I am genuinly fearing the season 5 episode disscussions at this site. Like legit fearing. I jus know no matter what the show runners do some are adimant to be negative no matter what.
On top of that I'm tired of feeling like I need to apologize for still genuinly enjoying the show and thinking it's gotten better as it's gone on. That's a legitimately horrible feeling.
Honestly the MLP community as a whole seems to be at this point, in various ways, just as self destructive & toxic as everything else in nerd culture. I mean this is a show about magical talking horses teachings kids about friendship... It shouldn't cause anyone stress.
And you know... TRS isn't any exception. This may be a nice clean porclean tower. But it's just as bad as anywhere else... Maybe in a different way then most. But yeah, that air of elitism & hive mind mentalities, octrization who doesn't see eye to eye with the big wigs... It's here too & I just don't know how to deal with it anymore.... I put up with that for six years in the anime fandom... Being told I was an uptight idiot for being turned off by content of some of the more risqué titles out there. But now I'm a Buffon for not being critical enough... You just can't win... I'm done man. I'm done with forums and this whole toxic self destructive nerd culture... It's just too disgusting for me to stomach anymore for anything.

Here's hoping they actually stick to the whole reformed thing.
Fizzbuzz wrote:What do you mean, "attempting to add another character to the group"? Are you talking about Spike's appearances with the Mane Six, such as his tiny throne next to Twilight's? Spike has been there since the very beginning of the show, and honestly, I think he deserves more attention. If you're referring to someone else then I'm not sure who you mean.
