The term "hasdrone"

[Pony Of The Month 534]

Unfortunately, critics don't get the respect they deserve. They are often labeled as "haters" and aren't taken seriously by some people. Sure, there are critics who don't offer anything constructive, but that doesn't mean that any criticism shouldn't be allowed. 

 

That being said, the same thing is happening to those with something positive to say. You can't say you like Equestria Girls without someone calling you a hasdrone, even if you acknowledge its flaws. 

 

If you ask me "hasdrones" don't exist within the fandom. In my eyes, a true "hasdrone" is just some critic outside of the fandom who is paid by hasbro to write positive reviews. I don't think that even exists. But recently, Equestria Daily has been accused by some to be doing this. They just expressed a positive opinion, and are being accused of being hasdrones.

 

Obviously, a lot of people have a different definition of a hasdrone than I do. To a lot of people, it means someone who praises anything with ponies in it. But I'm not sure how many people actually do that. I mean, people have been accused of doing that just for liking Magical Mystery Cure or Equestria Girls. No one ever takes that person's least favorite episode into consideration. If they like MMC or EQG, they are obviously a hasdrone. That's the mindset that many people have.

 

I could go on for days about how much I hate Games Ponies Play, but because I happen to like Magical Mystery Cure and Equestria Girls, I'm a hasdrone, who blindly loves anything with ponies.

 

And what people always forget, is subjectivity. Now, I'd be lying if I said there's no such thing as objective criticism. There is. It just can't be applied to everything. 

 

tl;dr- I hate the term "hasdrone" as much as I hate people being labeled as "haters."

Agreed completely, just because someone is for something dosen't mean they are in bed with Hasbro and just because someone is skeptical or criticizes something dosen't automatically make them a hater. Alot of what makes someone a "hasdrone" as you put it or a hater is the reasoning behind either the praise of the criticism if it is at least based on logic than I may or may not agree with it but I will respect it.
