Re: Recent fandom disappointments

[feotakahari]

For context, the MLP fandom has some really horrible misanthropes. I've learned to watch for red flags in stories that have ponies interacting with humans, because there's a decent chance they'll wind up all "Ponies awesome, humans horrible." (And if they are, there's a very high chance of "All humans should be transformed into ponies so they can be awesome and not horrible.")

There's an author I've been reading for a while who's done some really interesting analysis of a character who doesn't get much focus in canon. He decided to do a fic about humans interacting with ponies, and it threw up some red flags right off the bat. There were at least three comments in the first page of comments that were along the lines of "I wouldn't normally read this, but you're such a great writer that I'll give you a chance," and he did a comment in response promising that he'd give humanity a fair portrayal.

In the very last chapter, he went straight for "humans are horrible, ponies are awesome, humans would be better off as ponies."

My one consolation was that the vast majority of the commenters were as or more pissed off than me. I haven't seen this much rage at an ending since Mass Effect 3. (He seriously didn't understand what everyone was so angry about--he thought he'd ended on a message his readers would agree with.)
