Its pretty stupid.

If you like ponies, cool.
Like making custom stories about them, cool.
If you're a four-headed alien with 12 fingers, that's nice.
Stop complaining about what people like and judging them. Just ignore it and don't play the stories. Problem solved.
These threads are like if you wore a pink shirt to school, and everyone that knew you posted a new status on Facebook or whateverthefuck about how stupid pink shirts are and "OMG WHY DO PEOPLE WEAR THEM?" it's insulting.

I guess I don't get it.Basically it's men who hasn't figured out women yet. They think they'll get into panties by having something in common with girls, "forever alone", et.c..
An interest of a show designated to little children and family suddenly makes you in common with girls?
...Please, don't make me laugh.
Testosterone has nothing to do with this either; that's just looking for an excuse to hate.

To explain, most people immediately cringe at, so to say, "cute". The reason for the show for being so popular, is because one of the producers was Lauren Faust. She was in the production of the Power Puff Girls and The Fosters Home of Imaginary Friends.
The shows writing is awesome, they have laughable jokes, and it's nothing like the other mindless cartoons on TV these days.
It shows genuine effort. It's nothing like the other generations... Nothing like the horrid... G3.5....
True, most bronies go a bit, TOO far; yet I don't mind them.
I think I wasted too much time posting this.

A flood of obnoxious and retarded pony pictures is always annoying, but the only time I hated MLP was when I forced myself to actually watch the pilot episode, so that people wouldn't accuse me of being ignorant of the show.
You've abandoned manliness, and given me all the girls to mate with. I don't hate you - I'm grateful. Thank you.

But, go ahead, you would of gotten the girls even if I didn't watch the show. I have always been undecided and asexual.But, I guess I can agree, ponies appearing 24/7 is pretty annoying. Plus, only watching one or two episodes isn't very good to judge on. Try watching some of the better and/or funnier episodes, like "Party of One", "Lesson Zero", or the season 2 opener and finale.
And now, to avoid upsetting anyone any futher, I shall take my leave.

MLP is exactly like Pewdiepie:
Don't hate the show/person, hate the immature/annoying fan base. MLP is just like every other kids show, (Ed Edd & Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Power Puff Girls etc.) they use their pilot to get the show a spot on television, then they expand on the content to appeal to a wider demographic and make more money.
It's how all "kids" shows work. You can't tell how good something is from its first episode. I've watched the first few episodes of MLP, it was funny/cute/whatever, but I rank it no higher than every other show I watch because I'm not one of the mindless/obsessed "bronies" or whatever they're called; I'm too busy tending to my life to obsess over a TV show that hard (no offense to MLP fans).

I watched a few of the first episodes from the first season. Mainly because I loved the PPG when I was a kid, it was kind of nostalgic to watch something from the same creator years later. I don't make any crappy jump scare maps though.
RE: WTF with all the ponies? - Xss - 05-24-2012
I watched a couple of the new MLP episodes and...Well, I simply don't get the hype at all :/
...But Pinkie Pie's No Fear song is way too catchy!

It's part of a NAMBLA campaign.
Or well, NAMGLA.
