It started out as a mild dislike of Ponies. We all know how this goes.
And then, I started joking around, attempting to troll people in my close circles for the lulz.
Then, I made a fatal mistake. I watched a few episodes two weeks ago. The damage has been done. FOREEEVEEEEEER!
How far have I gone? Confound these Ponies. They make me write fanfiction loosely based on Les Miserables espousing the power of love and friendship. There is no saving me. Run. Save yourselves. It's too late for me, BUT NOT FOR YOU!!! YOU CAN ESCAPE!!! RUN!!! RUN I SAY!!!
*crash*
...There is nothing wrong. Ponies are fantastic, phenomenal animals who bring nothing but peace and friendship. Do not run. You will be made friendlier. You will be like us. You too shall become Bronies and Pegasisters. Why would you wish to resist such a lovely fate? Come, live in Ponyville with your friends!

I wait for the day when fans of this show can carry themselves and show their appreciation for it in a fashion that doesn't fall into total obnoxiousness.
-
Now that you mention it there's a pony wave going on Deviant Art lately, is there a new pony show or what?
I use to watch the Pony's cartoon as a kid but nowadays I'm more inclined to unicorns

One of the key factors to its unexpected success was Lauren Faust, that much I know.

I do. That's the problem. Bringing this thing up nonpartially is exceedingly difficult when the fandom's most annoying and creepiest aspects are so all-pervasive in popular perception. It colours people's impressions negatively about it, barring any real familiarity with the subject taking place, even if there's casual interest involved.

Having a sense of humor doesn't require rational thinking. It's an emotion like the others. Emotions aren't ground in logistics. In fact logic is what spoils a good laugh at times. I would know. But the post intro was funny to read and I myself had seen one of the Mlp episodes. There are a lot of rebooted 80's cartoons that have been coming out recently. I guess down the line we will eventually see reboots of Rainbow Bright, Gem and Lady Lovelylocks. It wouldn't surprise me in the least anyways.
-
Like most things from 4chan, I neither get the humor nor appeal.
-
Better watch out. People have different sense of humor. This is how wars start.
-
I mean, I agree with Puwexil. I just don't get why people think they have to be obnoxious, and, well, kind of creepy about how much they love that show. I've met casual fans, but I guess those that throw it in your face without invitation are the ones that define the fanbase, and that's the real tragedy. They really don't help me understand the allure of the show.
-
I guess I should clarify that I don't think Haman-sama is creepy or anything like that, since even he rejected the show before becoming absorbed into its world. I'm talking about the more extreme types.
-
Apparently you young'n's are too young to remember this once highly-popular fad, which is what this thread reminds me of:

-
It's honestly hard for me to define what I like best about the show, but here's a list of some things that I like about it:
- The writing reminds me of cartoons I grew up with
- The animation is better than other cartoons currently on air, and carries a distinct feel
- Much like Azumanga Daioh, the voice acting really helps create and sell the characters' personalities
- Each story carries with it a relevant lesson or message
- The slapstick, while rare, is executed exceedingly well
It's a well crafted show that isn't merely a glorified toy commercial. And it's made my Hasbro. How about that? XD
-
I agree that Hasbro has a thing going on with their reboots. I didn't bother with their dozens of transformers series, but I watched GI JOE Resolute. As a mini-mini-series, it was actually quite good. You didn't even have to like the 80's toys to appreciate it, as it stands quite well on its own grounds.
-
I've seen a couple of episodes myself, and it's definitely not a bad cartoon. My issues with it stem from the fanbase betraying the quality of the show itself. While that is usually the case with anything at all, here it's just so in your face that it puts me off from wanting to watch any more of it.

HEY! I love that avatar.

Yup. It's the whackjobs who think they're going to marry Fluttershy or are the reincarnation of Applejack or stuff like that that ruin the reputations of the legitimately sane fans.Like me.
Which is an absolute shame, because from a soon-to-be-animation major's standpoint, the show's got its own unique style that really defines its personality, especially if you consider that they usually have only a week to make an episode. Many shows do this, yes, but the amount of detail, especially with the very little things and references and innuendos, that the producers use really define the quality of the show in its given timeslot limits.
-

Oh god I hate those people. Yes, I'm a TEENSY bit obsessive about the show, but honestly, those nutjobs give guys like us a bad name.

There's a difference, and a BIG one at that, between people like you and I (I'm assuming you're like me on this note, correct me if I'm wrong), who know a lot, if not all, about the show and characters, and will not hesitate to make a reference to Zap Apples if the situation calls for it. That's about the extent of my fandom, so you're not going to see me in a Pinkie costume running around a con squealing about kumqwats. See? Obscure episode reference that is appropriate to the situation. Ta-da!
-
I'll lob the appropriate reaction image/video on occasion (though admittedly I am tempted to do it for everything), and I've got a few apps for it, but honestly...
-
Personally, I just take these nutcases with a grain of salt and laugh at them. After all, every fandom has their own hilariously obsessive vocal minorities that give them a bad name, right? What really matters is how you present yourself as part of the fandom.
-
I do try to take things in stride, because as you say, every fandom has a crazy minority.
I just wish they made it a bit easier.
On a slight change of topic, my favorite character is is either Fluttershy or Pinky Pie. Hard to tell. Fluttershy is just sweet, but Pinky Pie is absolutely random and crazy, and personifies my sense of humor at it's most manic.
-
The ones that really get to me are the Hidden Badass types. That alone should be more than enough to tell you who it is.
-
Always great when a pony suffers a nervous breakdown. Of course, Fluttershy's is rightly famous.
Great compilation from season 1:
My Little Pony: Mental Breakdowns (Season 1) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD2rV1CfQjo#ws)
EDIT:
Best comment on that video breaks it down succinctly:
Twilight Sparkle: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Rarity: Narcissism
Apple Jack: Insomnia
Fluttershy: Intermittent Explosive Disorder
Rainbow Dash: Acute Anxiety Disorder
Pinkie Pie: Schizophrenia

