There has been a huge negative reaction, with people freaking out saying that its going to be terrible and going as far as LEAVING THE FANDOM.
Seriously? I mean, this isn't my favorite decision either, but I wont go as far as not being a brony anymore.
Next, I have heard that there is a lot of hate towards the creators and people going as far as sending HATE MAIL to LAUREN FAUST.
Okay, What the fuck guys? That is not cool. Lauren had no play in the decision. She doesn't even work on the show anymore! This was a decision that was made solely by the people at Hasbro to sell toys. Like it or not, the target demographic of My Little Pony is still little girls and little girls are more likely to buy a toy of a princess Alicorn, than a regular unicorn. Remember guys, this is a show based of a toy line, not the other way around.
Now, people are also saying that this is going to kill off the Twilight Sparkle that we know and love. That she is going to change into somepony that we can no longer love and care for. THIS IS NOT TRUE.
Yes, this is completely changing the show's feel and what we know about it, but THAT IS NO REASON TO HATE OR BLAME TWI FOR THIS. She is still going to be the same pony we all know and love, and nothing (and I do mean NOTHING) will ever change who she is. No matter what, Twilight will remain my favorite unicorn characters.

Now, for good things that can, and very well may, come from this.
A brand new mane 6 starring in season 4 onward.
This is an idea that I like and feel could do the show a lot of good. A whole cast of new characters to love and grow attached to, this is something I see as good for the future of the show.
Maybe season 4 will take place several years later, and we have a grown up CMC as our new main cast. Who knows?

Twilicorn, in all honesty, is not a bad decision. It is unpopular, I know that, and I personally still don't support it 100% (like I said, this decision was made for toy sales) but I accept that it is going to happen, and nothing we say or do can change that. The show will be forever changed, and maybe, just maybe, it will be for the better.
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, has honestly changed my life. When things are looking down, this show keeps me going.
****
In the end, we need to trust the writers. They have provided so much entertainment for us and have worked so hard to make us happy and allow our community to flourish. They have entertained us, they gave us a voice when Derpy became canon, no matter how brief it was, and they have given so much to us, no matter what, we should love, tolerate, and above all, respect and thank them for all they have done for us.
So I wont say no to this.
I will say thank you.
Thank you for all you have given us, writers of MLP FiM.
It has made all of our lives so much better, and will continue to do so for as long as the show carries on.
So now, only one thing left to say, (and I know I am mixing fandoms here, but hey, it works.)
ALLONS-Y
