..........
Hey guys...... sorry, for the lack of update, uh, it's just, I do have a life outside a fanfiction site deicated for ponies, but, i been, thinking....... alot.
But my most concerning is that, from reading these comments from a Nostaglia Critic Review on one of the new disney films.

I believe the same thing but at the same time if you go too far in any fandom you will find crap, but most of the bronies since this fandom started off more as a meme than a fandom got a lot of well jut ranting and raving jerks in it, and most of those guys have just left for what ever reasons? Me I always just liked drawing peoples OCs and had fun but it got stressful with a lot of jerks and drama so I am kinda done with the fandom and hope people have fun as I draw cartoon horses on my test.

So, that begs the question.... IS the fandom, dying like a tired fad?
Could it be that the, overly ambitious mistakes of Hasbro
be what is the poison to the fandom?
Is our loyalty..... Fading, cause we seem to forgot this show caters to girls first and that older boys were not an intended audience and there for, allow themselfs to forget that, alchorse stuff like that was gonna happen in the long one and we happened to be lucky in the fanfictions, or because of feeling disrepected on how Hasbro crosses lines?
it's, some depressing shit man.
I'm, not even gonna bother with the critic-rip-off motive, it..... this issue about the fandom is concerning.... I know i won't leave the fandom, but...... what would be the straw that'll break the camel's back...............
Fendom is still dying after 2 years of people shouting about it? Damn when will it finally die.
But seriously, like said people say it for years now , since season 1 ended. Maybe its the loud mouth trolls and obnoxious ones who loose interest since people got somewhat used to bronies so their not a special hipster slowflake anymore who are dying out.
If you cant see that the ones here in this comments who talk about it dying are obviously trolls then dunno.

Even If that were to happen...there would still be a large fandom. Those guys in the comments are just taking the 'shocking' fact that the critic made a joke about FIM and bronies said nothing about it. Like they were expecting a horde of comments jumping up and down onto a five second clip that equates to "they'll except you." A non-insulting and non pointless gag. Whereas they were expecting us to rise up like they did with CR's comment. When bridge to Terribitha had a lot more things wrong wiht it that I could pick on, CR's joke on Son of the Mask was rather pointless in the grand scheme of things and just served to annoy people.
A fandom will never truely die, just get smaller. I mean, after all...Danny Phantom hasn't had a new eppie since 2006 and there is still a ton of fan art, Kim Possible hasn't been on freaking air for just as long and there is still plenty of kickin fan art and great fanfics. Heck, there are more out there. It's just that there are some idoits who like to take 'surprising' things like not jumping down the throat of a 'ok' review where NC basically calls a young girl with a healthy imagination and a sense of fun an ax murding psychopath where the one more likely to kill everything is the boy and treats it like just because you get into playing out a fantasy you are crazy and should never interact but the focus should be on a five second non insulting gag.
The real question that the commentors should be asking...is the love for NC dying?
1414255 that comment mostly relieved my issueing concerns. I should've realised it was just some goons screwing around.
