Off the top of my head:

'Brony' is/isn't alienating to female fans!
I came out as a pony fan, that's just like coming out as gay/trans!
Yay porn/pony porn is evil!
Yay grimdark fics/grimdark is terrible!
Pony porn is/isn't 'furry'!
The toys shouldn't have brushable hair!
Hasbro should cater to us, not children!
Yay writing characters as gay/ nay writing gay/ okay only if it's lesbians!
Shipping!
Best/worst episode/pony/song/fanfic/fanart/ship!
Fan theorizing/ continuity wank!
Background character/brony mascot gets speaking lines, it is/isn't a gross stereotype of mentally disabled people!
Minor character(s) is/isn't a racist stereotype!
The people who think it was bigoted are the real bigots!
Censorship!
Old gens suck, GTFO people who have been in the fandom from the beginning!
Anti-abortion!

...Honestly, I think it'd be more accurate to talk about the pleasant corners of the fandom; the show has one of the wankiest fanbases since Harry Potter.

wow. just wow. and i thought my fandom was bad in terms of wank, lol. i think i'll give the show a try and just steer clear of the fandom lol. thank you for that quite comprehensive list OTL

DA

IMHO, if you just watch the show, you're missing out on all of the amazing fic, art, pmvs, everything that makes watching the show so much better. It's a great show, yeah, but on its own it's... well, not the next Buffy, let's put it like that. You can certainly get enjoyment out of it, but there are far, far many more "pleasant corners" of the fandom than there are wankfests. Equestria Daily is basically the go-to place for all things pony and as far as I can tell is more-or-less wank-free.

(And besides, without fandom to run around with an overactive imagination, Discord would be just another goofy-looking one-off villain who made the main characters sad. And OP wouldn't have had a reason to come up with lots of backstory for xir fic. And my iPod would be filled with really boring stuff instead of Aviators and Glaze and Equestrian battle music (!). And for all that it can have its bad points (the Derpy blowup a few... what, weeks, months? ago comes to mind), the sheer amount of love and tolerance is well worth it.)

MLP fandom seems to be one that uses its show's moral -- "love and tolerance" -- while not really understanding it at all. The Derpy blowup was pretty much where the creepy world of bronies showed its true (very creepy) colors.

Contrary to the above anon, I'm going to encourage you to indeed check out the show and steer clear of the fandom. Huge chunks of the fandom are really gross and horrible and if the show isn't entertaining without reading about ponies raping each other (this is a huge thing for some reason???) or whatever then, well, you probably don't really like the show, do you?

For what it's worth, it's a cute little cartoon and I've watched a good few episodes of it and I still find its "fandom" truly baffling. It's exemplary as a show for little girls, but as far as its universal appeal goes it doesn't really have anything that almost every other cartoon that exists these days doesn't. Make no mistake, it's still very much for children.

Honestly my best memory from the fandom comes from a fanfic called cupcakes. The fandom flipped out over this fic saying that it portrayed Pinkie Pie as a psychotic killer.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, it does... but if that's your best memory then you should really, really read this: http://zaptiftun.deviantart.com/art/The-Light-in-the-Darkness-257019544?

It's an alternate ending to Cupcakes that's possibly one of the most heartwarming fics in the fandom. If Cupcakes is the worst of the fandom, then this completely cancels it out.

AWWWWWWWW!!!!!! That was so flippin adorable!

[(Anonymous)]

That's the sweetest fic I've ever read, and it's completely IC too!

[yunho.livejournal.com]

lmao omg can i ask for the link to that? now i'm really curious!

[(Anonymous)]

Just Google "mlp Cupcakes". It's pretty infamous. You should get the EqD or TV Tropes page within the first few hits.

Anti-abortion!

...normally I'd ask, but this fandom has enough trainwrecks as it is.
