Now I might have missed something (and by "might have" read "probalbly") but what is it with all the My Little Pony avatars and references? Is it a big irony thing or do people actually like it. I'm really confused.

Yeah, I don't get it either.
Suddenly a bunch of Escapists have MLP avatars.
I'm not in the cool club now.

Which actually just makes this thread 20% cool...
Anyway, My Little Pony is awesome because it's well written and animated which happens to give it a wide appeal.
It's also become an Internet phenomenon because it's not supposed to be awesome and easily parodied but it is and it can.

What?!
Yeah, there've been a shit-load of 'why ponies'/'i love ponies' threads. And yes, it is a popular series around here, for various reasons, not least of which is awesome characters. If you go to Youtube, the vast majority of comments will be along the lines of 'I'm a male, late teens... so why in hell do I like this series', or my personal favourite: 'men watch football... REAL MEN watch My Little Pony.'

Long story short: A new MLP cartoon is out, its very good, its became a very popular meme.
Dont let the fans and their memes scare you off. Its actually good.

Seriously though, no we aren't liking the show Ironically (which isn't a true use of the word), it's actually an enjoyable show. But the constant repeat threads that ask this same thing over and over again is getting on everybody's nerves.
And now for a familiar reply to veterans:
It's animation is great, its characters are fleshed out and realised without being stereotypes, the voice acting is phenomenal, the songs are good, the subject matter is excellent, they don't treat the audience like idiots, and the Creator Lauren Faust made it with the intent that adults will be watching it with their daughters, thus she didn't dumb it down.
Lauren Faust was also able to make this happen by telling Hasbro that she wasn't just going to make a twenty minute commercial for the toy-line and actually make people care about what they are buying. Plus, she's the one behind Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, both of which are quite good.

Anywho, this question has been asked to death, and been answered to death.
Lets just say, rather than ask why it's good, why not check out an episode for yourself?
Actually, she's behind the design and several other things... her husband, Craig McKracken, created those shows. Why do people keep forgetting this!?Radoh said:
