Description

Seriously, if the voices or animation are different in season 4 we now know why, in short the haters are threatening to ruin the MLP FIM franchise by chasing away the staff over EG

NSFW What of it you little shitbitch? You’re telling me your pimply shitstained ass wouldn’t be annoyed at having your public accounts spammed with people calling you out as the cum-starved pussbucket you are? Go back to gargling your father’s cock. Or kill yourself, I don’t care, you’re utterly pathetic either way.

And if the voices and animations fall that much, we’ll know it was entirely justified to hate the new direction. So as Kirby would say, Right Back Atcha, random unimportant netizen!

Y’know, I think it’s a li’l ridiculous to write off the recent E.G. drama as some kinda big “conspiracy,” and trying to say the anti-E.G. crowd are completely “innocent.” Both sides are to blame for the drama.  
Perhaps some of the “trolling of the makers of the show” is a bit exaggerated, but I wouldn’t completely write-off that people ooposed to E.G. aren’t overreacting, and trolling. (Remember how people freaked out over Twilight getting wings, the wedding 2-parter, or even “Derpygate?”)  
You can’t say there ISN’T any proof, Megan made a remark about it, >>325303 and Sibsy joked about it. >>325155  
So it sure sounds like people are trolling them via e-mail, and such. (But at least they seem to be taking it in stride, and having a sense of humor about it.) What more “proof” do you need? Maybe the “Equestria Daily” article exaggerated a bit, but regardless they still have a point that people should remain calm, and leave the makers of the show alone. E.G. has already been made, so there’s no stopping it.
 
No offense, but from looking at some of the comments below, it’s getting a li’l hard to respect the opinions of the anti-E.G. crowd when they’re trying to make themselves out to be the “victims” of this situation, and the pro-E.G., or neutral-E.G. crowd into the “bad guys” who are somehow oppressing them, somehow “conspiring” against them, and crap. That’s ridiculous, and it’s really dividing up the fanbase…
 
As for me, I don’t think E.G. looks like an “amazing blockbuster,” nor a “blasphemous abomination.” Overall, I’m “neutral” on E.G. I don’t care either way. They said it’ll have no affect on the main MLP:FiM series, so there’s no need to panic, or worry about it “replacing” our beloved ponies.

It’s a lot less “quitting” and a lot more “hey, your next contract is up. You want FiM S5 or LPS?”.

DHX? Not really, but they need to grow a backbone if internet comments make them want to quit their job.
 
Bronies? Sure, they’d make up anything if they thought it would help their argument.

@kassarc16  
In other words, you find it more likely that the DHX staff and/or the bronies who talk with them are lying and spreading rumors in order to suppress negative criticism, than that some of the anti-EqG group have decided to attack the people who made a movie they’re convinced is a threat to their beloved show?

That’s “elitist?” You mean you want people who attack the people who make the show to remain in the fandom, and give all the sane FiM-fans/bronies, and sane people who don’t like E.G. a bad reputation?
 
I know not all E.G.-haters are like that, but I’d rather not have the A-holes who take it that far, and harrass/troll people with differing opinions, or even the makers of the show personally. But that’s just me… Still, we can’t just “kick people out” of the fandom, or create witch-hunts, so it’s best to just ignore people like that who cause trouble.

To be fair, it would help alot if BOTH sides would chill about it a bit. You can have a favorable, or unfavorable opinion of it, but neither arguing, or needlessly bashing it constantly, is going to make it any “better,” or cancel it.  
Hasbro/DHX already made it so there’s no stopping it.
 
Personally, I just have a “neutral” opinion on E.G. I don’t think it looks like an “amazing blockbuster” nor like a total “blasphemous abomination.”

“Keep your negative opinions at a minimum until EG comes.”
 
Nope. I won’t. The trailer blew. It blew hard. The film might be good, but the trailer didn’t help at all. I won’t say “That movie sucks”, but I will say that the trailer dampened the last shreds of expectation I had left.
 
And of course I wouldn’t attack the show’s creators. That would be like biting the hand that has fed me… adequately well.

