I just hope that, when this generation ends, that *maybe* we can get back to a time where G3 isn’t so hated. I miss being able to draw and post G3 fan art...
The g4 toyline and show are ending. But Fandoms go on for decades.

On another note- G5 has been announced for 2020? Where have I been? Living under a rock?
it makes it hard to interact with other fans without immediately running into a wall of text explaining why I'm not a "real" fan if I don't hate such and such episode or why you have to love such and such character.
I couldn't care less if g4 and g4 fandom die. Sorry Hasbro has been milking it for too long now. They should do something new. Real new, not g4 in a slightly modified mold.I think the 'paranoia' might come from how the g4 fandom is based around media, internet memes, songs, youtube videos and such - the g4 fans need to maintain it all the time to keep it going or it becomes old. The g1 g2 g3 fandoms are based around the plastic figures so the g1 through g3 fans don't really need to do anything, as long as the old plastic figures are around everything is A ok. g1 through g3 just become vintage, they never get old.
G1 bashing is just about insecurity. It is also about people making up their mind to mock and hate without actually knowing anything about it. (Don't get me wrong, they don't have to like or research g1 but to vocally trash it it helps to at least know what you are trashing.)But I think it reflects an insecurity in the community that if they are not the best mlp gen then they don't count or something. Really there are a lot of g4 fans who are not like that though. It is just some.Maybe age demographic also has a role. Not that I think all younger fans are a problem or all older collectors are saints...but I remember how hostile things were when g2 xame out and in hindsight I think a lot of that was because many of us were angsty teenagers.
