About
Nazi Ponies refers to media depicting characters of the Hasbro animated franchise My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic as sympathetic with the ideology of Nazism, typically through attire or display of the swastika symbol.
Origin
Although the exact origin of the concept is unclear, the earliest image (shown below) to be tagged as “Nazi” on the MLP hosting site Derpibooru was submitted on January 6th, 2012.[1] The artist, wolfjedisamuel, had uploaded it to their DeviantArt gallery on June 10th, 2011.[2]
The first Nazi-related direct edit of a scene from the show was uploaded to Derpibooru on July 4th, 2012,[3] featuring Pinkie Pie with a Nazi armband and Hitler mustache being carried by other ponies (shown below).
Spread
The Tumblr blog Nazi Ponies, which posted examples of the meme, was created in March 2013.[4] A similar group was created for the European social networking site VK[5] who also have a Twitter account.[6] On August 26th, 2012, Youtuber dunsparcedisco uploaded a video (shown below, left) titled “My Little Pony: Nazism is Magic”, featuring multiple examples of the meme.[7] On August 22nd, 2013, GeRaiDah uploaded a YouTube Poop video (below, right) titled “Button is a Satanic Nazi”, which includes a brief example of the concept.[8]
Aryanne
Aryanne is of the most notable examples of a Nazism-inspired pony original character. She is universally depicted as a snow-white pony with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a cutie mark consisting of a red heart with a pink swastika inside of it. Considered to be the ponification of Nazi Germany or Nazism in general, she is seen as an example of /pol/ culture influencing /mlp/.
