    8:33 is actually a piece I commissioned of my Ponysona omg! I bought two art pieces from her and actually found her through Dark Skyes. She was completely uninvolved with the sinister behind the scenes action of the campaign and was eventually harassed offline by Million Dollar Extreme. I found out all about it and felt so bad for her. She really was a wonderful artist. Had to pause the video because I was so shocked to see my ponysona pop up in this! I actually was involved with a few of these people as the drama unfolded, including the man NOT known as "Virgo," who I actually talked to directly. I was one of the first people he showed his proof to. What a crazy time to be alive. Everyone involved innocently with the project was sad to learn the truth behind it. "Virgo" got added to the page in the first place because the creator tried to harass him as well, btw--blaming him for the secret leaking out that it was actually a bullshit scam to swindle innocent people who just wanted a fun cute pony game to play.
    My ponysona is named Eterna Love btw, though Arlece is her original placeholder name before I came up with a good pony-sounding name.
    Just wanted to throw this information out there; I remembered this whole fiasco vividly which is why I clicked. I can't believe I got accidentally featured xD

    So there's actually a little bit more to the story:
    On /mlp/, people had become so convinced that it was Sam Hyde that they started emailing everyone and posting about it everywhere they could. Eventually, Sam got frustrated enough that he posted an unlisted video on the board where he practically begged the posters to stop alerting people. His plan was apparently to release the game, but it would have a fraction of the content and would explicitly make fun of people that had bought or invested in it. It was supremely pathetic to watch.

    Lemme say, as someone who was a young girl when this gen came out, it was a nightmare (no pun intended) trying to avoid the "mature" side of the fandom. Like I remember following a comic artist who made MLP fandom/show based comics and they made one with the Lyra plushie, where the joke was it could be used as slippers. I had no idea what it actually was until i looked it up.... 🤢💀
    Edit: I'm not blaming the comic artist here, since they could not control who saw their work, but it is an example of how easy it was to accidentally find NSFW content within the fandom.

    I never realized Sam was like this. All I ever knew him for was that clip of him screaming about "fucking potatoes with butter"

    You should do a make-up tutorial or a what's in my closet. You're a style icon tbh. So happy 😊 I found your channel! ✨

    Brilliant move of the creators to include video footage of the voice actors performing their lines, so it would be impossible for any of them them to ever deny their involvement in this embarrassment. Maybe this was all just an elaborate plot to create blackmail material?

    THE KICKSTARTER TRAILER HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK. I watched that awful thing YEARS back as a kid and thought it was weird as hell but hoped people would have fun with it once it was finished. It completely left my mind after.

    Being that I’ve been in the brony fandom since I was a 9 year old girl in Jan 2011, I am SO shocked to just now be hearing about this. I love your videos and have been watching several and new commentary on bizarre Brony happenings would fit well with your other content so I’m glad you made some! And I learned something I never knew
