For me, there is a huge difference between threats and binding legal force. If you think its possible for ten people to sue Hasbro over the meaning of Derpy and win, I think that is ridiculous, but that's your business, just like thinking its ridiculous is mine. But I do think your position gives Hasbro too much deniability of responsibility. Without binding legal force (lack of lawsuit in public record proves any legal threats were 100% only THREATS and not binding or successul lawsuits) and without physical force (putting a gun to somebody's head) then any changes Hasbro or anybody made were voluntary on their part. You can use the excuse if you develop anorexia that your friends told you that you were fat. Well, as long as they didn't stick their fingers in your throat and make you anorexic, YOU are responsible, they just influenced you.
