[QUOTE=Pythagoras;28620472]Okay guys you can't really defend the idea that the show was [I]intended[/I] for audiences other than little girls, because it is. Little girls are the sole audience the show is targeted at. End of story. However, that doesn't mean it's tripe that adults can't enjoy as well. Thankfully the benefit of being an adult is that we can recognize actual, objective quality past the theme of the show.[/QUOTE]

Finally some wisdom.

[QUOTE=Craptasket;28620516]You have to be a real dolt if you don't think a demographic of any show spreads from his original intended audience.[/QUOTE]
Of course I don't think that what? This thread is proof that it spreads. I'm saying, in this context, it is weird and indicates some sort of abnormality.
Just look.

If they actually intended it for the whole family, they wouldn't have gone with ponies and friendship and magic. Hasbro wanted the show so they could sell ponies. It's marketed towards little girls, so it's a show for little girls. But the creators can still make it appealing to a family audience despite that. It just shows Lauren Faust's talent for what she does.

That was posted on dA by the creator. I think she knows what she's talking about.

You forgot the part where there's only about 10,000 active members at facepunch.
And we're talking a FORUM here, where not EVERYONE is centered around one thread. That picture shows the top 4 most viewed thread. This is one of them.

Yeah, it doesn't. At all. You may think it does, because past girl-shows were filled with horrible drivel that you would have to be autistic or a small child to enjoy. This show, on the other hand, is actually well made. If something is well made, and I enjoy it, I'm just going to watch it and just not give a shit that it isn't marketed towards me.
[QUOTE=saddasta;28620608]That was posted on dA by the creator. I think she knows what she's talking about.[/QUOTE]
My point is that it isn't [I]marketed[/I] towards adults. An adult isn't going to see a promo for the show, and think "oh hey this a show for me!". It's only once you actually watch it that you realize that it's not just little girls that can enjoy it.

You really can make a good show about anything if you have the talent which Lauren Faust clearly has.

Well true, 100k is more like the total members. There are ~30,000 active members (currently 20,980). Either way.
57 / 20 980 = 0.00271687321 so 0.27 % of the forum is reading this thread. That's not even to say that those people actually like the show.

Like this for example is weird. Why does she have to get raped? The joke is "everytime x happens a kitten dies" not gets raped because rape being the first thing you go to is just...

I really just want proof then of you saying "it doesn't mean that". I'm not really buying the whole "production value is amazing" and "plot is intense". You have a lot of evidence suggesting that liking this sort of thing at like age 18 or 20 is weird and might indicate immaturity or like emotional problems or something.
By the way, I have nothing wrong with adults watching cartoons marketed for kids. I watch spongebob when I'm bored and nothings on, I watch adventure time if I catch it and flapjack.

I don't see how that makes sense. It's not the trolls who pump out the Rule 34. If it was, then the entire argument would just be contradiction.

Mine's better. I can hide his posts completely.
87% of the people on Facepunch now like my little pony. Why must a cartoon about ponies be SOOO good.
Also I laughed when I realized all of your avatars are ponies (In a good way, not poking fun)

I get its a joke, but I see hundreds of these slightly off jokes. One spray said "I watch it for the plot" and had pics of the pony's asses from various episodes. The guy explained to me that he watched the show and liked it and that he did it for shock value... One instance of course.

The only abnormality is obsession. Saying it's weird for people to have found an appeal to something not intended for their age group is stupid. You can't stop human interest to anything that appeals to them.

You might as well stop now, because this is the biggest contradiction you've done yet. Which is all you've done, really.
You come in here, and complain about us watching kids shows - yet you watch them too.
Yo guys, stop caring if people rip on you for watching this show, seriously. Some of you seem to be developing a big persecution complex because of it.

Obsession huh? So basically everyone in this thread who has a pony avatar, works feverously to produce hilarious pony memes, makes their in-game sprays, constantly discusses the show like its a fucking hobby haha, and tells their friends about it is not obsessed?
I'll wager a pretty penny that most of the people here obsess over anime as well as other weird things.

And here's where I digress. I watch them. Maybe 3 times a month. You catch every new episode of MLP and have probably watched every episode to date.
There are still some episodes of sponge bob I haven't watched and I watched it when I was a kid.
You. Are. Obsessed.
