>>4328936As someone who was there in /co/ when the brownies rose, was prosecuted on /b/ and finally found home on /mlp/, you are retarded.
We were invaded by normies when the newspapers where printing "men watch cartoons???" over and over and over, by the time we reached Season 3, 80% of the fandom were retards who wanted to be part of the "we such rebels cuz we wanna watch tiny pastel colored horses lulz" crew, and that shit stayed like that until around Season 5, when news outlets were once again, "men watch cartoons???" and a second wave of normies flooded our gates.
We couldn't gatekeep, as one of the core principles of MLP is Friendship is Magic, so we kinda had to allow the retards into our domain, as keeping them away wasn't very friendship of ours.
We still got some cool shit to. Specially collectibles.
