Honesty, The whole ponies felt forced. It's gone to a point where there hardly any middle ground and can't just enjoy one or two episodes without people say "your a brony, go to the brony side" I can see the intelligents of the show but this is close to religion where the religion it self is fine but the extremists is getting too far from reasonable. It's not a bad show but broneies is getting out of hand.
Lauren Faust would disagree with you...Echo136 said:
Buy the way Hasbro's opinion is meaningless, the just own The my little pony franchise. They didn't make Friendship is magic.
Also yeah you're right, it was pretty obvious that the previous versions were made with girls specifically in mind. But FiM is completely different to the previous versions so i don't see how that matters.
Well, I think the show's alright, but I don't unduly evangelize about it and I've never posted a related meme. Can't we all be reasonable about this?
Oh, and a word about the pony avatars: I don't really have any objection to them, but they're just so common that they completely defeat the purpose of an avatar, i.e. something relatively distinct to identify you by.

I don't hate MLP. I'm just am not interested in it. What I do hate is people spamming pictures of it everywhere when it?s not even relevant to the discussion. But then I hate most meme's not MLP specifically.
This is my biggest problem with the haters.Dom Kebbell said:
Just because people watch shows with a young target audience doesn't make them pedophiles.
If I were to watch a show aimed at an elderly audience, would that mean I want to have sex with elderly people? No. And you wouldn't assume that it would either. You would think nothing of it. The media just saturates everybody's brain with fear of sex offenders and in return we get discrimination.
The only time I see Pony threads are when either HATERS or CURIOUS people make them. You guys WANT to hate on Ponies, so YOU bring it up. (the above statements are generalizations)
Those generations were made by completely different people. Its no Hasbro that makes the show. They just make the toys and hire people to make a show(commercial) for it.Echo136 said:
This time the creators actually made something that's watchable by everyone.
Here's one of the new commercials for the show.
Could you post a link for that? A fellow brony would like to take a look around.Pinkamena said:
Anyway, I have the feeling it's hated so much is because it's a kids show. BUT, just a guess.
Lauren Faust is pretty awesome. ^-^Amphoteric said:Lauren Faust would disagree with you...

"its become like the Powerpuff Girls- a cartoon with female protagonists, but fair game for everybody." nah, that's still a cartoon for little girls, don't get me wrong nothing was funnier to me as a child than hear hearing Mojoe Joe Joe say his name but my mum isn't going to gain anything other than boredom from watching either that or MLP.Erana said:
I have seen about half an episode before I condemned it to "childish fad", I very highly doubt there is anything more than pretty colours and whimsical characters.
It just sounds like loads of people trying to make something sound cool and deep where there is nothing like that to be had, like an art critique claiming a black canvas with a white dot in it shows passion and depth about how it symbolizes the meaning of life ... or some crap like that. It's a just a black piece of paper with a dot of the opposite colour in it, any moron putting no thought into could do that but I am rambling now.
It's partly due to market oversaturation. For anyone who doesn't care about My Little Pony, when the craze began earlier this year it got annoying very fast being bombarded by about 5 threads a day asking whats the deal with ponies, and another 5 discussing assinine show related stuff. Add to that the pictures (some of which were generally funny, but like all memes they get old the third or forth time you see them, and by the tenth time you begin to hate seeing them.)
It's the same with any piece of media, look at how Deadpool is now viewed: if a Deadpool movie came out a few years ago there would have been many hardcore fans raving about how awesome it was and how great a character he is, but if one came out now they would be the people complaining about how they are sick of seeing Deadpool, because he pops up everywhere now, and the novelty of the character has been lost by seeing him rehashed so many times.
Long story short: The craze came out of nowhere, quite aggressively forcing everyone to partake in their memes and in-jokes, so to show their unwillingness to take part people react with an equally extreme bent to hate on the show.

Past generations were aimed for little girls, yeah, but this new series is made by entirely different people.Echo136 said:
This new generation is nothing like the old ones.

I don't hate it, and I'm not knocking anyone who enjoys the show and it's little ponies (hell, I have a good friend on Xbox Live who can't get enough of the show), but for me, it's over-saturation. Much like Touhou Project, it's everywhere, but at least one won't get laughed at and be called mean names since it's obvious that MLP is a cartoon (whereas to the average person looking at a bunch of Touhou stuffs, chances are they'd think it was an anime instead of a game).
Couple that with me not having any interest in the show whatsoever, and after a while it starts to get overbearing. Again, I'm not knocking anyone who enjoys the show - I'm simply going to be quiet, turn the other way, and go the fuck on about my business.
