Gotta get this off my chest, because people like this really piss me off.
As many know, there are people out there who hate what MLP has become, claiming that “the show is ruined’ or “I stopped watching the show, it just isn't good any more ”...
And yet they go out of their way to complain about every new episode that comes out and verbally attack it based on the synopsis alone.
Question:
If you're not gonna watch the show anymore, why should your opinion be taken under any sort of consideration?
Why should anyone take it nothing more than a grain of salt?
If you wanna go back to when the CMC were still trying to get their Cutie Marks then go ahead and watch previous episodes. If you hate Twicorn that much, then go watch season 2.
But here's the thing; the “status quo is God” trope is STUPID.
The show and characters have changed and grown since then and your refusal to accept that showcases an inability to adapt to a changing series and its fandom.
And those who claim they are “true bronies" by “accepting pre-Twicorn over the modern episodes” are using that excuse as a crutch to disguise their real complaints, which is: “I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!! EVERYTHING HAS TO STAY EXACTLY THE SAME!!”
Shit changes, sometimes for better or worse, and you've gotta roll with it.
But if you're not gonna watch the newer episodes of series anymore, then your opinions on said episodes don't have much weight, and you've basically lost the right to complain about them or at the very least have those complaints be taken remotely seriously. Again, you haven't watched it, so why should we acknowledge the opinion of someone who might not even know what they're talking about?
Don't ask someone to be open-minded when you're too close-minded.
I like this one (s)he's got the right idea.

I'm a dude.
And people complaining about the show being ruined need to wake up and stop following the hate-bandwagon. Anyone can go with the flow, in fact, the weak specialize in it. A true strong person is willing to fight the current.
I agree with you 100%. If you don't watch it, then you have no right to bitch about it. It's sort of the same thing with voting, if you don't vote in the election, then you don't have a right to bitch about the president since you didn't take a side during the election.
Okay, I have to admit. This was a good speech. This is why I like you Alpha. You call people out when they need it.
