>it seems like that the are an exception to the rules of that I see on most websites these days, either being stuck in the era that they were first made and or modern web design = minimalist and trendy design choices that you heard being shilled in cooperate circles.
the oldest web design that this fandom has.....is ironically /mlp/. Fanfiction.net has almost 20 years on its back and it´s still got the same old design. FiMfiction looks like a proper website designed after 2007 or so and it shows.

>What initially cast the dividing line between us and the other fandoms that arose afterword was in my oppinion a massive shitstorm over a blog called ask Princess Molestia, it was an edgy blog about an alternative fan persona of the character Princess Celestia. It was really more of "lol, this character is sex crazed" then rape and it didn't even go fully NSFW on top of that , but the SJW's freaked out and launched a campign against it.
I knew this influenced the fandom as well and I was aware of it but I left it to you because you had witnessed that shitshow in 2013. I could only catch the numbers and statistics of 2015 but with the Molestia drama, it shows that the fandom didn´t get that bored internally.

>Our fandom I wouldn't call a right wing fandom by any means, but it is one of the least left wing ones. Large apolitical but slightly non sjw left wing axis that is extremely permissive plus several right wing leaning smaller axis/subgroups. At least that's what it is now after most of the tumblr folks finally left.
yep, basically it´s what the fandom currently is.....and I prefer that in a way
