>One of the things that does keep us from not being considered full furry cringe and rejection territory by both the chans and "normies" is the crazy amount of good/great mlp fanworks.
Because there was nothing to compare or get inspired by the brand material. MLP has been created and got popular because of both sides, without the two sides,it wouldn´t have developed and got this far. MLP has got and become so relevant over the years because nobody knew how to define it, yet bothe their creators and fans have given some random ideas to literally nothing. This is why fanwork stuff can be as entertaining as the official material, it has influenced both during the road, a very long road.

>I am still amazed that I can say with confidence that a good quarter to a third of out fanworks are at least decent, with depending on the category, 5 to 15% even being elegant and dare I say sometimes intellective
Just reconfirming this by saying that I have seen really good fanworks with just 30 upvotes around Derpi.
>Truly a violation of Sturgeon's law.
BTFO how will he ever recover? Even when ponies are considered cancer, the thing is that the pony material that could be the peak of it can appear from absolutely nowhere. How can I say fanworks are crappier if 95% of MLP before the 2010s was much more crappier than a fic about Luna or Lyra to put some examples?

>Such as JanAnimations and Fighting is Magic. Heck I remember once a MLP visual novel that was going to be on sale that was strongly based on the universe and they only requested them to change some of the names. Not saying ther conduct has been perfect, but honestly they could've nuked a lot of things if they wanted too.
I think it´s counter productive to them. It´s like shooting themselves in the foot. Sure one can take some financial advantage but keep the brand relevant or somewhat in the spotlight, giving more air and advertisement to their toys or show. They certainly win between the "losses". Other companies, especially the gaming industry haven´t completely got that mentality after years of efforts for battling it. Hasbro cannot be that stupid to people that gives a direct or indirect source of money and even given and supported the movie with 60 million. Some fans had paid twice and even 4 times their tickets for it and I am buying the Blu Ray once it comes in my country.

>Such as taking down any animations that would just usual internet tier crap and nuking any fangames that went beyound being fileings past around the chans.
Baically the fandom would have disappeared or gone faster but I don´t know if rebelling would cause a counter interest against their policies. Anyway, that was in the 2000s, Internet has gone through very different phases in 20 years but damn, what a way to ruin the fun to HP fans.
