4chan coined the term brony and were among the first to use it unironically. The word was then abused and adopted by others to the point of exhaustion, with thousands of people eventually using it the word got annoying because the overuse of the word from those “more vocal fans” gave it a bad reputation. it therefore became stale and tiresome.  
“brony” has paved the same destiny for all memes originating from 4chan. Please educate yourself.

/mlp/ people are basically bronies. Stop forcefully associating negative attributes with the word “brony,” you are just creating drama.

Derpy came from 4chan.  
Now that’s new.

@JustSomeLurker  
WHY THE HELL CAN’T MORE OF US THINK THIS WAY?!

@Background Pony #8CD0  
Yeah it’s not like that’s where both the fandom and Derpy came from or anything…

That’s really sweet.

I have to respectfully disagree with you two; Octavia is one of my favorites.

@Psychopomf  
…Octavia? I’m cool with that.

See, this is the kind of pandering I’m entirely okay with.
 
…Now we just need the return of the other gray pony to the background. Yeees.

Yep, the writers did pander to the brony community.
 
And there ain’t anything wrong with that.

Pretty much, yeah.

…not inaccurate.
