This is the one who made the comment you found ‘funny’ and while I’m not offended by it or anything, I’m gonna cut my commentary short and just make a couple quick comments.

I have had no negative opinion of mic prior to his recent behavior I’ve discovered via the EqD livestreams. In fact, I found some of his stuff very amusing.

But just because he makes some funny content for the community does not make him any more deserving of going to Bronycon than say SherclopPones or Raikissu or JJ or choco-pepper or Carnifex or zach morris or…

Look, there are many other ‘community’ members I could name just as equally deserving of the all expenses paid trip to the convention on behalf of their fans. Mic needs to resist the temptation of using his followers as his personal army, HOWEVER his fans are just as responsible as he is for being ignorant and doing something at his whim just because they like his stuff, at least anything greedy, profitable to Mic and/or something that would result in a negative outcome for others.

Now my complaints about Mic aside, there’s also some other behavior that occurred in the EqD bi-weekly livestreams not worth going into, so I’ll be as short as I can on that:

They have shown that they think there is a line between ‘important people’ and ‘regular people’ within the community and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna sit here and act like just because someone is more musically/artistically talented than me makes them a more important figure. That’s the kind of crap that leads to ‘celebrity’ mindsets of behavior and I do not enjoy the thought of people within this community going on a power trip from what level of ‘celebrity’ they are in this community.

Pardon the redundancy, I just don’t know how else to properly explain my discontent with the community as of late. I mean, when all the negative things from this fanbase lately is PURELY coming from the fans (And again, not just ‘little people’ like myself but more well known names), something is seriously wrong.

I had forgotten about that too, thanks for reminding me of that unpleasant imagery as well.

Look, to wrap up, here’s all that needs to be said:

The level of professionalism on the part of MicTheMicrophone and the people looking to put themselves at the forefront of the community is SEVERELY lacking. Just because these people have a couple hundred or thousand ‘fans’ does not put them in charge. I’m not saying we need a democratic election of who ‘represents’ us as a whole, because we are all adults capable of representing ourselves and until these people who ‘want’ to represent us begin acting the same, they don’t need to be speaking or behaving or acting on our behalf.

I have no belief whatsoever that Mic himself is a BAD PERSON, I know PLENTY of people in real life who are complete and total jerks and mic, compared to them, is a saint. He just needs to sit back and collect himself a bit, before he goes nominating himself as ‘leader’ if you will of this subgroup. I want someone funny and intelligent representing us if they ‘must’, but not someone who doesn’t know how to act like an everyday normal human being as well. Reserve the more off the wall/hyperactive kind of stuff for the tumblrs because, you know, that’s where that kind of thing belongs.

And should mic be seeing this, let me be clear that I harbor no hatred towards you, more disappointment than anything else.

Concerning the livestream though? Yeah, the only thing I have to advise is this:

They should strictly make it staff members/well known artists only, you start letting people in because they give you free shit or donate to you and all you do piss off people like me (And I assume others here) and make us feel worthless, just because we don’t have cash to throw your way or a piece of artwork. Either you let ‘everyone’ in or ‘no one’ in. Don’t have selective standards, cause that’s bullshit.
