For almost all of the responses against it, please look at the following image. This is Lauren Faust herself responding to a message she got:

There are those who don't like the show because they've watched more than just the first 2 episodes, and still don't like it. If you've watched any of episode 3 onwards, and still don't like it, then I've got no beef with you.
But those who are just spouting uninformed opinions on the show because they think it'll be like the previous generations of MLP, then complain because we're trying to at least get them to give it a shot, or to stop commenting on it? I mean... Really?
Tell me WHY, and i want a good reason, WHY I WOULD WATCH THE SHOW AT ALL.
AT ALL.
You say my argument is invalid because i havent watched the show- my argument is that noone other than the little girls the show is made for SHOULD HAVE WATCHED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Mabie you have to be High or really, really drunk to understand it.
Did... Did you not read from the image I posted at all before responding?
Lauren Faust, one of the main driving forces behind the latest generation in its entirety, stated that "I didn't create this show for little girls, I created it for little girls and their parents -- including
male parents. It only stands to reason that adult animation fans without children may like it, too."
So your statement that "noone other than the little girls the show is made for SHOULD HAVE WATCHED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE" is wrong, because the show is not
just made for little girls.
I'm not saying you should watch the show at all. I'm saying that if you're going to comment on the show, at least watch any episode past (and including) episode 3 the whole way through.
I say
that, because while episode 1 and 2 are pretty good once you're already a fan, they're not the best episodes to introduce someone to the series with, because they have a rather different feel to them, and thus aren't really good to introduce people to the series with because they don't really present the series in the right way.
It's the same as the fact that you wouldn't really take a comment about a show you like, from another person who has never seen any episode from the show, seriously.
E.g. Think about a show/movie/whatever you really like, and a lot of other people do, too. Right? Okay. Now imagine that every time you bring it up, I started going up to you, and anyone around you, and stated that the show is terrible. Truly, honestly terrible. You then ask if I've seen that show at all. I say no, but keep spouting what I'm saying as if it were in any way an objective fact. I'm not saying this would colour your opinion of me, but surely that would bug you a little if I did this every time you brought up a good show that you liked?
You misundestand me. I never said the show was Terrible. I IMPLIED it. I cant state the show is horrible- as you say, i havent seen it- and at NO POINT have i said i have.
WHAT I AM SAYING is that from face value, which, to anything in this world, is most important, this show is NOT sutable for any self respecting person above the age of 8.
Ill say that again;
This show is NOT sutable for any self respecting person above the age of 8.
Understand?
I didnt say ive watched it (God Forbid)
I havent said its horrible (I implied it)
And in addition, you state
"So your statement that "noone other than the little girls the show is made for SHOULD HAVE WATCHED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE" is wrong, because the show is not
just made for little girls."
So, i either need to be a Little girl, or a married man watching the show WITH a little girl?
How many people on here fill those two roles? I think the idea behing Whats-Her-Face's message is that
1) your a little girl
2) your a parent of said little girl watching the TV show together.
NOT
a 20 year old dude sitting at his computer watching it alone. Coz thats what i think most of you are doing.
Terribly sorry. That example was more meant as a general example for some people in this thread. I didn't articulate that, and I apologise.
If you would (to make it an example more directed for you individually), please assume I said in my example that I
implied that the show/movie/whatever you like is terrible/horrible, then.
For your sake (and to remain on-topic), I'm going to ignore the fact that you just stated that the for everything in this world, it's most important to be judged by what is shown at face value, because that's not what we're here to discuss... You can't just state that it's the most important thing, and then not back it up. If you do,
then I'll provide some points against it. Until then, there's really no need for me to, since I can just say "No, it's actually not the most important thing, but until more points are provided either way then this is all just subjective chitter-chatter, and has no real place here".
"So, i either need to be a Little girl, or a married man watching the show WITH a little girl?"
I'm not actually sure how you got that from what Faust said, apart from possibly purposefully mis-reading what she's stated... From what she said, it was implied that basically any person who is an animation fan, including teen/adult males, can enjoy it. Y'know, when she plainly stated that "It only stands to reason that adult animation fans without children may like it, too."
Which is not what you've said. And since I've posted that twice (in my previous post, and the post before that in the picture), I can only assume you either keep missing it (entirely understandable ^_^ ), or are purposefully ignoring that part. I'm hoping it's merely the former.
