I just googled it. I don't know if I want to ruin the surprise, but I'll say it's a Creepypasta and is SFW, though if you're literally at work, use headphones.
oh,you know. in a basement...cooking ponies into cupcakes....
oh..that thing is funny.

I read the first few posts on this thread and was already laughing. I couldn't be arsed to read more than 3, but if the pattern continued, I just want to say that Chris, you set yourself up for trolling. Way to take it like a man, though.
I actually heard about this fandom of 'bronies' on wait wait don't tell me, and at first, I was like sounds like a branch of furries. But then they brought a bronie on to interview him... and it didnt sound that weird. Seriously.
This show seems... strangely... hypnotic... sorta like this?
Spoiler:
I saw one episode with the 'weird uncle' of the familly and his two stepdaughters, and it does kinda suck you in... I just have to ask, are they are female? If so... I'll leave that stone unturned.
THIS, however, THIS would be enuf to make me watch the show forever:
Sorry it looks so small; it was the only one I could find.
But yeah, I don't want to hate... or really encourage this. I kinda have to take a neutral stance.
I mean, everything's weird to people who dont do it, right? Like, say, 40k. Or Kwanza.

I don't believe I've ever heard of that episode. Are you sure you weren't watching the first generation?
Also, there are male and female ponies.
A nuetral stance is appreciated : )

I've only watched two episodes, but no. So far there's Big Macintosh and the ponies who pulled Twilight's chariot who were expressly addressed as "sirs" and seem to be the same as, or similar to, the ponies who attempt to defend against Nightmare Moon when she showed up (and were swiftly defeated with little effort). Equestria appears to be a strongly matriarchal society where male ponies are not prominent in any area other than the military, and otherwise seem to be relegated to manual labor.

There are quite a few male characters, but the show focuses on the friendship between the main characters (females).
Except for Spike, most of the males are one-offs, but they are certainly there.
Honestly, though, character gender is not really that big of a deal on the show... the show is more about universal truths about friendship.
Well except for Rarity outsmarting the Diamond Dogs by being a lady. Which was fantastic.

Well, I did qualify my statement with "male pony". But even then, Spike is, so far, nothing but a glorified e-mail terminal. Not exactly a prominent or important member of equestrian society. Then again, I'm under the impression that he is also a child.
