What bothers me are that the overly hate spewing individuals likely have their own quirks that others would fear/hate/consider odd yet they act as if they are on some kind of imaginary higher tier where they are what should be the model of normality.tiff said:
I'm of the frame of mind that as long an individuals quirk (for lack of a better term) isn't harmful to anyone I can let it go without bothering me even if I do find it weird or something. I don't see the need to direct such hatred towards individuals based on things that aren't going to cause me any actual problems.

I sure hope so. I saw the video and even though the rep said yes after being asked about DVD and Blu-ray, she only refers to DVD releases. Something about a pony with included DVD and a proper DVD release. I sure hope Blu-ray is in the cards. It would be feasible though, with Blu-rays you've got all the fancy Java coding for possible games, they COULD make it like a Disney Blu-ray with a nice mix of special features for everyone and games for the kids.

Oh I forgot to mention. The article skips this, but the video mentions they they're trying to fix the mistake of bundling random animals with Pinkie and the others and that future sets will have their proper animal friends (Gummy was the one specifically mentioned)
Sweet! Excellent to hear about some sort of DVD/Bluray release. I'm really hoping that it isn't the case like with a lot of kids shows where they release 3-4 episodes per disc. Anyhow, good news for us! And it sounds like we might be getting more merchandise aimed at us as well?DrForester said:

I'd rather not ever hear about Anonymous again after the whole PSN debacle. Ugh. They're annoyingly self-righteous.
Well, if you want my completely unsolicited opinion, I think the furry fetish is pretty weird. But then again, I don't get the hardcore bondage fetish - why do you want to tie someone up and pretend it's not consensual? That's just creepy.
On the grand scale of disturbing fetishes, furries rank pretty low. As long as they're not involving real animals, then I don't see the point of making a fuss. And frankly, it's plain old straight people that are far more inappropriately and offputtingly outspoken about their sexuality.
It's interesting though to see in that thread the sample bias + confirmation bias powerfully at work. To answer the original question though, internet forums are very cliqueish and herd-mentalityish (as evidenced by the spread of memes) and cliqueishness and herd mentality can easily transform into mob behaviour - burn the witch and all that to reinforce similarity and discourage divergence.

The questions was like "will there be blurays and dvd's?"
the answer was "yes, there will be dvd's included with the toys, and dvd's sold separately"
nothing about blurays from what I heard.
I will use this moment to restate

Watch the youtube
one good thing from the video was "oops we never knew pinkie pie had a pet alligator, we're gonna talk to the higher ups to try to make her pet an aligator from now on"
And they interpret "yes we're aware of bronies. we try to ensure our products are for all ages" as "TOYS FOR BRONIES!!!! OGMGMMGMG" which in reality it probably means "yeah we're not changing anything"Owlowiscious said:

Ah, well, I was mainly reacting to the synopsis on the page saying DVD/Bluray was on the way. If that isn't the case that is rather disappointing. Seriously, if they don't release the show on a Bluray format they're missing out on a great opportunity to make money from their adult fans, same with the toys. I can't believe how many times over the months I've heard 'I'd buy such and such if it was of better quality'.Owlowiscious said:
If DVD is the only format to be released I'll reluctantly buy them to support the show, but I'll certainly still be watching the HD versions from my computer hooked to my TV.

DVD only = No sale

As baffling as it is as to why they'd do DVD only instead of Blu-Ray, a lot of kids shows often do this because DVD penetration rates are so much higher. Also there's no shortage of novelty kids tv's with dvd-players built but, but not expensive blu-ray players.
Don't be surprised when it has an AWFUL cover, either.
My show's DVD had a big giant recycling logo (as it was an Earth Day special) behind some five year old clipart, which was a subliminal way of saying "this cover looks like this belongs in the trash".
