I suppose it's been on my mind for a long time, but it never really occurred to me until recently. And because a few of you have been waiting for some projects I promised I'd finished, you deserve to know, as well.
This is a thing that exists. This was made with effort, and money.
And Hasbro actually put their name on this.

I'm gonna step away from this one.
You all probably know HudsonHawk, especially if you know me. Even though I've never met the man in person, he's my best friend on this site, on the internet, and probably ever.
Recently I discovered a site for content creators called Daisie. It allows people to post their work and ask for collaborators, and it was created by actress Maisie Williams, whom many of you might know as Arya Stark from Game of Thrones.
Please tell me he's just trying to be funny. Or is at least not well liked for doing what he does in earnest.
Attacking well-known Bronies for the mistakes and the bad decisions they make? Don't we get enough of that? Why is it so fun to watch Bronies tear each other apart?
It's just not right.

Some do it for attention while others just wanna do it to be trolls.... it can't be helped.
Death to pie!!!!!!
For the same reason people watch reality tv. It's the shock value of the drama that's created amongst us, the main reason why some groups of bronies still hold grudges against others, and unfriendly rivalries sprout up. It is those same reasons trolls often come here and down vote your work, and the work of countless others.
They want to see the reaction, the drama, the collateral damage if you will. And though many know this, some can't help but let themselves go and dive right on in. Being calm and peaceful in life doesn't mean to let yourself be walked over, but that doesn't mean we should go burning homes when someone says one little word.
It means we should do what we can to remain calm and handle the situation in a peaceful manner, so that those who try and attack us only see that we come together stronger than before.
Links or it never happened.
4095047 what ever.
Just seeing that. I don't know whether to laugh (maybe sarcastically) or give a deadpan look.
4095114 This is just one link. I'd post more, but I don't want YouTube thinking it should recommend this creep to me.
LINK
4095127 Seeing what?
4095131 That this guy goes outta his way. In his spare time. To make fun of well-known bronies. That's one of the crappiest pieces of shit I've ever heard.
4095125 See, Fractured gets it.
Just what did I just watch?!
It's just tmz at the end of the day
It's one of those cringey troll youtubers who really don't matter. I'd find it darkly funny and humorous, if only for the lackluster satire and wettest "dry wit" I will ever see.
Lightning, I'm only going to say this once. Chill, okay? People are going to be people. Some nice, some not so. It's not your job to be offended or hurt over every little thing that comes your way or someone else's. As for Fornogoodreason, I've seen some of his stuff, and people have their own opinions. Hey, my best friend makes fun of me being a brony on a daily basis, and that's fine with me. It's funny even to see how far backwards he's bending to say something snarky. It's what he does. Just like Fornogoodreason. It's what he does. So, if you don't like it, don't watch it.
What did he do!?
4095720 Am I not allowed to express my opinions while asking others for theirs? I saw some channel on YouTube, gave a preliminary analysis, and asked others for a second opinion. Nothing more. Even I'm not making this out into something it's not.
4095842 Evidently he posts videos of past mistakes and bad decisions made by other Brony YouTubers. His favorite target appears to be Lily Peet, for what reason I cannot determine without watching one of said videos.
Sadly though, I feel like if I see one more of them, I might consider leaving the fandom and the horrible way it treats its own. Why people like him aren't flagged for cyberbullying is beyond me.
4097005 everyone is allowed in the Pinyan, but it seems that lately all the opinions that I've been hearing from you are negative. And going on that, and how often you seem offended, I was expressing my own opinion that maybe you should grow some thicker skin.
4097019 One, thicker skin doesn't stop people from doing wrong. It just encourages them to wear you down until your skin isn't so thick anymore.
Two, just because I tend to be a negative person doesn't mean all my opinions are negative. You show me a guy on YouTube that doesn't waste his time attacking other Bronies, and I'll show you a stand-up fellow.
Like Dr. Wolf. I like Dr. Wolf.
4097025 I don't agree with what you said about thicker skin. I've had to live with a thick skin because of my religion and how people bullied me about my religion, and also how I looked, and acted. However, we need to look up positive things and be positive. Like the Dr. Wolf comment was positive. So good job
4097051 I'm sorry that happened to you. But having thicker skin didn't stop them, did it? Just saying, it's a band-aid solution. It doesn't fix the real problem.
4097127 And neither does griping about things you can't control. You see, life is unfair. There's going to be a lot of shit you can't do jack about. So why dwell on it? Giving all the negative things special attention only brings you down and those around you. Thicker skin doesn't mean you stop caring, but rather you don't let things get to you as much. It's a quality you need in life, or else you become someone who's offended by everything and everyone. Instead of going "Oh, that's bad and it makes me upset." Ignore it and find something else better. In the end, you'll be happier, and people will want to be around you because you dwell on happy things instead of unhappy things.
