My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Appreciation Thread

It's cute. And awesome. And the characters are amazing. <3

I'm in the same boat. I know I read a thread about it and they talked about the character development and the depth it had to it, so I decided to watch the first episode to give it a chance and I couldn't finish it. To each their own.

Then I watched these:

Now if the show was more like those, I would watch it all the damn time.

I'm neutral but if there's a bunch of arguing don't act suprised

I'm for a de-ponisation of this chat. I have nothing at all against peopele watching the show, I'm sure it must have it's moments. What I'm against is the absurdity terrible fanbase that follows it who must come in and post in every single thread about the show they like (I call it The-Cake-Is-A-Lie-Syndrome).

I've seen way too many threads/forums/chatrooms/bars torn apart by "bronies" and "haters". Just stop with the spam about the show already, It's pretty much trolling at this point.

^This too.

It's not so much the fact that the fans like the show as that a vocal majority of them never shut the hell up about it. They bring it into pretty much everything no matter how unrelated. Having seen the show myself, I'd say it's pretty good at best. So I'm not against it. I'm against people who won't STFU about it. A really bad example was some of the people during the Desert Bus for Hope 5 marathon this year. But I'm not going to go into that ordeal again.

Not to mention that the OP is pretty much asking for a flame war. Just look at the following sentance from the OP: "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a cartoon, and it's better than Skyrim and arrow to the knee jokes." Going to a video-game based site and claiming that this show is better then a recently released game that many people (not including myself) believe is a god among games sounds a lot like trolling to me.

It's because bronies shove it down our throat. You don't see people starting threads left and right hating on it. But bronies will enter every thread in existance, and just spout nonsense about how good it is. The bronies instigate, they will try and tell you everything you like is worse than what they like, then they get a victim complex when you say "sir, you are annoying me, please stop."

They have a subreddit for MLP porn. Isn't that enough of a reason?

This man has the right idea.

Except your cute picture, you aren't even in a pony group on steam

This.

i dont think anybody needs this cancer there either.

What made me start watching it was the sense of nostalgia. I kinda missed a cartoon without explicit violence that had a nicely written story and was well-made overall. I don't get all crazy about ponies (no, I don't have toys, posters or anything like that), but I respect those who are like that and I also respect who doesn't like the show. After all, it's just that: a TV show. I'm sure there are other shows that fit into this category, but this one caught my attention, probably because of the weirdness of a pony cartoon gathering so many fans (and so much hate).

i hadn't seen anything of it until this thread, so i watched a couple minutes of the first episode and i was impressed that it was well produced, not condescending, goofy and fun. I don't know that I'm a "brony" after those few minutes but I could easily and immediately understand why it has gained popularity. That, and the trendy love of cute ponies, ironic or not.

xaxxaxa this never gets old

Mine too.

[== BROHOOF!!!

It's like religion. Few people actually hate God, but some people do hate the ***holes standing on the corner screaming that they're going they're going to hell and shoving their religion down their throat.

There's a thread like this in nearly every forum you can go to. A lot of people like The Simpsons, but do you see a thread about that show in every forum? nope. Which is what makes this stuff obnoxious.
