Why people obsess over it, though? I can't answer for them.

>Now I have to ask, what is it about watching a show made for pre-pubescent girls that gives you such a raging hard-on?
I find it interesting that you associate pre-pubescent girls with hard-ons.

>>86770
go watch a couple episodes

>>86822

I'm just making the connect where I see it. You all have boners for a show made for little girls.

"It's not for you!" is not, on the face of it, an argument against liking something.

That the show is still entertaining for people outside of its target demographic is ironically one aspect of what makes it so appealing. It's just a well-executed quality show that does a good job of transcending its' genre-defined limitations. Against that, "others won't understand" is not a strong counter-argument.

>>86770
lurk moar

>eff, messed up the post the first time.

Personally, it's the first show I've seen in a while where the characters aren't just differentiated by why you're supposed to hate them. It actually has a group of likeable developed characters.

I couldnt read past:

When you sit on Ventrilo with 15 other close friends while laughing at a cartoon and enjoying drinks together, you realize that My Little Pony is more than a cartoon—it’s a community event that in its simplest form brings smiles to all of our faces.

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU FUCKING FREAKS?

>>86913

Ahh the days of denial.

>>86913
You've never watched TV with other people? Those sick fucks, honestly. Watching a show together.

to me it's like a man eating ice cream.

niggas be hating but fuck them, i like ice cream.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3UidFxqaqM
have some appropriate, though somewhat on a tangent, comedy stand up

sagereportandmovealong because

>>86913

That, anon, would be "happiness with friends"
It's a foreign concept to you, I know.

Oh my god, I cant believe this guy
How many times are you going to post THE SAME EXACT THREAD. People have given reasons why they like the show, you knock away ecah one mindlessly.
End of story, posting again and again isnt going to get another reaction

Trolling, no effort is being made to engage with the answers given, ignore thread.

>>86936

You're not together? You're on fucking Ventrilo!

Can you honestly look me in the face and tell me that if you met a normal, cute girl in a bar, you would be in a hurry to tell her you watch MLP, on Vent, laughing and drinking with 15 other nerds, over the internet?

Would you fuck.

>>86807

OK after reading these articles you can, at best, claim that this show is designed with adolescents in mind, but it is still at its core a little girl show.

So you are still a bunch of fags.

>>86987

As expected, no comeback.

>>86987
I guess? I think you might have confidence or self-image problems if you think that type of thing would make people worth worrying about think so much less of you.

>>86987

Upon meeting anyone in a bar, would you mention how you gather together regularly with friends to watch anything on TV?

>>86987
>implying you ever actually met a cute girl in a bar

>>87094

>>87094

I would much more likely mention that than saying I sit ALONE in my house, talking to 15 people I'VE NEVER MET, watching a CHILDREN'S CARTOON.

"Hey babe, come back to my place, let me just go in first to, er, hide my MLP figurines"

>>87130

Obviously I'm being hypothetical, but by enjoying this shit, you're pretty much giving up on ever having a girl in your life.

>>87094
I have some jock friends that do that talking about soccer.

It's so cancerous even the girls have started pretending they are interested in football.

>>87094

Yes, I might talk about how I get together with friends to watch sports or when I'm chilling with friends we might watch films or TV shows that are made for people over the age of 5.

>>87167
>Obviously I'm being hypothetical
You can't imagine how much.

>>87179
It is true and it is as boring as it sounds. IRL bitches have no real standarts you know.

>>87167
Because there are no geeky girls? lolol. I wouldn't be interested in a girl who thought this type of thing was too geeky and ridiculous anyway.

I have a couple of gamer friends on Facebook and I feel so fucking embarrassed for them when they post brony status updates and pictures. Do you have any idea how warped you look?

>>87232

I don't expect that anyone who watches MLP has the remotest clue about how women work, so I am not taking anything that is said by 'bronies' about women seriously.

>>87245

Enjoy being forever alone.

I keep thinking that they developed as a subculture from a subculture within Nerd culture.

>>87140
>watching a CHILDREN'S CARTOON.
or posting in a site notorious for being a training ground for domestic terrorists where shitloads of bad tasted porn (including cartoon-porn and child porn) are posted

/thread

The thing I really have trouble understanding is the VOLUME of bronies there are. this isnt just some niche thing shared in the darkest corners of the intarwebz, this shit is everywhere.

