EDIT: Having now picked this back up, I am aiming to have it out around the time Season 4 airs (November). Please continue sending your findings my way for inclusion!
EDIT: Over 80 different individuals have already contributed. More are welcome.
I've been requested to write an article on sexism against females within the "Friendship is Magic" fandom. Specifically, I will be looking into how males 'control' the fandom and how females tend to be marginalized. If you are female and have ever felt oppressed, put down, alienated or anything similar in the My Little Pony fandom, and you would like to be part of a journalistic article on the issue (anonymously), then I would like to know your story. Perhaps you've been told you can't be a brony if you're female? Or, perhaps, you dislike how the media constantly refers to bronies as males?
If you have anything you would like to contribute, send me a note entitled 'Essay' and provide whatever information you feel comfortable in giving.
I frequently received questions for my 'Brony Advice' column from females in the fandom who felt victimized in one way or another by males. I wish to see how this oppression is manifested in real cases, in the hope of drawing a conclusion based on reasoned evidence. Drop me a note if you'd like to be involved.
Thanks!
!!DeviantArt announces it is REMOVING all AI art!!
DeviantArt is REMOVING all AI artwork and is 'going back to its roots', according to its Chief AI Officer. In a statement issued today (1 April 2024), DeviantArt's Chief AI Officer Cuddlepug said: "We have listened to feedback from our sixty-or-so still-active users and the message is loud and clear: you want us to remove AI artwork from the website. We are going back to our roots, empowering artists to develop their skills and learn from one another. No machine learning or algorithms in sight. Doesn't that sound peachy? "To be honest, we only introduced AI on the platform as an April Fools joke back in 2022, then we kind of forgot how to remove the functionality so just went with it. But a smart coder has worked this out for us, so we will now be removing ALL AI art." The changes will come into effect from tomorrow (2 April 2024). All AI artwork on the website that has been uploaded will be removed. Tools such as DreamUp AI Art will also be discontinued. Cuddlepug added:
Giving away CORE MEMBERSHIP for FREE!! Holy shit!!
Drop a comment below if you'd like free Core membership. If I've gifted you it before, sadly DA won't let me again. However, if you've never had Core from me, I can give you it with fragments. There will be no questions. Are there any questions?
Say 'aye' if you're still using this website!
Say 'aye' if you're still using this website! Don't be shy, I won't judge you.
Hey DA, STOP asking me to 'greet' SHIT AI accounts
Is anyone else getting this automated bullshit? 'Hi Cuddlepug, reach out to this latest AI clown creating bullshit non-art'. What kind of 'feedback' do you want me to give them? 'Amazing, you clicked a few buttons and entered some prompts! Aren't you talented?' These people are complicit in turning this website into a fucking graveyard of low-effort bile. Any words I have for them begin with 'fuck' and end with 'off'.

Like a lot of adults in the fandom, I'm a Brony. You automatically think I'm a male right? Wrong. I'm a female. I hate the term pegasister. I've often had jerks on the internet say "you can't be a brony because you're a female. You're a pegasister".
Lauren Faust herself said that Brony is a gender-neutral term. Therefore a female can call herself a Brony if she wants to.
I will call myself a Brony. We are in 2015, I would have thought that Sexism would not be a thing anymore.
