I can honestly agree. Another of my local friends did basically state the same thing. Another thing I just wanna bring up to anyone that is still following this topic is that one of the people being mistreated by Toon had tried to reach out to others and unfortunately at the time people didn't want to accept that he was a bad person so she suffered backlash for trying to inform others of his actions. So it's important to remember that some people do just try to frame other people but not all the time. It's a tough situation but it is important for everyone to remember that it does happen, it's just an all-around complicated situation. This is kind of hard to explain. @Dark Qiviut at this point I'm still not sure what to fully believe. I'll most likely need to do more research on everything. It is important to me to be careful when taking others word for it. As you can understand this is a large part of this overall issue. Without hard evidence its hard to say what is fully true about how anyone chose to handle the situation. It's just very complicated.

I guess it was a vague statement. I believe I clarified it somewhere. You might not have gotten the memo. Sorry about that.

I'm gonna try to break it down again one more time cause my original post is really long. Toon is garbage. The part that bothers me more is that many people knew about the type of things he was doing. To list a few, he was cheating on people, he was emotionally abusing a girl which is also a crime, he grabbed a girls butt at brony con which also is a crime. So with all these things that became public or where mentioned to other people in the fandom, no ever did anything about it. People knew about this stuff but no did anything to stop him and remove him from the fandom. The other thing that's killing this fandom for me is the number of people that are getting defenses about the reputation of the fandom. The reputation doesn't matter, I'm just trying to give a little advice that could help everyone out in the future. You someone doing terrible things, you kick them out, you warn people of the activity and if its something criminal you report it to the police immediately.

@Key Sharkz I'm going to 100% honest. We have talked briefly on the forums in the past. I didn't really care for you much at all. However, your response was basically a large missing part of my explanation and a really thank you for that. So yes the reputation of this fandom at this point is not important, it's all the people that Toon hurt and the people that knew he was hurting all these other people. Again I really appreciate this, it's good to see some people understand why it's important to look out for others. Even if your afraid your reputation will be scared. It won't, doing the right thing is going to speak much louder than being afraid of the backlash of one creep. @A.V. I've spent the last few nights watching statement videos from former friends and victims of this guy and let's clarify this one last time. PEOPLE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING FOR YEARS! All it takes is to report it. Report to admins, the police, convention security. You also request to be anonymous. Toon is a bastard, but this is more about the community just doing the right thing when we see someone doing things that are wrong.

I don't remember when I said it was the entire pony fandoms fault. I'm also more upset at the fact that people knew about this for years and those people did not do anything about.

How is it causing drama to express my frustration at the number of youtube videos I have watched of people that have been hurt by Toon. The other thing is these people that he was hurting got the same ridicule that I'm getting from you at the moment. You seem to be taking offense because you think I'm trying to make the fandom look bad, but actually, I'm trying to express how terrible this situation is, and that a fandom that prides itself on love and kindness allowed all of the numbers of things Toon did. I was never a fan of Toon. I did not know what kind of person he was up until now. I just never expected to see this fandom be so terrible. I just don't understand why everyone is being so defensive about this?

I thought this fandom believed in love and tolerate... guess things just change. Please, I welcome more comments. Feel free... and be honest.

So the quote was "people found a new way to shit on bronies", so my point was how would anyone shit on bronies for this behavior? This person got caught. There is bound to be more than just Toon. Toon is just the one who got caught so far, or on the other hand because he is such a toxic person that people felt the need to expose him where if other pedo bronies are at least being nice to girls they won't report them to the police?

You truly believe its just one person? Are you sure about that?

Bronies brought this on themselves. There is no one else to blame here.

I'm leaving the fandom because of all this.

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.

That's mainly why I ask. I know stuff happens and I don't wanna be quick to assume things. I'm giving time and waiting for a reply to a message and I'm still being patient, it just helps to be safe sometimes.

So, the title is my question. I've never made requested a commission before so I thought I would ask. If this is in the wrong section of the forums I'm ok with it being moved to the correct place, wasn't really sure where to ask this. Thank you.