>>87273
I've been watching MLP for a less than a year.

I've been fucking hoes for more than 6 years.

Not anywhere near being Casanova, but I think your argument is kinda stale, kid.

A lot of bronies get in for the community more than for the show. It's a giant hugbox bandwagon, really.

>>87308

>implying that everyone who visits /b/ actually likes cartoon and child porn. This is the stupidest argument ive ever seen, wouldn't expect any more from a brony tbh.

Has it occurred to you that I may simply visit /b/ because I enjoy the laugh / lose and meme culture sort of threads? Sorry im not a domestic terrorist or poster of CP.

/unthread

>>87343
Most cases, like facebook, are people being ironic. Not that you insecure autists taking internet as srz buziness would know what that means.

OP, just go watch ponies if you care so much about why people like it, you faggot.
Otherwise, stop asking questions that you are gonna ignore anyway.

>>87432
That's exactly the point of the post you were replying to. (Or as I understood it anyway.)

Very simple, OP. Because MLP isn't shit. :9

It's crack.

>>86910
I hate it when other MLP fans casually shit on all my other favorite cartoons like this.

Also you're implying the ponies aren't flawed and annoying sometimes and that Rarity and Dash aren't the biggest cunts in the universe.

>>87432
Try explaining that to the cute girl in the bar.

>>87432
>Has it occurred to you that I may simply visit /b/ because I enjoy the laugh / lose and meme culture sort of threads?
You mean, the cancerous threads that have ruined /b/?
Enjoy being a shitposter, go back to reddit.

>>87503
This is the pony fandom in a nutshell, OP. Outcast faggots desperate for somewhere to belong.

>>87490
>I hate it when other MLP fans casually shit on all my other favorite cartoons like this.

>>87490
I'm not one for cartoons usually, so I don't have a great knowledge of many. That doesn't change that the characters and interactions between them in MLP aren't well developed. Also, Rarity and Dash do have their flaws but they (usually aren't) their defining characteristics.

>>87569
No, I'm talking about their tendency to offhandedly say that poneponepone is the only good cartoon ever when it's just a pretty good cartoon with plenty of flaws of its own.

>>87506
You really think the people who post here are the type who go to bars to pick up girls?

This thread sucks.
let's talk about how awesome rainbow dash is

>>87573
Fuck I'm just derping my posts constantly. "aren't" shouldn't be in ( ) there.

>>87623
I was mainly trying to compare MLP to non-cartoons too. I used to love House for exmaple, but it seems like every single character is an idiot you're supposed to hate. MLP is refreshingly uncynical.

I've seen animus with less blatant sameface than MLP.

>>87506

All I know is the cute girls in bars have all liked meme pages on Facebook. I know its cancer but every time I log into Facebook i'm seeing cute girls liking memes like advice dog, Y U NO and Scumbag Steve. What I Guarantee you will NEVER see, is any girl embracing this complete and utter shit.

>>87623
Objectively MLP is just slightly flashit, but the characters are very well handled on their simplicity and the script without being genius has the that heart-warming traditional slapstick-cartoon feel.

Basically it's a cesspool of shit franchise producing a glittering pearl. It's not the best but it's was so unexpectedly good that it's considered miraculous.

>>87777
It's quads so it must be true.

>>86814
News flash: Most people don't understand the appeal. OP is speaking for the majority of people, not just normalfags. Even /a/ is baffled. You should be happy they're trying to reach out instead of shit on your board.

To be perfectly honest, ponyfags kind of have it easy. They were never treated nearly as bad as furfags were in the early days of the internet. Well I guess if you guys start dressing up in pony suits and masturbate in public areas, you might start getting some shit.

Liking a TV show =/= purposeless fetishism.

>>87777
>cute girls in bars
You do not belong here.

>>87777
I already know several female bronies so your point is invalid. Try harder.

>>87777
Never? Well that is just factually wrong. I don't think there are any geeky girls I know who don't watch MLP.

>>87897

Absolutely no shred of evidence to back that up, so no need to try harder. Your "point" is bullshit.

