@crusader8 Well I wasn't trying to put down the creativity of the people so much as the spreading. If you get motivation from MLP and you've made yourself better at music or art or whatever, good on ya. It's just the fact that you don't have to force it on everyone and you can post it privately or something for criticization or whatever. For a long while, the fandom was a centered group of artists and certain people from each creative outlet that made stuff. The rest of us would practice or something and every now and then, when we felt something was good enough, or if people asked, we would show it. If alot of people liked it, you could join the elite squad of whatever-you're-doing. Nowadays it feels like everyone feels like they are entitled to be in that group. It reminds me of the whole "Giving trophies to the losing team" sort of argument.
