I honestly don’t have my hopes up that things will change if G5 will end up being worse than G4. Mostly because people who will be comparing it, will be comparing it to later seasons, not first ones. So it might be “G5 is worse then G4, but still better then first seasons”. And yeah, some people are getting pretty gross about wishing everything should crash and burn just because it’s not the way it was in 2012-2013. It’s a sad thing to see.
Ah, I didn’t noticed that it was you who posted about fanfiction. Well, for me it sounded like “anyone can write a fanfic, so it’s nothing special”. Which is, if this discussion is anything to go by, probably not what you ment, but this is how it looked like to me when I first read it. I guess the lesson of this thread is that people aren’t as extreme or negative as we thing they are when they are saying things and it’s easy to be caught up in a loop of perceiving things the way you expect them to be. It’s true that I sometimes assume that people are more negative then they really are, but… it’s a death by a thousand needles situations. It’s getting harder and harder to just be in this fandom with a positive opinion on Faust. As I’ve said, this thread was fairly tame, but even here, after staring long enough at what people are saying in a polite and respectful fashion, I’m starting to feel that I’m a crazy person or have no taste, because I like first seasons. Like there were nothing special about them and everything after was just better. But I don’t feel that way, I feel that there was something special about them that was lost in later ones, and I love that “something special”, but there’s less and less people who will agree with that, and more and more people who will dismiss the way I feel (even though, these are my feeling and I know how I felt). There are still people who agrees, but there are less and less of them, and the change is happening right before my eyes. I’m actually, no exaguration, feel more and more like an outcast as years go by. Like I have to explain myself everytime I say that I liked it more when Faust worked on the show. Like people who like first seasons aren’t fans of the show anymore or MLP in general, like they’re just fans of Faust and they should just exist in their own corner. And I’m not looking forward to the moment when it’ll stop being just a cruel play of my imagination after staring at comments for too long, because I fear that this moment is coming.
