>>509 >I suppose there has been times when thy may hav done too much fanservice, or didn't do cool stuff because it wouldn't go with fans headcanons, but the fact that they even interacted, heck even reacted to us at all amazes me still. Not just that our fanworks and hype have birthed characters and plotlines, but even the first references to 4chan memes and nerdom that appeared all the way back in season 2. We shouldn't have gotten such from the heartless corporate money machine on a small lesser network. Yet they did. Most companies don't do that but as you said, they saw those little silly things into something profitable while making something worth with them and the writers having a blast with it. Larson especially, he shitted on everything while he has been laughing at the fandom and himself. Greedy? Like everything is. Is it possible to have fun while playing the jewish card? Surprisingly yes,though 90% we all get blinded by money above everything.
>The fact that the crew behide the show started to acknowledge was big enough, not to mention that Hasbro didn't smite them from such activies or us in general right in the early days. Now I suppose Hasbro saw an opportunity with having a teen/20 something alternative sub culture/fanbase, but Hasbro in all sanity should have treated us worse then they did. From clop to overly violate fan animations freely available online they should have stayed miles away from us.
It's counterproductive to pretend they don't exist in the end, shooting yourself in the foot. You have a porn autistic fame yet, you don't deny it because they are tool to make money. Have they wanted to get rid of that fame? Yes. but they got used to it and have caught a dynamic that certainly works. Those autists that looked like an awful thing are the same ones who would pay for a movie and receive 52/53 millions for granted, some of them paid several times. This is why I want the BluRay, the product that I like after so much free content out there and joyful entertainment
>Now I suppose some would scream hasdrone at me for saying this. I'm not saying that Hasbro has been perfect or even very good in their treatme of us and I recognize that there primary goal is still to make money. But, man have we been lucky. Certainly worth the study.
Shill is certainly meaningless at this point. All the people who talk about MLP are shills in reality, even if someone is trolling/hating and isn't a fan , it's an indirect source of money and publicity. Shill would mean now by loving it blindly and when you have a critic eye that this isn't perfect (Flawless from Fame and Misfortune basically show it) means that you are not one.