>>87886
Its a mix. Like how /vp/ is pokeymans but also some fetishists. Don't shit up your thing by doing what furfags do: accept that some of you are perverts and don't deny it. Doesn't mean all of you are.

>>87886
>implying a good 75% of the fags on this board aren't creepy motherfuckers who fap to rainbow ponies.

inb4 BUT THE SILENT MAJORITY

Did you guys know that Rainbowdash is pretty much 120% kickass?
>mfw OP associates watching an animated children's show with fapping to animated cartoons having sex

>>87897
He might live in one of those Eastern Europoor countries where all girls are dyed blonde bimbos thinking that internet = facebook.

I live in one of these.

>>87939

Im not even talking about those who fap to it. That is another league altogether.

>>86770
>what is it about watching a show made for pre-pubescent girls that gives you such a raging hard-on?

it dosn't give anyone a hard-on. ....okay, maybe 0r0, but he's an odd one.
Why do you like dubstep? Why do you like posting on the internet?

Why is there a need to justify liking a show?

>>87928
I'm supposed to prove I know girls who like MLP? lolol I'm sorry you don't know any interesting geeky girls.

Did you guys know that Rainbowdash is pretty much 120% kickass?
>mfw OP associates watching an animated children's show with fapping to cartoon animals having sex

>>87956
>mfw its an observable trait of your shitty fandom that takes just a glance at the front page to see

I think I'd like this show more if they were human instead of anthro animals. I tried hard I really did, its just not for me at all. I'm from /a/ though, so it can't be helped.

>>87939
Yeah just like /b/ never actually fapped to any of the shit posted there >for teh lulz.

>>87999

Most fans of the show seem to hate the fandom, it happens.

>>86807

we need a new sticky thread to link every condescending buck who asks this same question to read these first

>>87976
But it DOES give MANY people a hard on. I'm sure you're not sexually disturbed, but a lot of you fucking are. Jesus.

Why do we humor these threads? Can't we just let them die? I'm so tired of being expected to explain myself to some dick like OP.

>>87999
>mfw its an observable trait of this shitty website we're all using that a lot of the faggots here fap to CP and gore.
Therefore since you and I are included in the frequent use of 4chan, we're now guaranteed sick fucks who fap to that shit?
Also nice trips bro

The ones that really creep me the fuck out are the guys who replace all their nouns with pony and call their hands hoofs.

I'm convinced if it were wordfiltered half the faggots here would be doing it. It's the same as furries and their yiffmurrpaw shit

>>88048
Because if you bury them and ignore people trying to reach out you're just going to get a flood of trolling and shit posts. Its better to contain it in one thread from time to time. Besides, you have nothing to hide right?

>>88038
I suppose it has something to do with the combination of buttcracks and moe.

Well, as a kid, I secretly watched Power Puff Girls, so.... MLP ain't much of a strech for me. I think it's funny, but it ain't no Dan VS.

>>88038
>many people

find one aside from 0r0.

>>88094
Maybe if you browse /b/. I don't

It doesn't surprise me a ponyfag would though. You guys have always been prone to bandwagon popularity hopping

>>88109

I have nothing to hide, but you know as well as I do that OP will NEVER believe that. So I don't see a reason to waste my time.

i admit at first i was that guy, talking shit and whatnot, (i would even purposely drop the MLP boxes at toys r us hoping to fuck up the merchandise [im so sorry ;_;] but then one day after work i smoked a bowl and put it on and it instantly sucked me in. it's a cute show and the themes and idk it's just that good and it was something refreshing and a nice change of pace from what i would be doing before that, which was watching the news and depressing myself even more than i already am.
tl;dr: mlp was a much needed light in my dark life and it's ok for people to like stuff, weird huh?

>>88156
Everyone I've ever spoken to personally that uses this website associates 4chan with general scumbaggery and fucked up porn. That just seems to be the general consensus, same as your argument about no woman you've ever met liking MLP

>>88151
John Joseco posts porn. Shipping and "saucy" stuff is regularly posted to EqD, and the bloggers there openly display their love for sexy trixie and wet mane rarity and shit like that. I'm a brony who's not into that shit, and yet I see it all the time.
