This Fighting is Magic situation really affected me.

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.

I admit that I'm a bit distraught over this.  

 

I understand that Hasbro's lawyer's are protecting their copyrights, and that this was a necessary course of action.  Its just tragic that all that work was done in vain, it seems.  I'm worried too, that this might be an implication of future behavior from Hasbro when dealing with the Brony community.  Will they start to dole out more C&D orders to other fan-driven projects?  How long is it before fans start to become discouraged from expressing their love for the show?

I hope this is not the fate of this fandom, time will tell.

This sucks, bro. I myself am a big fan of fighting games like MvC. And its a shame to see all these people hating on you and acting like somebody is crying over an ant's death. I really do care. I was following the thing ever since it was announced. And to see it crumble like this is a shame.
