You don't help yourself, do you?
[QUOTE=Nahyan;31163480]Fuck that. We chose that name ourselves, we have a community on that name, and we even got Faust and the Hub to recognize us as such. I refuse to change that on the basis that some people are too immature or ignorant to accept that.[/QUOTE]
still sounds real lame

The editing is legit professional quality.
lil b would be proud
Sound is a bit bad, But if you play the good quality music in the background it sounds cool... shouldn't have spent 30 minuets syncing it.
Realy nice.

Hey pascall, i've given you $4 or so from upgrades, do i get a pony?
Ok, so I've watched 2 episodes of this show, the two "best" episodes as decided by some people I know, just to give it a fair point of view.
I watched the rainboom one a few months ago and Party for One just now.
I understand that some of the jokes are put in there for the parents who watch the show, like [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYh81kNtCAU]this one[/url].
I understand that the art is well done, and some of the animation is pretty funny too.
I admit, I did laugh a few times.
What I don't understand is why people almost obsess over this show, making special forums for it, songs for it, changing their avatar to a pony, etc. I like a lot of TV shows, but I don't get into them to this level at all.
It's a great show for little kids, but it's only an alright show [i]at most[/i] otherwise.
There are [i]so many better shows than this[/i].
I could watch an episode of Big Bang Theory, and I would probably end up laughing a few times, but overall I don't think it's a good show. Why would I watch a full episode just for a few funny moments?
If I had to watch another episode it wouldn't be horrible torture by any stretch, but it would be akin to watching something like Mall Cop, just a mediocre comedy. I wouldn't choose to watch it in my spare time at all.
It also doesn't help that whenever someone legitimately dislikes the show, people seem to jump to say "you just don't like it because everyone else doesn't like it"
but I actually do want to hear your reasons for watching this show besides the ones I pointed out.

Well, I did my part with that post earlier so I'll refer you to that, but...

I haven't seen this said that much, I certainly don't think it's true. I think people dislike it for a few reasons.
One, like I said before, it's something that grows on you after watching a bunch of episodes (even if you start with the best ones) and yeah, it IS just a cartoon so even otherwise-unbiased people probably don't care to make the effort.
Two, a lot of it has to do with simple misogyny--a lot of people, guys especially, think that girls aren't as good as guys (even if they wouldn't put it in those words) and "girl stuff" is bad and guys should avoid having anything to do with it.
Three, a lot of the fanbase is legitimately creepy (something I didn't notice until I was more than halfway through the series, since I wasn't going on fan sites), there's a lot of tolerance for fanfiction and lusting after ponies and shit and that's understandably pretty offputting.

Still though, it's kinda funny that some people seem more obsessed with hating the show than we do with liking it.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Zadrave;31166566]It seems like people try harder to rage at MLP than to like it.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=69105;31164393]if there is something people like, they will dislike it solely for that reason
that's just how it works[/QUOTE]
By "they only hate it because everyone else hates it" I mean generally acting higher than people who honestly just don't like the show.

[QUOTE=SM64Guy;31167810]Fanfiction isn't [I]that[/I] bad when it's done right, but then again, I don't read it.
But the sexual stuff extremely disturbs me.[/QUOTE]
The normal pony fanfiction is expected and alright, it's the 'human arrives in Equestria' escape fanfictions that, most of the time, develop into 'clopfics' which are normally human x pony, thats the shit that disturbs me
[QUOTE=SM64Guy;31167810]But the sexual stuff extremely disturbs me.[/QUOTE]
95% of all fanfiction is baseless sexual pairings of characters or between a character and the author's self-insert.
And then there's "Cupcakes".
And just a side note, I recently tried to watch some shows like Spongebob, ed edd and eddy, angry beavers, rugrats, etc.
As amazing as those shows were when I was younger, they just aren't that funny anymore, and to me MLP is no exception. They were mainly designed as shows for kids to appreciate, and as sad as it is that I can no longer get the same amount of enjoyment out of an episode of spongebob, it's pretty much true.

You're thinking of the wrong fanfiction, theres a good amount of standard adventures in the days of ponies. I'd say 'clopfics' are more like 40% of the fanfics. That's 40% too many.

some people like to escape man, think of peter pan. There was a saying from some movie I watched a bit ago...something like "when I was a child, I played like a child, I acted like a child...but one day, the adults told me to grow up and stop liking everything I had poured my heart into....and than I became an adult; when I cut myself off from my fun, child side."

I meant in the overall world of fanfiction, I haven't dug into MLP related stuff but I assume there's lots of episode-quality random story arcs and such instead of pure unholy shipping like most other stuff gets
