mlpartconfessions:

I mean, I know the show was intended for children and younger women, I guess I just didn’t expect there to be so large a following of female artists in a fandom pretty much brought up by male influence.

I’m surprised to find out that most of the blogs I follow are run by women. Some of them even do hardcore smut! That’s just so out there for me. To think, 10 years ago, you’d be hard pressed to find a consistent female artist on the web; now they’re everywhere.

I think the MLP fandom has not just helped, as many have claimed, to break down gender boundaries for men, but for women as well. It’s made them… more bold, you could say. It’s probably produced more artists these past two years than anything else has in over a decade.

Though, there’s such a thing as “too bold”… and now here comes my confession within a confession. This goes for both men and women: nobody wants to hear your burping or farting over livestream. It’s funny once when unexpected, but quickly loses its comedic value.

As comedian Rodney Carrington once said, “If you fart in a porno movie, it goes from porno movie to comedy movie. If you fart more than once, then it just turns into a documentary, and you don’t want that.”