It's really as simple as that.
4097132 If you think it's that simple, then good for you. But you don't really seem to understand how painful it is to not have an ability everyone else can use easily. Want to stop something? Snap your fingers and do it instantly. Some people can do that. Others can't. And when you're one of the people who sees a problem that can be easily resolved, but you can't resolve it anyway, it tends to become obsessive. And the usual "get over it" argument is the worst thing you can say to people like that. It trivializes their feelings and makes them feel unimportant. You might as well ask a murder victim to walk it off, or a rape victim to stop whining. It has about the same effect.
So no, it's not that simple. And no, "growing thicker skin" does not solve the issue. In fact, that "thicker skin" is easier to cut than you know.
4097331 You know what? I was trying to help by offering you advice I live by. Most days I pop on here, I see you're always "hurt" or "Upset" or something else because of stuff or people here. I often came to your aid, or tried to cheer up up, but that's wearing on me. The negativity was bringing me down. Seeing how you clearly don't want help, or don't value the advice that I learned in middle school and have been living most my life to find it works tells me that you either don't want to change, or are unwilling to change. That playing the victim is more important than solving the problem. I'm here on this site for positive reasons, and I have my own daily crap to deal with, so forgive me by saying, I don't want to wake up and have to deal with yours.
And believe me, I've lived a difficult life of watching others do things I can't. I'd go into it, but you seem content to think you're the only wronged person in the world. So, good luck with everything, I'm unsubing from you, so I don't have to be brought down.
4097005
I do hope you don't leave.
4097473 I never asked for your help. I never asked you to take the time to do anything for me. So if you're sick of me, it's your own fault. Don't blame me for your own actions failing you.
You can say whatever you want, but the fact of the matter is, the problem that needs solving has nothing to do with me. I may be sensitive, but being tougher doesn't change anything. The world is a cruel place, and having thick skin doesn't make it any better.
If you want to unfollow, fine. People do that when they finally realize their own twisted "tough love" concept of nobility doesn't work. Many have left before you, and many will leave after you. Doesn't make you some kind of trendsetter. It makes you just as stubborn as me.
4098313 I got your reply at work, so, sadly, I could not respond until now. I've thought long and hard about this, about all the things I'd say and how'd I say it, but judging by our conversation thus far I can see that it wouldn't be...productive. Instead I'll just say this: If someone else said the same thing you replied to me with, you'd understand why many people are not fans of you.
That being said, have a wonderful life, and I truly wish you happiness and joy, or that you can find it. But please note, if you come at me again like that, I won't be as agreeable. There's a difference between expressing opinions and being rude, and I deal with rude enough at work. I will not take it from you.
4098956 I told you like it was. I wasn't rude. I was telling the truth. It's sad how you're telling me to grow thick skin, yet are getting defensive when I speak my mind.
Like I said, you chose this. I won't take blame for your choices. And don't get on my case just for pointing it out. You could have left sooner, quietly and without incident, but instead you chose to cherry-pick my posts and end it publicly, shaming us both.
Think about that.
4099949 Hmmm...I could be silent about everything, but there's just a few things that you said that make me want to give you the proverbial smack across the face. Let's examine them, shall we?
For the last few months you've been going on and off again about depressing stuff. That's not bad, we all do that from time to time, but what irks me is how whenever others offer advice, or give you suggestions of things you can do to pull yourself out of it, you play the victim card. I'll wait while you think of an argument to that. That's right, I said play the victim card for advice people give you for trying to get over the bad stuff in life.
Okay, people do that, however it seems that you are content to ignore the fact that just because someone has a different view than you, you don't have to push back with "you're wrong" or "You don't understand" or even, "It may work for you but not me." That's the reply of someone who doesn't want to change or try to change what their doing. And what are you doing in these depressing times?.....Nothing...Well, you're telling us all about it. How bad it is and when we offer you ways, or get annoyed with you and tell you to snap out of it, you bite back.
Sure, most people do that when they feel like others doing understand or don't get it, so that could be forgivable...if it wasn't something that seemed like it was happening so often. But, I digress and should give you the benifit of the doubt. I mean, that's what online friends do, right?
So what is it about this last time that make me want to give you that smack? Lets look at it. We all know what you posted, and frankly it felt like you were just chewing old cud to me. So, what did I say in reply?
