Look we’ve all been there….
That stage in life when you’re a 30 year old male and you just can’t get over your My Little Pony obsession.
You all know what I mean….My Little Pony birthday parties, spending all day on My Little Pony fan websites, creating My Little Pony fan art and uploading them online, wearing My Little Pony backpacks because they’re just so darn cute!
Which one of us HASN’T gone through that phase?
Oh.
Actually, outside of mental illness and arrested development, I’m not aware of ANY male aged 30 who is obsessed with My Little Pony.
Until now.
WELL WELL WELL IT HAPPENED YET AGAIN

Yeah, and they are trying to tell us this guy is MAGA?
Give me a freaking break!
The NY Post added these details to a very bizarre story:
Brian Cole Jr., 30, was seemingly obsessed with the toys — marketed at young girls — creating art of plastic pony dolls, remixes of songs about them, and writing fan fiction dedicated to them.
His works are spread across various social media accounts linked to Cole’s email address and phone number.
Posting as iDeltaVelocity, Cole apparently uploaded 87 pictures of My Little Pony fan art to one forum, showing various pony and unicorn characters. One is depicted with a bionic leg brace, and he appears to favor pink or purple ponies with long, multicolored manes.
ADVERTISEMENTIn one post, a “Star Wars” inspired pony says in a speech bubble: “I’m not ‘cute,’ I’m deadly,” which Cole says is a line from video game “Star Wars: The Old Republic.”
A Tumblr account focused on My Little Pony art which used one of Cole’s usernames commented on a drawing of a pony with an M60 machine gun, writing: “Eh… I’d give her an RPG. What can I say? Explosions are COOL!” referring to a Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher.

A man who is part of the My Little Pony a subculture is known as a “Brony.” The community was, in 2017, large enough to hold annual conventions and experts considered followers sincere in their fandom.
None of Cole’s posts examined by The Post had any noticeable sexual connotations. One fan fiction story apparently authored by Cole showcases his bringing together of My Little Pony fantasy and horror.
“Applebloom’s eyes snapped open as she sat up in her bed, panting heavily and sweat dripping from her red mane […] The skeletons, the zombified ponies rising up from the ground, their decaying bodies, rotting flesh sliding off from their bones,” he allegedly wrote. “She buried her face in her hooves, crying silently at the horrible images that inhabited her mind.”
A former high school classmate told The Washington Post that Cole had carried a My Little Pony backpack and had been teased for it.
