This comic was scripted and commissioned by me and drawn by 
labba94 Big thanks to him for his excellent work.
The texts in the yellow boxes come from the song “Drive Home” by Steven Wilson, which you can listen here: http://www.deviantart.com/users/out.....?v=ycYewhiaVBk
Gentlemen, this is it. The Season 5 finale of MLP was the very last nail in the coffin of the brony side of me. Dear screenwriters, you REALLY shouldn’t have done this! I didn't want Starlight to be redeemed as well and join the Mane 6's bullshit! Hell, she was the ONLY character in the whole damn series I still liked because of her ideas which I think would indeed make the perfect utopia and now, instead of fighting for her ideals until the end... she surrendered! And that also show how BAD the writers have gotten, how come they're so afraid of having VILLAINS? One by one they're taking them all away in the lamest possible ways! Besides these are DANGEROUS messages to give to a younger audience, out there there are horrible people who will NEVER turn good thanks to this "magic of friendship" bullshit!!!
Honestly, I was like this when I found out that Starlight was reformed too: http://www.deviantart.com/users/out.....?v=a5R_pS0h5Qk
And before you tell me “but this is a show about friendship and how everyone has a good side” blah blah blah… do you think the leader of the ISIS has a good side? Or how about these people: http://www.deviantart.com/users/out.....trovsk_maniacs Seriously, you're not educating little girls by doing this, you're making them STUPIDER!!!
Anyway, the pony in the comic is my ponysona Silent Moon, and the whole thing is a metaphor (which I won’t analyze too much in depth so you can still interpret the comic as you want, at least in part) of how my feelings of disillusionment and alienation towards MLP and its fandom have reached their highest peak after Starlight’s conversion, how MLP is now truly dead to me and how sure I am this time that I left the brony fandom for good. I still have some brony friends who don’t want to abandon, I’ll still talk to them and follow their works (even because I still like what they do), but from now on I have certainly abandoned the herd forever. Goodbye everyone. I'm gonna drive home and catch up with the human world.

That's not an excuse either! And I'm not saying it should be "the most deep thing ever", I'm just saying it should have acceptable messages since it's such an aesop driven show! Plus, it may be a "kids show" but there are still THINKING HUMAN BEINGS behind it who transmit a message to an audience of other THINKING HUMAN BEINGS! Because even children think, and if you give them bullshit messages you make them stupid!
There might be some good news for you: Seasons 8 and 9 showed that childhood innocence doesn’t apply to everyone. Season 9 ends with at least three villains who show no sign they can possibly reform.
What I hated the most about Season 5 was these two things: Acting as if sabotaging the weather factory were no big deal (classic protagonist-centered morality). And then having that episode where Spike was set up to fail miserably (even if he had never abused his position, I get the impression he still would have failed). At least the next season finally made Spike a full ambassador of friendship. And later on, it’s apparent Rainbow has learned the lesson of accountability she should have learned in Season 5 — since she and Daring Do learn that heroes must be careful about the collateral damage they cause.

I had written off the series from the very first season. At first, the show seemed terribly hypocritical about the message of friendship. Too much comic mischief got a free pass — and there were some racialist message about foreign creatures. Finally, I felt that boys were second-class friends at best.
I believe all of this gradually became much less of a problem from Season 3 forward.
When I found the courage to watch the movie, I found it to be one of the most positive and inspirational movies since the 1980s. Then I learned about the Student Six. A much better inclusion of boys and of other creatures inspired me to give the show another chance. I’m glad I watched the later seasons first. It allowed me to love characters I couldn’t have loved before.
By the way, your avatar certainly doesn’t convey a message of friendship. If you want people to think ill of you, then that’s a good way to go about it.
As for me, I always welcome a reform of a villain — as long as it seems they really do want to learn how friendship works. As a Christian, I do not think the best of people. Nor do I automatically think the worst. Keep in mind that cynical feelings may be as easily exploited as idealistic feelings. People tend to have more trust in those who say what they want to hear.
