* OH MY DEAR GOODNESS GRACIOUS, CANTERLOT 'WEDDING'? OH MY GOD LOOK AT THE TOYS ALREADY COMING OUT, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE END OF MLP AS WE KNOW IT, OH SOMEBODY HELP.

> Oh wait. Holy crap that was...that was actually pretty good.

* OH SWEET CELESTIA THEY GOT RID OF FIGHTING IS MAGIC, THOSE BASTARDS, THEY'RE GOING TO START REMOVING ALL SORTS OF FAN CONTENT NOW, AND THE FANDOM'S CREATIVITY WILL BE STIFLED BEYOND BELIEF.

>Not really.

* OH LORD; TWILICORN? THIS IS THE PONY APOCALYPSE IN THE VERY MAKING, FELLOW PONIES, WE BETTER MAKE IT TO THE BOMB SHELTERS NOW WHILE WE STILL CAN.

> Pointless to freak out until S4 flushes the concept out in full and we get the full picture.

* EEEEHHHH? EQUESTRIA GIRLS? A SPIN-OFF SHOW MADE BY HASBRO, A TOY COMPANY, TO TRY AND COMPETE AGAINST OTHERS TOYS? PREPOSTEROUS. R.I.P, FANDOM.

See the pattern? I do. And I've kinda had it Tired of sitting here and feeling like one of the only cool-tempered/sane people in the room when any sort of news comes out, and everyone decides to pick up their battle axes from where they left off in the last Apocalyptic Fandom Event, and go right back it. This time, according to EQD, writers have actually received death threats in full (see comments), and it's discouraged quite a few of them to severe points.

Here's an idea. Instead of throwing drama around and expecting the end like we always do, how about we stop the drama, relax, discuss things without getting at each others throats, being rude and blunt or outright slandering the concept itself or other people's opinions, and wait to see what happens. Being civilized shouldn't be too out of the fandom's grasp.

Or maybe it is. Maybe I'm expecting too much, these days.
