Last night I re-watched the Bob's Burgers episode where they made fun of bronies and it made me remember just how many of those weirdos there used to be all over the Internet. Did the bronies all go away, did they grow up, or what?

I feel like there could be an anthropological study of that fanbase.

there have been studies about goons

does anyone have links to the brony threads, it would be interesting to see how many are not banned

No poo poo, for whatever reason I was thinking about this last night.

I remember super goddamn annoying furries everywhere, then they seemed to chill out and the worst of them became bronies.

Now they seem to be gone and it's like, where did they go? Those sorts of broken brains don't mend so what did they move on to?

I don't know but consider this, do you really want to know?

Got curious and searched 'brony' on twitter. I got this:

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

They changed the cartoon again and they all hated it or something so it died out

It’s like what happened to game of thrones fans just vanishing off the face of the earth after the wet fart ending

Bronies really seemed to vanish without a trace though.

The GoT fans at least left reminders they existed in the form of a bunch of kids called Daenerys (who no doubt will be getting that changed by deed poll the instant they're old enough), like Dwemer ruins in Skyrim.

Yeah I do some community deep work and bronies definitely still exist. I don't even know what they're watching anymore, like all the cartoons and poo poo have been off the air for at least half a decade right? It takes work to be in that fandom now.

I remember watching a youtube video about this. Basically, the cartoon ended, and without new canon content the cons were running on fumes and collapsed due to internal drama/lack of interest/the organizers moving on with their lives and no one taking up the mantle. With no cartoon or cons there wasn't much left of substance so it just sort of disintigrated.

Well it iself was sorta of a remake. Although really just another movie made from the same source material.

John carpenter himself actually may possibly be making a sequel. He hasn't done a good movie in a while, but if he does have another good movie in him I think that would be it.
