There are those and there are so many more who make our fandom not only look bad, but who actually make it bad. Where can you have a peaceless, positive conversation about the show these days without someone butting in, berating you and trying to explain you "how bad this episode is" and then blaming you and ridiculing you for not hating, but loving it? It happens every single time.
A long time ago, the wrong people started to come into our fandom and slowly began corrupting it and we let them do it. We spotted those people a long time ago and could have stopped them, but we didn't. We should have *kindly* told them to stop that hateful, cynical approach to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and, if they refused, kicked them out of the fandom, banned them from every fandom site like the villains they are.
It's one of these "If only we could get back in time, then we would fix everything" things, but there is no time machine and no time magic in this world.
We could have stopped these people and prevented the fandom from becoming like it is today, but we just sat there and let them do it, because we believed we have to tolerate and love their horrible behavior too, in order to stay true to our philosophy.
Those people ruined the fandom, but we ruined it, too. We sit all in the same boat, the black knights and the white knights together. All of us are responsible for what the brony fandom has become up until today. We all failed.
