The SU fandom scares me sometimes, especially after this shit. I mean when even the crew of the show is calling you on your shit and then getting attacked for it from those same fans, you know something has gone horribly wrong in a fandom.
@meem
fans have sent crazy reactions to creators over the years.
IIRC one of the writers for the show ‘beast machines’ cancelled a convention appearance over death threats (that was during the height of the fan hate though)
same thing happened to the writers who killed off/replaced gwen stacy and hal jordan (to various extents).
It’s just today people can send the crazy faster and more personal than ever before.
@meem
I’ve had PC gamers tell me to stop PC gaming because I have an Alienware gaming PC, it was my first gaming PC from my transition from console to PC
@Factory Yoshi
Do any of them tell an artist to off themselves just because the art isn’t what they want to be?
Sure there are bad people among good people, but Steven Universe @tumblr seems to have attracted the garbage. Hell, 4chan’s /sug/ board is more reasonable.
The guy probably doesn’t have much knowledge of what the “pony fandom” is like, I guess. He didn’t say “bronies”, mind, and the “pony fandom” does have its share of crazy and vicious assholes on tumblr (see ponydreamdiary / dragondicks or ponett, for example).
And yeah, the people that attacked her over that Fluttershy image most likely aren’t MLP fans (and certainly wouldn’t consider themselves “bronies”); she was already in the target sites of the SJW side of the SU tumblr fandom before then, so for them it was just another thing to attack her over.
All fandoms have their flankholes, whether it be MLP, Sonic, PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, whatever you can find, there are the complete and utter awful fans for those fandoms…

I personally haven’t come across such comments in the mlp fandom. but the only instance ive heard where a brony was receiving such was the guy behind the molestia tumblr. which was more of tumblr vs a brony instead bronies vs a brony. which ive noticed is where most of this crap keeps stemming from ever since tumblr got this big. well more so than any other site. but again that’s just me personally
Hmm? what does this have to do with MLP? I get some of the fans can be a**holes (true of every fandom) but I’ve never heard (or perhaps don’t remember) any instances of us harassing somebody to suicide. Or maybe I’m just not involved enough to really see what’s going on. in the vid he just goes on about Steven Universe and this particular instance, sad as it is.
I’ve not watched the video yet but going to assume this is about the girl who’s art of Rose Quartz was on the thine side
So some people harassed her to the point of a suicid
Thankfully she still alive and getting help but some people including the creators of SU aren’t to happy with these so called fans
