    I have said this kind of thing before. I have been on this topic a lot. The two easy parts to this are the show might end, maybe not. Either way my choice. It's also hard to make new friends or start a relationship when your a fan of mlp and have all this pony junk lying around. It's just kind of the way it I guess.
    So the main reason I'm doing this blog is this is hopefully the last time I'm going to bring this topic up ever again, though it probably won't... damn it. For those that don't know Toonkritic or what he did, well google it. I'm sure most people know. I've thought about this trash way too much, and the more I keep looking into everything that was happening with this guy. It keeps getting so much darker and so much god damn worse. I'm disgusted for far too many reasons, I came into this community based on what so many people were saying about it that, bronys are really caring nice people, they except everyone, they don't do the awful things that all the haters say they do... but it was all a fucking hoax. It's like everyone uses this to get away with horrible shit. "No way, no one would ever do things like Toon did. He's not a real brony then. He's gotta leave". I watched the skype calls, I read several other articles and other videos that have exposed this guy for doing all of the terrible things he did to people, but... there is one other big issue that is quite obvious in all this junk, and the patterns all lead to it. ALL THESE FRIENDS OF TOON TRIED TO COVER IT UP TILL IT WAS TOO LATE! I mentioned somewhere else already that Josh Scorcher should not have been so judgemental of Toon for the fact that he was dating a 16-year-old when he was 23... this still hurts to think about. There is no hard evidence to prove they are all pedo's, but it seems very likely. I've met some of these people, I regret it and wish it never happened. I hate pedophiles for so many reasons as well. I also think I hate myself for not being close-minded and telling myself don't watch the show. I'm not sure I'll return to read comments... maybe I will. Most of the comments are gonna be people trying to defend themselves. I understand. That's why all the brony analysts did what they did... not cause it was the right thing to do, cause they're afraid to lose their power in the fandom. What's all that horse fame worth when all these people are getting hurt, and whats worse where do they go? Who can they talk to and tell? Like someone else said when Toon was groping girls at Cons, no did anything about it, cause he's horse famous... I also know not everyone in this fandom is like this, but it's very unfortunate that it's hard to trust anyone at this point when so many people knew this was going on as well as they probably know about other horrible crap that's still going on. It's hard to associate with other people in a group because of all this. I'm sorry, but all of this last part is more than enough reason that makes it time to move on from all this. It also feels I've been lied to being told bronys are great people and then this giant wall of text. I'm very disgusted.

    So, I know a lot of people are going to say you'll be back in a month but this is actually not the case at all.
     
    First I'll explain why I'm leaving the forums in the most polite and non-finger pointing way possible but its kinda hard to that at times and it is what it is, lets not forget the element of honesty and what it stands for... right?
     
    So after all the things I explained on the forums about myself, I still can't help but feel like I got judged for it in the most negative way possible. I thought this community was about acceptance and FFA look at how many times characters make mistakes in the show yet their are given a second chance and they all prove themselves. How about a list in case we forgot, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Princess Luna, Princess Celestia (I understand she is a "good" character, but has made questionable decisions she's not proud of), Trixie...?, Rainbow Dash, and of course lets not forget about Discord who has made several large mistakes and even in the end Twilight continued to give him a chance and he continues to become a better character. Slowly but dose improve.
     
    I've seen this happen to others on the forums as well, and it's hard for me to think about this with a community that three years ago believed in things like "love and tolerate".
     
    The other thing I can't stop thinking about with this community that made me jump ship is how...? What happened to enjoying the show? What happened to my fan is was for fun because I like the show, and its just fun to make art of my favorite character for the show, or make some fan music or write a fanfic. Why is there so much competition to be a "better artist", or a "pro musician" or get the most subs on youtube. This show, this fandom was about fun... or at least that's what I thought it was, but was crushed and horrible fucking disappointed, like asking for a train set for christmas but getting a toy truck instead.
     
    To rap things up, I came to this forums because I just wanted to try to make friends after loosing all mine, but found most (not all), but still an overwhelming number of people playing popularity contest. I would say Mysterious Mare do Well episode, but then I realized how many people have never seen one episode of the show that are apart of this fandom, which is fine, but at the same time they are a part of the fandom and act like assholes. I know its lot to rap your head around mine to, I've thought so much about this stuff before I understood a lot of the wrongs in all of this, it just hurts to see this community come to this, the people on my friends list that never message me then I realized they are artists in the fandom, not all of the people in my friends, or even people I've msged on the forums that don't keep up with me, and I log on for about one hour a day ffs. I also was a fan artists and I just did art for the fandom because I love this show and loved the fandom, and of course I enjoy drawing art a lot as well. Again a lot of people will think this is rude but no, I'm just being honest, an element from the show that matters to me but seems to have faded from the community.
     
    So, after this blog this is it. I wont be back on the forums ever again. I will continue to watch the show because it is a great show. I will also continue to do fan art and possible post it on D/A, but after my experiences with this fandom. No more.
