Because this is also the fandom with an stupid tendency to explode aggressively at the dumbest things.
But I guess that can be said of all fandoms…
it can. honestly it kinda reminds me of videogame fandoms and patch notes/balance changes
“We’ve changed X value by 5%”
“OMG Y BUILD IS NOW COMPLETELY RUINED FOREVER!!1!”
@Kovich Oatskovh
My question is, WHY is anybody having a fit about Lyrabon in the first place? It’s like they forgot what fandom they were in, where ponies can be shipped based on absolutely nothing!
@Ponysubmarine
You don’t see me having a fit over this ship. I’m a Russian brony and I am gay, though from what I know it’s rare to find others like me but still.

Two words, “plausible deniability”. If they pretend it’s meant as no more than friendship, they can treat anyone who wants to accuse them of something that shouldn’t be wrong but apparently is like they’re the ones who decided that Lyra and Bon Bon are lesbians.
