Usage notes
[edit]Due to various controversies, such as prominent members of the brony fandom being members of alt-right or fascist groups, or hostility towards feminists and minority fans, some progressive-aligned or leftist fans of MLP:FiM use the terms "pony fan", "MLP fan", "My Little Pony fan" instead of "brony".
