The polarizing reactions to My Little Pony

This picture is completely unbelievable.

With a grip like that the pony's tail would be torn out long before her ribcage parted company with her abdomen. That dreadnought's right hand should be gripping her haunches and hind leg, giving him a much firmer hold and enabling him to exert additional force on the spinal column by way of applying a twisting motion. Furthermore, doing so guarantees that he would be able to crush the hind legs with a flexing of his power fist, instantly crippling the pony's ability to flee should she attempt to effect an escape.

thats the unbelievable part?

pinkie pie makes mary sues look like worfs. having a dreadnaught catch her totally breaks character.

Not really. I mean, I accept that I am a fan of an unconventional sport that is often the punchline for jokes and I realize there's a certain amount of grief I should reasonably expect to take when I proudly advertise my fandom.

I just think it's weird how defensive My Little Pony fans get in threads like this. It's almost like they feel that the show defines who they are and they get offended when people find their lifestyle bizarre.

i know rite

like when you say "some pony fans creep people out because of their sexual attraction to these cartoon horses"

the natural reaction from a normal pony fan should just be to laugh and be confident in their knowledge that they are not one of these deviants

but instead every single pony fan goes nuts rather than admitting the obvious

i mean sonic fans dont pretend there isnt a creepy, disgusting underbelly of that fandom which draws disturbing, filthy pictures of sonic and his shitty friends

why are pony fans so inclined to defend these people

It's puzzling to me why this show is so popular with teens and young adults while a cartoon like Adventure Time, which is as clever as anything on TV right now and works on so many levels, is only moderately popular.

Adventure Time works as an adult show, works as a kid's show, is cute, genuinely funny, trippy and weird, unique, has a slowly unfolding mythology, the characters and settings are wildly creative, it's really fucking genius.

Is it because it's not SUPER INCREDIBLY CUTE like My Little Pony?

Anime really has ruined the taste of an entire generation. ;)

yes it is :)
 
Duki brings up a good point. Pandaman openly admits he is attracted to the ponies and wants to have sex with them. And in a strange way, I respect him for not giving a shit about what people think of his fetish.

I'm all for making fun of the shit people like. It's when it gets to personal attacks and name-calling that I think most fans react the way they do.


I would do the same for K-ON!!GAF.
K-ON! is still crap.

This. Make fun of the show all you like. It is for girls. It is a silly. It does feature the adventures of magical ponies being all pony like.

Just cut the shit out about me and everyone who does like it being creepy, fat, lonely, socially inept losers. There is no need for that shit. Attack the show and stop making personal attacks.
 
Sup.

obviously my little pony isnt teaching kids basic math as well as friendship, because "some" and "a percentage" now means "all"

you guys really should switch over to sesame street sometimes, i hear theres a little vampire dude there who can teach you to count all the way to big people numbers like 10

Adventure Time is second to Regular Show.

1. Regular Show
2. Adventure Time
3. Venture Bros.
4. Archer
5. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
 
I'd put K-ON as about equal with MLP actually.

Adventure Time is definitely better than both. Haven't seen anything else mentioned.

This reads like a pothead relevancy scale.

So I just completed the entirety of this series due to request from a friend who is a big fan of the show.

It was pretty good! Good animation, downright hilarious, funny characters, and good cartoon overall.

I didn't really feel motivated outside of those realms, however.

Why is this one of the most polarizing shows of all time? People seem to either love it so much that they hype background characters, create fan material, and jack off to pony characters that they usually wouldn't jack off to; or they despise it with a visceral, illogical hatred.

I don't get this, either one. Can't this show just be a great cartoon?

What exactly motivates people to either extreme spectrum? That's all the reactions I see from this.

Why does a show get this much of a reaction from both sides, when other shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Gargoyles, Batman: The Animated Series, etc. all are recognized as being fantastic cartoon series yet don't get a similar love and hatred?

Maybe it's because the show is for little girls I guess.

It seems to be a well made show for girls. Well animated, makes for good gifs.

I find it intensely boring. I've never made it through ten minutes of an episode.

If somebody else likes it, I don't see any reason to assume that they're lying about why they like it, and are actually some sort of furry deviant. I think furries have kind of ruined the internet that way; we all got so shocked at the furry stuff that we're on the lookout for it anywhere there are anthropomorphic animals. Oh, you like that cartoon with animals in it? You must be one of those furry freaks!

Space Marines are nothing if not an embodiment of adolescent power fantasies. If a teenage boy thinks a cyborg quasi-undead Space Marine in an ambulatory coffin can catch a pony, then by God that pony is gonna get caught.
 
I actually tried to watch it once, just because people assured me that underneath all the stupid internet fandom was a well made show.


...it's not funny or charming at all. I liked Fosters, thought PPG was hilarious, but this just wasn't funny. The "humor" and "charm" felt like low-grade "wacky" humor in place of any kind of real jokes.

pinkie pie can move faster than a flying pony made of dark matter that moves at the speed of rainbows.

this actually happens in the show.

Wanna know the best part? Some MLP fans think they are better than furries. I've seriously heard some of them say this.

that's like saying I've heard video game fans say they are better than furries.

uh, okay then.
 
Oh, it's this thread!

I am a mild brony (apparently we don't exist). But putting that aside, it annoys the SHIT out of me when people walk into a thread, literally insult people for liking a certain thing, and then attempt to counter-defend themselves with "Hey man, why are you getting so defensive about this? It's just the internet/a cartoon/a discussion, chill out."

Shut the fuck up. Seriously. You're making broad and presumptuous generalizations about generally well-adjusted people, and it's incredibly hypocritical considering most of the people on this forum, OT or not, play video games at least once in awhile. If someone came up and said anyone who played video games was a fat, socially incapable loser, would that be okay? They can't see the value in video games, and you can't see the value in a television show, and that's okay, but don't be an asshole about it.

but video games are for men and ponies are for girls, that's why! if you like a show about ponies and you're a man, you must be doing something wrong!

Dark matter is heavy, and rainbows are inert. This sounds like a description of a glacier battling a methaqualone addiction.

Considering i outright hate furries... yeah i think im better than them. So i watch a show about ponies. It really isnt any different than watching Tiny Toons or hell even Animaniacs. Anthropomorphic characters are fine... until the sick furries and sonic fans want to have sex with them. Then i say

I just don't care, you know?

I've watched the first episode of My Little Pony to see what the hype was about. The animation was great and you know what, the story and characters weren't too bad either but it wasn't compelling enough for me to continue watching the series. Let the My Little Pony fans do their thing. As long as they aren't doing anything wrong, they're fine in my book. They're not being racists, they're not breaking any rules, they're not killing anyone, etc and all that jazz.

Just move on.

Now where is the fun in that? I'd rather keep poking fun at them.

hate isnt a good reason to warrant superiority in any shape or form
it kind of works the other way actually
