The overly emotional can't read straight nor think.

It tells me grown up males are comfortable with their sexuality and are able to look past silly male/female gender boundaries to enjoy what is generally a fun show. These men may actual like the show or may be feigning interest for their children's sake.
Little boys are only ashamed MLP to be caught MLP because adults constantly reenforce ridged male stereo types on them. It is sad what is acceptable for male to participate in is such a narrow defined role (you gotta be tough, no sissy shit), when in reality men's roles and interest run a wide gamete.
It hilarious on a gaming board here men defining what is manly when adult men who play video games are considered normal male standards to be childish and not real adults cause they still play nerdy children's games.

I find it funny that someone is arguing about "it won't be watched when it's all male!" when pretty much every character who is important in the male spectrum of (80's) cartoons were all males.

It's more like comparing Imagine: Fashion Designer Babies for the DS and Halo (not regarding the quality, or lack thereof, just the content). These are video games though which you actually derive challenge from. Not just shit you watch for the entertainment value so it's not the same.Uchip said:
To be clear, I don't see anything wrong with someone else watching it. The OP was asking why there was polarizing opinions on the show... the reason is simply because there's a stigma associated with the MLP franchise, that it is only for little girls. That's the answer to the question... plain and simple.EmmanuelMunoz said:

Thanks for the post. As much as I love stuff like Regular Show on CN I just can't see my myself watching a MLP show by msyelf. Perhaps if I was looking after my niece then maybe.
However the above posters points I can understand.

And that's one of the key factors as to why the new show is popular. It was the gem on the sea of shit. Really, if MLP is a decent series, this really wouldn't be much that popular. Yeah sure the minds behind MLPFiM are veteran cartoon creators/producers, but since when does the typical internet goer care about it unless noted? Similarly, if Transformers wasn't a hit and Beast Wars popped up, you'd see stuff like "how can a 30-min commercial be this good?!"
See also: GAF turning a Power Rangers RPM OT into a shitfest because of nostalgia-gaf ruining it. RPM >>>>>>>>> ahead of MMPR, both in quality and content, but of course the eyes of the past have already established something. It's hard to shake something as solid as that.

It's called playing off your posts and just re-arranging your quotes or lines to make it look like I did.

Yeah. Take a picture at an anime club meeting, harry potter movie line, or jeez... a gamestop, and it'll look roughly like this.cajunator said:

Aren't even teens prone on doing similar things? The dudebros will line up and do similar things with their favorite "hardcore" game opening/cons while the dudettes will line up on the next vampire book.

it's not natural
I had this argument a few months ago.
Some fans were open, honest, and inviting (telling me about the show, answering my questions, etc) while others were hostile, insulting, and defensive.
There are three types of fans:
1) People who genuinely love the show and have an affinity for it.
2) People who like being apart of the socially polarizing community that surrounds it, but won't admit that violating social norms has ANYTHING to do with their involvement in it.
3) People who admit that there is a 'guilty pleasure' to the whole phenomena while enjoying it for what it is.
Question is: Honestly speaking, what percentages of the fans of the show belong to category 1,2, and 3?
