I remember seeing mentioned around there durring the time some, but I wasn't the most avid lurker. I do believe it did have a real big impact on fandom culture however. As there were a great deal of people who realized the fandom was unfashionable to there interest. They went after the fandom on  a very broad scale and a lot of bitterness was left in everybodies mouth. I do think the memory has faded now, but I remember stuff such as a derpibooru mod openly saying he was glad there was no feminist there and a big predatory attitude towards such thought even in so called "cucked" places. 

I suppose with such things that we offensive to them this would have been inevitable that something would've driven them away. Though honestly I think it could have been different if they had played the cards a little differently. There was a fair bit of in fandom support/open to the idea like pic related. 

It did prevent the fandom from having a large SJW axis within it. Something that I think the fandom could have acquired and would've been normal for a internet fandom with such a large presence on places like tumblr to have. I think it would have bee conceivable that major fadom spots like fimfiction would have found themselves under pressure to have more restrictive rules and what not.  Not to say that even to this day there isn't any sjws in the fandom, but they have never had an organized pull within. The fandom is by no means a right wing fandom, but a fandom that lacks an sjw axis with still a large apolitical axis plus /pol/ tier politics on most of the chans to some extent. 

>  /mlp/ calls EQD and Derpi cucks, but I have also seen comments from there and while some users are more sensible than others, they have adopted mostly the 4chan views without shitposting. 


That is certainly the case for Derpi. 4chan without shitposting perfectly sums up the views of that booru. Equestria Daily is closeted 4chan. The past 3 years they have been trying to clean themselves up a bit and draw more younger fans, but there inner chan still shows up i there blood. We will see if it last if it they continue to pull in a more advertiser friendly direction.

> I sense that youtubers could have got into this as well. I could see that a certain e celb could make the Youtube "brony cloud" get divided. What has happened was the answer to that radical perspective. 


If I remember correctly some did weigh in. Though it wasn't a primary battlefield. There was a couple of rather infamous ones on Pinkiepony's side that I think made some pretty inflammatory videos that did cause some fighting for awhile. 

> At the right time for those season 3 happenings.


Yeah. Equestria Girls and Twily drama for the win!

> Well, that comforts me a little more.


Not to say that the early times weren't fun but for me, and I do stress this is only my perspective, there was a certain existential worry that was consistently in the background. Wasn't sure if all the negativity would cause a bunch to jump ship and the fandom to go in a death spiral. Though there is drama to this day, it never had the same effect to me as all the Twilycorn, Equestria Girls, and Down with Molestia, which had major effects on the culture and attitude of the fandom.
