There was a brief period, at least in some places, where being a brony was a good way to show what a nice, sensitive guy you were. After all, it meant you promoted love and tolerance and weren't afraid to like something target at (little) girls. You didn't dismiss 'good'* storytelling just because it came from an overtly feminine source. Bronies were seen as being a softer side to the usually nasty internet, a more heartwarming version that used "friend" instead of "fag." It was the perfect fit for Dobson, who wants everyone to know just what a nice guy he is. What's easier than shitting out some ponies? Then the newness of guys openly admitting to liking things for little girls wore off and the creepier aspects of the fandom got more attention. Accompany that with the bronies pitching fits over the fact that the series didn't cater to them, and public opinion quickly turned against them. Dobson has always cared more about what people think of him than the things he actually likes, so he naturally jumped ship.
The other factor, of course, which should not be ignored, is the massive amount of lesbian shipping in the fandom.
