Haven't you had enough by now, G-Fex? Must we love and tolerate the shit outta you all over again? Are you really ready for the friendliest game?
 
What's to discuss here, isn't it obvious? There's nothing wrong with the show. It is however a cartoon made for little girls. Fine if they throw some stuff in to appeal to adults, mainly parents who happen to catch the show whilst their children are watching. But that's probably as far as it should go.

As an example, I only know of one guy who watches it. He's a work colleague of a friend of mine. I've only met the guy a few times. He's between 28-30 and lives at with his parents and rarely leaves his house. Has few friends and never had a girlfriend. He's shy and awkward in work. His hobbies are PS3, Magic: TG, and hardcore watcher of MLP. He sounds like a cliché, but this is basically the impression people get when they hear about grown men watching this show. For me personally, it just so happens to be that the one guy I know who likes it, is exactly what I think of when I hear the term, brony.

I wanted to present evidence where our factions stands and how mine is the best, just throwing it out there for kicks. But hey you want love and tolerance then let's have rainbows, unicorns and milk and cookies. What'll be the point of a challenge then? LETS HAVE FRIENDSHIP AND MAGICS!

LETS HUGGG IT OUT BROOOOOOONIE!

I don't usually like cute stuff but as an animator it's really difficult not to admire this show. The design and animation is consistently strong. I'm not crazy about Flash symbol animation but I bet it's a fun production to work on.

Is it all right for grown men to watch shows for little boys though?

Lack of hate in Thundercats thread says yes, yes it is.


Those curious should watch soon. Season 2 starts next Saturday.

Or grown women to watch shows for little girls.
a late teen girl watching disney shows is cute

a late forty year old mother of 3 watching the jonas brothers is pathetic
 
G-Fex said:
You know there's shows ill never watch, they include MLP

Others are

Lucky Star
Naruto
K on (whatever that is)
and One Piece

Also yeah you "bronies" think you cancome back to the OT as the best faction on Gaf? Forget it! You haven't a ghost of a chance against creepy Gaf!

But you watch Yu-Gi-Oh!. That makes your stance invalid.

Freakazoid is better than My Little Pony.

Can you all just watch Freakazoid, please.

But I already watched Freakazoid.

Who's that girl dressing like Pinkie Pie? This is not the first time I've seen her doing it and I love her cosplay.
 
Although this topic has gone into random directions, I just wanted to say I am ok with the show, as I do see my little 8 year old sister watching it, and through this show, I got to introduce her to the PPG on DVDs so it works out.

I liked seeing the gifs and some macros, and would consider it alright otherwise. I just laugh at those who hate or love it to the extreme...on either side...=)

it's how these monsters work


-criticize these monsters and their delinquent show on OT
-one of them alerts the hivemind on community
-after you see a page of normal people discussion you see 3-4 extra pages full of pony avatars
-most, if not all try to drive the argument in a million different directions using strawmen, fanart, and other ways
-thread becomes new MLP OT thread


just ignore them people

I've avoided this topic altogether. It's actually scary that grown men want to watch a show for little girls. I remember when the avatarrs started popping up on GAF. I kept on thinking that it must be some joke / meme that I wasn't getting.

I'm fine with letting people be who they want to be. Watch what you want to watch. I just know where my head is. I'm a 31 year old man with a wife a job and a house. I go to work, watch sports / discovery, play video games, drink beer etc etc. I'm not watching cartoons for little girls.

Watching ponies is more manly than drinking beer.

Have you TRIED watching it?
 
if i could use an accurate comparison for MLP fans on gaf, it'd have to be a rash

they itch and shit so you can spread them around and shit but if you ignore them they'll quit spreading and eventually fade

so treat em like a rash, and they'll go away
 
Best comparison I ever heard was when My Little Pony was compared to moe in anime with shows like Lucky Star or K-ON in that sometimes people just want to watch cute little shows about cute characters doing cute things that just happen to be well written and animated as well.
