The new trailer for the Sonic movie has been released! What an improvement from the disaster they made before! This actually LOOKS like Sonic! Definitely seeing this on Valentine's day!

Hey everyone, I normally don't do these kinds of journals, but after what I had to deal with this past weekend, I feel like I have no choice but to do this. For the last few years, I've had to deal with a troll on the highest level I have ever known. I mean, this person has harassed me constantly on here, as well as other social media outlets. I've blocked this person on all of my pages, and the numerous accounts that this person has made for the purpose to continue the harassment here on deviantART. To those who comment on these journal entries, I'm not referring to you, I appreciate your comments. There's one of two directions this can go, either you will see someone come on here giving an encyclopedia rant about why they believe its justified to harass me. This will stem from criticizing me for my lack knowledge of the situation that I have no awareness to, and considering that this pattern has now been going on for over three years, they're more than likely going to get another account ready so they can continue this sad cycle. The other direction this can go is that they won't say anything, because they know that they are being called out as they are reading this right now. If it's not me, it's with another artist I refer to as my friend, and a lot of this stems back to a contest that was done on the MordeTwi group a long time ago.

The contest that was done was pretty much a reflection on the flaws of the Mane 6 on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. As a brony, I, as well as a majority of the brony fandom, are aware of the flaws the Mane 6 have, and we love them for those flaws. However, there are some that don't acknowledge the flaws, believing that they are perfect and the word "flaw" would be a blasphemous statement. Some of the questions in the contest sounded bad, I won't lie about that, but with how some of the characters have gone in a different direction in a mentioned episode, there's no real way of sugarcoating the behaviors that were shown. Other people have made the reviews talking about those moments, and PLENTY of others (I witnessed the implosion when Twilight became an Alicorn, the implication of Flurry Heart being conceived, the bashing of Starlight Glimmer being a Mary Sue and that she didn't deserve a second chance), but my friend was the only one that has gotten flamed for it. I took part in the contest, because I actually see the flaws in the characters in the mentioned episodes, but despite that, I never stopped liking the show.

This person took the whole contest thing personally, and has attack me and my friend for it, especially me, because he has the deranged mindset that I will argue with my friend over the troll's opinion. Over the years with the shows run, I learned that opinions are something that everyone has, there was an episode of MLP that actually refers to that when Rainbow Dash didn't like that another pony had criticized Daring Doo's books for being too predictable and not as good as the earlier books. Daring Doo didn't give a crap about the criticizer's opinion, and in my case, I didn't care what the argument between my friend and the troll meant. Everyone has said over the years that the brony fandom was a dying fandom, but to me, as long as there's love among the fans, the brony fandom will be around for a long time, even with the show's end.

After the troll realized that I wasn't going to take part in their little game, the harassment's began. They ranged from calling me a lackey to my friend, criticized my likes with cartoons like "Ed, Edd n Eddy", my admiration of Sonic, anything that is known of me, they will criticize it and try to make me feel smaller than them. I'm not ashamed of the things I like, I have always enjoyed Ed, Edd n Eddy compared to other Cartoon Cartoons, not saying that I hated the other shows, the Ed's were always the favorite among them, I grew up playing the Sonic games, I have as much right to having an attachment to him, as Nintendo fans have that same attachment to Mario. If anything, I feel very sorry for this loser that has gone all these years of doing this, it's the saddest form of living to follow a person and ridicule them on multiple social media outlets for this long for very petty reasons. Sorry for dumping all of this on you guys, after what I had been through this past weekend, I couldn't just let this one slide. Overall, thank you for listening to me vent, and to those who appreciate what I do on here, I thank you greatly for liking what I have uploaded on here, your notifications are all that matter to me. I'll leave this up for a short while and delete it in good time.
