>What does /endpone/ think of the drama of the VAs trying to purge the lewd outtakes and Hasbro possibly trying to infiltrate discord to find da hacker?
I read an Equestria Daily article about the material of those outtakes and the staff made it clear that there was some NSFW material among them. In comparison to the leaks that have happened in the past with the movie, a few episodes of season 8, the final leaks in August and previous ones that happened a few years ago (I read somewhere for example that Castle-Mania was leaked but I didn´t experience that so take it as a dubious statement); that actually have an effect on the investments and possibly income that they could get from this franchise, they failed or didn´t make enough attempts to stop that, they are doing this...

As far as I am concerned, Hasbro might have noticed that the leaks for their official material doesn´t hurt the source of income so this move might be because of professional imagery that affect the VAs in their careers, as if this was some sort of personal info or data that don´t want to show up in order to hide those horseplays whenever they get to work with another company. However, we all have dealt with NSFW content for all these years, these outtakes feel like a small snack in comparison to what lots of fans are used to seeing. I understand their position either way.

The problem is that Hasbro is inexperienced at solving these problems and that leads to awkwardly comical situations that the fans will get a laugh or two from them. This gets a little bit like the Streisand effect but more aimed towards the incompetency rather than the content that has been removed.

Another little episode of misadventures that could have ended up in drama but instead, the fans who noticed their move have got an amusing event from it.
