    A few users (pure, Satsu, and Noche) were expressing concerns for my health.

    To you, I have one thing to say:
    [​IMG]
    "I cannot allow this crime against fabulosity go uncorrected!"

    This thread is for all discussion of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It has grown quite popular among the unexpected teenage to adult male group, due to it's excellent writing, plot, and fabulosity.

    The show is made of pure awesome, you will be able to tell that by just watching the pilot episodes on YouTube here:
    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Episode 1 - The Mare In The Moon (Pilot Part 1/2) - YouTube
    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Episode 2 - The Elements of Harmony (Pilot Part 2/2) - YouTube

    The show is pure awesome, and you should all watch it. It is simply amazing, has an excellent plot, ponies, and last but not least, UNICORN MAGIC!

    When I was little I was all about my little ponies. I had at least 50 of the dolls and watched the cartoon regularly. I grew out of touch with it as I got older as tends to happen alot. Usually if I watch cartoons now its whatever my son is into lol.

    Maybe I should check these out though and see how the magic still holds up.

    Just because a target audience is children, doesn't mean a show can't have great writing and be a good show.

    Sortta like ToonTown. :p

    So.. let me get this straight.... you watch a show about magic unicorns and their friendship.. because it has a good plot and writing?

    Well when you put it that way..

    Yet another person flaming about the show who hasn't watched it.
    If you can't stand the power of fabulosity and Unicorn Magic, don't talk about it. It's that simple.

    All of the gender and age stereotypes are just ridiculous.

    I haven't seen the new My Little Pony, but I have a small collection of original MLP (components of which I often have sitting atop my computer) and an original that a friend of mine made when I made indications that I wanted a My Little Pwny.

    I even have a My Little Pwny shirt -- the pwny has PS2 controller as her symbol.

    One thing that I've enjoyed about the new MLP is that it's become part of Internet memes where people have managed to make excellent trailers for things like Mass Effect 2.

    Also, just to be amusing, one of the sociology journals that I subscribe to as part of my anthropological research just published a paper on Brony subculture and the social phenomenon. :)

    My sister used to watch those cartoons regularly, she had 3 ponies if memory serves me correct.

    On a more personal note, I despised those cartoons. The only films or cartoons I dislike more are: Annie, and the sound of music.

    As for gender stereotypes, I did watch a lot of fairytales when I was in my early teens. I really liked the Fantaghiro miniseries. However I don't think that had anything to do with gender non-conform behaviour, rather I had such big crush on the lead actress in those miniseries.

    You are still saying that it is wrong for males to watch anything with ponies or rainbows. Just because the show is marketed to these groups, doesn't mean that other people can't watch it. Society today places a great deal of burden on what different groups of people can do, through peer pressure to apply oneself to the gender-norms that people have put in place to day.

    Seriously, why do you have an issue with ponies?

    man, no1 is judging, you can watch what ever you want.
    If you want to watch ponies and rainbows whole day, who are we to stop you. But you could expect these kinds of comments and i'm not sure why did you even posted it?
    What were you expecting, that we will all like the show like you, watch it whole day, and then talk with you about it? This way we only argue for no reason...
