MY Little Pony is supposed to be a harmless kids show, but a hardcore following of adult fans have twisted it into something darker.
Animal porn and white supremacy have long been associated with the surreal subculture — which is now being linked with a mass shooting too.
Brandon Scott Hole’s final Facebook post expressed a desire to be with a My Little Pony character in ‘the afterlife’ before his killing spree in Indiana
Last week, 19-year-old Brandon Scott Hole shot eight people dead at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis where he’s believed to have previously worked.
The teen, who killed himself after the attack, posted a bizarre message on Facebook less than an hour before he opened fire.
“I hope that I can be with Applejack in the afterlife, my life has no meaning without her,” the post read, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The post was reportedly accompanied by a picture of Applejack, one of the main characters from the children’s TV series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
