The preceding video by Youtube user Kraut and Tea begins with a segment taken from here, as mentioned by @Charles A. Woodward in January.
TL;DR version of Kraut and Tea's video: Anonymity is a right protected by the European Union and essential for freedom of speech and the exchange of ideas.
(I found this Wikipedia article explaining the crux of Kraut's argument, the Chilling Effect.)
The hilarious part about this guy is how he uses "alpha male" and "awesome" to describe himself unironically, he even showed himself getting out of shower in a video to expose his "muscular body", and at the same time calling people less than half his age weak or gay, the guy is like 40 lol.
The only reason to delve in the dying fandom of ponydom, is because he's probably a brony himself. That, or he needs easy targets. Y'know... alpha male and all.
And I thought TJ was the worst youtube Atheist. Like, TJ can be obnoxious, but he's at least entertaining in his sperging.
But nope, you got Devon here going on about how awesome he is, and dox dropping guys like Kraut und Tea, threatening to dox Vernaculis (over a fucking disagreement over gun control), and least of all the actual dox he did that started this whole kerfuffle.
MOREOVER, the dox on KuT were gathered in January by a pair of flying monkeys who then gave it to Devon, who released them after the video KuT did about how anonymity is a good thing for discussion and dissemination of ideas. And then he finds out that he's on a ultra left wing anti-fascist hit list, all the time as Devon says that doxing isn't bad or wrong or illegal (technically it isn't illegal, but it's certainly immoral).
I honestly don't agree with atheism, my self, I do find some youtube atheists at least entertaining. And all Devon is, is an unfunny bully. And his Flying Fucks can blow me.

