Bros it seems the fandom is finally dying with G6

>even the biggest corporate whore bails out
Impressive. Hasbro truly hate money if you still had any doubts.

What happend?

>>42730980 (OP)
Go to bed, Seth.

>>42731254
Hasbro contacts him to remove or change articles LOL

>>42730993
>sethisto

*FTFY

I hope he stays true to his word. G6 will probably be even worse than G5, it doesn't deserve to gain any traction among anyone, bronies and little girls alike.

How can you be this new?

>>42730980 (OP)
Also, how can you be burnt out from writing like three posts a day? So exhausting..

Bed. Now.

I'd feel burnt out from writing about ugly beanmouth dogs even once a year.

anon, they can still do a Nintendo and DMCA every single piece of fan content on the Internet
inb4 this happens when G6 gets released

>>42730980 (OP)
bump

>>42731458
That won't happen, those G4 content is one of the major reasons even today's children still buy gen 4 plushies till these days. Like no kidding, my local toy store somehow put some brand new gen 4 plushies on their front shelves and they were gone by the next week while gen% toys from 2023 still sits on the shelves till this day.

>>42732072
>That won't happen
Anon, we are talking about Hasbro
they cancelled "MLP 2.0" / M6 for G5 in favor of new ponies and balkanized Equestria of the future
they brought back G5 writer for G6
LIVE ACTION MOVIE IS STILL A THING ANON

Don't worry anons, eventually I'll climb the creative ladder and I'll be in charge of a mlp gen, I promise to make it both cute and whimsical

>>42731254
When Hasbro's emails leaked, people found out he was in Hasbro's payrol, marketing, specifically.
I don't have the screencaps, but I don't think it'll be hard to find on desu

>>42732083
g5 was supposed to be a g4 reboot but didn't happen because Discovery had the rights to air g4 characters not hasbro

>>42732218
>lose your airing license to Discovery
>lose your vidya license to Gameloft
how fucking retarded are suits at Hasbro?

>>42732225
mega retarded, they could of just leased Gameloft the license for only mobile games since they will never ever make anything for PC and so on

>>42732211
>When Hasbro's emails leaked, people found out he was in Hasbro's payrol, marketing, specifically.
how are people still surprised by this stuff in 2025? every single person who covers media is on a company payroll
literally every single one. that's how they are popular in the first place. influencers man

>>42730980 (OP)
Good. Seth has to fucking quit already.

He's been at this for 15 years. He no longer has any love for the fandom, otherwise he wouldn't have turned his back on all the artists and musicians that made it great to embrace AI

Let him put EQD on the hands of newer people and have him quietly retire to a calm life of casual pone

>>42732239
>they will never ever make anything for PC and so on
tbf Gameloft is also known for slop on portable consoles like (3)DS
but yeah, outright selling a license for a project as successful as G4 is gigaretarded

>>42732245
I hate Seth but you sound like a tourist faggot

>>42732072
Last time someone said this it was a third worlder btw

>>42732291
This.
First world kids are on that TikTok slush. Only people buying toys are collectors and manchildren with a nostalgia craving

>>42730980 (OP)
Gee, it's as if the target audience was obvious to begin with (General audiences, including kids + not "fans"). Serves everyone right. Seth included.

I'm at the point where an image of just one bean (jellybeans included) will make anyone angry. Fitting since we're near Halloween already.

>>42731339
>>42731333
I never liked the whole "gen _" to begin with. Pokémon handles it a lot better as a fan term from what I've seen in the past.

>>42732356
Ok season wunner

>>42732372
Just let it out for as long as you can. My last before I leave, you have online friends even here who care.

>>42732253
One doesn't have to be a tourist to hate AI

>>42732356
Hasbro doesn't even get their target audience. They've been fumbling with all their major IPs for a while now. Transformers, Monopoly, MLP, Magic, even D&D

If it wasn't for Monopoly GO being a hit and Peppa still selling like crazy they would've bankrupted already.

