Why Little Pony?

Here's an image I made in MS Paint on the subject:

See that odd thing hanging in the top left corner of the site? That's a search bar. You'll be waist-deep in My Little Pony threads if you search for it. Read the answers there.

Yes. Please, no more. Didn't they have to severely limit the number of pony threads on certain boards just because it gets this bad?

Keep in mind these threads are getting just as annoying to us bronies as it is to them! XD People who don't use the search bar are menaces to all forums boards in all topics!

I like it. If you like it, good for you. If you don't, don't start trolling others who do. If people start trolling, remember that they really have no authority over you whatsoever and you shouldn't really care.

Good luck, and welcome to the internet.

Despite what other people might try to tell you, liking My Little Pony does not make you less of a dude. It has great writing, great animation, and excellent character. And it makes me happy. Do you need another reason than that?

As soon as you press play, you lose your mancard.

Troll elsewhere, please.

Are you fucking kidding me? Can I not express my opinion. What is not girly about a show based off pastel colored ponies? They even have toys. C'mon bro. At least admit its girly. Not to mention immature.

If you instantly shun anything that could be considered "girly" or "feminine", you're just unnecessarily putting yourself in gender boxes and restricting your human experience.

I mean, if you've watched the show and you don't like it because of writing or whatever, fine. But if you instantly shrug it off because it's too "girly", that's just a slap in the face to anyone who accepts traditional femininity as their way of life.

Y'know what, i'm not gonna give the copy paste answer where I tell you to watch it yourself.

It's the goddamn greatest thing since sliced bread. You like animation? Well Friendship is Magic invented animation, you're welcome. Ponies cure cancer and split the atom, Rainbow Dash is 20% cooler than Jesus piloting Voltron, there is no God there is Princess Celestia, Fluttershy is the reason the word kawii exists, if you watch it it'll cure your AIDS as well as bring your dead goldfish back to life, and friendship is mother fuckin' magic.

99% of these threads are made asking the same question, Pony fans are sick of them too.

Your stick-figure's nostrils are quite far apart.

It takes more guts to say you love My Little Pony than say you hate it.

I was skeptical of the show at first but I gave it a chance and ended up enjoying it.

 

[Coffinshaker]

Why?

I've said it before and will say it again... Lauren Faust is magic! She just is! She could make a show about talking poop and it would be amazing.

 

[Ravnican]

I watched it, but didn't like it. However I often play in a "Pony server" on Team Fortress 2 and the guys there are pretty cool. So, apparently, they just happen to like a show targeted at girls, no big deal.

Or perhaps you not-really-moderators missed the part where he said he is new to the internet and might not understand. Instead of being jerks about it you could easily have left your bullshit at the door and explained it POLITELY then dropped it instead of constantly bashing the guy. Way to be welcoming.

OT - MLP is just like every other Cartoon ever made. Some people (male or female) will like it. Others will despise it. It's a meme as others already pointed out. What's to understand?

Wasn't trying to be a mod or a jerk. But you are forced to read the rules twice before you can make an account and post in the forums. I took the time when I first joined. Again I do want to say I wasn't trying to be an ass. I just hate seeing so many of these threads XD

I understand it to be a fad in the homosexual community.

I don't know that there really is a specific community for homosexuals. They're just people too, you know? And if as many gays like the show as you imply then clearly they have excellent taste.

That's brilliant! I wish that had occurred to me before I actually joined the fandom. I don't have an excuse anymore...

I see you have a rather sallow life

 

[Stako]

perhaps this will answer your question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeJ6-gN0eB4

No. No it doesn't. I still don't get it. (I'm with the guy who started the topic)

It has nice animation though... but the ideas and the ponys and stuff... it's too much for me. But that doesn't mean it's bad. ^^

 

[Internet Kraken]

My brain is collapsing in on itself and it is filled with fucking ponies. I haven't even watched the show and I feel like I know to much about it. Friendship is tragic.

Rather lose my "man card" then be some stupid dick who judges people just from what they like to be honest.

I have no idea what the hell's so great about it... I'm afraid to investigate further, however, for fear of falling into it and never finding my way back, also known as coming to my goddamn senses. I have a tendency to do that with things I originally don't like; it's how my fandom for Pink Floyd developed when I wasn't looking.

[sub](Note/anecdote to Floyd fans: There's nothing wrong with Pink Floyd. The problem is that the first song I was aware of was Money, and it was the only one that anyone ever played in high school. As a result, I was absolutely sick of it and declared that Pink Floyd sucked. Eventually, I grew up and came to realize that if you skip over Money, which is the odd track out anyway, Dark Side is a fucking solid album.)[/sub]
