OT: Yeah. It's easy to get ponied out but thankfully the internet has a lot more to offer.

I won't question that but don't you think you pander to them a bit too much? I realize you do it to gain respect from the people who make up the majority of the Escapist (i.e. PC gamers, TF2 fans, Anime fans, etc) but I feel everything should be seen as objectively as possible. Not saying its a bad idea though, The Escapist seems to get better and better every week and I would not want that to stop.Susan Arendt said:The Escapist was into ponies before ponies were cool.

It's because it was taken under the wing of Lauren Faust, who's really good at making cartoons that also adults can watch. She completely remade the show, and only kept the ponies. The stories are very much different, it has great comedic timing, fleshed out and interesting characters, and so on. Everything that makes a show good. I mean, there's even jokes about spiking drinks. Jokes that only adults can get.Rawne1980 said:I've said it before and i'll say it again (purely because I have nothing to do for another 20 minutes my wife is watching soaps so i'm avoiding the living room .... they drive me nuts), I don't understand where the ponies came from this time round.
Seriously, those ponies started when I was 3, to put into perspective that was 1983, 28 years ago. Around 1993 they died a horrible, painful, stuttering death.
Granted they were still hovering around in limbo but they were too scared to show their faces.
All of a sudden they have shot out of nowhere, no one saw it coming.
I have a friend who watches them with his daughter (or so he says). Now remember that My Little Pony was aimed at young women and children when Hasbro launched them and to this day they haven't changed.
Now i'm not saying grown men are girly for watching it at all, i've watched cartoons recently myself albeit not the ponies. I haven't watched it myself but i've never known something so old thats relaunched and taken off so quickly.
What's to be objective about? Like I said, we've had a pony running gag since long before MLP came about.Coldster said:I won't question that but don't you think you pander to them a bit too much?

Here you go, maybe this will clear some things up:NotAPie said:Anyone care to explain the pony thing to me? I'm still very confused.
Oh hey,I remember you.Pinkamena said:It's more of a meme, you need to realize that. It's an interest, not just a joke. And when people take an interest in something, you can be damn sure they're gonna talk about it, hence all the pony stuff on the internet.
Also, I feel this picture is fitting (although you're probably not mad):
But then again,I probably should see this stuff coming more often then I actually do.Alphakirby said:So,is there anything on the internet that people are seeing just a bit too much.
Someone is butthuuuuuuurt~~MianusIzBleeding said:...Its a fucking girls show
Even the avatars are enough to piss me off now
That's what the ponies do to your threads. Once you let them in, they just don't go away.Alphakirby said:
Why isn't anyone paying attention to the ACTUAL topic I.E. Things you see on the internet too much.
Metal, huh?Simeon Ivanov said:Edit: Nyan Cat ... I couldn't listen to more than 10 seconds of it before I had to wash my ears with some metal.
