Jan 6th pipe bomb suspect has ‘My Little Pony’ obsession
December 9, 2025 | Vivek Saxena



The alleged D.C. pipe bomber, Brian Cole Jr., has been outed as a hardcore fan of the “My Little Pony” franchise.

Cole is such a fan of the franchise that he started “creating art of plastic pony dolls, remixes of songs about them, and writing fan fiction dedicated to them,” according to the New York Post.

“Posting [online] as iDeltaVelocity, Cole apparently uploaded 87 pictures of My Little Pony fan art to one forum, showing various pony and unicorn characters,” the Post notes.

One piece he created showed a pony with a bionic leg brace. The ponies he designed were typically pink or purple.

His online activities also appeared to often feature violence.

One drawing showed a pony saying, “I’m not ‘cute’ — I’m deadly.”

Just a step away from being a trantifa, seems to me.

Time to reintroduce "Broney" to the Lexicon.

That's just plain ole weird.

Had to look that up... I think it is spelled "Brony" .... Typically an adult male that likes "My Little Pony".

IMHO probable has gay tendencies.

Edit: Men who enjoy “My Little Pony” are often known as Bronies. (so there is a plural version)

Hard to imagine any straight male would be into My Little Pony, the target audience of which is 7-year-old girls.

The bizarre thing is most of them claim they're straight I believe.

I wouldn’t say I’m “into” My Little Pony in any big way,  it I don’t mind watching the programs if they’re on, even though my daughter outgrew them years ago.  And I’m pretty sure I’m straight hetero.

Sounds like good basis for an insanity defense.

"Your honor, would a sane person be this obsessed with 'My Little Pony'?  'My Little Pony' is a precursor to even worse 'Strawberry Shortcake' and 'Care Bears' obsessions to come."
