I've lost faith in McCarthy after S3. It's just like she's not even trying anymore. It's not that Twilight just got a pair of wings. It's that S1 Twilight has been practically killed. Where's that cute, socially awkward and neurotic unicorn we all loved in S1? Oh, that's right. She's a princess now, outgoing, social and is loved by everyone, with no flaws whatsoever. You know, because every little girl wants to be a princess.

I can't believe people still actually believe that 'Love and Tolerance' is serious. 1° This is not the fandom motto 2° It's a 4chan joke no one uses anymore because you all turned it into the 'brony code' 3° The show has never been about love and tolerance, at all 4° Tolerance =/= acceptance To answer your questions: >How does music and art effect us? I believe most music in this fandom is generic trash, so it's not a big influence. My influence are fics, which I write to improve my English. >How have we effected the internet in general? This fandom has a heavy and notable load of content by now. R34, images, etc. I'm rather impressed, honestly. >How do people truly see us, trolling aside? Casual and the average Joe might see us as freaks or homosexual. You know, the common stuff. Don't think everyone has open arms for whatever you like.

They will change it, now that Princess Suelicorn has wings. It might not be a extreme remake, but something similar and fitting. (Like swapping Rainbow for Twilight on the first cutscene where she flies to Ponyville)

Plot was generic and cheap feel inducing. I'm sure I've seen a fic or comic about Luna having a friend and then finding out she was long dead after her return, 1000 years later. Animation was pretty neat. Not show-tier, but very good enough for a fanmade project. For me, characters felt bland and unlikeable. It was nice enough. Way better than that OC crappy 20 minute long animation called Dawn Dusk or something. Only animation that will beat it will be Double Rainboom, or 'Brony Memes: The Episode' as I call it.

I'm not proud of being a 'brony' as I'm not proud of playing videogames or watching sitcoms. And I'm not saying I'm ashamed. I'm just not proud of liking a cartoon for little girls, because I don't feel special or important. I don't feel the need to think I'm a special snowflake for watching this show.

Don't know. Maybe because most of this fandom always gives a sugarcoated opinion without any reason, and anyone who dissagress or dislikes their points of view is a troll/hate To respond your question, I think some people are backing up the finale because it was terrible and a lot of people can see what's wrong with it. The finale was mediocre at best, plot-wise. SUDDENLY EVERYTHING IS CHAOS, OH WHAT AM I GONNA DO? OH RIGHT, USE FRIENDSHIP! THERE, ALL SOLVED! CONGRATULATIONS, TWILIGHT, HAVE WINGS! NOW I'M A PRINCESS! Yes, yes, I realize this is a girl's show, and that we shouldn't expect deep stories, but c'mon, this was a kick to the groin. The pacing was godawful, thing that would have been nicely solved in a two-parter. I didn't mind the songs, and the writing had a lot of inconsistencies. Rainbow's destiny is not being a weather pony, for example.

Celestia said that Starswirl didn't understand friendship as Twilight did. This could imply that Starswirl understood friendship, just not like Twilight. I'm still bothered by the fact that he creates like 200 spells and gets nothing, yet Twilight finishes one of them and becomes a princess. Just more fuel to Twilight's MarySueism.

It's not like DeLancie did the documentary from the bottom of his heart. He did it solely for the money, acting like the hero of the bronies. That's the reason why he's so upset.

Yes, I agree with most of the article, and pretty much sums up my opinion about bronydoc. Shame the whole thing was too 'strong' for this site.

What exactly did this accomplish? To show the world how great the fandom is? How special the fandom is? To try and justify, in your minds, that watching a children’s television show makes you some kind of hero? Bronyism is not a movement. This is an insult to those who truly do struggle to change things in the world. A pony fan will not be paid less in the workplace because of liking a children’s cartoon show. A pony fan will not be prevented from marrying because they enjoy a children’s cartoon show. A pony fan will never see war, or create peace, by liking a children’s cartoon show. Lauren Faust may have pushed feminism by creating a children’s show for girls that isn’t terrible, but fans of the show have no right in sharing that claim. Faust and her colleagues put their livelihoods and their reputations on the line by breaking away from the norm in their industry. Their success is theirs alone, paid for in blood, sweat and tears. Pony fans have paid nothing of the sort. They simply watch television. Pony fans are not special. There are fandoms for nearly everything that exists on the Internet: Homestuck, furries, Doctor Who. These fandoms also have artists, musicians, newscasters and just plain fans that create and support official and unofficial content of what they are fans of. They have charities and fundraisers. They have their drama and pornography. Some even have conventions, containing many people with stories of good, evil, and everything in between. A pony fan is simply someone who exists within the My Little Pony fandom. They may watch the show, they may not. They might be good people, or bad people. But liking a children’s television show is not what defines a person as good or bad. Their actions do. To try and tell others that this isn’t the case, to try and construe a group of people too large and diverse to feasibly place under one banner as a single entity? All for the sole purpose of making themselves feel better about doing something they enjoy? Is this really the community you want to show people? I hope these editorials will give those of you who backed this documentary, and those who helped work on and create it, something to think about. You cannot erase the past, but you can question yourself and learn these lessons for the future. Try to educate yourself, in knowing when you are being persuaded into wanting something, in knowing what the possible consequences of such projects would entail. Most of all, I hope this installs a bit of humility for everyone who reads this. My advice though? Next time you have money burning a hole in your wallet and you’re looking for self-gratification, buy an adult toy. They are cheaper, will last you longer, and the public won’t have to see you do it.

I mean, look at them. Similar mane style, same gender, same race, similar eyeballs! They must be sisters! There's no other explanation!

What bothers me is people who hate on whatever they don't like and point it as the 'bad' side of the fandom "LEL R34, CLOPFICS AND GRIMDARK ARE THE BAD PART OF THE FANDOM!!!" No, they're not, dumbass. The rabid white knights who hate on those things just to make themselves look like the 'good brony' are the worst kind of cancer this fandom has. "STOP LIKING WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE WRONG!!11" Do everyone a favor and shut up. No one cares if you despise Molestia, or filly shipping or incest, etc. You're not the fandom's judge, and you are no one to decide what is right and what is wrong.

>Would trade her friends for fame You did watch the 'Sweet and Elite' episode, right? You do realize you just gave a nonsensical reason to dislike her, right?

Any source on that? Anyway, I don't care if she comes back or not. I just think this whole Derpygate drama shook Hasbro very hard. Now that things seem to have settled down, maybe she could come back. But, as said, I'm indifferent.
