Just realized that MFF last year pulled in THIRTEEN THOUSAND and some odd attendees like holy shit the fandom has exploded in size even since like.... 2016 I feel as if when I was first getting into it, I felt like furry content was still a pretty big niche on the internet but now we're at the point where brands have openly tried to co-opt the fandom as a market to sell to

#im watching jenny nicholsons video on the last bronycon #and like the last one and the most attended bronycon pulled in a little above 10k attendees #and the fandom was big enough to basically entirely dominate the decisions friendship is magic made #Im morbidly and cautiously excited to see where the fandom goes in the next like #idk even 5 years #i dont mean to sound like a scrooge or a gatekeeper but oh my god if the fandom goes mainstream im killing myself #I do not want this little queer niche of the internet where me and all my autistic trans friends feel authetically safe to become like #just some other hobby theres an isle for in your local joannes thats really empty in its lack of interest in the art #its just about cashing in on people who like making that art and it does it at a steep fucking premium
