Just to let you know, I’m not doomposting or any negative shit. I’m undergoing a state of confusion and internal debate that will run the course of my time in this community. given the state of things now, I don’t know what to do and the frustration and stress hasn’t quite left me. Time after time, I have to vent and express my grievances about the future of the franchise and the community around it. and since if can’t access MLPforums given that the site banned my right when i made my first account I only have derpibooru, fimfiction and reddit to express my concerns.
please you have to tolerate this sort of thing because Honestly, I’m experiencing moments of conflict and i have to sometimes vent considering i don’t exactly know what to do. I want to still come up with concepts, premises and ideas for fanfic stories, but time after time, I look back at the state of this fandom and the ending of G4 looming over the horizon as well as it’s legacy after it ends and during the hiatus and course of G5 and beyond. it makes me question what and why I’m here at a time when the community is experiencing decline and if there is any point in me staying.
Since production and development of FiM has wrapped up and ended. Looking back, I’m quite impressed it lasted as long as it did and here’s hoping the community doesn’t entirely forget about this Generation during the G5 Hiatus and the course of G5. And i hope people will still make fanart and fanfiction based around G4.It’s too good and too recognizable. I wouldn’t want to call myself a full on brony, more like a casual fan that does his own thing.
I never fully got into it but I’m glad it ran it’s course and lasted as long as it did, even when I didn’t join right up until it ended. I’m just hoping the community does not experience a much greater decline than the one in 2016. I don’t like to join Quiet and abandoned fandoms that have become small and incredibly niche.
I Have heard from this year that the fandom is actually declining very fast and that after either bronycon 2019, the last one, It might decline even more. and with the end of G4 and FiM, I’m anticipating a full on but gradual exodus leading to it ultimately vanishing. wouldn’t want to stick around if that’s the case. I mean it’s getting awfully quiet on places like deviantart, derpibooru and fimfiction.
Even I debate to myself over wether i should leave and move on to other things and stay and witness the decline and eventual niche status of this community. Or whatever remains. sometimes I think that blew my chances at joining and that it’s best that I leave as quickly as a joined.
