In line with recent events, the BronyStudy by Doctor Psych Ology has gathered some interesting results so far on the state of bullying in the fandom. For those of you who are interested, take a look at the link below to find the preliminary data gathered so far by the study!
"Given the ongoing discussion within the fandom about the impact (sometime tragic) of bullying we would like to share a bit of the data from our current survey at www.bronystudy.com.
It is our hope that this might further the community’s discussion about this matter. We feel it may be helpful to know both how frequent bullying occurs and to what degree Bronies feel
it was CAUSED by their becoming a fan of MLP:FiM. We have also included several possible explanations for (conclusions about) these preliminary results.
If you have not yet completed the 'How the Fandom Changed My Life 'survey please consider taking the time to join your fellow Bronies in the effort."
