Tiny Toons

http://unpromisedone.blogspot.pt/2012/11/meet-dennis-quozl-falk-man-who-got-tiny.html

As an oldfag who was active on the internet since 1994 I can tell you that nothing has really changed. Creepy fetishes and subcultures obsessed with pop culture were alive and well from day one.

>Would we see the level of creepy fandoms around like we do now?

Dennis "Quozl" Falk was the chris-chan of the 90s.

Tiny Toon adventures was the biggest thing on the internet in the mid 90s and it single handedly brought furries out of the shadows. They had been dwelling in their dark little corners of the internet for years (the furrymuck and other online communities, and they managed large FTP sites full of laughably bad art) but tiny toons mainstream success gave them a way to reach out to the rest of the internet.

While Denis falk was the most notorious of the furry stalkers, he was joined by many other sexual deviants and they pretty much corrupted the online fandom.

Warner brothers actually became fed up with the so called "internet fans", the creepy stalkers, and the overall direction their fandom was heading. This was the transition from "funny animal cartoon" to "sexual subculture" and Warner Brothers wanted no part of it.

WB started taking legal action against fansites that were hyper-sexualizing their property. They waged war on the furries with threatening letters and very rarely, if ever, was actual legal action required.

The furry communities victim complex manifested at this time. Besides harassment from the studios, regular internet users quickly became fed up with their antics. They would show up in IRC, regardless of what the topic was, and stated talking about homoerotic tiny toons artwork and posting links.

tl;dr

The bronie thing is nothing new. The internet is exponentially larger now than it was in 1994 but the same shit that happened then happens now.
