Unpopular opinion time

People have been predicting the toypocalypse since the 80s. It’s not happening. Toys are always going to make a comeback.

Kids may love smartphones, but smartphones are rapidly pricing themselves beyond the limit where I’d be comfortable letting a kid anywhere near one.

She may become the new Derpy

@Twi Clown
It’s because there was a massive void lacking recent pony content, then suddenly this Tamers dude comes along and produces an hour long fanwork.

In some ways it’s revived the fandom and inspired people to make new content.

I quite enjoy it, love how it goes from shitpost edginess to proper decent in a matter of seconds. AJ’s crappy CG voice is hilarious too.

@CoffeeHorse
Wanna bet?

@Blissful690
Hey, it’s just one.
Besides, Hasbro will still remain.

@Blissful690
Also, i wouldn’t trust ClownfishTV for one, not sure on the account linked.

@Blissful690
I’m skeptical towards that, I’ll believe it when I actually see it and not some random article that a writer pulled out of their ass

@Mr.Myoozik
Agreed.

@Mr.Myoozik
And the person who made this Twitter post literally told the #SaveMLP guy to “believe and hope for G4 to be brought back and fixed”. <_< Man, this is just checking all the boxes on my “I can trust this source” list…really hope this is satire.

Thing pony exists. It’s not that strange.

@Blissful690
So if the article is true, MLP is no longer a proper part of Hasbro, only the stuff in the animated logo is.

The stranger part about Flawless Sparklemoon is that she’s a post-S4 thing that became really popular without a shitload of official screentime. Though given she’s literally a fusion of two S1 characters it’s probably not that surprising. With the latest set of background characters posted in the thread two weeks ago, it was only in the last 12 hours that someone other than me suggested a name for a pony other than the two cosplaying Celestia and Luna, such is our obsession with older content over newer.

Then again, me liking something seems to kill its popularity like birds in a mushroom cloud. I saw Koleda Belobog before she was named; right now she’s the least popular female character in the entire Hoyoverse.

Ill be blunt this Flawlwss Sparklemoon sounds like an edgelord. I dont know if this animation is my style.

@Mr.Myoozik
Who knows. I’ll give it some months.

We are not exactly that lacking in content all things considered.

@Angrybrony
With so many OC’s, fimfiction always throwing stories and stuff, I needed specifics about why that one really stick.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I’m deliberately waiting for a couple of weeks before watching. I’d rather avoid hype of any kind before watching myself.

That’s part of the appeal I imagine; She’s an edgy “baby’s first Twixie offspring” in a work that’s made to call back to early brony fandom content. I think the videos are neat, but as someone who hasn’t really been apart from pony content since starting it and has enjoyed a lot of the pony material in the meantime, the nostalgia part is kind of wasted on me.

I don’t really care about Flawless.

@Wiimeiser
I think you are overthinking things

Again

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
Is this about the first part or the second part?

@Wiimeiser
Both

@CloudMistDragon
Honestly, ClownfishTV, while I wouldn’t trust them, does have their videos be a 50-50 (50% they’re wrong & another 50% they’re right).
So, it’s a mixed bag. 🤷

IF this whole thing is true, then it gives a very poor look on Hasbro and like they’re in a room full of dynamite playing with matches
