I'll just leave this here

This is an interesting thing. Most internet fandoms, and I'm generalising here, sometimes feel entitled enough to complain about things to get a desired result. Think of the Mass Effect fiasco about the ending. The outrage eventually forced EA and Bioware's hand to attempt a fix. Sometimes this is for good, sometimes it's seen as the loud obsessives complaining.

The interesting point about Bronies, however is that we've been spoiled but we shouldn't have the right to control this show. We have what we've built from this world of ponies: this site, our fictions, the music and the connections between the people you've met through this interest in that show.

As for the show itself; can we not leave that as is? We have everything else to enjoy without demanding that something that's not inherently ours bends to our concerns.

I don't make observational soap-box speeches here all that often, if at all so I hope that you can gather I feel strongly on this point that we need a certain amount of restraint and respect and maturity that no-other fandom on the web is expected or required to show in-order to repel the typical image of creepy maniacs. This isn't a competition or a full time job. It's people with one common interest coming together to talk and celebrate.

Thank you for reading.
