as I say, this stuff is only meant for the fans alone because other won´t have any interest whatsoever. The isolation makes the other fans feel open towards anything related to MLP.

I am posting an extreme example here but think about it as drugs and the drug dealers. Content creators are the ones who deliver the material that fans will enjoy and demand more and more if it turns out to be good. Even if it doesn´t manage to become instantly liked, they will be waiting for more until that fan delivers something entertaining in the meantime. This also happens with fetishes as well, that fetish only appeals to a counted number of people within the fanbase and that little circle will look for more despite its degenerate nature. However, the degenerate argument doesn´t work because as soon as you like MLP and enter into its tentacles, you are viewed as one so...from lost to the river, a brony doesn´t have any fear to go further because there is nothing left to lose in terms of public image between the fans. Not only they experiment for art, the community has traditionally shown a huge passion towards the Sourcefilmmaker of Steam, projects like NASApone or Sweetiebot, fangames or those robotic voices that sound like the actual characters. Experimentation is part of the entertainment while we are waiting for more episodes/comics/official content. This is why those who post green stories are treated religiously as saviors of a thread. Everyone lets the greenfag on /mlp/ to expose its story even if it doesn´t have much quality in it, they have contributed to the fandom by doing that alone.

The drugs are MLP content in any form related to it, the drug dealers are the content creators for any desire that the fans have at any moment. Just that this addiction doesn´t put you in a huge compromise in terms of health, money, legal issues and getting shot when you don´t pay to them. It sounds quite radical but it exposes the behavior towards any fan content in general.
