Basically to assert their sexuality. The overwhelming majority on this site is male, and making fun of people who can appreciate a work of art that is directed towards young girls claims a certain (misguided) dominance over those that are perceived as inferior or unmanly. Basically it's trying to establish yourself as an alpha male.

OGrady. Forget the fact that it's directed towards girls. IT'S A CHILDRENS SHOW. You don't find it a little bit weird that all of a sudden it become a thing for grown men to like MLP? No i think they are tolling, or they have all lost their minds. Why did this all start at the same time? It's like an internet meme or something. People are just jumping on the bandwagon. I refuse to believe grown men watch this show for anything other then it being a fad. NO.

Maybe i'm not really a grown man (17 is enough for you?) , but i watch it and i'm not a troll. And i know many other people that watch it and are not troll either.
I've started to watch it almost 1 years ago, when it wasn't even cool or mainstream. I have seen the community grow up, and i can say that many people watch it because it's a funny show with good jokes, other watch it because it has good art/music, some watch it because it helped with their life (just make them a bit happier), and other watch it mainly because of the awesome community behind.
Sure, there are troll but not everyone is.

Well, I'm not a grown man, I'm a grown woman, but I still enjoy the show. I don't find that weird at all, neither do I understand what that has to do with trolling. Of course I could just watch it in my locked room, and never mention it to anyone, but I'm not ashamed to like a kids show, since it's a good and funny kids show.
I also enjoy Disney movies and read books intended for kids or teenagers. There is a lot of crappy stuff out there for kids, but the really good stuff for kids is also enjoyable for adults.

Well, yes, it is a children's show. I watch it, and I can tell you why: It is a well done show. It is able to show both humor and conflict without becoming blue or being violent. It does not belittle children.
Believe me, when I was told to watch the show, I was somewhat put off, too, but then I actually watched it. Get over the fact that you are watching a show for children that has ponies as main characters and you might just find a well done cartoon. Other good children's cartoons would be Gargoyles and Dinosaurs if you can't bring yourself to dive into the deep end ;)
Yes, it spawned memes. Yes, people will draw porn of it. Yes, people take it too far. Ask yourself why.

"people who can appreciate a work of art that is directed towards young girls"
Alright, but remember, you made me link to this.

Meh, I couldn't care less about appreciation, I like the show.
But it's a show, why should we be obsessed about it?
That goes to the haters too, just ignore the thing, no need to argue about it, you're calling them trolls, you're just feeding them.

Why i should ignore your replies to a thread that i want to follow? You have a whole forum without a thread to watch, "we" have just this thread.
You're acting like you're complaining about the music in an heavy metal concert. Why you entered the concert?
And I'm a guy at that concert, that only wants to listen to the music but have to listen to your complain too.

No one had to make a thread about mlp considering how some users feel about ponies and stuff. I'm not gonna say I'm surprised about people not liking mlp but there's also no reason to not understand why some people are annoyed by such topics either.

That was no personal comment. I just don't like it when people are flaming or insulting, and that has nothing to do how long I am active here^^
Yes it's internetitis, I know. One of the things I like about MLP is it teaches not to prejudice, but to tolerante and think independently.

Suuuuure... I don't know you, but where I am from you learn common sense in CHILDHOOD.
Well, I am fully grown adult man, just you know! AND I am not american!...
Okay, sorry for that. I know not all americans are the same, but that one is really seductive 'cause of the many bullshit that's going on...

Calling you a pedophile does not imply a sexual orientation, it implys that you have a sexual preference towards children. You really are bad at arguing.
edit: And now i'm going to be the mature person here and stop replying to this thread. If you have any problems with what I said, feel free to message me on steam, but this thread and all other controversial topics really have no place on S. Gifts.

Haters gonna hate, we'll always love and tolerate.

All fandoms have their terrible people. MLP is no different. I dislike the assertion that everyone tries to shove the show down peoples throats like a religion. This thread was for the people who watch and enjoy the show, and for those curious about it. We arent trying to 'convert' you. Exactly how are we supposed to discuss it if we are never allowed to post about it?

So far the only explanation I've read for the hate towards MLP has been that the people who enjoy won't shut up about it and shove it down everyone's throats.
Could anyone show me evidence of this? The only post I've seen about MLP in this forum has been this thread, which was made by a fan of the show in order to discuss it. Not shoving anything down anyone's throat, not making anyone like the show. Just someone trying to discuss a show he like with other people on this website.
The real trolls are quite clearly the haters. If you don't like a show, don't participate in a thread that is about it.
This show is popular, and people like it and want to talk about it. One thread and you lose your shit posting about how this show is being shoved in your face? Seriously, grow up.

funny that you used a Big Lebowski clip My Little Pony recently made a spoof on them
Like pereking said this is the only thread where we have been discussing MLP so if you hate the show or bronies for whatever reason just ignore the thread.

Okay. Your opinion, I won't kick the shit out of you and say "love and tolerate" just because you didn't like it.

OK so let's actually talk about the show
So what did you guys think about the newest episode "Secret of my excess" I found it funny at how often ponyville gets destroyed, loved the Godzilla & King Kong reference with the Wonderbolts taking the role of the airforce and the scene at the end with Spike and Rarity makes me hope it gets developed further in the future episodes.

Wow.
All resorting to insulting each other because you don't agree.
Some people like ponies, some don't. If you don't, then don't come to an appreciation thread to troll. How would you like it if somebody came into your favourite TV show or music thread and started blatantly insulting you?
Grow up.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a cartoon, and it's better than Skyrim and arrow in the knee jokes.
It sums up all the cuteness and happiness in the world.
season 1 playlist
I couldn't find a playlist for Season 2. Sorry, bronies.
Start enjoying ponies in thread.
