Adults who fangirl/fanboy MLP are more than a little creepy to non-fans. You don't have to agree with it, but it's true. Sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

Adult MLP Fangirl here isn't crying over what non-fans think. Sorry.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Not to the writers!

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

You're not even trying.

[intrigueing.livejournal.com]

Why? No really, why are they creepy? Because it's unusual, and everything unusual is immoral and wrong? Because the only reason adults like anything is so they can fap to it? Why? I understand making fun of them, even if I think it's stupid, but why creepy? Anyone? Anyone?

[(Anonymous)]

They don't creep me at all. TBH, I'm confused by the enthusiasm. It's way more confusing with the Transformers fans because the MLP people don't seem like furries but Transformers people totally seem like objectophiles.

[(Anonymous)]

I really dislike when people make sweeping statements passing off their own opinion as the opinion of everyone who is not a fan of MLP. You find it creepy. A lot of other people do too, but not everyone; I don't. I don't get it, sure, but then I don't get why anyone would listen to Lady Gaga, that doesn't make it creepy.

Animation is a wonderful craft and a well written series - no matter the marketing target - deserves appreciation.

I can't believe in this age there's still a stigma over clean animation automatically being for kids only.

[humblebot.livejournal.com]

On one hand, female transformers fan isn't the biggest part of fandom, but on the other, yeah that sucks. It'd be nice if they even acknowledged we exist instead of catering to male tf fans completely.

[iteari.livejournal.com]

This. Coming from a female fan of MLP with conflicted feelings about the Brony catering on the show with Derpy recently.

[ravewalker.livejournal.com]

This, and for MLP too. It's lovely that yeah, MLP works for some male fans as well, but they're not your total fanbase (and some of us female fans have been around since the 80s loving it then as well as now - but that's a totally different kettle of hipsterfish).

[kindlycoyote.livejournal.com]

Heck, I'm jealous too OP. Sometimes I feel that people in production don't appreciate the fans they keep trying to bring in enough. 'Here, let's throw some slop at them and hope they keep coming in!'

Seriously, if I ever become famous? I have PLANS. For example- those fanfiction writers that are brilliant writers and nail characters? They shall be drafted to write episodes and perhaps get tickets to red-carpet events should my series ever become a movie. Because, come on, who of us wouldn't want stuff like that to happen to us?

[(Anonymous)]

You won't become famous.

[(Anonymous)]

What are you, 16? 17?

[theorygirl.livejournal.com]

Actually, you probably wouldn't be legally allowed to read fanfiction, to prevent plagiarism claims. I guess you could have someone you know read the fics and tell you who the good authors are, if you wanted to.

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds fun :D
I bet your series fandom would thrive and adore you for it... and if some of them ever become a problem re: copyright issues... well, let's just say they may get hit by the fandom stick <.< (not always the nicest way, but I think it could keep those people in line)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, this just supports the Brony notion that because they're male fans, their opinion is more important than those silly females the show is marketted at.

[(Anonymous)]

Man, this whole fandom just confuses the shit out of me. It's like you guys have some kind of gang war. How can you even tell who's who?

[(Anonymous)]

The whole reaction to the Derpy Hooves thing here on LJ made me sad. Sure, there were people who recognised that it's a problematic inclusion, but there were even more people who, even after having it explained to them, would rather dismiss people's concerns than admit the show could be flawed. You can like a show and still acknowledge it's not perfect, you know?

I know lots of people say "well, I don't use 'derpy' in a way intended to mock people with mental disabilities/didn't know 'derpy' could be used that way, so it's okay, kids won't get it". But kids will get it, and just because (hypothetical) you doesn't use it that way doesn't mean nobody will.

Here in the UK, there's a certain charity that's dedicated to helping children with mental disabilities. A charity. I still remember the charity having to legally change its name, because it's previous name actually became a playground slur, the same way people use "r*tard". Kids recognised that the name was used in association with mentally disabled children, and turned that name iinto something hatred and cruel and meant to hurt. So everyone who says that 'derpy' is a nonsense word and kids won't associate it with anything negative is seriously underestimating children's ability to understand and twist words into their own language.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Exactly how would they go about doing that, if they did?

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

I don't watch Transformers - is there a background character who thousands of fans have latched on to? Or similar fanon they could easily make canon? If not, get on that! It's probably your best chance. Hype it, get it to meme status. I should become aware of the character/meme even though I don't watch TF. Then, and only then, maybe Hasbro will take notice.

Personally I was not super-fond of that scene because it felt kind of forced (not to mention the whole kinda unfortunate aftermath of the voice actress' confusion about Derpy's sex leading her to make certain voice choices).

[lovegonnadrown.livejournal.com]

this entire comment thread is literally the worst thing i have ever seen on fandomsecrets

good job everyone

good job

[netbug009.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT?!

I'm jealous and I'm in BOTH fandoms! I want even one good Transformers Prime shirt, but all I see is movie junk.

[miff-falden.livejournal.com]

Derpy in the show is the work of Studio B. If Hasbro cared about the fans they wouldn't have made toy!Celestia pink.
