It's really kind of sad to see the fandoms I've participated in over the years degrade into toxic "muh genders muh racisms" things.

It's even more sad to realize that the people that welcome this type of behavior don't seem to realize these people aren't here to participate in the fandom, but to make it more acceptable to their values.

Once the people like me, who are there because we liked the concepts of the genre, have left, it will be nothing but these people who are there to change it into their idea of life. When it's fully converted, they will leave and the whole thing will fade into memory with only a handful of founders and die-hards to wonder what happened to the crowds that used to attend.

Some of us were here for the spaceships and explosions. The minute you started sticking your dick, or lack thereof, into it, it's something different and best of luck to you.

I only remember the two iterations. Did they try and bring it back more often?

I have to take your word on the toy stuff. The only piece of merchandise i ever bought that wasn't a book was the handheld electronic Battlestar Galactica game from back in 79. https://pic8.co/sh/L6HYx0.jpg

I remember reading about gen 3.5 and gen 4, so likely they did. Some are apparently only on VCR.

I quit bothering with television in the early 90s, so the only way I knew about the current shite was when it started to invade the little bit of sci-fi I followed, and when my youngest niece got into Equestria Girls.

Wouldn't surprise me that Hasboner tried to re-capitalize on that. I have no idea what made the current version so popular, it just was there and then I had someone who was pissed that I wasn't following it and was going to "lecture me on the importance of pony." That was about 5 minutes before I said well...no thank you and removed the person from my contact lists.

It was 4chan and its hoard of autists
