You’re absolutely right @Foxhoarder, without Hugbox tying it all together. Everything just falls apart and people get bored and leave.

A good example of “darkness-induced audience apathy” of a fandom, would be r/imsorryjon (A Garfield horror based sub).

It’s premise is Garfield either being a monster or turning into monster, that terrorizes/eats/mentally breaks Jon & Odie. It becomes quite repetitive after awhile, so artists and writers have to go really big with the shock/gore/depression/horror to even get noticed and stand out or the artists & writers have to wait till the weekend (as per the sub’s rule when outside Garfield content is allowed) to explore other shows, show off their oc, etc.There’s really not much else to balance out that sub.

Boring, but acceptable as long as you don’t demand justice abuse from abuse box or sadbox

@truthtellergilead
I know you deleted your post, but I just want to point out one thing. I can’t think of fluffy OCs as being indistinguishable from MLP OCs because a lot about fluffy ponies, in design and the ideas developed in the canon, have diverged from base MLP. Heck, I had written an entire essay about this.

GingerFig was obsessed with hating Fluffy Ponies to the point I think he was insane, and was one of the reasons I hate abuse, because if you replaced “fluffy” with an actual ethnic group in one of his rants, he would sound like a certain Austrian. That’s why I didn’t join the booru because I thought the booru was full of edgelords that would make a bunch of therapists rich due to all the fucked up images that they were created. I mean, this place still has it’s edgelords unfortunately, but I just wish that the abuser would have Karma happening to them, which hardly does

A fluffy is just a fluffy it is not a stand in for any thing, the whole a fluffy is a metaphor is a new trend

I know that, but people mostly frown on the Fluffy Pony subfandom of My Little Pony because of the abuse images, and after all, everyone has the Fluffy Pony act and talk like children and there is always going to be a parental instinct in people who would get angry at seeing a cute animal with the intelligence of a child being brutally tortured/murdered that would make the abuser drawing the abuse be seen as the next Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer

it was almost 10 years ago. the only traces of mlp left are higher prices on show accurate fluffies and the name “hasbio”. that is not enough to consider fluffies as mlp subfandom

yeah, probably by association :hmm:
I mean why post them if the only relation to the show is two pieces of optional headcanon?
