Them's Fightin' Herds is a competitive fighting game that emerged from the legacy of a fan-made My Little Pony project called Fighting is Magic. After receiving a cease-and-desist, the developers at Mane6 collaborated with Lauren Faust to create an original cast of ungulates, resulting in a technically deep and visually charming fighter. The meme typically focuses on the humorous contrast between the game's cute, four-legged characters and the high-octane violence of the fighting game genre. It is frequently used by the Fighting Game Community (FGC) to represent the idea of 'clobbering' someone with something unexpectedly fierce or to celebrate the game's resilient indie origins.
