Just leaving this here so everyone understand why Ms. Faust wished to keep it secret for now. |

"I may have been taking for granted that most of the pony fandom is generally nicer than the average googler"
Yeah, she hates us. |

Oh oh oh! I guess this explains why Lauren Faust won't be too involved with the second season... I think.
Nevertheless, best wishes to you two! |

No, no it's not, and don't imply it. implying that WILL harm her career. I think this is good relief though. Faust doesn't hate ALL of us, and she still thinks most of us are really nice folks still. |

Here we go, this is a worthwhile post. |

Anon1: I really don't think she's dumb enough to collectively hate a group of people she doesn't know personally.
It was just a realization for her that in any group of people, there will be assholes or people who don't know what lines shouldn't be crossed. |

Heh, I had an inkling this was the reason :D
I know she won' see it here, and I already made a post on her dA so i'd feel like a stalker if I made another, but my best wishes go out to her for her family, it must be so exciting :D |

^her pregnancy has NOTHING to do with her leaving the show.
The ultrasound pictures are a few weeks old, but she decided to step down a few MONTHS ago. |
| Anonymous #71226 1 year ago |
^ are you dumb or something? it's obvious she knew about the pregnancy before she decided to step down. Ultrasounds come reasonably late during a pregnancy, after all. |
| Anonymous #71230 1 year ago |
ever think that she decided to step down months ago in anticipation of said pregnancy? some people do plan these things in advance to minimize trouble.
I also give my best wishes to them. |

News flash for everypony. If you post something on the internet, it isn't private anymore.
Just sayin'... |

She didn't want people spreading it around though because people will assume that she stepped down from MLP because of the Pregnancy.
But apparently you guys are already thinking that =\ 'cause when a woman makes a tough decision like giving up executive producer for a show, it's automatically means it's because she's in a delicate condition, <i>amirite?</i> tch, men =_= |

Even if it truly didn't effect her decision, it is a valid concern. Studies on twins separated after birth have shown that pre-natal stress can have a serious and long term effect on the child's immune function and brain development, and can lead to life long problems.

Okay, listen.
From the original "I'm stepping down" post, she added: "I just want everyone to understand that my pregnancy is absolutely, positively NOT the reason I'm no longer on the show. It's just a happy side effect that happened after-the-fact." If she says that's not the reason, we have to accept that statement. Furthermore, understand -- there are political issues that always hang around women who get pregnant while working. There's always a specter of sexism around. Some employers already consider women "unreliable employees" because they MIGHT SOMEDAY take a leave of absence to have a child. (This sort of opinion is, of course, held very quietly and not in any official capacity, but it affects hiring and so on.) Women who actually have a child get this at double force. So please: Don't make a big deal out of this. In the best case, you're ignoring the Word of Faust in favor of your own theory; worst case you'd be contributing to a possibly career-damaging story. |

^Agreed, anon.
Incidentally, the whole "omg womenz might get Pregnant in MAH BUSINESS" is exactly the reason why women are *still* getting payed just a smidgen less than men today. (Plus as you said, it affects hiring and whatnot, which is kinda why men are still running most places) Which is still ridiculous imho, because I've seen women return to work after like, what, a week after having a child? Maybe less? I'm not sure if that's even allowed but I've seen it happen at my high school, even if the amount of time may or may not be exactly what I just said. But on-topic, I of course take Ms. Faust's word for it :) |

Wow, way to be a sexist hypocrite. |
| Anonymous #72195 1 year ago |
I don't know, I mean, I hate all of us. It's pretty reasonable considering how creepy all of us are. |
| Anonymous #72199 1 year ago |
Yeah, maybe she's stepping down because she stumbled across this site and now she can't think of ponies the same way anymore. |
| MyLittleJosieph #72203 1 year ago |
I wonder what it will be: A filly or a colt. |
| Anonymous #242999 1 year ago |
Wow, way to try and climb out of the hole you just dug. A man claiming to hate all men is always a cowardly weakling trying to look cool in front of ladies. News flash, they think its pathetic =) |

What a cunt. Fucking pregnant bitch is gonna give birth to an annoying and ugly child. I hate children, babies, and women who get pregnant. I don't mind that she's stepping down, I mind that she's pregnant. Hope she has a miscarrage. |
