I think you missed the point of the article there though the sensationalized headline didn't help things. They theorize Disney doesn't want a significant adult fanbase of its Tron show because of the negative stereotype adult fans of childrens' shows have in some media corporate cultures. Bronies were used as a reference point as the most obvious and popular example right now, not anything remotely related to causation. The point of the article is what made me go WTF though. The idea that an "adult fanbase" is still a creepy and undesirable thing to these people. Especially Disney, whose founder even said that you are dead if you just aim for kids. It's sad, but true. Like Malcolm said above, it's been Cartoon Network's MO for what feels like a decade. A lot of their cartoons that found an adult fanbase outside of the target demographic, or don't air on Adult Swim, end up being cancelled. Nevermind that a lot of the adults who watch these cartoons are parents who like the shows as much as their kids. We can't have parents bonding with their children over a mutual interest! I think we should count ourselves pretty fortunate that Hasbro and Media DHX have, in spite of some incidents, embraced the adult fans of the show. Though I was mainly addressing FSin there who seemed to think the article/Disney was blaming MLP and bronies instead of just using it as an example. Probably should've used a quote tag.

This article made me think that despite all the BS Hasbro has given us, they seem to be more bearable than what the show might have become if Disney etc. was in charge.

Well, you should given more than 7 thumbs up on those cupcakes, Sweetie. Ponies change, EoE. Her palate has grown more sophisticated.

BTW since some of you discussed it earlier: What is the name of the series that featured Multi-Man, Coil Man and Liquid Man? I remember seeing an episode of that while on holiday in Italy on Cartoon Network.

Thanks.
I thought it was a title along these lines but I thought it was more Incredibles or Unbelievables.

Flitterheart. A Fluttershy clone, much like Ploomette.

I see Hasbro has taken FCW's Randy Orton cloning machine and reprogrammed it into a Fluttershy cloning machine.

Will she be the TV star to Ploomette's writing career?
