How one brave brony turned The Sims into a virtual horse-fetish palace

Adult male fans of My Little Pony, commonly known as bronies, have found a home on 4chan, the 11-year-old forum that remains among the most bizarre and influential places on the Internet. One brave brony flocked to the video game Sims 4 to live out his fetish in a virtual world—and documented every step for 4chan’s /mlp/ community.

I mean, really, what can you say?

Eventually the original poster disappeared. Maybe he couldn’t keep up with the 4chan demands, or maybe he was just too enamored of his magical realm to ever care about earthly duties. But we’ll leave the final word to the always prescient 4chan community, which captures our exact feeling.