Dear God, Party of One was creepy. And this is coming from the guy who has a morbid attraction to the murderously insane. :-X
Of course, Lesson Zero has that one beat once you take Season 2 into account.

Although I think Dracula would be difficult to do as a pony since I can only see him as being a War Horse :o

What kind of fanworks? Trust me, I've seen enough porn of everything to last me for 10 lifetimes, I don't need to see MLP porn. x_x;;
-
I cannot speak for all my fellow Bronies and Pegasisters, obviously, but I'm writing a fanfiction loosely adapted from Les Miserables concerning the message of redemption and looking beyond past misdeeds. There's a pretty prolific fanfiction community out there, I've found, and while there are some real sickos who dip into the inevitable Rule 34 well, most of it is good-natured and tries to carry on the spirit and style of the show.
-
The plague has spread even further, though the ponies had been around even when I was a small child. There was no silly fan club for it back then because there was no internets like there are now.
-
When I was a toddler, I had a VHS of the 80's my little pony. It was about finding horseshoes or something to cure a sick pony.
Also Bloodreign you're like the Prince of Prunyuu Ponies and you know it.
-
I remember seeing my first MLP meme and the first thought in my head was "what the fuck this shit is back again?!"
-
Most of the stuff I heard about MLP is from 4chan trolls calling True Capitalist Radio and trolling its Texan host, known only as "Ghost". For those of you who never heard of him, he's a conservative Texan radio broadcaster who talks about politics and economy, often expressing libertarian (I think?) political views.
4chan trolls often ridicule him to the max, often causing him outbursts of extreme rage and homophobia.
Watch it. Hilarity ensured.

There was some guy in the comments saying that Ghost faked his rage and it was an attempt at trollbaiting. Still, it was extremely funny even if the reaction was faked.

The Internet has failed me. I tried to see if there was any Troll doll porn. Rule 34 apparently has exceptions.

Posted this to my LJ originally, but this thread seems like it'll be a good spot for it too:
Y'all know I'm not a brony, though I do have a bunch of bronies as friends. Nothin' against you guys, but as I mentioned before, I find the whole thing kind of weird. Not today, though. This time, I got your backs all the way...at least if it means we'll be on the same side, against the feminists. Check this comment thread out:
http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/29122.html?thread=130188738#t130188738 (http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/29122.html?thread=130188738#t130188738)
See, it illustrates something I've felt in my own life--about feminism, to an extent, but maybe women in general:
You just can't win.
No matter what you do, you just can't win.
I mean, if guys didn't watch My Little Pony, most of these "good ladies" would scream about "heteronormativity" and how "HURR IF YOU WERE REALLY SECURE IN YOUR MASCULINITY YOU'D BE JUST FINE WATCHING MLP!" But what happens when guys actually start watching the god damn show? 'HURRRR BRONIES STOP ~*APPROPRIATING*~ A SHOW FOR LITTLE GIRLS! DURRR!"
Heads they win, tails you lose. Just as in so many other areas of life when it comes to women. Shy? "MAKE THE FIRST MOVE YOU UNMANLY COWARD!" Assertive? "OMG STOP MAKING ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE!" Virgin? "TEEHEEHEE LOSER!" Stud? "OMG DOUBLE STANDARDS SO MISOGYNISTIC! STOP OBJECTIFYING WOMEN U RAPPER--I MEAN RAPIST!" At this stage in my life, I ask myself, "what the hell is the point?" And more and more I get the feeling there isn't one.
Well, you know what? In this case, at least, I know what I'm gonna do. I may not watch MLP, I may have no idea what you guys see in the show, but screw it. If I have to choose between you and the STRONG WOMYN BRIGADE, I'll take you every day of the week. Rock on, bronies. "Appropriate" the hell out of that show with my full approval.

I think Godzilla would wipe the floor with all of them. He's as tall as a skyscraper, breaths radioactive blue fire and is virtually indestructible. And if you hit him with a nuclear weapon when he's down for the count, he gets his energy back and the s**t starts all over again.

Or they just plain hate mind rapists. :P
That, or they were actually expecting you to mind rape the ponies into madness or villainy instead of, you know, having Godzilla eat them.
-
So I recently found out there's this new(ish) villainess out there named Queen Chrysalis. Her entire gimmick is that she traps the heroes in cocoons of glowing green goo and they hatch as perverse corrupted caricatures of themselves
Which sounds amazing, except for the fact she's from My Little Pony
