who's shoving what in who's face?
change thread title to mlp thread and then lock it
[QUOTE=MasterG;31157784]I agree with that. And I agree a lot of fans don't seem to take "I don't really like it" as a legitimate opinion.[/QUOTE] I've only seen the opinions of "I saw it, it's ok I guess", "do you want to read my fanfiction?", and "FUCK YOU GO DIE IN A FIRE" on facepunch. Seems like the fire brigade is starting to post more here.
[QUOTE=:awesome:;31157366]*And also don't shove said things in everyone's face. You only make yourself look like an idiot.[/QUOTE] It's you people who keep shoving "stop watching this show" down our throats.

[QUOTE=Pnukup;31158854]It's you people who keep shoving "stop watching this show" down our throats[/QUOTE] It's also your lot's incapability to understand that just because you enjoy a show doesn't mean that other people will, nor the thought that some people might not want to watch a children's show regardless of whether or not its fanbase is strangely broad. I have only really seen a majority of hostilities directed in response. You got your own thread so you could keep it there, just like the anime thread, yet you lot still bitched and caused shit to the point to where it was easier to cut losses.
Wow, this is actually a catchy song. Nice work, TH89.
if you make a cartoon show for children a part of your identity you should expect backlash because it's stupid fandoms are annoying
[QUOTE=Lazor;31159962] [B]fandumb[/B]s are annoying[/QUOTE] There's a trope for that.
not to mention i hate going to any website and having to see a fucking pony every second page. its obnoxious, that shit has to be -everywhere- apparently.
So many pony avatars. It's like old days again.

Why has MLP accumulated such a huge fanbase consisting of males over eight years old anyway?
[QUOTE=daijitsu;31160097]and yet people who hate it seem incapable of not posting in MLP threads to tell everybody how much they hate them[/QUOTE] That's not a bannable offense? We're talking about the chat thread, right?
[QUOTE=RichardCQ;31160130]That's not a bannable offense?[/QUOTE] hint: you're in a thread about MLP talking about how much you dislike how MLP fans act as is LeonS and :awesome: and a handful of others
The fuck is even going on in this thread anymore. It's turned into a general MLP thread now.
[QUOTE=daijitsu;31160141]hint: you're in a thread about MLP talking about how much you dislike how MLP fans act[/QUOTE] I was explaining to Pnukup as I've had the same conversation with him before
Why there isn't any music videos of Pony Swag yet?
why don't you all kiss and make out

[QUOTE=a dumb bear;31160124]Why has MLP accumulated such a huge fanbase consisting of males over eight years old anyway?[/QUOTE][QUOTE=TH89;31142026]I can't speak for anyone else but I like a few different things about it: -The writing and voice acting, which are hard to do well, are almost always really sharp. -The animation is [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3677532/QungS.gif]funny as hell[/url]. -It's funny as hell. There's a ton of gags that are clearly aimed at the parents of the kids watching more than the kids themselves--they live in "Equestria," there's a tree named "[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bloomberg]Bloomberg[/url]," they have a [url=http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110319014432/mlp/images/thumb/d/d0/Photo_Finish.png/258px-Photo_Finish.png]pony version[/url] of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Wintour]Anna Wintour[/url], there's an owl named [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloysius]Owloysius[/url], etc etc. It doesn't make any effort to downplay how ridiculous and surreal a society of ponies is either, and there's a ton of weird-as-shit stuff that comes out of it--horses sleeping in beds, applauding by stomping their hooves on the ground, pouring drinks by holding bottles in their mouths, etc. It's not as weird as Adventure Time, but it's up there. There's a scene where a pony sits in a hot tub too long and gets pruney hooves. There's an episode where a pony has a total mental breakdown because nobody comes to her party, and it's a liiittle more fucked up than you'd expect. -All the main characters are really likable. With most cartoons there's usually an annoying character or two where you're like "oh great not [xxxx] again" but all the ponies are pretty funny (unless you have no soul). The more episodes I watched the harder it was to pick a favorite character, they all own. -The show [i]really[/i] loves to subvert your expectations. For example the main character, Twilight Sparkle, is usually portrayed as the Sensible One, and the other ponies come to her for advice pretty frequently. Except a lot of the time she gives really horrible advice that just ruins everything. There's an episode where two groups are about to go to war, and one of the ponies shows up at the last minute and sings a song about sharing. But everyone hates the song and they fight anyway. Stuff like that. -Lastly, this is more of a reason for me to like the idea of the show than to watch it per se, but from a feminist viewpoint it's great. The six pony characters run the gamut from hella tomboyish to hella fem, and they're all diversely strong characters--athletes, scholars, small business owners, etc, whose plot arcs are about THEM and rarely driven by the male characters. And yeah it might seem kind of insignificant in the context of Pony Land but it's teaching little girls that they can be who they want to be and accomplish whatever they set their minds to, and that's a hell of a lot better than most half-assed "for girls" stuff that tells them they should be a princess so that a rich handsome boy will marry them. Or whatever. So politically it's doing a great job as well. Yeah, it can be really saccharine, and there's a lot of hearts and shit on it. That put me off initially, but after a few episodes you sort of gradually get used to it and the positive stuff I just laid out starts to shine through. I'm pretty sure that's why so many people say they got more and more hooked with each episode. I don't think it's the best thing ever, and I wouldn't be heartbroken if it didn't get renewed for another season, but ultimately it's pretty damn smart and subversive for a cartoon based on such a frilly girly franchise like My Little Pony. That's evident in the huge crossover appeal it's had. And I think that's pretty worthy of respect.[/QUOTE]

I guess FP still hates bronies. A little late to the party, but thanks TH89.
