>>86760191>2009 and 2010That's weird, considering FiM didn't start until the end of 2010, with the first con for that generation being in 2011.
>>86758712I feel like by the time it became big enough, all the jokes would have been made already. I mean what can you say about it that hadn't been said before? It's hard to make the same joke of "Lol, adults are watching this?" for 21 minutes.
That said, it would be really funny if it paralleled how 4Chan saw the community; with some people (parents) enjoying it, some people getting extraordinarily (parents) angry about it, and the rest (the kids) not giving a shit and wondering why it causes so much of a fuss.
Unfortunately the joke would be lost on well adjusted people that don't browse 4Chan, or spend unhealthy amounts of time on the internet.
