The oddest thing to me was: even Bronies. Even Bronies have/had a Nazi problem.

I present, 'Aryanne':

Lol this looks like something the hacker 4chan created as a gatcha for good morning America

You’re surprised that 4chan dwelling furry losers have a Nazi problem?

[–] Forester@yiffit.net 32 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Most furries are very anti fascist. And most of us have jobs in aerospace , IT or other stem fields.

Most of the modern world runs on furries, we're one downed plane headed to yiffcon from the stone age

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Yeah furries are to tech what the bdsm community is to medicine. Can we recover? Maybe but we’re gonna have a real rough time if we lose these people

To be fair, when it's put like that...

I forget the company I keep at times.

Wasn't the whole brony thing started on /b/?

I think; if you dig deep enough in any larger fandom, you are bound to find some neo-nazis. A very loud minority of bronies painted a very large target on the rest of us with these beliefs. Especially because the outrage-fueled media ran off with a half cocked story again...

I still haven't found out whether Aryanne was originally created as a joke or not. Unfortunately it's hard for a brony to really-really hate a cute fictional pone like that, and there are a couple of great stories with her as a character (on the bad guy's team of course).

I of course hate nazis with a passion, but nazi characters in fiction can be a useful vehicle for storytelling under the right circumstances.

Lol wtf??

That still sounds like a Nazi problem to me.

[–] ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A couple of nazis coincidentally being fans of a specific franchise does not constitute a "nazi-problem" within said fandom, in my opinion. I'm pretty sure bronies were quick to shun said individuals. It would only be a "nazi-problem" if that belief was a common trend in the group...

I always found it mind-boggling how some neo-nazis, could somehow identify with a show based around friendship and inclusion. There is some cognitive dissonance there...

If you don't kick the Nazis out immediately, you're a Nazi bar.

Nazi bar story

[–] ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

That anecdote is true, but it's also a bad comparison. You can't really kick someone out of the internet... Or really stop them from claiming association. And like I said they were shunned after their beliefs became clear...

I could have gone my whole life without seeing that.

BetterHelp's new social media sales tactics are pretty intense
