Description

Not even Dexit and the Nintendo Switch Online controversies has come close to this!
I mean, every brony website known to man (and social media) was a freaking bloodbath for weeks and a lot of bronies left the fandom after this incident!
And this incident and the civil war it caused will be 10 years old next year, I hope nothing like this ever happens in G5!

I’m still shocked that Sunnycorn never got the same hate for achieving alicorn status in her first appearance.

The point is that nobody - and I do mean nobody - outside of Bronies gave a shit, or even knew about Twilicorn drama.
Access media wasn’t blackballed into doing damage control and the voice actors weren’t being harrassed over it.
In terms of scale and public consciousness, the Twilicorn drama is fucking nothing. It’s not even remotely comparable.

I don’t care that Twilight became an alicorn early in the show (at least she did something to become an alicorn unlike Flurry Heart). I’m just upset about that stupid Grogar is Discord plot twist that ruined season 9 and the show forever. That was much worse.

Controversy leads to ruin. I have said it before and I say it again.
If not for the drama regarding these changes, if people did accept change regardless of being good or bad, the show wouldn’t have quality decline, the franchise wouldn’t become niche and lesser-known, and fans wouldn’t leave the fandom or lose interest.
But we cannot always get what we want.

“B-But something something Starlight Glimmer something!”
Yeah I’m going to call bullshit on that, because although the OP is being hyperbolic with regards to comparisons to other fandoms, they are right about the size of the one-two punch of Twilicorn and Equestria Girls.

Uhhh… as someone who was here for all of it, people may not have been happy, but they weren’t freaking out nearly as much as you seem to think. Heck there was a lot more vicious fandom infighting over Starlight around the beginning of Season 6 than there ever was over Twilicorn.
With the latter, most of the fandom was simply divided into the two camps of people saying “this is going to be terrible, the glory days are over!!!” and those saying “let’s wait and see where it goes”.