Hmmmm...Okay..I said chill, hmmmm...Yeah, and OH, that it's not your job to be offended at everything....Yeah...Hmmm....People have their own opinions....yup....Oh, I'm in place where I'm being made fun of on a regular basis, but I laugh at him rather than get offended. Oh, here's the offensive part. If you don't like it, don't watch it.....Yeah, that's terrible. Lets see how you replied.
I don't recall saying you're not allowed an opinion. You seemed to be asking for a second opinion. I gave mine. Chill. Let me translate. Chill = don't worry about it. I told you not to get offended about it. That was my opinion, yet I'm being told now that saying all that is like me telling you that you can't express your opinion. Even more, you're saying that you're not making anything of it. Lets see. The orignial post said:
Sure seems like your making something of it to me. Then again, I may be jumping the gun since it seems like the most memorable things I hear from you are negitive about people attacking you, or how your opinions or unpopular or life's unfair, yaddy yaddy yadda. So, okay, what did I say next?
You are very much correct. Thicker skin doesn't stop people from doing wrong, but it helps you to ignore all the stupid little annoyances throughout the day. It doesn't mean that other people will see you and go "I want to wear him down." Sure, there are those kind of people out there, I've met a few, but generally they are few and far between, so saying that thick skin encourages them to wear you down isn't true.
You then move on to say that because you tend to be negative doesn't mean all your opinions are negative. Maybe, but negativity bears the fruit of negativity, so it's what we see more of from you. The last part, about the upstanding guy and all, that came out of no where. Like really, I've been surfing youtube for years, and I've only seen one or two people actually attack brony culture, so yeah. I guess you can show me how their all upstanding? So, what did I say about this?
Okay, I differed from the opinion of thick skin by stating that I live by it and learned to in middle school. I actually talked with a lot of people about this because of our conversation, and the all agree that you need thick skin to get through life. Why? Because it helps you filter out all the crap and focus on what really matters. And lets be honest, a youtuber talking about how he doesn't like bronies doesn't even register on the importance meter. I also said that we needed to look to positive things and be positive. I even commended you for bringing up Dr. Wolf. He's a great guy, I love his videos. He's positive, not negative. Then you said this.
You're sorry...congratulations. Sure thicker skin didn't stop them. But it helped me to ignore them, move on, and become more mature than they were. Let me change out thicker skin with a little phrase. "Grow up." Little kids are offended and cry at everything. Adults brush off the dust and find a better place to be. Does this fix the "real" problem? No, it doesn't. Fact is, nothing does. So what did I have to say about it?
4100144 This could have been done in PMs. You're only making this worse.
Short version:
I've taken the advice. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Bottom line: I take it. Again, cherry-picking.
I'm not an infant. Stop being a condescending jerk.
You are indeed jumping the gun.
"Few and far between", my ass.
I'm not psychic. I didn't know you had brain damage.
My murder/rape analogy was taken to the highest degree, but it's still the same principle. Simple as that.
I'm not playing the victim. I'm telling you that your methods aren't working, and that if you didn't want to keep doing this, you'd have been gone sooner. It's the truth. Once again, you pick out things in a case against me while ignoring the advice, encouragement and support I give to my friends. Some of whom would probably have committed suicide if they didn't have anyone else. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's absent. You're being just as presumptuous as I am.
Right now, you're pretty much acting like "the nice guy". You know, the guy who does nice things for a woman and expects a relationship as a reward, and when he doesn't get it, he gets mad and throws a fit. You did something nice, and because I'm not acting the way you think I should, you're throwing a fit that's just as shameful to you as it is to me. You seem to be putting yourself on some kind of pedestal, but the truth is, you're no better than me at all. And your decision to unfollow like it means anything is a testament to that.
Yes, I complain. Yes, I make mistakes. And yes, people hate me for it. But you were the one who made it into something that it didn't have to be. You were the one who thought I was getting bent out of shape, when all I did was ask for opinions. You misjudged my intentions, and instead of treating the situation like it didn't matter, you got on your high horse and basically said that nothing I spoke about matters. You say you're helping, but telling me that my words mean nothing is about as insulting as you can get. So maybe I did insult you and your help. But don't you dare skip out on the blame.
I could say more, but I'm not in the mood for more conflict. If you want to continue this, do it in PMs. Because I'm sick of this damaging both of us when it never needed to even happen. Next comment in this blog from you gets deleted. I'm done arguing about it here.
So what if the guy makes YouTube videos like these? I mean I've wathced it and most of it seems sattire to me.

And FNGR just called you out.
4121888 Don't care. If he wants to act like there's a battle going on when there's really not, then fine. He can have the last word. I'm beyond that petty crap now.
And no, I'm not going to "cry to my hugbox". Like I said, I'm better than that now.
