What did I miss in the fandom?

Recommended Posts

I posted this here because I couldn't find somewhere that it would fit better. I was a brony back in 2012-2013. I have since quit and semi-came back. I left because Megan McCarthy was reducing Season 4 to a solid pile of garbage. All the people I've known in the fandom have pretty much left. I don't know anyone famous or otherwise in this still. So really, who is popular around here and what did I miss?

Wow Me? famous? wow now that's a surprise I'm so honoured XD

 

 

You have THE most successful commissions shop in this entire community X3

 

and I'm pretty dang sure that every artist on this site regards you as one of if not THE best artist we've got here.

 

 

 

 

Waow not on your list #triggered

 

Apologies , I usually use this site for the Forum games and Roleplay, Also , you're still fairly new to this site and while you have gained a great reputation, the ones on my list have gained a sort of famous status on the forums and have usually been on this site for quite a long time. O_O

But seriously, to be honest I have been never thinking about this in such way. I am only a guy who loves drawing, making people happy and just doing my job. I feel very happy knowing now that people might consider me as a famous person. Who knows...maybe someday I get invited to some US convention - just jokin' :P

My question: why does this fandom idolize popular fans so much?

My question: why does this fandom idolize popular fans so much?

My guess is its a side effect of the large number of talented Brony youtubers, artists, and authors that populate our Fandom. Though I feel there are some idolized folks in other Fandoms as well,I can't really say as this is the only Fandom I'm most committed towards.

 

though I don't think they're idolized that much. 

 

Sidenote: that question makes for an interesting debate pit topic ^ ^

Since this has to do with the Brony fandom specifically, I'm thinking it's better off in Sugarcube corner. But I could be wrong. :)

Several questions I have:

 

Why are you coming back if you claim the show went downhill?

 

Why do you need popular people in the fandom to justify being in it?

I remember being happier when I was in the fandom and I never needed justification, I just wanted to know because all of the people I've known have since left.

I dunno who is popular anymore, but the fandom is still going strong in my eyes.

 

I think its still growing, the last bronycon was bigger than ever and all the other cons have followed suit as well. But I understand where you're coming from. The site that I used to frequent pushed away bronies so it feels to me (and many others on that site) that the fandom was dead but it was really just a toxic, unsupportive community.

You said toxic community, I suppose I forgot to mention I thought the fandom itself was not its original integrity. It seemed that every 10-year-old on the block was a "brony" because they wanted to be edgy and different. Granted, that's not nessecarily toxic, just kind of insulting in my mind.

Different reasons like having someone to relate to, keeping us busy when there's no episode coming or outside of it. But I think it's also part of the Internet culture to idolize popular fans. And Bronies belong to that culture.

 

Back on topic, I didn't feel fans where quitting the show during S4. It happened somewhere around S5, with redeeming villains as one of the reasons. I mean what the f*ck where the writers thinking after I heard they redeemed Diamond Tiara. If I had to choose how she'll end between forgiving her or kicking her out of town I'll choose the second option. And yes, Starlight's redeeming was stupid too.


Japan, where Yo-Kai Watch's second movie has more success than The Force Awakens :umad:

Well, my interaction on this site is very limited to say the least, but if I were to be naming "popular" people off this site, I'd have to go with what said.

 

As far as other places go, I probably can't give you a whole lot of information on that because most of it would probably be opinionated anyway.

Someday, I will be on this list, someday...


I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia, Looking for nothing short of a miracle, I only ever wanted to come home, Please won't you let me go? When I have nowhere left I can run away, Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay? Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb. Then pull the trigger and send me home.

A very audible minority to say the least.

Nixon said it best:

 

"The silent majority"

 

Albeit the context was for voting, but it applies in a great deal including fandoms.

 

 

As for popular, I don't think we have popular such as The Living Tombstone anymore. However we do have a great deal of popular artist who are rising up the ranks to fill places like TLT left. I'm taking popular as in reference to famous mlp creators. Famous is irrelevant to me however, it is all about the quality of music, art, etc.

Yeh I know what you mean

 

I meant not this website but another website that made it a very toxic community
