My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Clop is erotic or pornographic

fangames, and other fan labor based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, and further generations of the My Little Pony
franchise.

The term "clop," based on the onomatopoeic hoofbeat sound, also means masturbation in this context. Clop content emerged on the web around 2010 and typically focuses more on character romance. A study suggests about 19% of

bronies (My Little Pony fans) have engaged in "clopping". Although the fan base is primarily in the US and UK, most clop content is consumed in Slavic Europe
. Critics view it as a problematic aspect of the fandom, fearing it might taint the fandom's reputation.

Etymology

The word "clop" itself is a

erotic fiction/slash fiction centered around My Little Pony characters, and clopper for a person who enjoys this type of material.[4][5]

History

Clop is considered to be either a subset of

brony fandom, furry fandom, or both.[6][7] When compared to other fandoms' fan art, the Friendship Is Magic fan art more prominently features homosexual ships.[8] The topic has received scholarly attention.[9][10][11][12][13] To some in the fandom, "clopping" (masturbating to clop) is frowned upon.[6] 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.[14] The most popular character in My Little Pony–related pornography is Rainbow Dash, followed by Rarity and Pinkie Pie.[1]

Demographics and geography

According to internal studies,[

which?] 19.05% of bronies have engaged in clopping, but it is assumed that the percentage is actually larger.[6] A different survey by Pornhub revealed that most participants are millennials aging from 18 to 24 years old and that men are 37% more likely to search for My Little Pony–related pornography than women.[1][15]

Most My Little Pony–related pornography is watched in

Slavic Europe, with Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic being the top four, with Puerto Rico being the fifth.[1]

Reception

Daily Dot wrote that enjoyers of the erotic art are "black sheep in the community," meaning that the rest of the brony fandom fears that cloppers will give the whole fandom a bad name.[17]
