This truly captures the essence of the fandom within it. Hasbro is the dragon, and we are the ponies. It is not through malice that the dragon protects its hoard, but by its nature. If we wanted to, we could go and create away from the hoard, and what we create would then be our own, but the hoard lures us so, and so we stay.
It's a tale we would all do well to heed.