>>42732405
you give off chill pedophile vibes like you lowkey like kids but you went to therapy and got impulse control so you would never hurt one if you know what i mean. im a pedophile too and it makes me happy when i read your comments cuz it feels like i can participate on this platofrm too. good on you bro thank you so much

>>42732448
Go back to /jdb/, freak.

>>42732405
I thought Bluey killed Peppa. Maybe I just haven't been paying attention.

>>42732448
You know, people like you is why was a bad idea to shut down madhouses and mental asylums.

>>42732453
>>42732478
>not knowing this is a copypasta

>>42732405
WotC has been financially carrying Hasbro for like the last five or six years. Podcasts like Critical Role and a general cultural turn towards "nerdy" hobbies have created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sell cardboard and rulebooks and licensed spinoffs to theatre kids. The suits have been milking Magic and DND for all that they're worth; Chris Cocks became the new CEO for a reason.
This is good short-term, because the toy department is as retarded as ever and has completely failed to adapt to the new children's market or take any sort of advantage of the legacy appeal of their IPs. Consumer Products income has been declining since before 2020. But it's terrible long term, because they're burning the total dominance WotC used to have in tabletop to cash out on a passing cultural fad.

I know this is a b8 thread but why dont they bring back mom and make it g4 style. Why change somthin that aint broke.

>>42733449
Because the key to success is to do everything except the one thing that worked

>>42733449
Lauren wants absolutely nothing to do with Hasbro after how they treated her.

>>42733449
I don't think it's physically possible to pay Faust enough to make her come back to Hasbro because she knows that they'll just go back on their word and start using the clamps on her the moment they feel like they could be making more money.

>>42730980 (OP)
suicide is always an option OP

>>42731268

I wonder if there was any serious trouble from Hasbro whenever they posted clop in the artfriends. I think its happened, like what, 10 times now?

I genuinely despise all of you tryhard faggots and I have for years, keep measuring dicks and gatekeeping this barren shitheap of a board that peaked a decade ago. utterly pathetic.

>>42734014
>I don't think it's physically possible to pay Faust enough
Just ask for 10 times the pay. Everyone ain't gonna survive on pensions in the future so may as well try to go full jew on your pay.

you incessant faggots always say the fandom's dying.

>>42734346
It is in their hearts, they're losing interest so they assume that everyone else is too.

>>42734355
I actually love ponies more than ever.

>>42734356
Oh yeah? Well, I actually love you more than ever. What now huh?

>>42734361
That's very kind of you but you don't know anything about me. I'd recommend redirecting that love towards something you know a lot about, like ponies.

>>42734364
I do love ponies. I imagine you as a pony all of the time.

>>42732083
>LIVE ACTION MOVIE IS STILL A THING ANON
Would be based if they make it like stormfx's videos and cast gosling as the human protagonist with very subtle romcom between him and twilight.

>>42733449
>Why change somthin that aint broke.
Because that goes against Hasbro and pretty much every modern companies philosophy. They will continue to ruin things because the entire executive and upper management sector is filled with nepo babies.

>>42734405
It's also simple ego. Everyone wants to put their mark on a business, they want to be able to say that they're the reason that things are good, therefore they change things up.

>>42732448
>lowkey
Gyatt, boy, you got dat skibidi rizz goin, no cap, no cap! You da Rizzler in Ohio, my 67?! Miss me wid dat, y'all!
>>42733496
Can't really blame her.

>>42732242
No. Like everything else, it's a choice.
>influencers
Again, no. Influencers of today as a cultural phenomenon are, first and foremost, sock puppets of glowniggers, created and modeled after spy rings. When you see an influencer, expect brainwashing about loyalty to the system as a whole, sometimes disguised as commercial brainwashing. Sellouts are a much broader category.

>>42732448
>nobody got this reference
Sad but perhaps not a bad thing. It's better if this board absorbs as little outside culture as possible.

