I do however enjoy a lot of the art that comes out of it. I have no problem with a link between the two, but I wish to point out that one does not imply the other (or vice-versa). The communities, while they share some characteristics, are not explicitly linked - and you'll see people on both sides that will try and dissociate the two (regardless of whether a link is present or not). ~ I'm bothered by generalizations and such, I've ranted on this kind of thing before (not just in the mlp community), and it's a personal feeling of mine."}
