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.

That still sounds like a Nazi problem to me.

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

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...
