The fandom could potentially be in danger.
Edit: No, this is not a prank. I’ve pasted some sources in the comments, but in case they get buried I’ll include them up here as well.

It’s a hollier-than-thou attitude of a licensee. Hasbro did not copyright or trademark the term. It’s Zazzle who try to “protect the IP on behalf of Hasbro”. If they were selling Audi franchize they’d claim a Audi has trademark on the circle, since their logo is four circles.
Honestly This is all just fake. I mean really? Hasbro wouldn’t copyright the term brony, its like if the makers of Doctor Who copyrighted Whoovian, It will not happen
The internet might be at stake here…
Because 85.5% of the internet has bronies on it…
Those sites might get C&D’d and/or shut down…
Soon the internet will only be google, microsoft, apple etc…
deviantart ect…
That wouldn’t be the case, because Hasbro works along side Zazzle because Zazzle sells officially licensed MLP designs.

They sell officially licensed crystal pony Gummy shirts. That’s oddly specific, but I ain’t complaining.
LOL LOL LOL!!!
There we go, new name. No big deal. May even sound better than the last.

This looks like a job for our lord and savior.
No.

People are acting like Hasbro has declared war on the fandom. Or at least that they are STEALING “our” word.
Good thing we never took any words, images, music or video content that rightfully belonged to them without their express consent, or we would be huge hypocrites, am I right guys?
@Grieffon
Hasbro isn’t a gullible tumblr user or a meme spouting redditor. They know that the stigma is 99% bullshit and they don’t care.

They care a lot about “on the net”.

On the net is primarily why they want it.
