  1. I really can't imagine how Sonic fans are feeling right now. Seriously, this looks just so godawful. What's also horrifying is that Jim Carrey will play the role of Robotnik. Stuff like this makes me appreciate the MLP movie even more.
  2. People need to stop being reactive and instead be more proactive, as in working on ways to get around this. One, people can get a VPN. Two, if worse comes to worse, websites can block access in the EU completely so people can get such VPN. The fandom can also make their own decentralized platform if they so wish. Also, EU member nations can interpret the directive anyway they wish. If anything, they don't have to enforce it. Some countries are even working against it.
  3. This also needs to be said. No matter which site you operate on, you should never put all your eggs in one basket. That's why you need to have backup sites, because stuff like this is bound to happen. Now all the Tumblr exclusive users are learning this the hard way.
  4. To me, MLP as a whole (the show and the fandom) offers escapism like no other. How ponies are such an alternative to humans (and traditional anthro characters for that matter) with their flavored personalities, simple designs and expressiveness. There are unlimited possibilities for stories about them, from simple slice of life stories to epic adventures. Plus, the world of MLP is pretty much a blank canvas, so there are virtually limitless possibilities for worldbuilding, canon and fanon.
  5. The worst part about it is that this is a sign of what's yet to come. This won't be the only kind of thing to happen, cause in the coming years, other sites may follow suit. It wouldn't just take out portions of the fandom, but all fandoms. Fandom work has a right to exist, because it is a beacon of creativity and offers entertainment and escapism that no original media (whether it be novels, films, TV shows, anime, comic books, video games, etc) can provide. Plus that fan works aren't made by professional writers, filmmakers, or developers, but ordinary people who either go to school or work 9 to 5 jobs.
  6. If you can afford it, you can use Houdini Indie for Vfx. For compositing, you can use Natron or the free version of Fusion. Instead of Zbrush, you can use Sculptris for character modeling, while using Blender for rigging and animation. For rendering, you can use Renderman.
  7. The fact that net neutrality is gone and Article 13 is on the verge of being passed doesn't help either. We are one step closer towards having a totally stripped down internet. On top of that, artistic creativity will be severely limited. I tell you, when the 2020s come along, the internet will be completely different, and in the worst possible way. This is why we need to push for a decentralized web now more than ever, so we can escape from the overregulation from governments and corporations.
  8. Yeah, but I'm sure a lot of the art you've seen on there was posted on Tumblr. Even if all MLP porn is banned there, at least it's still on Derpibooru.
  9. It's only a matter of time before people start finding and create alternatives. My prediction is that Tumblr will lose so much traffic that they won't be able to sustain themselves.
  10. https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/3/18123752/tumblr-adult-content-porn-ban-date-explicit-changes-why-safe-mode This will really suck for the porn art communities, especially the clop community. I guess it's time to find alternatives.
  11. I'd be fine with romance as long as there's good chemistry. I'd like to see G5 cover more genres besides SoL, Comedy, and Adventure like G4.
  12. To me that's all that matters, and I'm perfectly fine with still having a female dominated cast.
  13. Even then, I don't think ALL changeling hives have to be metamorphosed.
  14. Even then, it's been said that there's going to be a new cast. The ponies shown aren't even going to be the mane cast.
  15. G4 has mainly been a slice of life/comedy show with occasional adventure shows. G5 on the other hand, is expected to be more adventure focused, contrary to G4. If that's the case, what do you personally think a G6 would be like?
  16. Ok, so all the changelings who transformed were ruled under Chrysalis. Even, then, not all of them were instantly transformed. It begs the question, what other changeling queens or kings are out there that potentially have even bigger changelings kingdoms, and non that have been transformed like the ones under Chrysalis? It would show that not all changelings are as they are now and are still black with holes.
  17. That'd be fine, I just don't want the Young 6 to end up replacing the Mane 6 as the Elements of Harmony bearers.
  18. I mean, it doesn't HAVE to have more male characters. I would just like to see the show go beyond what G4 has done.
  19. Yes that is true. There are still some male characters that could appear frequently, like the CMC.
  20. I'm not saying we should have them just for the sake of having them, it would just be nice to have some diversity (not talking about the SJW kind) in the cast.
  21. Since G4 had a dominant female cast, do you think G5 should increase the number of female characters? I'm not just talking about minor characters like Big Mac and Shining Armor, but I mean ones who would get more screen time. If Hasbro is going to want to appeal to a wider audience, then I think it would be reasonable if they did that. It would also be a good way for fans to create more straight ships since people don't have to keep resorting to lesbian ships like with G4.
  22. This is a great sign that Hasbro is against the SJW culture. Hopefully they'll hire a show runner who's actually competent.
  23. I'll focus on Hazbin Hotel until G5 comes out.
  24. The new She-Ra is yet another example of diversity over quality. Plus, I'm just hoping that G5 won't go for the kind of art style you'd see on Tumblr.
