In the beginnin
gThe original line of My Little Pony began with the Earth Ponies in 1982. The Earth Ponies were followed by Pegasus Ponies, Unicorn Ponies, Flutter Ponies and Sea Ponies. Flutter Ponies were smaller and thinner than Pegasus Ponies, and had fluttering wings. Windy Wing and the Summer Wing Ponies were smaller than the Flutter Ponies and were proportioned in a similar way, with larger, butterfly-like wings. The Sea Ponies resembled seahorses, and were produced as both adults and babies. There were also male ponies called 'Big Brother Ponies', which had slightly larger bodies and feathered hooves resembling those of Clydesdale horses.

Bronies in the military
A few soldiers in Afghanistan are part of the Brony movement, as a reaction against the violence there.
Illicitly, they use the hindquarter’s marks as call signs.

Their favorite
character
Derpy Hooves

What Hasbro did with that character
Hasbro was worried that Derpy Hooves was a subtle attack on people with mental challenges, and thus
reduced Derpy’s role in the show.

But then . . .
There was
serious backlash for the,
uh, Derpy role-
reduction.

The moral of the story
1.We have some partial religion around product-market fit
2.But your market may change as you align against an old target.
3.Understanding organic markets is a vital part of product-market alignment.
