Okay..

Peeps on the net say Rainbow Dash is a lesbian, I have not seen a single bit of evidence pertaining to this in 17 episodes so far,

Anyone got some evidence to back this up? Asides from the rainbow part, which can reinforce evidence, but cannot stand alone. They're unicorns and pegasi, they have shit to do with rainbows anyway.

Gotta say I didn't buy the hype until this morning when I started watching it, next thing I knew I was on episode 10, a very well made show

Like everyone has said, it's a cult/meme that people just follow. I predict that It'll die out soon.

It is a good show. I don't see why we can't leave it at that. Haters can go hate somewhere else, as all they're gonna get is love and tolerance. Bronies, keep doing our thing.
Also, has anybody mentioned that Lauren Faust was also an animator for The Iron Giant?

I actually enjoy the show, only reason why I don't have a ponytar is because VGC has been my avatar for awhile. The online community for MLP:FIM is actually very nice, at least on Ponychan.

I'm not sure how I feel about such an old thread coming back, especially given that rather vitriolic discussion on the previous page. And it's just one of those "WTF is MLP?!?1?1?" threads anyway. I would strongly encourage anyone interested to take their love of ponies to the official usergroup.

We're nice people, really.

There's nothing other than that and the fact that she's tomboyish. There's nothing canon to suggest either way. Their sexualities never crossed my mind while watching though... so I'm not sure why people gave it so much thought.

That sucks, I was hoping to be proven wrong on this, because that would make for a better character ( to me )

Well, it is a children's show that's funded for the sole purpose of selling toys. "Think of the children" and all that nonsense.

I don't see how her sexuality affects her character at all in a show like this.

While I didn't think it's the best show I've ever seen. I do still believe that compared to most cartoons from the last few years, it's certainly a step in the right direction in terms of kids shows. The characters actually each have distinctive personalities, the art style is appealing, and it is actually quite funny.

It doesn't go the way it's predecessors went and have all the ponies LOOK and ACT the almost exact same way. As in the case with G3:


So yeah, as you can tell by my avatar, (at the time of posting this), I like the show. And I'm a 19 year old male who goes to college. The people who made the show really went out of their way to make it so that FIM appeals to wide groups of people, not just little girls who don't know any better.

Finally, for anyone who plays TF2:

I do believe I'm in the same boat as the rest of you pony-lovers. I went to see what all the fuss was about, and now I can't get enough of this show. I was hooked in ten seconds flat.
I see what you did there....and I approve!

People are entitled to their own likes, even if it is My Little Pony. We're not here to judge is all I can say on the matter.
What I can't stand is the way they flaunt it so much. It's like having a gay pride parade march on Washington after being given rights. There are thousands of TV shows out there with cult popularity, yet none of them are shoved down our throats like MLP.

I know everyone's entitled to an opinion. Even Tim and Eric lovers are kind of understandable, with the whole "ironically low quality" thing, but I watched two minutes of MLP and can't stand it. Either it grows on you like a fungus, or it assaults some special part of the mind that only some possess, because I don't understand it's popularity.

After much procrastination, as I said I would in the "In the Grim Future, there is only Ponies" thread, I finally did a blog post about MLP: http://djshirescorner.blogspot.com/2011/06/my-take-on-new-my-little-pony.html
