The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Were all racists?

Far as I can tell pandering is apparently the new blanket “BRONIES R TURRABIBBLE” thing. At least it’s better than saying we’re all racists.

I think it depends on how far the  
creators go.
 
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.

“Whats pandering? Is it petting a panda?”

“pandering to the public” means to  
adjust your product to the liking  
of the audience.

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.
