Brony Debates - Racism in the Fandom (ft. Peter New & Firebrand)
Added 2020-07-03 02:28:43 +0000 UTCRecently, The Atlantic came out with an article talking about the issue of white supremacy in the brony fandom. Racism in general is a pretty serious issue. But how big of a problem is it really within the brony fandom? And if so, what should we do about it? To help me discuss this issue, I reached out to Peter New and Firebrand - both of which have very interesting takes on the issue. Perhaps we can all learn more together.
