This Fighting is Magic situation really affected me.


Motion Spark

As you guys know, today (or yesterday that is) we got one of the worst news (if not the worst news) that could hit our fandom recently.

 

Yes it's about Fighting is Magic, and I don't even have to say what's currently happening with the game, it's pretty clear now.

 

Now, I know I've complained about the game in the past, with me not being convinced with some mechanics of the game but therefore I was very excited about it getting released at some point, I've never stopped getting excited about mane6's updates and videos.

 

The news hitted me really hard, I have to admit that I am emotionally sad as well because I was very excited about it, not because it was a pony game only, but because I'm an avid fighting game fan, it's my favorite genre and there's notning else I would prefer to play for multiplayer matches, but hope it's the last thing we lose right?

 

This issue also triggered something in me that I didn't think I would actually do in the forums, I insulted a member for the first time ever since I joined the forums, I insulted a user without any joking or fun connotation attached to it, and I don't regret my actions, I said "Fuck you" in a very serious manner, and I'm going to reveal this person's identity because I have nothing to hide, right Sugar Plum? which now has another ridiculous name that I don't remember about.

I know that you self claim yourself as an asshole and whatnot, but at least I had some level of respect for you because I admire your common sense and how realistic you see situations in life, but there's a difference between being an asshole and a heartless, inconsiderate douchebag.

 

How you can be like this? would you go to a funeral and laugh at the dead person's coffin in front of their friends and family? how far can people go?

 

Sugar Plum and the other users that I don't remember about that acted in a mean way about the possible cancellation of the game, reminded me of the brony haters that says that bronies are the leeches of the internet. Maybe they are right, many bronies are obnoxious inmature guys that request some sort of special treatment from the internet because of their status of bronies.

These people talk about about us like were some kind of new espcies, like we weren't human, then I wonder why are these people part of a pony forum? why do they pay so much attention to us then?

 

I am not this kind of brony that are always in pro of the brony rights, there isn't brony rights in the first place. I'm not moaning everytime Hasbro makes something "that we don't like". I didn't even cared much about this alicorn Twilight thing.

Then when I heavy react for the first time ever about something that really affected me, I end up being dragged by this popular perception people have about bronies that doesn't fit me at all.

 

Let me tell you something haters and lovers, this game was the thing that I was excited the most about this fandom, no art, no animation, no other game made, no music, nothing could be compared to the hype that I had for this game. Ponies and fighting blended together in a game was like it was made for me.

It sickens me the people who obstruct the flow of ideas, ok you don't give a sh*t about the game being cancelled, cool but at least get out of the way and let the people who care about it to work on ideas to do something about it.

Whar did he say to you that upset you?

it's funny how he or she erased any trace of what he or she said about this game controversy. I honestly don't remember the only thing I rememeber is that he said something about bronies are like little kids, and some negative stuff about the game.

I tried to keep that stuff out of my mind to focus on what we could do to save the game which is a display of hard work, dedication and creativity.

I didnt even know about this game until today. Though, I dont think I would have liked it anyways. The thought of ponies beating the crap out of each other doesnt sound appealing to me. Everyone has their own tastes...

this game has been in developing for 2 years. well it's true what you say, if the best pony fan game was a FPS, I wouldn't be interested.

But if you don't want to be part of the solution at least your are not getting in the way and troll about it.

I could easily reverse the situation and say "Okay, cool, you like the game, but get out of the way for us who don't give a shit about the game and go think of the given situation at hand in some other place." It's all a matter of perspective. I do not value a silly little game. All it is, to me, is a worthless program, so I will mock it. I have said it many times on the forums, and I will say it many times again; 

I believe you should not care about other peoples' opinions so much. What I say should not affect you in the slightest bit, because I'm just some idiot on the internet. There's millions of us. You should not get caught up over a few of these given persons' opinions and/or words. We are all different, and if you expect everybody to go along with the way you wish, or to think similarly to you, then you're only going to be disappointed.

 

I was also just getting a bit fed up, because there was about 30 status updates in a row about the damn thing. I mean, yes, okay, it's news, but ffs, not everyone needs to spam about it. UrdiePie actually made a status update mocking you guys, as well. Something along the lines of mentioning the event multiple times in a row because saying it once doesn't get the point across (obvious sarcasm, of course). After the first few, I was like, "Oh, what a shame... people liked that game." But then after about another hour of constant BS spam of the matter, I couldn't help but feel that you were all just causing a big fuss about things just for the hell of it. Again, give the situation a 180 degree turn around. I don't want to see you guys spam something I don't care about, just as you guys don't want to see me spam negativity about something I don't care about.

In response to this, I've decided to delete most of my status updates after they die down. Which is why I only have a single page of status updates. And yes, I did say they were like little kids, because it seems like they overreact to everything. This blog basically proves my point even more so. I also didn't say anything negative about the game, I don't think. I probably said it was "just a stupid game" maybe, but that's because, like I said, I don't value such a thing. Again, you should not care about what I have to say about things at all, anyway. 

 

 

Post statement: Pretty sure I've stated that I'm a heartless douchebag, before, anyway. :v

I am not upset that Fighting is Magic is shut down.  No, I am not upset that they are taking down YouTube videos.  No, I am not upset that they are destroying work that so many people have worked hard on for so long.  I couldn't care less about those physical attachments.  Jedi don't have physical attachments.

 

 

But to know, that such a person exists.  A person who would do such a thing to so many people.  A person who is evil, and heartless enough, to tear down other's ingenuity for the purpose of personal gain and profit.  

