Commentary: . . . And Then There Were Ponies
13 years ago
A phenomenon I've noticed both here on Furaffinity and on Deviantart has generated much good-natured amusement in our household.
The script runs something like this: BloodWolf666, InvisibleNinjaMan, MisunderstoodAngryTeen, Black-Clad-Goth or similar over-the-top handle has a gallery full of violent, fetishy, angstful, or otherwise not-family-friendly content, perhaps stretching back years.
Then, abruptly, there are ponies. Ponies everywhere. Ponies possibly entirely displacing all other content. Nearly always it is possible to pinpoint the month when the new pony overlords take control; often it is possible to pinpoint the exact date.
That candy-colored magical ponies have this astonishing power to uplift the human spirit is, in my view, a wonderful thing. It does raise an understanding smile, though, to see these hard-boiled or trying-to-be-hard-boiled personalities so completely won over.

In the end. All we want is to be happy. And MLP affords us that happiness deep within ourselves without guilt.
