# Clop (erotic fan art)

Clop is erotic or pornographic fan art, fan fiction, fan films, fan games, 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, derived from a hoofbeat, also means 'masturbation' in this context. Clop content emerged on the web around 2010 and typically focuses more on character romance. A study suggests that about 19% of bronies (My Little Pony fans) have engaged in "clopping." Critics who view it as a problematic aspect of the fandom fear that it might taint the reputation of the My Little Pony fan community as a whole.

## Etymology

Clop is both an onomatopoeia and a pun or wordplay on the slang word fap, itself an onomatopoeia as well. Clop is also used as a verb, meaning 'masturbate'. Related terms include clop-fic for erotic and slash fiction centered around My Little Pony characters, and clopper for a person who enjoys this type of material.

## History

Clop is considered to be either a subset of brony fandom, furry fandom, or both. Compared to other types of fan art, clop features homosexual ships more prominently. The topic has received scholarly attention. Clopping (masturbating to clop) is frowned upon by some My Little Pony fans. However, in 2015, The Guardian reported that the 4chan brony community saw not clopping as a form of heresy, and viewed having sex with a real person negatively. As of July 2015, the most popular character in clop on Pornhub was Rainbow Dash, followed by Rarity and Pinkie Pie.

## Demographics and geography

According to internal studies, 19.05% of bronies have engaged in clopping, but it is assumed that the percentage is actually larger. A 2015 survey by Pornhub revealed that most cloppers were millennials between 18 and 24 years old, and men were 37% more likely to search for clop than women.
On Pornhub, clop was watched the most in Eastern Europe, with Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic being the top four consumers as of the survey date. Puerto Rico was fifth.

## Reception

Gianna Decarlo, a journalist for The Baltimore Sun, condemned clop as one of the problems of the My Little Pony fandom, calling the erotic art an "unstoppable force of sexual deviancy" from which "not even a simple Google search is safe." EJ Dickson of The Daily Dot wrote that clop enthusiasts were "black sheep in the community" of bronies, most of whom fear that cloppers will give the entire fandom a bad name.

## Minister of Foreign Affairs

In 1990, Zlenko became the first Foreign Minister of the newly independent Ukraine. He strongly promoted Ukraine's relations with Western Europe. In an interview in 1990, Zlenko said:
   "A common history existing a thousand years and a deep cultural, linguistic and ideological closeness have linked us with neighboring Poland. The western regions of Ukraine and the eastern provinces of Poland...are similar in make-up of population and economy...Our border with Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania is shorter than that with Poland. But there are also ethnic...influences, economic ties, trade, mixed marriages, the common Danube waters..."
His first term concluded in September 1994, and he became the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the United Nations until September 1997, subsequently serving as the Ukrainian Ambassador to France until 2000, in which capacity he returned to his former position as Ukrainian Representative to UNESCO (in November 1998 he also was appointed Ukrainian Ambassador to Portugal).
