perhaps i mis-phrased that - i meant less that 'mlparena folks dislike bronies because they like a show for girls while i think that is cool', more-so i meant 'a lot of mlparena folks seem to find the bad side of bronies overshadows the good, while for me it is the inverse.' thank you all for your responses, though. i enjoyed reading them
I think Starlight and Melody, too, are easy to mix up. They're the same shade of pink and they're also quite similar in themeing... at least I think so. Melody wants to be a musician, a... star, perhaps?I didn't like Pinkie Pie as a child when I was the target demographic for G3. I liked her at the start because she was the "little sister" but as time went on and she became the "leader" I didn't like it. It didn't help that she has the same voice as Sarah from Ed, Edd n Eddy, making her even more obnoxious and bratty to me. I don't like the more pastel look they ended up giving her down the line too. I like the dark pink body, light pink hair. Eventually they made her entirely the same colour. Not dissimilar to how they lightened up/brightened Rainbow Dash... she went from a cloudy, grey-ish blue colour to teal, to a sky blue. The pearly bodies really make them special too compared to the lighter/brighter matte bodies... I love the (relative) jewel-y, dusky look of early G3. I wish MLP did more jewel tones. Kimono is gorgeous and the prototype Star Catcher they have in the pamphlet is to die for. It's an elegant look for MLP and it's too bad people want baby pink all the time. I had my pastel phase and it burned out too quickly. I've gone back to my childhood roots of loving warm colours and jewel tones. My very first favourite colour was red!

I'm sure the G4 community had some great stuff, but it was built on the back of hate and derision aimed at existing pony collectors. That's obviously going to inform our feelings going forward. I feel like if more non-toxic fans had done more to call out the behaviour and try and stop it, we'd probably have a better overall impression of the G4 fandom.
Unpopular opinion bronies would disagree with, I find the art and art style gorgeous and I think girly things is good!
Brony issue was that is the Anime crowd. g4 just looked close to their favourite slop, so same problems arose. Can not clean anime fan spaces.
I swear, if I see many more Sunny Starscouts, I'm going to rename this generation the mane 1.
I'm getting really sick of Sunny, too.
I'm already tired of Sunny as well.
And yeah, as Taffeta mentioned, the porn was a massive issue. Personally, I don't have a problem with that sort of thing as long as it is properly filtered and tagged so that the only people who see it are people who consented to viewing it. And sure, other fandoms have this issue, but honestly, in my experience, bronies were the worst about it.
