It's not like people were posting ponies licking each other's tails (well, until Pandaman).

And what makes it that this show can only be enjoyed by girls? Granted I've only seen 2 episodes, but I've seen no subject matter that is even gender biased one bit. The characters may be girls, but the story, animation, and charm of the show are things anyone can enjoy.
South Park may be a show made for young adult males, but there's nothing wrong about women watching it.

I was wondering where all the MLP avatars were coming from. Now I know.

Generally, if you watch something and don't like it you move on.
There are plenty of examples in this thread of people who watched it, didn't care for it, posted their thoughts and moved on. The debate was usually civil, if at all. They didn't keep watching and trolling the thread.

You are assuming everyone here faps to pony plushies and has walls decorated with pink and rainbows.
I mean, maybe Mike does (sorry Mike!), but some of us genuinely liked the show for what it was trying to do: simple plots with great character interactions and superb animation. And it's not like we could discuss this shit, well, anywhere else. So it was nice to have a focused thread for it, just like how there are threads for Young Justice, Super Sentai, and freaking Power Rangers.
I'm outta this thread before the bans begin. It was fun, PonyGAF. Hopefully things calm down.

Those may have been good shows, but you have to account for the nostalgia factor. Plus none of those shows are aimed exclusively at little girls, which is mostly what people are going on about.
I agree with you though, a well made kid's show can be enjoyable to anyone and MLP is an excellent kids show. I've watched a couple episodes and it's not my cup of tea, but it's not hard to see why people enjoy it.

The same could be said for Simpsons, Lost, Community, and Firefly. And many other shows as well.Pimpbaa said:

As said before, YouTube has them all up. The user pensivepony usually has them up a few hours after airing, and in relatively good quality.PhoncipleBone said:
Hasbro's been pretty lax with their shows being online.

One of the best and most intelligent posts made about the quality of the show itself I have seen in a page or two.Shalashaska161 said:

They did, even by me and I made the OT for the current season of Community. But you didn't see as much blatant trolling on that end.PounchEnvy said:
lets assume that im everything everyone for the last few pages thinks i am.
how does that effect ponygaf to the point where it must be seen as a collective failing of the group? it doesn't, if I'm fapping in a closet to ponies than that is a failure that does not and should not reflect negatively on anyone else. this is the problem with the title change, because even i was the creep you guys all want me to be, that still wouldn't legitimize the trolling of everyone associated with the series.
the people who have hopped onto this title change are being abusive for abusiveness sake, i quite clearly do not represent the norm of pony gaf and if my actions have somehow legitimized the renewed trolling of the shows honest fans, then i do apologize to those fans.

1. So it would have been alright if I had watched that show if I was a little 9 years old boy at the time, and would still be watching it today?
2. The creator of the show herself said that show wasn't created only for girls, but also for parents who would watch the show with those girls.
EDIT: Whoops, didn't see the second part of your post.

That's because the fans weren't all man-children that fought every "insult" someone hurled.
Best way to move on from the trolls and such is to vacate the thread for a few days and let it run its course. Longer you defend it the more ammo people have. And there's already a ton of ammo. If you're going to love baby shows you should expect some ridicule. Accept it and move on.
Spongebob is intended for very young children, so you must be a pedophile.Pimpbaa said:
I'm not a fan of My Little Pony, but it seems to be a well made show, so why do you have to be an asshole shitting up a thread for people who have done nothing to you? With how bad the world already is, why do you feel the need to stomp on someone's innocent fun? Because that's the act of a selfish child.

Dear Tyler "EviLore" Malka,
For years I have been an active contributor to the Neo Gaming Age Forums (Believe!) community. I've laughed at the memes, watched the megatons, and cried at the bombas. NeoGAF has came to be a place I call "home."
But in the wee hours of Monday, March 14, 2011, a grave injustice was committed. Though the culprit remains unknown, spmepony on the moderation or administration staff changed the title of the official "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" thread to, "Staring at ponies is bad for your health (NSFA)." This mockery and degrading attitude towards your userbase is insulting, and frankly, unwise.
Though suitable for children, the (mis)-adventures of Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and the oh-so-lovable Applejack were hilarious and enjoyable by all age groups. Bonds of friendship (is magic) were forged over this show, and this was expressed in our many avatars. Yet some immature naysayer disrupted our equine discussion and invited childish trolls into our midst.
This crime can be corrected. Revert the thread title back immediately. NeoGAF is supported by ad dollars, and if you alienate the My Little Pony community, the consequences may be dire for your traffic. Anypony in a responsible position of leadership would make the right choice. Choose wisely.
May Your Oats Be Fresh,
Pony-Age

ive mulled it over and i think the thread title change stuff as of late has been pretty un-gaf-like. the selena gomez thing thread was one thing since i remember it having a ton of pictures of barely legal or underage girls, but this and the kpop thread are just people liking harmless whatever. power to yall.

I was under the impression the title change didn't come about until after the thread got derailed by that stupid image Panda posted, that so many people unnecessarily reacted to.lexi said:
The words "My Little Pony" invited them with open arms. The title change draws people hear that were thinking this was the boob thread.
I understand you guys would rather not have people coming in here making jokes and "trolling" and all that, but that's not going to happen, because you're not getting trolled. People have different opinions and are poking fun at the fact that grown men and watching a show made for little girls. If this thread is going to continue to exist, people are gonna have to learn to deal with it.

I see, we're subject to different standard from the rest of the forum. The rest of the forum don't 'vacate' their threads and wait for it to stop. Show me an NFL thread where the majority of the discussion is about how much NFL sucks and how people are gay for watching it.
At this point I'm not angry at the trolls but rather the double standard that is occurring. Why is this thread subject to different rules?
