Demographics and geography Īccording to internal studies, 19.05% of bronies have engaged in clopping, but it is assumed that the percentage is actually larger. The most popular character in My Little Pony-related pornography is Rainbow Dash, followed by Rarity and Pinkie Pie.
On the other hand, in 2015, The Guardian reported that in the Brony community on 4chan, having sex with a real person was seen as a negative, and not clopping as a form of heresy. To some in the fandom, 'clopping' (masturbating to clop) is frowned upon. The topic has received scholarly attention. When compared to other fandoms, the fan arts include a lot more homosexual ships. Most of the fanfiction stories are focused on romance between the characters rather than titillation. History Ĭonsidered to be either a subset of brony fandom, furry fandom, or both, My Little Pony-inspired erotic fan art reportedly first began appearing on the web around 2012.
Other related terms include clop-fic for erotic fiction/ slash fiction centered around My Little Pony characters, and clopper for a person who enjoys this type of material. The word is also used as a verb, to refer to the act of masturbating to clop. The word itself is a pun or wordplay based on the slang word 'fap', meaning ' masturbation'.
