Fighting is Magic

I'm not a "bronie". I just like shows that are good. And it's a good show.
It's possible to like something without being part of a "fandom".

Some people don't seem to understand the concept of a "parody".
We should set up camps for these people, ringed with barbed wire and overseen by heavily-armed guards, to protect them from seeing things that would upset their delicate sensibilities.

Apparently Camp Crystal Lake is available this year.
No barbed wire nor guards... but I think that won't be an issue.

da Doctah kind of mentioned part of my point already, but I feel the need to be a bit more explicit sometimes - especially since it's not entirely clear he was thinking from a legal perspective.

I believe a creator of a work should control the distribution of that work. That belief happens to correspond with law in most of the world.
To an extent. You may be interested in some of copyright law's 'fair use' clauses - at least, copyright law as it apparently exists in most of the world.
In this case, it sounds like the Fighting is Magic people *could* have made use of one of them. Specifically, parody.
*If* the game was as bad as you say, they could sell it and be on perfectly firm - albeit covered in a couple feet of swamp water - ground. However, it's apparently not, based on the later comments. As such, if they want to sell it, they either need to sell it to Hasbro for a song, sell it through Hasbro, or find someone who has publishing rights separate from Hasbro, if such a person even exists.

Because the show isn't about best friends wailing on each other for no reason. I thought I made that clear.
Please note that sometimes people fight for sport, despite the fact that they're good friends. Admittedly, it's generally called 'sparring', but 'Sparring is Magic' just doesn't have the same ring to it. That having been said, I've also known several individuals who weren't interested in sparring, in the sense that they didn't want to hold back to avoid injuring their friend, nor did they want their friend to hold back to avoid injuring them. Note that these particular individuals were not interested in fighting with friends unless they had a strong indication their friend actually knew how to fight - just being imposing and moving with the grace of a master was not enough.
