So, I know a lot of people are going to say you'll be back in a month but this is actually not the case at all.

First I'll explain why I'm leaving the forums in the most polite and non-finger pointing way possible but its kinda hard to that at times and it is what it is, lets not forget the element of honesty and what it stands for... right?

So after all the things I explained on the forums about myself, I still can't help but feel like I got judged for it in the most negative way possible. I thought this community was about acceptance and FFA look at how many times characters make mistakes in the show yet their are given a second chance and they all prove themselves. How about a list in case we forgot, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Princess Luna, Princess Celestia (I understand she is a "good" character, but has made questionable decisions she's not proud of), Trixie...?, Rainbow Dash, and of course lets not forget about Discord who has made several large mistakes and even in the end Twilight continued to give him a chance and he continues to become a better character. Slowly but dose improve.

I've seen this happen to others on the forums as well, and it's hard for me to think about this with a community that three years ago believed in things like "love and tolerate".

The other thing I can't stop thinking about with this community that made me jump ship is how...? What happened to enjoying the show? What happened to my fan is was for fun because I like the show, and its just fun to make art of my favorite character for the show, or make some fan music or write a fanfic. Why is there so much competition to be a "better artist", or a "pro musician" or get the most subs on youtube. This show, this fandom was about fun... or at least that's what I thought it was, but was crushed and horrible fucking disappointed, like asking for a train set for christmas but getting a toy truck instead.

To rap things up, I came to this forums because I just wanted to try to make friends after loosing all mine, but found most (not all), but still an overwhelming number of people playing popularity contest. I would say Mysterious Mare do Well episode, but then I realized how many people have never seen one episode of the show that are apart of this fandom, which is fine, but at the same time they are a part of the fandom and act like assholes. I know its lot to rap your head around mine to, I've thought so much about this stuff before I understood a lot of the wrongs in all of this, it just hurts to see this community come to this, the people on my friends list that never message me then I realized they are artists in the fandom, not all of the people in my friends, or even people I've msged on the forums that don't keep up with me, and I log on for about one hour a day ffs. I also was a fan artists and I just did art for the fandom because I love this show and loved the fandom, and of course I enjoy drawing art a lot as well. Again a lot of people will think this is rude but no, I'm just being honest, an element from the show that matters to me but seems to have faded from the community.

So, after this blog this is it. I wont be back on the forums ever again. I will continue to watch the show because it is a great show. I will also continue to do fan art and possible post it on D/A, but after my experiences with this fandom. No more.
