Anime is indeed a style that I find myself partaking much enjoyment from.

I would imagine such a thing would be an expensive endeavor.

Returning can be such a blissful thing.

What public figures partake in, in the privacy of their own abodes is none of the public's concern.

A "brony" is a portmanteau of "bro" and "pony," and merely a person who likes MLP: Friendship Is Magic. No more, no less.

As for the OP's question, I think it depends who you're talking to. The fandom's peak came from sometime between 2012 and 2014; Twilight's Kingdom, Part 2 had the most viewers of any episode (788K) in the run. But in terms of personal enjoyment, I go with 2012, '18, and '19. 2012 was my first full year of experience in bronydom, including BC Summmer 2012. 2018 gave me the most fun watching new episodes in years. 2019 had both the fun of watching new episodes along with the fun of being at the last BronyCon.

And now I find myself informed and knowledgable.

Why not leave the drake's personal affairs to himself?

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is a "brony"? The term is not partook in my home.

I have heard the word many a times over the years, but never bothered to ask its translation.

A sad day for the industry of video games, indeed. An individual with a plethora of talent gone to the rock we call home. Solemn, indeed.

Is not what Twilight partakes in considered indentured child servitude? I do not believe most of Equestria would endorse such a thing.

I would not personally take Equestria Daily as a legitimate news source as they have been mistaken numerous times in the past. Also it it worth noting that Tara Strong was already confirmed not to be returning for Gen 5 from leaked material, so it is sufficient to say that her voice on the matter is all but irrelevant. Given that she does not work in the studio any longer, and has no insider information as she will not be employed for Generation 5's production, you should take her word with an exceptional preverbal grain of salt so to speak.

Assume the following: why would someone who does not work in the studio any longer be privy to information that they would have no reason to be told?

Furthermore, the question was framed to her in an ambiguous manner in that Tara could have been responding "in character" as it were, so she was referring to "her" Twilight.

That all being said, I feel the title of this thread is someone teetering toward the "misleading" side of things, as this is far from a confirmation from a reputable source and the question was vague along with the answer given to said question.

A very wise and moral decision by the staff's part. I applaud this.

Someone's avatar is usually an indicator of their interests, and since it is completely admissible to partake in judgment of an individual based upon their own choices, I would say to a degree, it is fair to judge based upon one's choice of an avatar or profile picture. It is after all the image of yourself that you wish to put out there.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been quite a joy for myself. I am over the moon on how many improvements the game introduces and the level of control we now have over our town's customization.

If shipping spoiled the merriment and enjoyment of this series, then it would have never surpassed season one.

This sounds like a pointless grievance.

I am enjoying a quarantined life as I pre-emptively prepare for the inevitable zombie apocalypse we have all envisioned after years of video game consumption.

This I would surmise an accurate description of my past few days, no explanation necessary.

I have a fear of germs.

Not agreeing with the main paragraph, and here it is why, despite I can follow why someone gets the conclusion you got:

1. Trust. Especially if you are building upon or having built a mutual future and life - How is this going to go if you do not trust your partner at all?

2. Jealously. This is like 100% my own opinion, so I don't expect anyone to agree with me here; but my partner is not my possession. I do not see myself being allowed to judge upon my partner, or to dictate on how to live their life.

In regards of #2, a clarification: This is 100% about honesty and being fine for both sides. I actually really despise when people are lying, making up stories to cover the lies up and cheat on their partner(s) in secret. If you do that, you are just reckless, not caring for the damage you do to persons and your environment.

If you have certain wishes....communication is the key. And if there is no compromise found, go by logical consequences which can include not going after your wishes or ending the relationship. Don't be a jerk, especially don't do stuff that you would hate if someone did to you.

I think the thing to take away from this conversation is that a discomfort toward interaction to certain degree with the opposite sexual persuasion should not be taken as a lack of aforementioned trust, but merely a human instinct.

While it is simplistic and "easy" to tell people to merely get past their own jealousies, that is as the saying goes "easier said than done". Remember, many people have been cheated on and abused in past romantic endeavors and that is not something that one "moves past" so easily. Asking them to do so for your sake instead of being sensitive to their needs shows that you care more about oneself than one's partner. It's a dance with two, not just one. To otherwise suggest that the aforementioned "jealous" or "uneasy" party should still get over it is more or less suggesting that those with trauma from past experiences are undeserving of affection, romance and sexual intercourse.

