Will 2017 be a shit storm of epic proportions?
>movie comes out
>bronies actually go out in public to see it because it's actually about ponies this time
>marketing for it will be absolutely everywhere
>suddenly bronies are back in the public spotlight on a level not seen since 2011
>the new attention leads to further derision, ridicule, and occasional support from news channels, celebs, and normies alike
>cringe compilations and brony "sightings"reach new popularity
>suddenly fandom, including /mlp/, gets massively inundated with a whole new generation of bandwagoners and ironic fans, and real fans that are 16 and under
>content becomes even shittier
>movie is just ok
>"I don't see the appeal" becomes a global phenomenon
>face of the fandom and /mlp/ permanently altered from all the publicity, and many people begin jumping ship until the fandom dies completely
Am I autistically doompauling too much? Yes, but this scenario actually frightens me. What if 2017 is our reckoning?

Not really, if the movie is actually any good I imagine this may occur. Though I really don't want it too.

At least we get to be smug and call out take fans.

POST YOUR HYPE FACE WHENthe movie brings hordes of normies into the fandom and we get more new content than we've had since 2012

We could use more new content on this board. I'm getting tired of all the rehashed crap. If I gotta read one more Homeless Shimmer story I'm may actually drink bleach.

B-but anon, what if all the new content is shit?

I can't wait for when people are forced to see the trailer before movies. The drama will be delicious.

oh god, i didn't even think about that.
How will /tv/ ever recover?
>>
>>28899157
You're overestimating it. The fandom is pretty much dead, public didn't care about EqG and won't care about this. Some news here and there but that's it.

clear this one for me dudes
does someone actually dislike ponies?
i mean i saw a lot of shit about bronies around 2011~2012 but i dont think any of that hate was directed torwards the show itself.
i get that not anyone absolutely loves the show like i do and many people just pay it no mind but does someone actually HATE the ponies? wtf theyre cute even by normie standards
>>

There's a phenomenon, I can't think of the specific name, where people will hate something just because of the people associated with it, independent of those people themselves.
So, regardless of the quality or merit of the original content itself, the dislike for it only grows in relation to its popularity and perceived inundation by so-called "superfans" and "weirdos."
This effect can be seen in everything from Frozen to FNaF. The actual original works themselves may have been average or above in comparison to things around them, but they are still massively hated by many simply because of how prevalent their fans are online.
I think this can explain the hatred of the show within circles outside of the fandom. Most of them haven't seen it, but their hate for the fans bleeds over into hating the show, despite its comfiness and cuteness even to normies.

nobody hates ponies they hate autistic fatasses that make it a central facet of their identity
