Well, to quote Lauren Faust (the show's creator) when someone asked her "May I ask how it feels to know that a show you've created for little girls is obsessed over by sexually repressed manchildren? It is kind of scary." on a forum.
Faust: "Honestly? I feel that people who call them that are ignorant a-holes. That's how I feel. I didn't create this show for little girls, I created it for little girls and their parents- including male parents. It only stands to reason that adult animation fans without children may like it, too. The belief that boys shouldn't be interested in girl things is the main reason there's hardly anything decent for girls in animation- or almost any media, for that matter. It's a backwards, sexist, outdated attitude."
I've watched a couple episodes of it, it's pretty good, it treats the audience more intelligently then a lot of other shows for kids (I've sensed commentary on homosexuals, religious views, and consumerism in just a few episodes). Somewhat reminds me of Batman: The Animated Series in that way. Also, the youtube comments about the episodes are hilarious, nothing like seeing guys debating over whether the ponies practice eugenics or segregation because winged ponies only marry winged ponies and land ponies only marry land ponies.
Real men watch My Little Ponies then debate about the social commentary present within it.

If your roommate takes any kind of drugs I guarantee you'll be able to get him to watch it with you. Hell, if he's drunk it might be enough.Z of the Na said:No.TheYellowCellPhone said:Have you actually seen the show?
Simple yes or no question.
If not,
-Pony Snip-
I have not seen the show. I am a 20 year old man living at college sharing my dorm room with another 20 year old man. Do you have any idea what that would look like were I to start watching...that?
...wait a minute.
I see what you are trying to do. This is another attempt to get me to join this cult isn't it?
YOU WILL NOT TAKE ME, FOUL DEMON!!
