Re: BRONY THREAD

Well, I can see just how much the recent events have rocked the fandom (and this thread).

Honestly, my thoughts about the whole thing are kinda mixed. Firstly, about the C&D letters, it really sucks to have a project you've been hard at work on for close to two years (I forget when they actually started that) just suddenly have to stop and cause you to throw away everything you've done. That really sucks. Also, the fact that the brony doc turned out to be kinda...well, you know. That also sucks. All the drama in the fandom nowadays about every little thing just honestly puts a bad taste in my mouth. It makes me yearn for 2011, back before Derpy became a mainstay Where's Waldo gag in S2, and the show was good just by being unique, not by using the ideas that the fandom comes up with. However, that may also be due to Hasbro's bigger impact on the show's writing, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

To be honest, it feels like Hasbro's becoming controlling to everybody now, and becoming somewhat of a dictator, instead of the docile big brother from before, who didn't seem to mind all the fan content and re-uploads, and even, in some cases, praising it. Also, with certain tweets from the writers themselves (http://i.imgur.com/2k25vdb.png, https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/statu...16685649842176, and https://twitter.com/fyre_flye/status/300098640150687744) it really seems like the Hasbro-created show is just going to be on a downward drop.

Equestria Girls...I dunno. I'd have to see what it would be like, like with LPS.

And the Alicorn Twilight. I'm excited to see if they can end off a season spectacularly, just like they did with every other season. I have faith.

Well, that was a long time of typing and probably has many errors, but at least I got out what I felt like saying.
