(grumbles) it reminds me of Nintendo and fan projects. examples being
 
Super Mario 64 HD  
Legend of Zelda 3D  
AMR2
 
and while not Nintendos entire fault, I’ll also include
 
Pokemon Uranium Edition

@BlazeHeartUnicorn  
Well some people thought it was a C&D when other people thought it isn’t.
 
Sometimes copyright laws are why companies are hated and a vocal majority disguised in words as a “minority” is born.

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
Wait, Journey of the Spark was C&D? I thought they cancelled it cause of how massive the project was and decided to have it turned into a radio drama type project.

@DrCoolcabbage  
Good point.
 
Even though copyright laws can lead Hasbro to do Cease & Desist and people are starting to get so butthurt over the C&D and fans are gonna violently hate Hasbro for the C&D when it becomes too similar to the show for either profit and what not. (Like Button’s Adventures, Fighting Is Magic, Journey of the Spark, etc.)

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
Thank you. And yeah, nothing that gets enough of a fanbase doesn’t have its share of whiners. It’s just human nature, I suppose.
 
And exactly. Instead of griping about how much you don’t like what the show is doing, make your own version of it! It can work really well, especially if there’s some massive change to the show that you weren’t planning on. Look at the original Fallout Equestria. The show has basically proven it completely false (if that makes sense. I’m not sure what word to use for that. Non-canon maybe?) and yet, it ignored mayor changes like Cadance and the changelings and keeps going with its original worldview, and it works. That’s the real fun of fanfiction - you can take the world you’re writing in whatever direction you please.

@DrCoolcabbage  
Good point.
 
I guess there will never be a show that has changes that nobody whined.
 
If they are not pleased with the changes, how about this:
 
MAKE THEIR OWN AU OR THEIR OWN MLP-INSPIRED FRANCHISE! Not a hard concept, people.
 
It’s a lot better than being salty towards the changes in a show you like and preventing it from being successful just to make journalists delusional for saying “it’s a success even though there is whining about changes”.

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
Because a show’s success isn’t based on the opinions of a vocal minority’s, despite what that minority would like you to believe. The producers don’t care what a few people are whining about as long as the majority are still watching and buying merchandise. The show has gone from what was probably meant to be a quick cash grab to a marketing empire. A few people getting their panties in a bunch because of a new character or what not isn’t a big deal to them. See Cadance and Shining Armor, Discord’s reformation, Twilicorn, Crystal Empire, the CMC getting the “wrong” cutie marks…
 
In short, the people who complain about stuff like the are impossible to please, and more to the point, don’t WANT to be pleased.

@DrCoolcabbage  
So was shows like Steven Universe, even though it has drama, but I don’t see it as big as MLP with the exception of the Zamii incident. And Rick and Morty, Daredevil and Star vs. the Forces of Evil.
 
Sometimes i don’t understand how any franchise keeps being successful when there is people making drama and whining about changes in the franchise. Maybe we can’t please people.

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
It’s been going strong for six years, despite every piece of drama the fandom can through at it, despite every “r00ned 4ever!!!2!” People whine about, every change, every terrible idea.
 
It’s not too early to call t successful. It already is.

@DrCoolcabbage  
That is why i doubt about the success of MLP.
 
There was no drama in Gravity Falls when it there are changes in any episode chronologically.
 
And yet when MLP has changes there is drama. And Equestria Daily are gonna be labeled as delusional for his Top 6 Reasons why MLP is incredibly successful.

@TexasUberAlles  
I’ve honestly been staying very far away from anything flurry heart related, so I haven’t really seen any of the flurry hate.
 
personally I think she’s a pretty cool disguised changeling but kind of eh lame baby pandering otherwise.

@redweasel  
It would be a lot easier to take Flurry Hate more seriously if so much of it wasn’t delivered in the form of RUINED FOREVER!!1! rhetoric.

@DrCoolcabbage  
Like how people complained that they could write more than 500 characters, and add links in YouTube comments.
 
I totally understand the issue with the Google+ integration, but people actually complained about the above. What the hell, people.

@redweasel  
Now you’re getting it!

@DrCoolcabbage  
right, nobody is bothered at all by the fact that she’s a newborn alicorn princess. it’s all about hating change like whiny babbies and not liking what you like

@PoolofCarp  
The New Born Cuties “plushes” has hard plastic heads.

That’s a plush? I saw that, and I thought it was hard plastic.

I’m still waiting for this plush to be sold in America >.<

@DrCoolcabbage  
I suspected it wasn’t.

@PonyPon  
Because Flurry Heart exists and as such:  

 
No one ever said it was a good reason to be upset XD

Oh no, such crime!  
They’re wearing leggings under their skirts! D=

@TexasUberAlles  
@Joshua  
Did I miss something?
 
Is there some particular reason to be mad about this?

@Joshua  
Agreed

@zippysqrl  
I’ll fight you, you know I will.

@Joshua  
Well, we can’t deny it: we’re a full-fledged fandom and we enjoy our… Those, uh, “1st World controversies” XD
