Description

Saved from ShieldWingArmorofGod as a fellow fan and supporter of My Little Pony Generation 5

There is word going around that G5 is ending next month on October 17th. To make things worse, fans and even voice actors have been receiving booing and literal death threats. Completely unacceptable!

I'm an early 1980s baby. I've literally grown up with MLP, as G1 premiered the very year I was born. Gen3 and G4 are easy favorites, but G5 has quickly become my top favorite I will always love and appreciate G4 (and all previous generations for that matter, minus 3.5), but G5 had my heart from day 1 and it will remain so. It's true that G5 will never stack up to G4, but it does NOT deserve all the hate that it is getting. Such abhorrent behavior is inexcusable and not what Twilight Sparkle and MLP as a whole worked so hard to teach us. I actually reached out to Hasbro last night via DM, practically begging them to keep G5 going and telling them how much I and so many love and appreciate G5. The hate for G5 has made my blood boil from the start, but death threats are crossing the line. G5 shouldn't have to die because a few neighsayers throw a hissy fit. Cancellation just means they win, and devoted fans don't want that

I'm taking this cancel rumor with a grain of salt. And there have been many videos going around about this issue, including a video from GoldenFox speaking up against the unwarranted hate and death threats. And I hope more in this community speak up about this death threat mess and defending G5 like he and Hawk Nightwing and so many others have done. Twilight Sparkle and Sunny Starscout are my favorite ponies/alicorns, and I will happily say I relate to both of them. I will always love and defend G5, as so many others have done and continue to do. And to all fellow G5 fans like myself, let us all remember Sunny's words and do our part, hoof to heart!

Updated to include a few more videos and Hawkwing's community note below. I share it, as it expresses many of my exact feelings on this whole G5 situation:

In the wake of ‪@GoldenFoxPictures‬’s video and tweets from ‪@Makakaka‬ about the Bahia Watson (Misty’s voice actress) situation, I’m just going to come out and say this. The mainstream MLP fandom has turned into a complete joke. It’s perfectly fine if G5 isn’t or wasn’t for you. You don’t have to like it. But when you start harassing voice actors or anyone who worked on the show, you instantly lose all sympathy from me. This is not what our fandom was built on, and Twilight Sparkle would be ashamed of you. You people claim to represent her teachings, yet you turn around and do the complete opposite. You are no better than the anti-Bronies you once claimed to stand against. Booing someone like that at a convention is never okay under any circumstances, especially when their series is already cancelled. Bahia did a phenomenal job as Misty (and Peach Fizz too, apparently) and truly made the character her own. Misty is one of if not the best aspect of G5 and she will be missed dearly. I stand with her and all the people who worked on this generation, writers, voice actors, animators, so on and so forth. They made something incredible that YOU (the haters) could never hope to make, and you should feel ashamed of yourselves. I feel awful that they were screwed over by Hasbro’s management, and they deserve so much better than this. All of the voice actors deserve better than this. You may not have cared for G5, but imagine if you were in Bahia’s shoes, getting booed over something you care about so deeply. Imagine you were a part of a project and got bullied just because people didn’t like it. You may not like their work, but they are artists too. And artists deserve so much more respect, especially in this day and age. Absolutely disgusting. I don’t think me making a video on this is warranted as again, Golden Fox already did that far better than I could ever do, and I think I’ve had enough of talking about drama for at least a month. Plus, my fan trailer celebrating the third anniversary of A New Generation is coming out in a few hours, and I’d hate to ruin the celebration vibe. But if you guys could share this post around and make the situation more widely known (as well as give your support to the VAs on Twitter), I’d really appreciate that. It’s important to show creatives your love, and any kind of support would be great. If anything though, this situation is yet another reminder of why I am so reluctant to make G4 content. I certainly have that itch to do so, but toxic behavior such as this puts me off from making them as I don’t want to reward terrible behavior such as this. I have the utmost reverence for talented creators, and I know what it’s like to pour your all into something you’re passionate about. To Bahia Watson and all the people who poured countless hours into making G5 as great as it was…thank you. You deserve better, and we appreciate everything you did for us. And to the “fans” responsible for bullying them…do better.
