No, no no no you don’t understand.

I like My Little Pony and Steven Universe at the same time so that question is nulled immediately.

The backstory of my comment is that the runners of Equestria Daily are rumoured (Probably true though) to be making a separate website and sidestuff for Steven Universe.

The problem is that this is seen as bad for the Steven Universe community. Why? One word.

Bronies.

Not just fans of MLP, I’m  fan of MLP but i’m not a Brony.

‘Bronies’ (Capital B) are notorious for being the ones who effectively ‘’ruined’ the mlp fandom and made it unsafe for little girls and boys and non binaries to google My Little Pony without being subjected to masses of porn, and have so much as asked the voice actors of the show if they know of notorious negative blogs (Like that one ‘Princes Molestia’ blog). They’ve overall turned what was a loveable show about friendship and magic and female empowerment into a cesspool of fedorabeard garbage that would probably scar my 11 year old sister.

The SU fandom is in fear that with the influx of the negative effects of the Bronies will bring a lot of content that the fandom doesn’t really want to see, like an influx of porn or heavy SU gore, which the series doesn’t really revolve around. At all. The fear that the bronies will go out of their way to harass the creators and make callouts to a show that is very heavily based off of acceptance and discovering ones’self to gratuitous content of the mainly female cast that nobody really wants to see. (Unless you’re into that kind of thing in which case hey, more power to you. Tag your shit.)

And while the argument for ‘R34′ is always valid and there, the Steven Universe fandom isn’t the kind of fandom that warrants any kind of negativity. As far as ive been in this fandom (Which is since the pilot) I’ve seen nothing but love and acceptance and understanding and jokes and good natured humor and interactions from the fans and every person I’ve met who is a fan of the show (It’s a lot of people i’m tellin’ you right now) are so kind and happy, and I’ve met some people who I would never expect to be fans of SU. I’ve med /b/tard regulars who like Steven Universe. I’ve met Policemen who like steven universe and watch it with their kids. I’ve met an elderly hindi lady and her family who liked SU. I just recently got my friend into Steven U and I never thought he’d get into it at all.

I’ve met Rebecca Sugar. She’s a wonderful nice woman. I’ve met Estelle and Zach, and they’re absolutely beautiful to talk to. I don’t want them to be subject to negativity from a Brony influx. I don’t want them being harassed at conventions or asked inappropriate questions. I don’t want this show spiraling down into what MLP essentially became.

You can like MLP and SU at the same time. I like them at the same time. But coming from a long time SU fan and active contributor to the fandom, I don’t want Steven Universe becoming what My Little Pony did.

I don’t think anyone really does.
