MLP:FiM discussion and pic dump

[zero_kanipan]

not sure how much of the fandom is in uproar, but theres a petition already going around (link below is a reblogged one with a possible reason why Hasbro gave out the CND. anyway, didn't sign the petition.

this is more of a rant/wtf is this guy talking about?

Point is this. I feel the guys at Hasbro are acting quite like jerks in these last months. First they censore Derpy, then put an Alicorn Twilight in the show just to promote and sell a stupid toy, creating panic all around the fandom (I don’t have anything against Alicorn Twilight, but still). And now they make desist total fan-non-profit-projects.

first and foremost Hasbro is a TOY COMPANY. the purpose of a toy company is TO SELL TOYS. the reason Hasbro isn't very tight on the shows being streamed is due to the fact that they don't actually make money from the show. heck, fans have been asking Hasbro to release DVDs of the show. the whole show is practically one giant commercial.

Derpy issue, Fighting is Magic, "non-profit" projects, i'm along the same lines with this guy:

This, from my point of view, it’s unacceptable.
They are not realizing that they are slowly destroying the fandom by only caring about their own image and interest. They still don’t realize they’re making the success they’re making because of Bronies.

i kinda feel bad, but at this point i laughed. MLP:FiM is Gen 4. FOURTH GENERATION. that means there has been three batches of this series before it. generation one came out 1982. Hasbro has been making money from this series LONG before the brony fandom came out, and before some of the members of said fandom were even born. then there's the fact that the fandom that came about IS NOT EVEN THE TARGET AUDIENCE of Hasbro. the toyline has already been successful long before the fandom got into the picture, and it prolly will be with or without it.
