  1. 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?

  2. Definitely an interesting read, and there's a lot to put into perspective here.

     

    This fandom has grown exponentially ever since MLP:FiM aired back in 2010. It's growth has encompassed a wide variety of different people, as the article suggested, and with those many new fans comes many new ways they want to share how much they appreciate the show, and other products to boot. People get offensive, people react defensively, but that sort certainly doesn't define this fandom as a whole. I think that negativity is what turns some people off, eventually leading them to shy away from the brony mass.

     

    As for me though, I see myself as a brony for a long while. Despite whatever social stigmas or negative connotations others have brought to this fandom, I can still and will continue to support this community with the same amount of passion and creativity as I first entered.

     

    Thanks for sharing that article, Vexx3!
