Good message from Makaryo. They always have entertaining videos.
I remember when G5 came out, there were people online getting into heated debates or spammed just for liking some parts of G5. I think it's unacceptable that people are giving death threats just for liking the series. It's insane. This is a series about friendship and even if you disagree with someone's opinions, you should still show some respect for their opinion regardless if you like it or not.
I recall when I had my old account here over a year ago, I said that I really liked Applejack and there were a few people here who were calling her " country trash", "background pony", and several other expletive things that I cannot type here. It really sucked to see that as I don't know anyone else IRL to share my enjoyment of the series and was hoping to meet others online to share that feeling. Thankfully those people don't seem to be here anymore, but I was shocked that there existed some people within the fandom like that despite the show's wholesome values.
I have met people who have told me that they personally like G5 better than G4, but they did not go off into rants or anything like that. We were all respectful of each other's opinions and shared our different opinions on the series with no issues. I particularly enjoy several parts of G5 despite how Hasbro has been mapping out the entire series (though that's a separate issue), but I am always surprised to see some older fans go off on large rants on why G5 is the worst thing in existence and gate keep the franchise in general stating that "G4 was the best series and only series that matters". That is the complete opposite of the show's message. Those people need to learn that opinions are subjective, but respect for others should always be objective. It is something that we as a fandom should always be striving for.
MLP is for everyone and we should be able to enjoy whatever parts of the franchise we want in peace.
