I know there are many different opinions about MLP and I want to know what the registered users here at Armor Games think.
If you are against MLP please don't spam or post extremely rude remarks. Comments like "Bronies are f***ing ***s!!!" will be flagged.
I personally like MLP. Brohoof? /)

Brony isn't a gender specific word


Female fans are Pegasisters

I'm aware of this mockery of the name..it tries to separate the community instead of keeping them together.

This. It's insane how some people find they enjoy My Little Pony and immediately react by saying "no girls allowed!" It's utterly insane.

Anyway, because of new people and stuff I'll repeat some facts (facts, mind you) about MLP.

1. Friendship is Magic is a good show, actually.
2. Bronies only liked MLP because of FiM.
3. I liked ponies before FiM.
4. That makes me not a brony, technically.
5. That makes me better than other people.
6. Season 1 was good and 2 was okay.
7. Season 3 was horrible.
8. Fluttershy is the worst pony.

I have never gotten why it is so popular? What makes it so attractive to the bronies ?

But brohoof is cool //)

Xzeno and I talked about this literally on this page.

Sorry for reviving a long-dead thread but, considering it was only back on the second page, making a new one would have been just as bad.

I recently started watching FiM and I must say that it is an absolute masterpiece of children's TV (although I'm only partway through season 2 and I know what people say about season 3 so I might have to take that compliment back at some point).

Say what you want (girls TV v boys TV or children's TV v adult's TV etc) but MLP is a wonderful example of /any/ sort of TV program done right. It targets the primary demographic well but also manages to attract a demographic who's pretty much right on the other side of the spectrum.

It also occurred to me, since I started watching MLP, that it's often the simplest messages that can impact us the most. I mean, really, I can sit through some graphic and in-depth war film and see hundreds of people get mowed down and not feel a thing - but the way MLP is written (and the issues it addresses) manages to elicit an emotional reaction from me almost every episode.

I don't really like it, even though I never watched it. It just sounds too... Girly. (Please don't start saying "How could you not like MLP?" or "I can't believe you don't like MLP!".).

I would say that, if you've never seen something, you should withhold making a full judgement on it. MLP really avoids falling into a lot of the awful tropes associated with girls' TV (making it all about boys and make-up and gossip and all that yucky stuff).
