I'm actually astounded there are Russian bronies that aren't hiding in the closet or fleeing the country. Next you'll tell me that Rainfurrest 2024 is being held in the St. Petersburg convention center.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

First they came for the bronies, and I did not speak out for I was not a brony.
My Little Pony the movie: Horror and Darkness
The real horror was the non-traditional symbols you made along the way.
I had completely forgot about the MLP/brony thing
Putting the + in LGBTQ+
Wut?
They said
Putting the
+inLGBTQ+
What it has to do with bronies? It is such random reply.
Bronies do not necessarily fall into any of the L, G, B, T, or Q categories, but they do seem to fit in with the crowd, at least in Putin's opinion apparently. Hence, they must belong to the +.
Russia bans going outside on sunny-rainy days, citing concerns children may suddenly become gay
Also bans soviet day cares named "Rainbow"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Police in Moscow were called to investigate alleged LGBTQ propaganda at a fan event dedicated to the cartoon series “My Little Pony,” organizers said Sunday.
The Mi Amore convention was closed by organizers early Saturday after officers arrived at the venue in the Russian capital, despite police being unable to find evidence of illegal activity.
“The police received a complaint claiming that our event promoted non-traditional relationships and related symbols, adult content for minors, and general horror and darkness,” event organizers wrote on Russian social media site VK Sunday.
Although aimed at children and focused on the magical power of friendship, “My Little Pony” has previously prompted anxiety in Russia, with some fearing that the show could run afoul of the country’s anti-LGBTQ legislation.
Although no reason was given for the change, viewers speculated that the decision could be linked to the character Rainbow Dash, whose multicolored mane and tail are similar to the LGBTQ pride flag.
The Russian Supreme Court banned what the government called the LGBTQ “movement” in Russia in November 2023, labeling it an extremist organization.
The original article contains 382 words, the summary contains 177 words. Saved 54%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Here's what one of organizators say: https://equestria.social/@Ponywka/111947527725773718
Basically it is because Putin killed Navalny.