 

To know that that person exists is the thing that hurts me the most.  I had only thought that such antagonists only existed in Disney tales and movies. But no, there is such an evil being that thrives solely off the purpose of profit.  It is Hasbro.  

 

Oh but not only Hasbro, Disney and those other corporations as well.

 

I never thought that some of those hippies could be right. "The corporations are evil man!  Fight the power brother!"  No, I thought that it was all a bit silly.

 

But now I realize:  Corporations, Business, money, government, copyrights... They are all evil.  They are all causes of pain and turmoil for so many people.

 

As for Sugar Plum, I tried to be nice with her the first time I came on here.  But politeness is always taken as flirtation these days, considering it is so rare.  However, I no longer regret making a stupid and embarrassing mistake like that.  If Sugar Plum truly did something like you say, then she is just as evil as those corporations.  A corporation is something that is completely emotionless.  However another human being who acts in such a way does have emotions, and that human knows what they're doing.  A human who laughs at the misery of another can no longer be considered human.  And in all honesty, I consider humans as the lowest possible lifeforms to ever exist.

 

So if your story be true, then they are lower than any possible thing imaginable.  If I were to call one of them a piece of sh*t, it would be a compliment.

 

I'm sorry, but I can't help but to have lost faith in humanity at this point.  I'm going to go listen to Chicago now.  I'm feeling depressed...

 

. Scratch that.  I'll listen to Journey instead.

I don't care if you value the game or not, but what sicks me is that you don't have a bit of respect or tact with other people. This game was made by the effort of common people that don't have a major in game developing or animation, yet they came out with a fantastic product.

This was considered the most valuable thing ever created by the fandom this far and seeing it being cancelled (which is not completely true) was a shock to many of us, maybe you don't care and I respect that, but talking about respect, you don't give a shit about other feelings or emotions. And on top of that you have "mocking/sarcastic" feel of your posts when you wrote something.

People have different opinions, I may agree or dissagree, but at least respect the people, that's something I don't see in you. Perhaps I missed Urdie's comments about the game but I saw yours and you came with your stupidity to my status when I was trying to convince people to make a petition, that's a sign of disrespect.

 

I was annoyed by the spam too, and offered a some sort of solution to it, instead of saying that you were annoyed by the spam you ended up saying all the stuff you did, of course it's got me mad, I can't talk about everyone else.

This is not youtube or facebook, these communities are HUGE ENDLESS and RUDE, we are MLPforums, a MUCH smaller comminity and we are supposed to be supportive to each other or at least emphatetic for the most part.

 

Let me picture you a very illustrative example, let's say that today Lauren Faust died, everyone on mlpforums would be like OMG Lauren died, OMG :´( ...spamming blogs, threads and statuses.

 

would you be the same and reply with another "ingenious" status about your "love" for Lauren? You have the right to hate her, no one's forcing you to love her but at least have respect.

Again; why do you care what I have to say? I am some kid on the internet. You should completely disregard me as a person in entirety. That's the end of it. My voice means nothing on here, and it should and will stay like that. You're giving value to some words that I probably said as a joke, because I can't even remember them, at this point. 

 

I am not respectful, and I don't demand respect in return. Just ignore me. That's how it works.

I don't blame you for lashing out, this is very bad news that nobody should be happy about and everybody reacts to anger and sadness in their own ways. I seem to react by being a lot more formal and determined than usual, thus starting a petition and sending a direct email both using the most polite and non-angry words I could manage. You apparently react in a way which does not involve using non-angry words. Don't worry about it too much, and above all else don't let the haters get to you.

did you hit your head when you were born? you may have some sort of trauma, you will live a misserable life forever if you keep thinking like this.

 

@@Rainbow Skywalker, I get what you are saying man, but if corporations aren't "evil" as you say. They wouldn't make money, that's the way it is unfortunatelly.

That would be illegal. Hasbro will sue their asses if they even attempt to work on the game anymore.

Sparkity, perhaps you might consider putting Sugar Plum on ignore if you truly cannot stand his posts. Better that than to get mad and make your own inflammatory responses, no? Honestly, you're acting quite childish by calling someone out in public and ranting about it.

instead of being really angry at you I just feel sorry for you. If you at least tried to be genuine and nice to people maybe some kind soul can help you to get out of that dark spot you are in.

Since when do I need help? I'm doin' pretty great, honestly. I have fun every day, all day. My life is perfect. I do not need or want help, anyway.

This blog was made to show how I felt about the game "cancellation", unfortunatelly Sugar is part of why I got angry at the time, if you think that doing this was childish, then I'm sorry.

wait Fighting is magic got canceled :'( 

i'm rely sad now tho i'm not gone rage out because this was always probable in someway.

and i can understand the rage, this game had so much hype for it... i mean it was at EVO that go's to show how popular it was, and now it gone and people want someone to lynch.

i mean the only people i can see who are at fault are the makers/ mane6, they had guidelines to follow which allowed the games creation but didn't seem to follow em, to the point hasbro could step in.

In a way, this affects me personally as well.

Eventually, I wanted to make my own pony fan game, like a major project.

But, now i'm not sure...

This is really a shame. I hate it when companies pull shit like this and stomp on fan products. 

 

I mean come on Hasbro, for fuck sake. It's a NON profit game, it's not like they were trying to cash in on MLP's IP. 

 

Two years of hard work flushed down the drain in an instant, such a shame.

the fight is not over yet, they haven't said that they want the game completelly shut down, so we have a little bit of hope on that part.
