@nightlight From what I can tell, most fans of the original show/s actually hate FiM because it's nothing like them. (I for one think this is why I love FiM, but I digress)

@nightlight I do ignore it most of the time ,but if someone asks me for my opinion on Rule 34 for childrens' material, I just tell exactly how I feel (okay no one "asked"' me here per say, but you know what I mean)

@nightlight MLP has done wonders! I would say if it wasn't for Lauren Faust it wouldn't have been even close to what it is now. We all just wanted something good to come on television and she answered at a different angle.

@nightlight That's what i wanna know!

@nightlight Logic doesn't dictate that they'd necessarily sell better. What about collectors, or (yes, they exist) fans of the old style designs? Pleasing one group of people might easily alienate another, more profitable one. I'm guessing Hasbro has already DONE that groundwork, otherwise they probably would have changed up the designs to be more show like. That's probably the reason between their schizophrenic adherence to the old designs whilst producing the blind-bag non-brushables in the new style. That just happens to be the compromise that leads to maximised profits. I don't think Hasbro cares about the knockoff stuff because they don't intend to operate in that market. It would probably cost them more to buy store space and produce, test and market stuff for the brony audience than their stats say that they'd make.

@nightlight I know I can't stop it ,I would never be so naiive (sp) but that doesn't change the fact that I find sexualisation of children's characters to be wrong on so many levels. The same goes for any franchise, like Sonic for example (well okay, Rouge was kind of ASKING for that sort of art to be drawn of her upon her conception, but I mean for characters like Tails and Cream who are also underage... ><)

@nightlight I say give Hasbro some time and they might start selling more merch pointed towards the bronies. Hot Topic already has MLP shirts, but they're for woman sadly.

@nightlight I agree with you 100%.