>>42732225
I knew about Discovery Family issues ($$$$ every Twilight mention)but is the Gameloft part for real? How does a company that's about 80% licensing these days fuck up that bad.

>>42734442
Hasbro's toy department has historically been megaretarded. They've been failing to capitalise on success outside the core demographic and shooting themselves in the foot since the first fucking Transformers movie

>>42730980 (OP)
The final bed...

>>42730989
We are a PR nightmare and they need that Blackrock money.

>>42730980 (OP)
Nah ai will save us all. Its not ready yet but if you hate the idea of good ai and anybody making good content for a drought fandom then you should shut up or kys

>>42731281
Try doing that yourself, every single day, regardless of circumstance, for nearly 15 years. As the main thing you'll always be known for, your main form of self-expression. Always having to sound excited and chipper. About the thing you're supposed to love, but one that doesn't bring joy anymore.

Seth is a fag but you can see why someome in his position would quit if you weren't too lazy to try to mentally put yourself in someone else's shoes.

>>42732245
>Let him put EQD on the hands of newer people and have him quietly retire to a calm life of casual pone
lmfao he'll burn it down or give it to people that will.
You know how many other pony sites had the same thing happen to them?

>>42734818
Okay Seth, as if you don't have a gaggle of faggots under you doing most of the work.

>>42734901
All he had was calpain, and all calpain did was post discussion #348583 and commission fetish artwork of his OC in his high school class room with his dick out and get fired for it.

EQD needs to be sold to some autistic faggot on this board that will do what Seth did back when he gave a shit.

>>42732245
>>42734828
He's previously said that it'll just stay up as an archive as he thinks it's highly unlikely that he'll find anyone suitable enough to take over the site.

>>42735660
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2025/09/addressing-eqd-being-sold-rumors.html
>So, I guess the TL;DR is, no EQD isn't for sale unless someone super passionate that I can trust to keep it going for G6 appears, and that's going to be a super tall order. In the end, I'd rather just let this whole project become an archive than sell it to someone who only wants to monetize it and add it to their portfolio like who has offered so far.

Bump

the day eqd shuts down is the day le fandom is gone for good.

>>42734805
Ai is for niggers.

>>42736628
And that would be a bad thing, right?

>>42735676
>it's le work of passion, but also muh views and hasbro buckarinos, also also I never liked g5
The nervous smiling Somnambula avatar he uses now is too perfect. It's like he knows he's been a bought sham for almost the entire run of g4, and is only now trying to rejoin as a regular fan like us after the money well dried up.

>>42736739
cope and seethe

>>42730980 (OP)
In the over 10 years this Fandom has existed has anyone even come close to drawing the ponies in another style that is as appealing as G4?

>>42737236
Even if you found those, they would be still images, not at all made to be animated. I think that a modern interpretation of G1 could somehow work, but the best solution would be to just ask Lauren Faust to update her designs.

>>42732245
>all of this garbage over him not fellating aislop
You will never reach your vc funding goal.

>>42737355
>update
Just use the existing designs. no update needed.

>>42737488
Anon, I don't think you read that first post correctly.

>>42734396
This but unironically

>>42737488
Using FIM design would be perfect, but realistically, it will never happen (exces need to change it so they then can claim a success of show to them), so I just count on the next best thing.
Maybe Hasbro, in its retardedness, accidentally approves some decent pony designs.
After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

>>42737488
>he hates the fandom because he doesn't support embracing AIslop also I love dicks
No I'm pretty sure I read the post right.

>>42737537
He's saying Seth did the exact opposite and embraced AI.

>G^ in batsy's style

More like Badsy, lmao

>>42737236
No but than again not many have tried, I mean really tired not just a shitty tumblr redesign with tons of details and colors but an entire art-style that could be animated.

>>42737723
I don't adore Batsy's style but that would mean that it's hand-animated 2d which would be a big deal.