Uh, the BP specifically said “keep your negative opinions of EqG at a minimum until it arrives, m’kay?” It’s not different from saying “everyone with a negative opinion needs to shut up!” in a different image. Mungoman, along with myself and others, pointed out that BP was also being ridiculous when he said “EqG is just the studio’s way of testing our brony faith,” which has the elitist implication that people who don’t like EqG aren’t True Fans tm, and BP’s childish response is “no, YOU are the dumb one!” BP is taking things one big step up from “trolls need to shut up!”

This doesn’t seem to be a case of “you’re opinions are different from mine, and annoy me, therefore they’re bad.” This seems to be more of like he’s telling people,  
“It’s ok to dislike E.G., but don’t attack the staff just ‘cause you don’t like E.G.” That seems to be all he’s saying to me. You’re both the ones who are overreacting, and twisting what he’s saying.
 
He even said “It’s ok to not like E.G.” Didn’t you see that part?
 
‘Cause apparently there are some actually hassling staff members of the show. Perhaps it’s probably not as bad as some are trying to say, and exaggerated a bit, but there are some ’causing trouble, and need to chill.

First, you don’t attack other users.  
Second, in this thread it’s quite the opposite.  
Because it is a really dumb thought, period. The Mungoman explained why, and you just offended, instead of replying with your reasons and point of view.

@Background Pony  
Let me get this straight.
 
Just because negative opinions annoy you we shouldn’t voice our thoughts?  
Shut up. Shut up right now. Go sit in the corner, and think about what you just said.
 
I don’t care wether my opinions annoy you. I will voice them, and no one saying “Calm down” or “Just wait” is going to stop that. If I think I have something to say, I will say it, no matter how many people hate me for it.
 
Also, what was up with all that testing our faith bullcrap? Do you seriously believe that Hasbro gives a crap about the brony community? Do you think they even knew there was an Alicorn Twilight controversy? The writers, maybe, but Hasbro? Never. They are merely the employers and distributors. They pull the strings but have no insight into the small circle that is the brony community.  
How the flip does it help them if we are loyal to them? Sell a couple more blindbags within the millions parents buy for their little girls? Most of us are here for the show, but the plastic junk is where the profit lies.
 
All in all, you have your opinions, I have mine.  
Just don’t you ever criticize my opinion, because those are not open for critique. EVER.

It might be exaggerated, but actually some members of the staff did joke about getting harassed by some people. >>325155
 
So writing it off as “there’s nobody attacking the staffers,” is a bit ignorant.

Oh, right, totally. I’m quite sure there are trolls lurking everywhere. There have been no shortage of people who hate the show and the fans, and actively go for any weakness they can find.
 
I still think it was nice to remind staff we appreciate all they’ve done. They still put a lot of effort into the “worst” episodes. I’m still entertained by the things those ponies do, even if an entire episode doesn’t grab me as a whole.

@kassarc16  
No proof.
 
I suspect that the only evidence we would see is some sort of announcement stating they had already left the show.
 
As a skeptic myself, I understanding all about wanting solid evidence. It’s a perfectly reasonable thing to ask for. I imagine it would get rather tiresome to help lift the show staff’s spirits every time something bad happened, especially if it were based on only a rumor. It’s quite a bit like “crying wolf”, that way.
 
On the other hand, having been part of various fandoms for 15+ years, I’m not at all surprised that some fans would go to very unusual extremes. Considering how very outspoken and passionate MLP:FIM fans have been for/against MLP:EG, I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if some fans did make it a point to personally attack show staff. With fandoms of our size, it’s practically a given.
 
As I saw it, supporting show staff seemed like a good idea anyway, considering all the drama we’ve had back-to-back. Folks may not agree with EG, Twilicorn, but are all here because of ponies. It seemed like a good enough reason for me. YMMV.

“B-b-but I am right! My fellow zealots agree with me!”  
8/10 ruseman, made me laugh.  
@ArrJaySketch  
Since we’re not privy to the so-called threats, for all we know the staff is being harassed by trolls rather then by looney fans. Kind of like how the BP above is likely a satire of pro-EqG fans rather then genuine.
