Old thread is old, but abso-fucking-lutely.
I use to love this fandom to bits (my only gripe back then was how they treated Celestia), but once 2019 hit, it all went downhill from there. It got so bad, from the Season 9 drama to the Pony Life reveal, and the general ugliness of the fandom really showed. You know things have sunk to a massive low when death threats were being sent to the crew. And don’t even get me started on SaveMLP and the SaveEquestriaGirls cult.
Things seemed to have gotten better, but G5 seemed to also open up another can of worms with so many G4 purists trying to ruin the fun for everyone, and it seems like it isn’t gonna slow down if the G5 comics are anything to go by.
It’s kinda funny how the show preached morals about friendship and acceptance, yet the fandom doesn’t seem to care or even follow those morals. Like, at all.
