MK15 68 September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 What's happened? Why the fandom is become so terribly negative toward the show at the point that people are bashing everything about it except the first season? I've seen a terrible negativity in forums lately, bronies are insulting very badly, they know only word violence now.... it's look like that there's not anymore difference between haters and bronies... what's going on? Why all this negativity? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastementSparkle 20,334 September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 I'm not seeing that much negativity here really. Sure there are some people criticizing bits of the show but most of them are being fair about it. There's the occasional person here and there who seems to hate everything for no good reason, but every fandom and group has some of those. The majority of people from what I've seen are actually pretty happy with it right now. 19 Twilight is best pony. Why hello MLPForums! What have ya been up to?

Shift 4,274 September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 Mate, the fandom has not gone negative, you have. I am sure that very few people have seen a startling amount of negativity. The fandom is not dying, or becoming negative, whatever. In fact, Season 4 is getting a LOT of praise. We have had this thread appear many times. Where did you get the whole 'fandom is negative' thing from? 16 Have the courage to think and act on your own. And have the courage to disobey.

Ashen Pathfinder 16,162 September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 I honestly have not noticed an increase in negativity on these forums, and this is coming from someone who is on a hiatus from an IndyCar forum because of negativity. Really, some people might get critical, but I fail to see the bashing you describe. 4 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuyon 43 September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 I am not seeing this either, but remember that the negativity you see only accounts for a small part. The old saying the squeaky wheel gets the grease. The complainers in any community are always more noticeable than the more positive ones because the negative tends to draw like feelings and cause a scene. 2 Always looking for RPs and partners.

QuirkyUsername 1,576 September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 There is negativity here and there but it's really not that big an issue. Any congregation of people will have disagreements on certain subjects and with this large amount of people I can kinda see where it may seem overly negative but it's really not.

The people of that forum have turned into some of the worst fans I've ever seen.... It's so terrible... Digibrony not a member of MLPF. That is actually something that many fans don't like ... the negative minority. Why do you think I'm on this message board instead of others? It's not because of some MLPF Master Race thing ... discussions here are civil and the show is still appreciated. I expect that this board represents the vast majority of fans, and you are only seeing the loud ones since the drown out the sensible guys and gals like us. Which is good news if you like passionate Pony luvs ... we we have that right here. Season 4 was amazing! And saying you don't like an episode or character or season doesn't make you a bad fan anyway. I want to burn all of Season 7 of ST:TNG except that last episode. I'm still a good fan. I'm not a fan of some of the Star Wars Prequels ... but I'm still a good fan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked pretty much all the episodes. In fact there isn't an episode I hate or even really dislike. I usually find something to enjoy about each episode. Season 4 was amazing and I am excited about season 5. ^^ 3 Always looking for RPs and partners. Feel free to approach me to chat or set up RPs.

Cwanky 17,623 September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 Seriously, I know there was a lot of concerns about Twilicorn early on that persisted, and some particularly harsh criticisms of a few episodes namely, Fili Vanilli and Rainbow Falls, but the vitriol hasn't escalated to the levels in Season 3, where many fans threatened to or just outright left the fandom. Also people are entitled to their opinions, even if their views may seem meanspirited and unreasonable. You don't have to agree with what others believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adachi 772 September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 I haven't noticed a change, at least nothing major. If anything, the honeymoon is over and people are just finding bits of the show to pick at now.

Ashen Pathfinder 16,162 September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 Be careful when it comes to analysts. I almost made the mistake of listening to some a little too much; almost relying on them as their opinion was gold. In the end, some analysts tend to over anazlyse and, IMO, that kinda ruins the point of enjoying a show like FiM. 2 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
