hey isn't that Cartoon Brew website the same place that the original hater article came from?
the one that pretty much sparked the entire fandom into existence?

I'm all for giving things a fair shake, but this just looks like bland CGI. What's more, having fan expectations like that is never, EVER a smart idea. Nobody planned for MLP to take off like it did. Even then, they kept doing what they were doing, although the occasional Derpy cameo did make it known that they knew about their secondary audience.

I dunno. Telling me to join a community based on a misunderstood reason just makes me want to reject it. I know that's irrational, but it's a "Keep off grass, let's play soccer" thing for me.
