It's the beginning of June 2020. Around the world, adult fans of cartoon horses are waking up and checking their feeds. For those who weren't paying much attention to the internet over the weekend, they get a shock when they find blog posts about a bizarre event that happened that Saturday.
An adult man known for writing a reasonably well-liked pony story heavily based on Tolkien (and roughly the length of one of his books as well) had the shit beat out of him after he tried to charge people attending a George Floyd protest wielding a Roman gladius with the intent, one would presume, to politely engage in friendly debate over their differences in political opinions. I mean, for what other reason would a white catholic dude chase down protesters while waving around an actual goddamn sword?
A decent amount of people are confused by this event. How could such a popular figure in the pony fandom end up doing something that crazy and then tweet to publicly confirm it was him? Why are there people in the community trying to defend or even cheer on this lunatic's actions? How did we even get here?

#####My Little Pony Yes, I know you probably know what My Little Pony is, but unless you've dipped your toes into the fandom (or read one of the other write-ups on this drama-prone community), I'm reasonably willing to bet you're not familiar with the more specific aspects of it. Feel free to skip this section if you want, but it'll put part of how the modern fandom started into perspective.
My Little Pony is a toy-based media franchise that was first created by toy juggernaut Hasbro in the early 80s following a formula they had piloted with their G.I. Joe franchise in the 60s and would later perfect with the Transformers franchise: make toys, pay studio peanuts to create fiction that'll get kids invested, make absolute bank.
The original TV incarnation of My Little Pony (in the period of toy designs referred to as "Generation 1" or simply G1) was, for better or worse, a very standard 80s cartoon in the vein of He-Man, GI Joe, and Thundercats, with little that stands out either way except for

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
When I got home, they were still there.
