>>532 >Also,the trends during these years. SU,FNAF, Undertale,Splatoon,Star vs,Zootopia...so many things have come and go
My personal theory on that is because the MLP fandom was fully centered on the "hip" tumblr crowd or the Youtube kids. While most of those other fandoms are usually one, if not both of those groups to some extend espically in the case of Undertale. Sure, always has been some people in these groups who got involved with MLP, but MLP was first and foremost a product of chan culture that had more ties to a pre social media internet paradigm. Our entire fandom is not just centered on the social media feeds of thousands of various things screaming for attention, we have our own websites and gathering places, etc Not to mention having a presence in a lot more off the wall non mainstream places Not being based entirely on social media gave us an edge, as their is a larger group people who stuck with it past it's time in the limelight. Plus, culture wise we are a bit diffirent from those fandoms. It gave us a degree of cultural immunization, as to get fully invested in this fandom often means joining a community off from the main social media sites. Even the most reddit level MLP sites are influenced by chan culture to an extent