The journey into ponydom begins with a Pop mashup featuring a young woman wearing ear gauges (something that I never really understood. Why would you want your ears to be bigger?) Then there's a clip of some woman doing an acapella cover of the MLP theme, followed by what I'm supposing is Twilight Sparkle making some gross licking noises, over which Devon says that he has returned and compares himself to a phoenix.
(@Tim Buckley, I think you're spot on about him being a closet brony just from this little section. Please note that at this point, I am less than two minutes in.)
He has been 'behind enemy lines," and has 'explored the hidden fruit that is the My Little Pony fandom.' His words, not mine.
He then proceeds to call the people who found evidence of his doxing spree "inferior creton beta weakling millennial scum" and "autistic."
Let that sink in for a minute.
The man who encouraged the doxing of a fourteen year old, the man who bans people for having the slightest difference of opinion, the man who made a video on fucking MY LITTLE PONY is calling us autistic.
Then he goes on about anonymity being pathetic for the next minute or so.
AiU then introduces us to a brony, and then swiftly moves on to how he found himself at a brony convention in Germany. (Please excuse the giant run-on sentences. It's how he talks.)
He says, "Now many of you may be wondering why I would go to a brony convention. Well, why wouldn't you? Oh, right, there's a stigma to it? The way I viewed it, it was just fascinating, it's just an interesting thing. I view it as cultural tourism."
Apparently, one of AiU's fanboys bought him a ticket 'if he wanted it' to attend the convention.
"It sounded like an opportunity to dive in, get dirty with it, see what's what."
At around 5:40, Devon says that he has disabled the pause button for this video. I, being the gullible person that I am, decided to test the video. Of course, the pause button worked just fine.
Seconds later, Autism is Unstoppable says, "Now, the number of people who just paused the video to see if I was telling the truth, you concern me. I'm worried about us, the collective, like, the species? Because of your pausing, okay? But let's put that aside and let's move on."
I am well aware of Atheist Roo's sense of sarcastic humor, but here I don't think he was joking.
Cut to footage of the Roo outside the convention. His nickname for the convention is Tracey-Clop. Clopping, according to Devon, is the act of fapping to MLP porn.
"What it was was a two-day event, and I went both days. I was in it to win it," he says, going on to say that "It's a different world, it's the brony world, and they are all on board, so it's like walking into Fight Club. Except for it's not like fight club because none of these people could fight and instead of nobody talks about Fight Club, everyone talks about Fight Club."
He talks about the oddity of how a charity called "Bronies for Good" is for animal rights, despite the MLP community being notorious for bestiality.
(I'm 10 minutes into this? Out of 50? Boy.)
"They are who we thought they were - at first glance. They are men, nine to one, maybe ten to one, male to female. No little girls, I think I saw one little girl. One. The rest of them were nerds."
He says that when he was growing up, there was only one type of nerd. Science enthusiasts, gamers, and neckbeards were all just nerds. Devon first heard of bronies through the Howard Stern show. He had, of course, heard of My Little Pony before then, when it was a Saturday morning cartoon in the 80's. He claims to have never watched the show intentionally, catching glimpses of it after He-Man or GI Joe ended.
"That was generation one, now we're on generation four. By the way, generation 3.5 was utter crap. It's shat upon by the entire community. But generation four was a remake that they did in about 2010 and it has a beautiful style. It's drawn very elegantly in kinda an anime style, very cutesy, but it's sleek and it's modernist."
There's bronies all over the world, Tracey says, but most come from America. The biggest convention is held in Baltimore.
Tracey also says that the show is very lighthearted and made up of a young female cast. "It's not dramatic, they cover no serious issues, it's playful, it's tolerant, and it scratches an major itch for these people. My initial thought is that in a world with a 24-hour news cycle, which is mostly about terror and horrific things, that there's chaos and death and drama and negativity all over the place, what do you need? What becomes the commodity? Positivity. And that's what this show is."
He goes on to say that he discovered that he is not so different from these fans in his appreciation of other fandoms. "It's really hard to poo-poo on people who are just happy and into something that they mutually like. I mean, that being said, it is alarming to turn a corner and see a group of adult males singing a song like this to a video game. They're singing 'Shake Your Tail.'"
"For many people, this is there one time of the year where they can let their 'freak flag' fly."
Jump to a shot of a crowd of aforementioned grown men playing an MLP rhythm game. Then Tracey talks about talking to the flying monkey who bought him the ticket whilst playing a pony-themed card game.
(At this point in the video I'm questioning my life choices and why I thought it would be a good idea to sit through nearly an hour long video about a guy who thinks not doxing people for having different opinions is less autistic than going to a brony convention. I'm at the 19 minute mark.)
Fast forward three consecutive minutes of a bearded man talking about ponies at one of the con's panels and a couple minutes of Twilight Sparkle doing I have no fucking clue, something about a cosplay contest.
Around the 35 or so minute mark AiU talks about the various pictures he took while there. He finally gets around to making fun of the people at the convention, which somehow feels hollow at this point. 38 minutes in, Devon talks about stalking a girl in a pony outfit, then calls her pathetic.
I will say, however, that my favorite part of this whole thing has to be when AiU's girlfriend comes home @47:05, not because it's slightly awkward, but because it's one of the few things in this super-long video that's not about brightly colored ponies, like a breath of desperately needed real life.
It ends with the same girl singing as in the very beginning. I honestly say that I've never been so glad to see ear gauges in my life.
If you were able to make it through my entire post, you deserve a medal.

Watch his twitter posts, you would never believe he is over 15 just by looking at them, his "opponent" Kraut and Tea was just calmly responding untill he decided to ignore the manchild but that didn't stop him to keep his inetrnet tough guy antics in control, also I warn you guys, don't try to say anything in twitter, he is more ban happy than Steve Shives and doesn't appreciate his safe space to have any disagreements no matter how small they are.
He only did talk about anonymity for about a minute, the rest of it was about ponies. I'm not sure why he made it, but it certainly was not gold. It was boring, unfunny, and far longer than it needed to be. I'm guessing this is the video Autism is Unstoppable mentioned:
And yes, I would much rather watch Kraut's video than Traceyclop's again.
I think that they are well aware of kiwi farms and some of them are members of this forum for sure,
but also they are well aware how kiwi farms treat people that try to raise private armies on this site.

By my experience most of them would get too triggered to avoid sperging here.
These are people that go after every single video titled Devon Tracey on youtube no matter how insignificant the channel, just to leave a dislike if it's not pro AiU.
Oh God, not another one! The heck is going on with this man?
I just clicked play on this video and realized it's an hour long. Fuck.
From what I can tell, this appears to be Tracey-Clop's interview with a brony that he promised in yesterday's video, so it's not another ode to ponies.
