I will never comprehend what kind of thought process makes people look at something they don’t intend to involve themselves with and have no interest in, and take immediate offense at its existence to the point that they feel the need to actively lash out against it.
Fortunately it takes more than people with an abundance of time and no useful outlet for it to ruin my fun. I think this movie will be quite enjoyable, and I’m eager to see all that hard work onscreen.

Because there wasn’t Internet back in the 60s ,brah.Roddenberry himself got scared of trekkies zealousness at one point.If Star Trek became popular during our decades,you would have seen the same event happen(I mentioned JJ Abrams because it was the most recent iteration of a franchise notorious for its fanbase)
“It frightens me when I learn of 10,000 people treating a Star Trek script as if it were Scripture. I certainly didn’t write Scripture, and my feeling is that those who did were not treated very well in the end … I’m just afraid that if it goes too far and it appears that I have created a philosophy to answer all human ills that someone will stand up and cry, ‘Fraud!’ And with good reason.”

@Hollowfox the Stallion
No I mean, it’s not just because they’re judging people who like the show, it’s because the fandom has a reputation for being cancerous.
@Jarkes @thevideonasty
I see where you guys come from. They just see as “grown men watching a show for little girls”, and that needs to be wiped out and see that a show for little girls can be watchable with good writing (which it’s debatable since the changes were controversial by the fandom) and characters. Nobody is too old to watch a kids’ show.
I mean, nobody acted like asswipes over grown men watching Kim Possible, Sesame Street and Powerpuff Girls for the same reason they hate the fandom and MLP.
@TheFanficFanPony
Yeah, that explains why it gets away with being a movie based on toys and got positive reviews, unlike most Hasbro movies (except for Ouija: Origin of Evil) and the Max Steel movie.
Rest in Peace

You can insult me all you want.
But NEVER insult my memes.
[insert that internet meme about the smiley face with sunglasses and irony/crippling depression here]
Nah, not tired yet ;)
Switch hand,you’re going to tire your wrist self-flagellating like this
your current filter.Fortunately it takes more than people with an abundance of time and no useful outlet for it to ruin my fun. I think this movie will be quite enjoyable, and I’m eager to see all that hard work onscreen.
I think we still have a pretty good ways to drop before we reach that level, especially nowadays.
Because I live for the drama.
@cloudkicker108
It’s getting there.
At least the MLP community itself isn’t anywhere near as bad as the Sonic fandom.
If you think the fandom is cancerous why are you here?
Not all of them but most of them. The part of the fandom that I find cancerous is the ones who complain about the changes
You kind of answered your own question there concerning “why doesn’t the Star Trek fandom get as much backlash?”
Because the internet didn’t exist for them to do the crap some bronies do.

Fans of JJ Abrams Star Trek didn’t oversaturate their fandom by shoving it in everywhere.
The Star Trek fandom’s infamy has died down a lot, but the MLP fandom is near Sonic levels of infamy.
You dont see people downvoting en masse JJ Abrams Star Trek tho
No I mean, it’s not just because they’re judging people who like the show, it’s because the fandom has a reputation for being cancerous.
Most fandoms are though imo

Which honestly isn’t COMPLETELY undeserved, it’s only MOSTLY undeserved.
Honestly, it’s probably the fandom that caused people to downvote like crazy.
I’m not saying everyone in this fandom is bad, but bronies are pretty . . . uh . . . notorious.
I see.
