Don’t get me started on how badly written Starlight’s “Redemption” was. It’s even worse in retrospect, now that we know she went nowhere as a character. Sure, she got things handed to her. The show’s finale is probably going to waste a lot of time on her. But nothing interesting was done with her as a character. Most fans don’t like her and barely anyone buys her toys, so they phased her out in favour of the Student Six.
The show’s finale is probably going to waste a lot of time on her.
 
That they did, and it didn’t feel deserving at all. Looking back on the series, everything you said rings true.

“I’m sick of seeing this conversation going the same way over and over again.”
 
Then stop replying to it.
 
“I don’t like this fictional character!”
 
“You’re a dick for saying that! Censors your art and posts”
 
Do you honestly see that behaviour taking this conversation anywhere constructive? No wonder so many people who don’t like where the show and franchise went just ended up walking away from the fandom altogether.”
 
Except you initially started off this conversation in a very dickish manner and thus why your post was censored.
 
“Sonic the Hedgehog fans aren’t like this. Naruto fans aren’t like this. Genwunners aren’t like this.
 
And there was a time when the brony fandom wasn’t like this.
 
There was a time when talking about cartoon horses on the internet was fucking fun.”
 
Oh, God. Not another one of these “fandom is dying” or “fandom isn’t what it used to be” shrills. Bro, we’ve had similar instances like this long before Starlight entered the picture. Lauren Faust leaving, Twilicorn, Equestria Girls, etc.

Why are you even still trying to promote this? Who else this comment section is even interested in this?

So is this conversation EVER going to go somewhere productive?
 
I don’t like this fictional horse. Some people do. They’re fine. Some of her fans get way too mad when anyone says anything bad about her, and I wish they didn’t bully people like this. Why are they like this? Is it because they need to get laid, or is it because they’re just really fucking sick of hearing the same complaints over and over again? Who cares! I’m not being paid to investigate that or write a book on it, and that’s good because I’m sick of it. I’m sick of seeing this conversation going the same way over and over again.
 
What happened to respecting different opinions? What happened to accepting others for their differences? What happened to having fun discussing media? I’ve seen people arguing over whether their childhood idols could kill someone else’s childhood idol in a fight to the death, and they are always more mature than this.
 
For fuck’s sake, just stop and think about this.

Because of the switch to a different network. Also, correlation does not equal causation. Don’t forget that most of the viewers our kids, and don’t forget about Nielsen ratings. Do you know how Nielsen ratings work?

Oh right, good point. I will now stop calling people dumb beta cucks.
 
I didn’t call all Starlight fans dumb beta cucks, just the “How dare you not love my favourite pony! That rustles my jimmies, you duck!” folk, but if I want a mature conversation to happen I should put the cheap insults away.

[What’s the point in trying to “Reinterpret” what I said when my post now says [COMMENT DELETED FOR OFFENDING GLIMMER FANS]?
I’ll word what I said in a nicer manner, as if that’ll make a difference to people who think dissent is bad behaviour but childish insults aren’t.
 
If you want to not have your comments deleted, stop calling people “dumb beta cucks”. Your comment wasn’t deleted because of “dissent”, it was deleted because of your childish insults.
 
Does the Starlight Glimmer Defense Brigade really think abusing these people will make them dislike this fictional horse less?
 
No, they just can’t believe that your jimmies are so rustled that you think people need RELIGION and call them “dumb beta cucks” because they disagree with you about Starlight.
 
Maybe take a look at your own “point #4” again.
SilverStarApple7
Duck - Duck Genocide Is Real!

Hold on, is someone trying to “Creatively reinterpret” a post of mine that was already censored?
 
What’s the point in clarifying it once more if it’s only going to be censored again?
 
What’s the point in trying to “Reinterpret” what I said when my post now says [COMMENT DELETED FOR OFFENDING GLIMMER FANS]?
 
I’ll word what I said in a nicer manner, as if that’ll make a difference to people who think dissent is bad behaviour but childish insults aren’t.
 
  1. Starlight Glimmer is a “Controversial” character because she’s a great idea with a ton of potential executed very poorly.  
  2. This “No criticism of starlight glimmer is allowed! None! Criticism of Glimmer is Verboten, or as we say now, Drama! That means we can bully you and blame you for making us want to bully you! OP is a BadLabel, OP is FairGame, OP is a loser and it’s ok to abuse him!” policy is a stupid one because it stops fans of FIM from talking things out and settling their differences peacefully.  
  3. Good fans don’t abuse other fans, regardless of their opinions on the media they’re a fan of.  
  4. Bad fans abuse others because they want to bully others while looking like “The biggest and best” fans. That’s what I said when I brought the concept up, don’t project.  
  5. Bad fans need Jesus. If SJWs found Jesus, they’d stop being SJWs.
     
    And for a bonus statement…
     
    Do you know how the Sonic fandom sustained itself for years, even as Sega released shit Sonic game after shit Sonic game? Sonic fans allowed other sonic fans to say “This game sucks”, because that eventually evolved into “Here’s how I’d do this game better”, which eventually evolved into “Here’s a fan project I made to prove my ideas are good”.
     
    That’s why the Sonic fandom has Sonic Utopia, Sonic World, and multiple different Actually-Good 3D sonic engines anyone can use for fangame development. The sonic fandom allows dissent and creativity.
     
    That’s right. I’m officially saying the modern Brony fandom would be a better fandom if it took moral lessons from the Sonic fandom. I miss 2012 too.
     
    Edit: Note that there are over 300 images tagged “Starlight Drama” on this site. Over 300 pieces of art criticizing Glimmer. Are none of these people worth listening to? Does the Starlight Glimmer Defense Brigade really think abusing these people will make them dislike this fictional horse less?

Will your behavior of playing victim make people like you? Signs point to a resounding “Even less.”

@SilverStarApple7  
Obviously, I was not talking about every single fictional Glimmer fan on the planet. Only the abusive ones.
So, you’re complaining about a group of abusive fans who don’t exist? Sounds pointless.

@SilverStarApple7  
Sorry that you don’t see Starlight from our perspective, but if you’re going to argue about her:
 
  1. At least be more subjective  
  2. Do not generalize Starlight fans as an entity because I clearly saw you do it  
  3. Do NOT bring religion into matters like this because it made your argument look more nonsensical  
  4. Don’t spam any of this “true fan” crap because you know that statement is subjective
     
    This also goes for 275A.
