TrunksXV

I Ship it. Besides both Fluttershy and Big Mac, have qualities that both of them share. Both are more introverted and have specialized interests, and they both have few words. I think they really do work well together as a couple.

Conventions take a lot of resources to organize and pull off. Given our current economy and several underlining factors, I guess they just felt they couldn't break even or the interest wasn't strong enough. With BABsCon being heavily advertised that's the one that will be the big one for fans on the West Coast. So despite the loss of a few conventions, new gatherings will indeed pop up. Other conventions will also be featuring MLP even if its not the primary theme.

Just to throw this out there. Jan Animation's stuff has already been mirrored on youtube. Go grab the content while you can.

Okay since we've had a big issue with Jan Animations receiving a C&D from Hasbro. I think it would be nice to discuss the issues surrounding future fan works. The biggest offenders seem to be so far: 1. Princess Molestia. - Blog/Webcomic - Very satirical 2. Fighting Is Magic - Fan Game 3. Button's Adventures. - Fan Animation Each of these had some reason for Hasbro to take action on. If Hasbro becomes a copyright killer, than frankly its going to be a huge problem for their brand. I mean you don't alienate your customers or your fans or future employees by stepping in and stopping fans being creative and showcasing their work online. As long as there is no money involved than all three of these could've stayed up. The Constitution supports parodies. If it didn't standup comedy wouldn't exist. Now I understand that Hasbro execs have every right to control how the brand is marketed, produced and sold, and to benefit financially from those efforts. However we are now in a digital age, and fighting fan works will just result in a huge backlash among adult fans. Unfortunately lets take a look at the economy right now. Adults for the most part drive the toy industry, and the cartoon industry. Kids don't have the income to actively support Hasbro or any of the products Hasbro produces. That should be apparent. You start stepping on your fans, your going to turn off the base and eventually there will be an unspoken exodus. Take a look at what happened to the Gaming Industry after E.T for the Atari hit the shelves in 1983 for a whopping 50 dollars. The game was so bad that it has been pointed to as the reason for almost killing the game console industry. So what are your thoughts on Hasbro? Will this be the beginning of them becoming an enemy of their consumer base? Or will the execs at Hasbro lighten up and just let the fan base do its own thing, with minimal intervention, as long as no huge losses are projected in their sales. Hasbro has its bottom line, and so do the fans. The fans are what will help Hasbro and MLP survive. If not they are free to fail and fall by the wayside just like every other business that's come and gone. We are under no obligation to buy anything or watch anything produced by Hasbro. The bottom line is while copyright has a legitimate function. It should never be used to destroy someone else's platform if that platform is not threatening your sales. Take a look at the forums. Most of the people who come here are adult fans and collectors. The ones who have the money that Hasbro needs. That's one vote that does count. Any thoughts?

Here is an interesting question. If you could change something about the fandom what would it be? For me, less whiners, and Hasbro doing more for the adult fans. What are yours?

I'm sure a video game could be produced for its target demographic as well as the older demographic. It would have to be throughly researched and would need the right operating budget. A handheld game is definitely possible, it all depends on how Hasbro wants to market it. They've done it with Transformers, so there is no reason why MLP couldn't get the same treatment. Although this property isn't primarily targeted at boys for the most part. But that demographic is changing. The only way for the cartoon industry to thrive is through adult collectors. That's what the comic book industry is doing.

I agree take a look at this review highlighting all the issues with Sonic the Hedgehog PS3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MWEHwvcnyM

Have you read any palcomix? That has a bit of Sweetie Bell and Big Mac in it.

It depends. Would she like to go meet other fans, and possibly see some of the people who are part of the production team? I think it would be fair to ask her what she would think, if she'd like to go or not. If she's interested, I'd say yeah, take her. Just make sure that she's on her best behavior and make sure you take a lot of money with you. Rest assured during a convention there will be a lot to see and do, but it would also be a good idea to research the convention ahead of time, to see what kind of activities would appeal to her.

They are similar. Furries and Bronies are two sub-cultures that do overlap. Like all things in pop culture you can find them showcased in the marketplace.

Ouch that one must have really mind warped your brain. Some images are just too disqusting. I will have to admit though, if we can "think of something" we will "do it." If you can think it, you will do it. Same with any kind of fetish, but its also important to know what your limit is, and what you can tolerate as far as porn in any fandom. You have to ask yourself, is there a line that can't be crossed. Think Human Centipede!

lol. Do people have lives away from the computer? I hope we still do.
