My case is odd.
It felt rather off-putting, not because of the obvious call towards toxic fandom, but rather how out of place it felt and how unlikeable the non-main characters were.
@Latecomer
A little on the nose frankly.
But since the whole episode was rather taxing I don’t really care, I just like somebody was somewhat decent to the Mane 6.

Now that you point it out like that, yeah I agree. It would be great if they made an episode where Pipp tells the Pippsqueaks that there is more to her than what she brags about on socal media and that she’s just a pony like everyone else.

I’m not a fan of the Pipsqueaks in general, but Pipsqueaks Forever has always been a particularly bad example of portraying influencer behavior to me. Pipp spends the episode stalking some kids she doesn’t know, and when she reveals herself they’re like-
Pipsqueaks: “Uh…we don’t know you stranger, please go away”
Pipp: “No wait It’s okay I’m famous”
Pipsqueaks: “Oh I recognize you from the internet, we trust you now!”
And then she brings them with her with the promise of filming them, seemingly without any of their parents being notified at all.
Given how new influencer culture is and the massive impact is has on kids growing up…maybe be a little more careful with that.

Pipp’s lessons that “her fans love her for her” make me cringe a little because based on my experiences with social media, that’s just not true. Her mistakes in MYM and TYT would have led to her to being deflamed so many times.
Yeah that’s a pretty bad message since it enables influencers and social media stars to continue what they’re doing and think that they’re above any real consequences just because they have legions of fans. To name an RL example, rapper Nicki Minaj is going mentally insane right now and her rabid fanbase is enabling her just because of their devotion to her, so this message can have a negative effect.

The episode was very strawman-y, but I wasn’t offended or attacked from the complaints thrown. The episode had its funny moments but for the most part it was whatever to me. The song in the episode wasn’t good though

Never said it was entirely Larson’s vent art, more than one person worked on it, he just has the writing credit. Also if he were already instructed to write this, regardless of how much this episode is actually is him, that doesn’t mean he never inserted his own opinions into it, even if he ends up regretting how it turned out.

@Twi Clown
Yeah… and showing that the only non-jerk fans were the fillies Princess Twilight met in the beginning gave a sort of implied “well, the show isn’t even for them anyway, is it?” message. (Which, granted, maybe bronies needed a bit of sometimes, but still.)

Hard to call it vent Art when the guy who wrote it has publicly denounced it. Iirc he’s gone on to say a lot of the ideas in the episode was at Hasbro’s request

‘Fame and Misfortune’ is not meant to be an accurate representation of the fandom. It’s vent art.
That happens to very accurate in more than one instance.

Yeah, as an admin of the FiM Wiki for around 5 years at that point, I thought that the portrayal of some of the less friendly aspects of the fandom was spot on - particularly the stuff with Fluttershy (since I had seen that exact sentiment, several times, at some points almost verbatim to what was said in the episode, expressed in various places)

If it is what you think it is, it’s not. Because there was an active part of her, rather than you know…let natural selection do it’s magic without any intervention.

@Mr.Myoozik
Not to mention it’s strawmany because virtually everybody is a jerk.
“That’s how online communities are”. Yeah, but that’s because geographic proximity between jerks is meaningless online with connected screens worlwide. Realistically speaking you go to a physical convention and most people often mention how healthy and easygoing is the environment.
Has it been a single or a small sample of jerks I’d make sense, but making everybody a jerk actually kills the suspension of disbelief. The story gets consumed by a message and stops being entertaining.
Larson himself mentioned he regrets making the episode and who can blame him, venting alone is usually terrible to make a story.
It also has a terrible side effect: unless the show is a black comedy or purposely dire like a barbarian tale, making everybody an unlikeable jerkass makes you feel no interest for how the story goes nor what happens to the characters. To quote Lucifer:
“You see? This is exactly what I’m talking about Charlie. You build something nice, you invite people in and offer them everything and they just bring violence and chaos to your doorstep. It doesn’t matter how well intentioned you are, they’re always going to disappoint you.”
If everybody is horrible in Equestria then let them die by Tirek or Chrysalis.
Is not a mouth piece, is a lighthearted show. Regardless of toxic fandoms (not innocents themselves) the point of a story is tell a tale and the purpose of internet mods is filter jerks. Each with their role.
