      @basscannon Historians have never written about any other fandom and we're not some super-special thing.

          @basscannon No. Trust me. We're not special. There have been dozens of other fandoms like ours.

            @redenchilada and we're larger than other fandoms that have challenged stereotypes in the past, like the PPG fandom for example

              @pony Yeah, but we're not doing anything that would really justify much attention accept shoving the ponies down the throats of everyone with eyes or ears

                  @madflavors @redenchilada you're right! We should start a campaign to transcribe the episodes and best fanfics to braille!!

                @redenchilada You like PONIES. You like PONIES. You love them. You love them. You cannot resist PONIES. To resist is hopeless. Your life is meaningless without PONIES.

        @redenchilada the only way we're special is that we challenge masculine stereotypes, but I still think just that is enough to say we're special.

      @basscannon Pop culture commentators aren't real historians. If any "historians" talk about bronies, it'll be on VH1's "I Love the Twenty-Teens." Or whatever the hell we're calling this decade.

              @colfax And then the old holdouts who are still overly mental about the show will brag about being the first fandom to get a metameme made about their own meme, whether it's true or not.