>>42732245
nice bait I guess

>>42737841
>implying the one who cheaps out and takes shortcuts on home projects wouldn't cheap out if it was his job

>>42737906
Nothing said it was him on the project, just that it would be his style.

>>42737914
>Artist style but it's not the artist
As soulless as ai

>>42737920
It's happened many-a-time before.

>>42737920
Do you think Lauren Faust drew everything in G4?

>>42737929
That's nice, you're dreaming if you think batslop can't easily be shit out in flash esc programs when it's even more basic and gay than Faust's style. No hand animated official ponies will ever happen in the future

>>42737934
I'll say more than that, Lauren Faust not only drew everything but also animated it and did all the sound effects.

>>42737940
It's theoretically possible to take Batfang's style and turn it into 2d puppet models ala G4 but the compromises necessary to do would make it functionally an entirely different artstyle. He draws the way he does because his limitation is how long it takes for him to draw individual frames, as compared to G4 where the effort was frontloaded in making a bunch of models ahead of actually animating the show.

>>42737934
Lauren was the only person working on G4

>>42737960
What are you talking about nigger? Batslop faces are just circles 90% of the time at 90% of the angles. It's practically calarts in it's laziness, just missing a beanmouth.

>>42737975
You understand that there are assets that go on top of the lazy circle head, right? And in fact bodies are far more of a problem?

>>42737986
>Oh no whatever will we do, we have to make the half-lidded eye shape and triangular half-open mouth

>>42737996
Look man, I'm not saying it's a good style. I already said that up in >>42737841. What I'm saying is that G4 ponies operate on a system where the basic available options are
>facing camera
>facing away from camera
>3/4ths front
>3/4ths back
>profile
Most Batruse art is not sticking to that rigid formula and it would look drastically different if it were to do so. It'd be like the King of the Hill continuation, something would immediately and clearly be wrong.

>>42738009
I think you're grossly overestimating Batslop's capability. Go look at his animations and you'll see plenty of easy-ass angles and FiM's animators had more talent

>>42738066
You seem to be confusing 'G4's artists put in more effort' with 'G4's workflow would work for producing Batfang's art'. The former is undeniably true by a massive degree. The latter is likely false. This isn't praising or condemning anyone involved, it's just that FiM is a different style of production and has its own needs. They would not have been able to make a 26-episode TV show with the budget they had in the style they had if they were hand-animating it. Batfang can hand-animate because he has more time to work on less and there's far lower expectations on him.

Just give it to tamers.

I thought I remembered Sethisto being enthusiastic about G5 around the time the movie released, but now it seems like he never liked it at all. Was he just pretending to like it out of obligation?

>>42730980 (OP)
Is there even any news of a G6?

You all are a bunch if niggers. Batty has the best style in the current fandom with the cutest animations. I bet you faggots are the type that like realistic horse shit like clopician or something

>>42738279
He was on payroll, now he is not on payroll

>>42738279
He's beginning to realize that he's wasted fifteen years of his life obsessing over ponies.

>>42738387
Does Seth even have any interests outside of ponies? It always seemed to me like ponies were pretty much his entire personality.

>>42738491
That is EXACTLY his problem.

>>42730980 (OP)
I recall he tried to get my channels shut down because he didn't like me lol. He tried to get a bunch of people he didn't like or saw as competition terminated. I recall seeing his emails in the leaks, and keked when they put his name on the top of their shit list. Press s to spit.
Hi Seth.

>>42738345

Nope, too chonky horny, but he's still a great artist and the hate he gets is tasteless.

>>42738279
A lot of people outside of the "everything sucks, in fact everything sucks so much I'm going to sit here and think of how I can shrink how much of G4 I think is acceptable to think of as not sucking until it eventually disappears" crowd here had hype and interest in G% until the movie came out, outed itself as being focused on the preschooler demographic, and the proceeding series ended up being exceptionally worse.
