Ok guys, I know most of you don’t like reading, but please do. ThIs is kind this kind of serious.

Hasbro sent a Cease and Desist letter to Fighting is Magic, a fan NON-PROFIT project that I’m sure a lot of you know about. If you don’t, just google it up.

Point is this. I feel the guys at Hasbro are acting quite like jerks in these last months. First they censore Derpy, then put an Alicorn Twilight in the show just to promote and sell a stupid toy, creating panic all around the fandom (I don’t have anything against Alicorn Twilight, but still). And now they make desist total fan-non-profit-projects.

This, from my point of view, it’s unacceptable.
They are not realizing that they are slowly destroying the fandom by only caring about their own image and interest. They still don’t realize they’re making the success they’re making because of Bronies.

There’s not really much we can do but just signing this little thing here to officialize our given support:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/526/847/063/allow-the-continuation-of-the-development-of-mane6s-mlp-fighting-is-magic/

There’s nothing to pay, you just need to send your signature.
The goal is 100.000 signatures. If you all (my followers) sign it too, we’ll reach a good amount of 19400. It’s not much, but it’s still something.

Reblog this post to help them reach the amount of signature they need to try to make Hasbro open their eyes. That’s the least we can do for a cool project like the one we are risking to lose.

Yours truly,
Jan.

Cease and Desist letters for non-profit fan creations are actually kinda normal. Anyone heard of “Chrono Resurrection”? It was a 3D fan-game based on Chrono Trigger. It was being made long after SNES and PSX release of the game, DS wasn’t even out by then. Square sent them one.

I doubt this petition will change anything.
