You win again, internet.

So I finally gave in and watched MLP. AND IT WAS AWESOME. Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash are badasses, Pinkie Pie is friggin' NUTS, and Fluttershy is ADORABLE(and this is coming from a 6'3" 210 pound guy. CUDDLES ALL AROUND!)

This requires one simple question: WHY?

Answer: Good writing. Lauren Faust, you are forgiven for the Foster's incident...

And so goeth my first blog, essentially the same as a thousand other posts on the matter... Late to the party as usual. :rolleyes:

The only people who buy into it are twatty 15 year olds who think they're so funny on the internet. It's essentially a meme for hipsters, and hipsters deserve to go in a meat grinder.[/quote]
I [slightly] disagree. I think MLP is just something that sprang up because of 4chan (and after some research, apparently that is the reason), and therefore every teen on the internet watches it and uses the meme. Really, it's basically like any other meme, but because this is so new it's not a surplus, it will die down eventually, but always be here.

Except 4chan is fully of twatty hipsters and thus the meme isn't funny.

What exactly is a "hipster" anyway?

Someone who likes what Guild doesn't.

But still I wouldn't call MLP a meme. People enjoy the show. I don't really care much for it (although I did really like Discord)

Not trying to be offensive, but it's funny seeing someone with a Haruhi avatar and sig say this.

[quote name='p1ngpong' post='3911373' date='Sep 30 2011, 02:43 PM']But its pony this, pony that, pony avatars, pony sigs[/quote]
Everything else, I can agree with, but being annoyed at someone's avatar/sig for having MLP:FiM in it is just silly

And with that, I'm done~
 
So basically they're trolls and bandwagoners...We have quite a few on the temp, then.

Eh? That post was more of a joke, but Haruhi isn't exactly aimed at young girls. (certainly not to the extent that MLP is)
 
Will never watch that stuff... its too... UGH. You know? But to each is his/her own...

EDIT: @ the post above: Haruhi is typically aimed at teenage males and females. Its not a big one with younger kids (most 10 year olds and under enjoy Naruto and the like... ugh) My 14 year old sister loves the series, and I do as well.

There's nothing more manly then a show about girls going to school.

But in all seriousness I didn't know you were joking. Sorry about that~

But still, to judge a show just because of it's target audience is quite silly.

It's cool. (It wasn't a COMPLETE joke. ;))

I don't hate MLP by any means, there's just a bunch of stuff I'd rather be watching/doing as I said before. I don't particularly like the meme though. (Another forum I go on recently had an infestation)
 
Yeah... If you go on knowyourmeme and look up MLP, it seems 4Chan pretty much got flooded with threads by bronies. I TRULY hope that doesn't happen here.

Oh and speaking of Haruhi... Watching the 2nd season finally.
The endless eight SUCKS.
 
Sweet fuck, my first blog post and I end up with Pingy, Guild, Raul, and a half-dozen members brawling it out over 4 pages? Holy shit 0.o'

Regardless, I care not what others may think; MLP is hardly God-tier. but I enjoy it just the same. Yes, 4chan may have helped spread it, but I actually first found out about it IRL. Big shock, I know...

Well if it had a huge fanbase then it couldn't be a cult classic as it would have more than a cult following warrants [for].

It's definitely not a cult classic. Evil Dead is a cult classic. My Little Pony is just fucking retarded and is only enjoyed by fuckwads and dipshits.

I watched like two episodes of it and found no humor in it. Not even some innuendos or references. Just really shit girl humor.

A cult classic refers to something that was initially unpopular, but eventually gained a cult following (a small but dedicated fanbase).

MLP:FiM clearly doesn't match that at all.

That's been the point the entire time.

MLP is probably the worst meme to ever grace 4chan. And that's saying something.
 
Meh, that was rather uncharacteristic of me.

I don't really have an opinion on the matter, not yet, at least.
