I'm pretty much done with MLP

Reposting from tumblr for ridiculousness

I love MLP, It's such a fantastic cartoon. I don't think anyone will argue here that it's one of the most entertaining animated shows in syndication right now. I love it's unique and endearing characters, I love how the fans latch onto them and make them really into something of our own. Even with insignificant background ponies. There is endless fan content: art, music, fics, headcanons, games, everything can be dipped in ponies and made 20% cooler.

With how much I love the show it really pains me to discontinue with this fandom. This "Derpy Hooves" bull has gotten so far out of control. At this point, it just isn't fun anymore. Being part of this "community" is more like picking sides in a shit slinging competition. No one is winning by being mean or threatening to not only the creators of the thing you love but to completely unrelated persons who've simply voiced an opinion. I don't know where the message of "love and tolerance" became skewed to the point where you think it is okay to threaten bombings on Hasbro or violence on random unrelated people on the internet.

During this little internet fiasco, I've kept my personal opinions out of it. To save myself from grief and backlash from either side. I have a lot of Brony friends, people I know in real life and through the web. So for the sake of neutrality I still refuse to enter this silly conflict. You know what Bronies? Some people are offended, get over yourselves. It isn't a declaration of war, it's an opinion. You know what offended people? The Bronies don't understand your argument, or they wouldn't be arguing so vehemently. You are just as much in the wrong the second you stoop to the level of internet spittle flicking.

There are fantastic artists and great people I follow and admire on either side of this argument. It's honestly heart breaking to see some of them forgo the high road and add to the flaming while the ones who have constantly put up with unwarranted flames and hate become attacked and belittled more and more.

What I am most displeased with, the thing that I am most offended by, and the ideal I cannot fathom; is the thought process one possesses that declares your personal feelings so much more valid than another person's that you can justify cultivating and spreading a notion of hate in a community so enveloped by it's message of Love and Tolerance.

I'm sorry, but I'm out. I simply cannot deal with the fact that adults cannot listen and respond intelligently to one another. I especially cannot deal with such a large part of a fan community singling out other fans for simply voicing an opinion. So called "fans" who attack and spew these uninformed notions to a single person, who not only is not related to the company or production staff but who on multiple occasions has thoughtfully and painstakingly relayed their thoughts and opinions with legitimate sources and articles, are in my opinion incapable of forming or voicing the opinions they preach with such fervor.

This is disgusting. If you have left even a single hateful message on anyone's page or if you have knowingly spread faulty information in the hopes of propagating rash fury, you are beyond disgusting. This sort of behaviour is really just grotesque and I will not be a part of it.

Tl;Dr I'm taking a break from MLP because a large part of the brony population have gone from petulant to excessively indignant.
