And while it had a few funny jokes, I mostly found the characters to be annoying, and the plot lines to be stupid, cliche, and predictable. So I gave up on it.
It certainly isn't for everyone, but I'm wondering about your statement on plot lines. Compared to an actual little girl's show, I thought the plot lines diverted pretty far from the norm. Most shows for girls tend to do the "someone is upset, let's all hug out our differences" bullshit, while MLP actually uses advice, advice good for people of all ages. Even for the major villians, most shows for girls tend to use the "use happiness and the bad guy won't hurt you" crap while MLP encourages actually talking shit out.

Cliche, sure, but it's almost like a parody more than a cliche with how often MLP totally switches the direction the episode appeared to be going in.

I'm not disagreeing with you objectively, I'm just wondering what your thoughts on it are, if you remember enough about the plots and want to discuss it.
"Compared to an actual little girl's show"

That is the statement that jumps out at me. If you say that you don't think it's that grate of a show people say "It's for kids." And If you say it's for kids. You get attacked on all sides for saying it's for kids. Look I find it to be a fine show for kids, but I don't think it's a good show if you are over the age of 12. Look I think it fine for what it is but I don't think it's anything more then what it is.

Good sir, I do believe that you are incorrect and that the best pony is clearly Pinkie Pie.

My first sighting was when Scott Ramsoomair (VG Cats) recommended the show. I didn't think much of it, but it sorta stuck in my mind.

After increasing mentions of the herd I watched the first episode with an attitude of "FINE I'LL WATCH IT."
At the end of the first episode, the second one in the related videos caught my eye. "...Well, shit."

Over the next month I watched the full first season, just a couple weeks ahead of season 2. And ponies have run through my veins ever since.

And so, another is lost to the herd...

Soon, it seems, only me and Fappy will remain.

We won't be able to repopulate, but we will try regardless.
It's ok Daystar they haven't gotten me yet. Hell I'm at college but I will remain strong! :p

I always find it weird when they decide to hold something with their hooves when they could just levitate everything. I'm sorry, that's all my cynical mind could focus on. I obviously haven't been exposed to enough love and tolerance just yet.

-starts next episode-

EDIT: I've made a terrible mistake in the art of keeping up with canon...

So you're saying Pinkie doesn't break reality as easily as breathing? That's really all I'm saying, there o_O

Ah, ponies. One of my many, many vices.

I remember how I first heard about the show. It was through these very forums. I entered a pony thread, thinking it was about the old show. I soon realized that it was about a NEW My Little Pony. I got curious, and I watched the first episode.

I'll admit, for the first 5 minutes or so, all I could think was "This is probably the gayest thing I could be doing with my time right now". My finger hovered over the close button... but then this happened:


And I was like "...okay, I guess I'll tough it out". I finished the first episode, and thought "well, that wasn't so bad. Better than I expected, but I think I'm done". I had ponies on the brain all the next day, so I went back and watched the second episode. Then the third. And I think you can guess where it went from there.

Ponies are awesome. It is scientific fact. They did a Death Battle that proved it:

Oh, I'm not disputing that, but your (misplaced?) colon made your sentence read as if your nonplussed answer to the best pony conundrum was Pinkie Pie.
When, in fact, Pinkamena is best Pie.

Call me late to the party, but I saw yesterday that every episode of Mlp:FiM was uploaded commercial free to YouTube, so I decided to open up my personal Pandora's box and watch the first few episodes. Little did I know that I had gone too deep, and now I'm have to watch the next episode regardless of any feelings towards doing so. It seems that I've become a brony overnight, and I'm scared now. (hold me)

So, Escapists, describe how you got hooked on the world of ponydom. How did you watch it, when did you watch it, and why.

btw Twilight Sparkle is by far the best pony. Deal with it.
This is my exact story as well. Except I could clearly see that Fluttershy is the best pony

Tried it, was bored, stopped. The animation is nice and the art style is cute, but that's not enough to make me care. The fandom is horrifying, and all the memes are obnoxious. Getting tired of seeing ponies everywhere I go. I can't even play MMOs without seeing people talking about ponies. Also tired of getting death threats for not liking the show.

Well, the only two that could do that in the picture are Rarity and Twilight due to them being the only magic users. /gnarf
Again, only 3 episodes in. Also, those episodes were watched at 1 AM, so I must've not appreciated the fine details.
