Edit: no I'm not a brony, yes someone actually said this. https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/3cqnrq/a_brony_threatens_hasbro_and_tries/
Hasbro just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Brony culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in the Steven Universe fandom where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in the Brony fandom, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the brony public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to watch MLP for either season, nor will they buy any of Hasbro's toys. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Hasbro has alienated an entire market with this move.
Hasbro, publicly apologize and air season 6 this year or you can kiss your business goodbye.
