If all the pandering they do is add some
hints and nudges it is okay.
But if a whole section is only about
a stupid meme or anything “fanon”
it wouldn’t be the show we love anymore.
In excess pandering is a bad thing, but I don’t think we have anything to worry about. It’s not like the pandering is to an insane amount… save for possibly Derpy. That backfired horribly. :<
I imagine that it would be because the show would cease to be what it was, in a sense. If pandering, the episodes would revolve around silly memes and not be like the episodes we know and love in the first place.
That’s just a guess, though. I’ve only now just heard this claim.
That’s because we are all a bunch of idiots. Therefore the fandom itself is idiotic, and you cant follow an idiot person. Look at what happened with poor derpy.
