@vcgriffin You're right, there's definitely a clear conflict of interests in terms of how we define the term, which is probably because even the term "brony" is already incredibly connotative. I don't align with the prospect of "brony culture" as an extension of the term "brony", which as I discussed in my previous post is really more of a contrived identity complex than an actual method of engagement with media. I certainly agree with your sandpit analogy too, e100 was very clearly submissive to that prospect of "brony culture", which has sort of become an entirely separate mentality of viewing the show. @thelastgherkin made a great post here http://rainbowdash.net/notice/3940825 about demographic that I think really rings true for this conversation.
