This is amazing.

Federal agents in Moscow have raided and ended a My Little Pony convention on the grounds that it constituted "gay propaganda." Even painting the animal's mane in the Russian tricolor couldn't save this one. https://t.co/KIv00sKoeN pic.twitter.com/p68hiFCmWm

just to be clear a lot of those "grown men" who were into MLP did in fact turn out to be women because, you know, There Were No Signs. i guess when russia is raiding MLP conventions for spreading "gay propaganda" that's pretty obvious but i do want to say it for the record.

i got a friend who writes genuinely actually good MLP fanfiction. people shit-talk fan-fiction but i respect people who do it well. it's really hard to capture the voice of a character when it's not your character. it's also a good way of getting your writing actually read - people want to read stories about characters they're already invested in. i've tried to write fanfiction occasionally but i'm never really satisfied with the results. (yes i do hold my writing to an unreasonably high standard.)
