Except we have bronies defending bronies for simply being bronies. Plus I don't think in even Harry Potter fandom we had people defending real life rapists. Not to my knowledge anyway. Even if HP fandom at its height maybe helped boost fandom wank in general to the stratosphere as the internet was kicking things up a notch.

Brony is also really an optional term, and while it's sad it's been tarnished for those GOOD bronies out there, it's well... optional to associate yourself with this. If you don't want to be associated with these types of people you either order a mass campaign to kick them out or just call yourself a fan. Or maybe both.

I have never claimed that there aren't shitty people who call themselves bronies, just that calling oneself a brony, or just being a fan of the show, doesn't inherently make you shitty.

And I'm all for challenging the acceptance of rape culture, but do I have to bring up the topic any time I use the word "brony?"

I don't even use the term for myself very often. Kind of wish there was a gender-neutral one (as opposed to "brony" and "pegasister.")

I get that, and that it sucks, but in the end- it's really the shitty bronies fault. Brony automatically for many brings to mind incidents like this or things which while less insiduous are still kind of terrible. It brings to mind hypocrisy and a fandom which makes HP and ATLA fandoms look good sometimes. Bronydom itself has sort of almost become a sub-culture and it either encourages or tries to ignore such behaviour a lot of the time it can seem. I mean yeah fandom is supposed to be an ESCAPE from real life but when a significant or at least loud part of the fandom is helping to perpetuate those very things many try to escape from- what can people do? They're going to be wary of self proclaimed bronies- at best we can only assume they are ignorant of such behaviour in order to protect ourselves and our friends online from harassment. But people are going to be wary when the holders of an entirely optional term treat others terribly and they run into someone else with the same entirely optional term. The only way forward for bronies if they wish to save their name is to accept no excuses- as a whole, they must run out those bad eggs and any who defend them. Love and tolerance only goes so far.

Personally I once wanted to call myself a brony (though I was often told not being a guy I couldn't be) but in the end... yeah. The behaviour was something I didn't want to associate myself with. So I call myself a fan really.

This!

(some people say "brony" is a gender-neutral term but I prefer not to use it for myself since I'm female...but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, my friends who are bronies? don't have anything to do with the fucked up subculture everyone is talking about and they shouldn't be stigmatized just because some people can't bother to separate bad apples from the rest of the barrel. Even if there's a higher proportion of bad apples than usual, the point stands.)