For example, I was cheated on multiple times. I would find it exceptionally uneasy if my partner desired to go hang out at someone home of someone who falls into their sexual preference by themselves. Do I trust my partner? Absolutely. Do I trust the people they are hanging out with? Not necessarily.

Consider the alternate perspective here: it is not always a lack of trust in your partner, but a lack of trust in their "friend" whom you may not be that well acquainted with. I don't have to worry about my boyfriend/girlfriend trying to make a move inherently, I need to worry about this other person making a move on them.

As far as jealousy goes... There is such thing as a healthy amount of jealousy. Jealousy shows that someone is still infatuated by you as they are seeking your attention and approval. Imagine if you will: you go to another girl's house who is fawning of you and showering you with compliments. You feel quite enamored and good about yourself. You go home to your girlfriend who you tell about this and her reaction is one of aloofness. Would that not bother you that she is completely uncaring that someone was trying to steal her significant other? It shows a blatant lack of interest in the relationship and often times this is what leads people to commit adultery. They are not getting validation from their current relationship.

When my significant other gets jealous of people looking at me, I know they are still actively interested in me and I get that validation from them. My previous relationship I seldom got that and it made me feel quite unloved most of the time. That whenever a guy or girl would look my way, they didn't care.

This also often leads to the overconfidence of your partner assuming they "don't need to impress you" anymore. In my case, I worked out daily, I went on diets, I practiced my skills to keep up my appearance and market sexual appeal for my significant other. I wanted them to feel like they were still getting the best version of myself. However, because they didn't have even a slightest bit of jealousy or worry that they would "lose" me in their mind, they put in... No effort. Within 2 years they had gained a good 100 pounds, they stopped caring for my sexual needs (sex became a solo activity that was more or less entirely about them) and they shirked on all responsibilities because they merely assumed that I would continue to put up with it because they had it "in the bag" as the saying goes.

Well, this ultimately led them to getting bored with the relationship and cheating and thus the relationship ended.

This issue is not limited to men or women.

The point is: if you do not have a significant other... Go and do what you wish. Have as many friends of any gender to your heart's desire, however, when you are in a relationship the rules may change and you may have to be respectful to the desires and wishes of your partner within reason. If not, then you should not enter a relationship.

Now, obviously some folk out there may be quite content with their significant other's being friends with whoever, and for those out there, I applaud you for having such bravery, however, it's not the norm and it likely will never be the norm.

Part of the problem in the world is that loyalty is treated as a throwaway trait. The erosion of loyalty often begins with an aloof attitude toward boundaries with other women or men when they are in a relationship.

In short: there is such thing as a healthy amount of jealousy and some people have a hard time trusting because of past violations of aforementioned trust. Don't blame the victim in that case.

I apologize for the length of my response, I had much to speak on this matter.

I think this is a case of "a few bad eggs spoil it for all".

The main reason people are not comfortable with this predicament is because when you are dating or married and your spouse or significant other spends significant time with an individual of the attracted sex, it sometimes ends in infidelity. Since this occurrence does indeed happen, it is not abnormal for people to be protective of their mates. I know I would be very concerned if my significant other started spending an inordinate amount of time with the opposite sex in locations where they would be completely alone.

So in conclusion: cheaters ruin it for everyone. If people didn't cheat, we would not have this problem, but people do.

This is an expected turn of events for any who remain in the sphere of information. While this is all precautionary, it is paramount not to engage in hysteria. The death rates of the virus are very low, and all of these actions are merely as was stated: precautionary. Be wise, do not engage in activity that would aid in the spread of the virus, but also do not panic.

Unless all the bonus material on YouTube goes down the ship with the site one day.

People have ripped the entire DVD sets, special features, etc. all over the net. There is a plethora of places to locate the content to the point where any content that would be "lost" would be in the minority.

So many have vastly archived this show in the digital realm, that the likelihood of it becoming scarce is slim.

EQD has confirmed these are upcoming G4 toyline and not G5.

to be honest, I’m no longer so exited for this movie now that’s not G4 

One should try and keep an open conscious about such endeavors. Assume that G5 could be just as if not more delightful than G4.

Personally, I find both to be quite delectable under the appropriate circumstance; however, I lean more toward the sweet morsel that is a donut at times.
