Mostly cause I thought it was going to take a bit to load, so I went back to a youtube video, and 2 seconds later it starts up. For whatever reason, it was ridiculously loud and I fell out of my chair.TheDarkEricDraven said:

I'm not doing a very good job of treading lightly, I'm sure, but please understand that the following is simply my immediate reaction to reading the OP, and that if you take offense, it isn't intended.snowfi6916 said:
I'm willing to bet that you don't despise Fox News any more than I do. I watch it for three reasons: a good laugh (not to cry), to check in on what's going on at the opposite end of the spectrum, and because if I'm going to continue talking shit about somebody I'm going to make sure I actually know what I'm talking about. With that in mind, why do so many on here act as if Fox is persecuting them? Fox spends a fair amount of time scapegoating video games, to be sure, but not nearly as much time as they spend cranking up the outrage machine over gay marriage, foreign countries, liberal politicians, unwed mothers and every person Obama shakes hands with. It would appear the great majority of us agree that they're a bunch of stuffy gasbags and opportunistic ideologues, and as such, they're going to have all of the same stereotypical targets as any fringe conservative outlet. But it bothers me to hear someone say that Fox news will "ruin" a show that you love. If Fox, the 700 Club and Focus on the Family can't take down Family Guy, I'm pretty sure a stray segment here and there when they're momentarily tired of picking on gay people isn't going to get the show cancelled, or boycotted, or altered in any way. So why the melodrama? Why "Fox is going to ruin the show for everyone?" Does this not sound immature and whiny and completely unrealistic when you read it? Again, I'm not saying this to insult you - I genuinely want to know? And from your wording, it would seem that bronies aren't even yet on Fox News' radar.
But, and I want all of you bronies out there to pay attention: if Fox News spends any substantial amount of time freaking out over this phenomenon, especially if they try to insinuate a link between pedophilia and bronies, I want you to notify me, with links,. I will then change my avatar to a Pony for the rest of the year. And y'all will have to show me how to use GIF instead of JPEG so I can get a really flamboyant, hyperactive, girly pony in protest of those male-centric, homophobic, sexist, racist, xenophobic douchenozzles. 'Cos really, fuck Fox.
Can you say "Fuck Fox" on the Escapist?
I just caught on to this Pony thing. *hangs head in shame* I know, I'm an internet failure.
But I think I get it...
Fox, shut up. God help anyone who takes you seriously.

Yeah I'm kinda pissed about it too, course I can't talk much, my dad has shunned me for even speaking the words My Little Pony, let alone admitting to being a bronie
Yes, of course, because everyone is a hipster, everything is a fad and NOBODY LEGITIMATELY LIKES EVERYTHING! OH DEAR GODCrazyJuan77 said:
Seriously, if you don't know what you're talking about then you really oughta just say nothing, because you're bound to make a fool of yourself.
I'm a fan of the show mostly because of Lauren Faust (and the dev/acting crew's) past experience. MLP feels a lot like the old cartoons of the mid to late 90's, all the stuff that I watched as a kid and loved. Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack...where did those go? I guess I watch it out of nostalgia.
MLP has great voice acting, intelligent humor with a bit of cartoon physics, and it's not dumbed down for younger kids. A younger child can enjoy the pretty colors and older kids laugh at the humor. And the characters are designed so we can relate to them for their personalities, not simply for being ponies.
The teams on design and acting are pulled from everywhere. For example, some of the animators' past experience has been on South Park and most of the voice actors have done quality work for much darker projects, such as the anime Black Lagoon. /rant
I'm a 19 year old college student studying game design and I've become an MLP fanatic. The last two additions to my YouTube channel can attest to that.

Hehe thank you I wish I could say I made it.enzilewulf said:
I think I'm going to watch some episodes of MLP, anyone know a good way of doing that besides torrents?
Mate let me save you from suspension. Delete the word that refers to getting things off the internet for free (it starts with a T). I got nailed this a while back and was suspended.Rockchimp69 said:
I sincerely doubt that they are even aware a site called The Escapist exists. =p You're giving'em too much credit.
Agreed, I phrased that abit bluntly. I think this whole agrument is abit dumb and your a hundred percent right, except that MLP is bad of course.CrazyJuan77 said:lol take that up with him. It wasn't my notion that anyone liking it for any reason made it less of a fad. Honestly I reject the notion that why its popular has anything to do with it being a fad. The simple fact is that this is the shiny thing that nabbed the interwebs brief attention and it will pass just like all that came before. Some of us look forward to it.PunkRex said:CrazyJuan77 said:
FALSE: Because watching something due to the fact that everyone else is is not liking it. That is peer pressure or the need to be accepted, neither of these things are very pony. Any REAL Brony will tell you this.

A fan base never really dissapears, we just go quiet until new work is put out or someone is foolish enough to adress our obsession. As long as they are making MLP, people are hating MLP, or someone is adding to the MLP community then you will here from bronies.
Also, I want my Samurai Jack movie!

THIIIIIIIIIIS, I REQUIRE IT!!!
Honestly, the day SJ got canceled was the day I lost a little bit of faith in humanity.
1. It's a local Fox News affiliate in St. Louis, who cares?
2. Some of the louder guys do take things a little too far. You take what Hasbro and co worked hard to create and you put your little creepy spin on it, essentially raping it and then saying 'I LOVE YOU!!'. It's like you're banging a bootleg MLP plushie, just raping the shit out of it. And who the hell sincerely talks about where to get bootleg MLP merchandise? It's fake and shitty why the hell would you buy that?
