Why Little Pony?

[Aidinthel]

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.

Just start a thread for all your "started a hot thread" badges

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

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. ^^

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.

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.

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]

Speaking as a person who was just recently converted to the pony side, the show is hilarious. I don't know why, but it just is. However, to compensate for the lack of manliness in the game, I have taken to playing the new Mortal Kombat while watching it. I have done the math and they cancel each other out

btw, Pinkie Pie ftw

I'm not sure I understand. You don't want to risk discovering that you like the show? But surely any potential new source of entertainment should be welcome.

C'mon, Kraken, give it a try. You never know what you might like.

 

[lacktheknack]

It's a show for little girls that people try to justify for some odd reason. Tell me what is mature about ponies with tatoos of rainbows on thier buts prancing around singing about friendship. I mean, holy shit, other kids shows make fun of it for gods fucking sake.

There's nothing mature about it. Where'd you get that idea?

lol that sounds like me a week ago. Sadly, I have fallen into the pit of ponies of which you speak. If you want to know why it's so great, it's just hilarious.

It is a show that epitomises controversy. There are those who argue that their possession of male anatomy compels them to hate it (here you will see the "it's made for eight year old girls argument), those who have watched and simply dismissed it as another children's cartoon (reasonable) and those who say that it is indeed a highly watchable and entertaing cartoon. I tend to fall on the latter part, I find it very entertaining - and yes, I am in possession of male anatomy. Watch it (first two episodes are rather dull, however) to find out how you find it.

And yes, there are a few corny musical bits. But they are somewhat limited and are mostly bearable. The characters and the likes are worth enduring such things, however (in my opinion).

You seem to be forgetting one other group of people. It's a bit odd that those who like the show often forget that some others (that have male anatomy as you put it) just didn't like it because it wasn't entertaining to them. I have nothing against kids shows, I don't go out of my way to watch them but when I have little cousins over etc I have no problem watching whatever they want to watch. I just simply don't like the pony show, it is sort of boring and the "oh its corny but in a cute way" thing I just don't get at all. Corny is corny to me always will be despite how you dress it up.

Don't buy into the hype. Don't get me wrong, it's an okay show, but that's the thing, its just okay, theres nothing special about it. Theres nothing wrong with liking it, but everyone seems to act like its Gods gift to cartoons.

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

See that odd thing hanging in the top right 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.

I believe you won this thread for making an image specifically to diss the OP.

I was under the impression he had that handy for all MLP threads.

In a world that expects everyone to be so serious and mature, what is so bad about letting loose and being a little immature from time to time?

CAN I GET AN AAAA-MEN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS?!!! THIS FRIEND SPEAKS MY MIND!!! HALLELUJAH!!!

Seriously. Anyone who gets bent out of shape when other people have fun has probably forgotten how to have fun themselves.

Well it's not the best, but it's damn good, and the images are the funniest I've seen in awhile.

Plus the community is nice. L4D2 brony games are a blast.

We here at the Escapist have a long standing history of loving ponies.
Not liking ponies is Anti-ESCAPIST and will result in you having absolutely no poniocity.

Its the only really happy, positive thing that's become such a huge influence on people from the internet other than cute pictures of cats, it seems. People are having fun being nice on the internet.

Why dislike it if it has thousands on the internet change their philosophy to this:

Spoiler

Its not only a quality work of animation that does everything it sets out to do and it is extremely meme-able, making it loads of fun. Same reason Minecraft is so popular, except in fandom form.

Spoiler: Just don't expect to get tickets to the next Pony Jam concert you... un-ponious... person.
