You can decide how seriously you take the question. Whether it be in your personal life ("I wish I didn't see that Ebay listing that I missed just by mere seconds") or in the "pony-canon" ("Could have gone living without knowing that Gusty sounds like Bart Simpson").
As for me, I sometimes wish that I didn't know about some of the prototypes we almost got. Posey-pose Birthday Pony for example :cry:
-
I wish other people didn't know about ponies so I could get them all for myself :lol:

So much.

I wish I didn't know about the different country ponies, now I want them. :sad: :cloud:
-
Actually, Gusty predates Bart Simpson by 3 years.
-
The biggest one for me. That Hasbro UK were going to make a regular Paradise and sell her with the Estate, but then DIDN'T.
Also, in more general terms, I'd have lived happier without seeing, experiencing and hearing about brony antics for the last nine years. But eh. That's not all G4 fans and I'm sure they're even more sick of it.
-
I wish I didn't know that some of the prototypes I see in the pictures in some of my phamplets and have been oogling over most of my life are actually made of clay and painted. I also wish I didn't know MLPs are considered valuable collectibles by some as I feel it takes all the fun out of them and makes them so expensive. I also wish I didn't know about the twisted and obscene side of the FiM fandom and that that fanbase supposedly had an influence on the cartoons with inside jokes or something, makes me want to not watch the cartoons at all.

I just learned that one of the birds in the original G1 movie was apparently drawn with a butthole, which is something I could live without knowing.

XD I'm sorry, that's hilarious. I wonder if it was Puddles and Peek's pet?
-
Most of the MLP things I wish I didn't know come from...unofficial g4 content. But I also wish OTHER people didn't know, more than myself. I've gotten mean comments on my custom photos.

Definitely the unpleasant things bronies have done :(

We were so close to having accurate unicorn tails and lil hoof feathers on the pegasus ponies in G5. :(

Hahahaha!!!! Got now I gotta go look! Oh no..
Yea I think ponies being considered valuable like what was mentioned is just gross and sucks the fun out of collecting. I collect to enjoy. No competition, no pony greed, no money greed it's just soft calm and relaxing to me.
Don't get me started on bronies..or people that don't know the difference between brony and g1 collectors. I've been asked if I have had gross behavior ' use your imagination ' :shocked:

I'm gonna agree with the above, and everyone else who said 'things that a certain subset of the G4 fandom have said and done.' :yikes: And I'm sorry you got rude comments on them, Heelys!
Unfortunately, 'not knowing' isn't the same as 'not existing', because I'd vastly prefer the latter for many parts of the G4 fandom. So in terms of not knowing ... that anatomically correct bird is angling for a top-3 spot right now, NGL. :lmao: Uhh, could I say stuff like injuries sustained while customizing? Because every time I pull out my X-acto knife to do anything, I remember all of the stories about customizers gouging themselves accidentally... :yikes:
-
I agree also. That's why I never got interested in G4. It just turned me off. I hate when people put collectors in that category with bronies that took it too far.

100% agree with this! Of the leaked designs and even the early color scheme concepts for the main characters that we got to see, I feel like final g5 went with the least interesting ones.
I wish I didn’t know about…the kid who supposedly ate his sister’s toy pony? Found out while looking at the thread on pony toxicity. Gross. Ick. I hate it.
I don’t want to shut down people rightfully kvetching about gross brony behavior! Quite a bit of it was gross. But…I attended a few brony cons during their heyday, made some nice brony con going friends, had a lot of fun, and even bought a lot of g1s! There is plenty of brony stuff that’s unpleasant though, and I sure don’t want to barge in here going “not all bronies!” so please carry on.

I think I shall stay blissfully ignorant and NOT google this... :biggrin:

Big mood! Would definitely keep some of the prices lower, which is better for my wallet lol.
Knowledge is power, but I do wish I was blissfully unaware of prototype ponies. Then I wouldn’t be going nuts over what could have been, and drooling at the mere mention of owning one.

Oh, for sure. That's why I phrased my post the way I did. I used the brony label for a good few years myself, and there were plenty of awesome people who did/do the same. And if there's not at least one bit of brony fan music you still listen to and will defend with your life, you're lying.

OH, now that last part is 100% accurate! I noticed the careful phrasing, I appreciate it, and I hope I did the same.

I could have done without knowing about the two sitting pose Greek ponies. I'm not a nirvana fiend particularly, but they are just SO pretty and SO expensive.
Not going to google bronies btw. You've all worried me too much!

Eh, it's just a very broad topic. Boils down to "large demographic of adult fans (mostly men) realize they like something not traditionally masculine, make it all about themselves and create an unsafe fan environment for the target audience".
Sprinkle in the fact that the first wave of new fans came from unregulated boards who created stapes of the 2010s web like the "rules of the internet" (Rule 30: Girls don't use the internet. If you say you're a girl, and don't have proof, you're lying. Rule 43: The more beautiful and pure a thing is — the more satisfying it is to corrupt it.) and you've got a vocal percentage of unpleasantness.

I feel like it was genuinely like that for us in the nineties, since there was only one other local collector and she sold up and left after a couple of years. They weren't big online at that point, and it was easy to trade for whatever I wanted rather than having to find money, which for a teenager was a big deal. It was a great time to be a pony collector :D Back in the days when MLP was still carboot sale junk and you could sometimes find a MIP best friends or euro family baby for £2 at a local market stall.
Most of the bronies weren't born when I first started using the internet. I dare them to tell me that I don't exist xD.

That's when I was collecting Kenner LPS to add to my childhood collection. It was a similar experience. I remember using money orders on eBay too. I was 15 when we first got the internet :) Gee, how did I survive half my teen years without it :lol:

I used the internet for the first time at 15 as well! Though it was a library computer :) We got the internet at home when I was 16, literally RIGHT before my school exams (great timing xDD) in April 1998.

I don't defend or listen to their fan music. So there. It's probably creepy, gross and full of mean south parkish "humor". I also wish I'd never heard of or encountered them and all that they do. Could've gone my whole dang life without that.
I was in my late teens when I first started going on the internet.

Eh, some is more on the crude or edgy side, but most MLP fan music is genuinely good. Most of what I remember is music using samples of the characters from the show speaking, or remixes from show songs. My favorite MLP fan musician is So Great & Powerful. I'm sure if you gave it a chance, you'd change your mind. :good:
Edit: Oh, and that reminds me! Some brony musicians have also made music in tribute to G1 as well. I recently listened to one for Princess Tiffany.

Nah it's just electronic music. Honestly despite the awful parts of the community getting a lot of attention there were plenty of talented decent people within the fandom. The problem is they didn't make any effort to ostracize the bad apples.

Definitely the prototypes. Especially the Fancy Swirl ponies, they seem like they would have been extremely beautiful...
-
I want to be blissfully unaware of the rising g1 pony prices, import fees and shipping costs.
