But if you told me that chet was an official character if either think hasbro’s writers for mlp have lost their damn mind, aren’t trying anymore, or your lying to me.

    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.

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.... 🤢💀

    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.
