Just my humble opinion but I don't get the G4 fans fixation with 'show accuracy'. And the new ponies are ugly to me. They have rubber hose limbs and real horses, even fantasy inspired ones, simply don't look as comically ridiculous as these new toys do. I'll keep my G4 collection as it's sizable and cute but the new toys are just horrendous to me.
The issue is many of these people aren't fans of My Little Pony. They're really fans of themselves. They act like they are the greatest thing on the planet. Their art and fiction and community are God's gift to the world. We should be honored they grace us with their presence.When the 2015 Fair announced the Shakeups and Andrea Libman, bronies on that site were quick to claim they had taken over the Fair in their campaign of total domination of the MLP fan community.
Doesn't stop folks from replying to my statement of "oh I collect My Little Pony" with "oh, you're a one of those 'bro-nies' then?' with a dubious look. So I just don't ... mention it anymore.
"can't fit into ponywear" --I love it. My poor ponies are forced to live out my dressup fantasies...I don't like being called brony either, before I even knew anything bad about them.I don't have to be a brony to like pony rumps, I mean ponies.
The big difference between the G1/G2 'controversy' and the G1/2/3 vs G4 split is a matter of scope.
Media hubs pick up on what is trending, but in the 1990s, it would have taken a considerable amount of effort for the material to have become so widespread. Now it takes nothing at all. That is the actual difference. It isn't scope. It's era.
