There, I edited and made it nicer

I don't assume the worst of them as a whole. Since I stopped looking at the
nchans I feel a lot better about it and am happy to call myself one. Heck I go to the cons and have found them to be exclusively nice (well there was one guy who ranted at a writer, but let's not get into that. I like to think he was trying to be rebellious.)
I just said "Bronies" because I didn't want to single out particular subsets and thought it more polite to just acknowledge that some of us (on the internet)
suck can be a little bit over-dramatic. But I don't mean that the majority do. The majority, at least the ones I hang around with, are lovely people who have made my life a lot more pleasant!
But you know there are certain parts of the fandom who just rage at everything and make a huge drama and send the show staff hate mail and death threats etc, first for Derpy existing, then for Derpy not existing, then for the wedding (until it turned out to be awesome, which is a bit of a pattern), Twilicorn, EQG, Breezies, Rainbow Power... I've probably missed a few out... they all had their massive "sky is falling" dramas. I'm just saying it'll probably happen again. There are a possibly small but very vocal part of the fandom that
really don't like the fact that the primary purpose of the show is for Hasbro to sell toys and that sometimes they make a toy range and tell them "go and incorporate it into the show somehow please". I am personally impressed that DHX get away with keeping it as story-driven (instead of toy-driven) as they do, but there are a lot of extremists who go on a massive frothing rage whenever there's any hint at anything being remotely "toyetic" and I just felt like having a mini rant/mockery of those

Sorry, I didn't mean it to come out sounding so anti-Brony.

I'm one too

I will henceforth put the brakes on this reversion to "sanctimonious douchebag" - I used to be one of those a few years ago too, it wasn't very nice.
