Arguably it truly started catching on two days later with this post setting the wheels in motion, was only used one other time on the 25th from what I found digging through archives of both 4chan and plus4chan, then twice again on the 26th and then seven times on the 27th (assuming that the timestamps of both archives are close enough in what timezone they go by). Won’t argue about this events influence, since there was a clear case of Sparkle Fizzlelove adopting it into their vocabulary and it then spreading to someone who refered to themselves as the “songfag” who also used it multiple times.
But the word “Brony” didn’t catch on until 2 days later.

your current filter.Sorry to rain on everyone’s parade, but the actual origin of the term “brony” from two days earlier seems to be much more mundane.

I am! I wonder where those anons are right now and if they’re aware of them playing a part in internet history?
You guys feel old yet?

your current filter.You’re correct, it did come from plus4chan: https://web.archive.org/web/20101028083242/http://plus4chan.org/b/co/res/98088.html#98645

I mean just this particular screencap.
Nope, 4chan/co/. That’s where the MLP adult fandom sprang from. It didn’t take long for it to spread virally, but 4chan was where it all began.

your current filter.Whoever remade that didn’t get the right frame. The blink animation is wrong.

Oh yeah, didn’t notice that. Still, that was the only one I could find ny reverse searching a screencap of the thumbnail.
