Gotta’ say this.
Here’s the entire fandom rallying against bullies after what happened to Michael. “Love and tolerate”.
Yet just a short time before a girl starts a campaign against what was a crap blog and all of that was out the window with everything up to doxing and death threats. Not to mention how people get pounced on for making OC’s that don’t conform to other’s standards (especially the Terrible Ponies and Terrible Terrible Ponies blogs on Tumblr).
This fandom needs to stop being hypocrites. I know it’s not everyone but it’s a good amount.
Let me tell you something,it’s not 2011 anymore. I’m sure there are plenty of people who wish to go back to the days when the fandom wasn’t so intricate and just a bunch of people who enjoyed a cartoon show.
Love and Tolerance was just supposed to be a counter troll measure for fans so that others wouldn’t get under their skin and frustrate others. And to a point it did work for others. However it was never meant to be taken and should have not been taken as the modus operandi as anyone who watches the show. The words and ideas like that are not expressed in the show with each other. That does not condone bad behavior but it’s almost foolish to expect people to take that to heart as soon as they watch the show.

In my honest opinion this whole charade has boils down to, I don’t like this thing on the internet therefore I must remove it,instead of acknowledging that it’s just one of the things on the internet I cannot have control over and be on my way.I’ve never liked the concept of Princess Molestia,I’ve thought it was dumb the first time I heard about it back in 2011,still do to this day and I was rather apathetic towards the blog JJ did.
However when this whole thing started I already could tell that this whole thing was doomed. Because PinkiePony took the same passive aggressive stance in which social justice crusades and on tumblr are infamous for.
To this day I do not believe for a second that she was babysitting a younger child and showed her Celestia in her pony and she said that “she rapes ponies”. It sounds way too convenient much like her other stories that she has told in the past 6 months in order to drum up support from her followers and people who are part of DWM.
People are always so quick to point out the fact that /mlp/ got PinkiePony’s information when they did nothing with it. No packages were sent,no letters, no pizzas nothing. And in that same vein no emails or messages of intent were sent to her directly. I don’t think anyone should receive death threats or intent to harm over ponies. Because that’s honestly a frivolous thing to come to blows over and anyone who did commit such an act would be the biggest fool of all. I have seen many people who have not condoned /mlp/‘s actions who were also against DWM.
Pinkie is poor leader,she may have told people stop harassing Mayde but at the same time hasn’t taken time to admonish those who have harassed others including rape victims who have expressed ill-content with DWM’s stance and conduct. Instead she continued to regurgitate the same cliches about bronies and antagonize them whilst spinning stories in her favor on how she had her paypal robbed and had her computer hacked.
I cannot empathize with someone who wishes to use an 11 year-old fighting for his life situation and bring attention to themselves. Asking where was “their own support when they attempted suicide” when they should be grateful that they have use of their senses,breath and still be alive. They could have at least shown support for Michael but they let their own bitterness take priority.
I apologize for the rant but these recent happenings have really lit a fire in me.
