No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is.

Remember to spoiler season 6 content, and clearly label your spoilers.

Interesting last few pages, heh. While you can appreciate the characters, morality, and music by themselves, you also have to on some level think the ponies are cute as heck. Why do you think we post pictures? Even before I knew that this was a show, I saw the threads on 4Chan back in the summer and thought it was a ridiculously cute art style. If you don't find it so, then no worries, move on.

Derpy pics are on the right track "Why so serious?" Everyone post a funny pic or gif!

Are all these artworks original, i.e. made specifically for this thread?

So what is Derpy's cutie-mark supposed to be? The bubbles of intoxication or inebriation?

No. People should credit but it's hard when you're posting 20+ images sometimes.

There are a few artists that draw for the thread and they will say that.

I just hope you all understand that there's consequences for publicly liking something like this. I don't personally have anything wrong with what you like and watch. To me its like peoples' sexual interests. I don't care what you like to do in the bedroom, but I would highly recommend against going around with a shirt on that says, "I like to eat girls out while they are on their periods."

Liking something aimed at children like this comes across as very creepy and potentially pedophilic behavior. The fact that there is a good underlying structure doesn't really excuse it. It's like adults who play competitive Pokemon. Yes, they are phenomenal games and no one else makes a similar product (games with identical gameplay and quality). The difference is that other people DO make similar products (shows, music, books) as My Little Pony.

Anything else I have to say on the matter has already been said by the rest of the people in this thread, and C. S. Lewis.

They need to confirm that next. Or just put Derpy Cardcaptor directly into the show.

Hey ponies! Last night, we had a lot of fun playing SC2 in a king of the hill after a showmatch between BloodyNoob and Whitewing, and we should just play some SC2 more often. This morning, while watching IEM Kiev, bitter was talking about making a tournament using old beta maps, so I talked about it a bit in chat, and HoMM seemed interested. (I think everypony else was still asleep) So, how would ppl feel participating in a small Minitourney? (i guess we could call it bronycraft, but I don't want to make anything official, just for fun with old maps)

So anyhow, the map pool would be: Blistering sands, Desert oasis, Kulas ravine, Steppes of War, Delta Quadrant ans Scrap Station(I didn't include Lost temple because Shattered is very similar), where each player eliminates a map to have a bo3 with 4 remaining maps! (Both can decide which is first map, then the loser chooses next map)

So, I suggest the date for this to be Saturday February 4th at 9 PM EST (so 6 PM PST for the godfather of micro). We can still discuss the times and dates of this, just doing this for fun and laughs

If anypony interested in this, say so in thread or PM me in TL or IRC.

Hoping lots of ponies will be interested!

Well, hopefully, the drama is over! Anyhow, I'm bringing this back up. I have no intention of making this a "bronycraft" since I just want to have fun with people playing Starcraft 2. The map pool is to make it more ridiculous and to see how the metagame would play on horrible maps. I understand that many of you would like to play on the GSL map pool, but this isn't the tournament for it! This one is all about having fun with old maps and being ridiculous with it!

Just think of it as a time to have fun with SC2 before Bronycraft 2

Anyhow, list of players interested:
+ Show Spoiler +

ZealotKiller
jinkyu7
AWOT

People mentioning it, but not necessarily interested in participating:
+ Show Spoiler +

GypsyBeast
Rokelha
WhiteWing
SquareWalker

So, for now, the interest isn't too big. I will remention the topic later next week closer to February 4th and mention it on IRC and on the Bestyoungflyers channel on SC2 to see if there is more interest in playing in this

If it doesn't work out, it doesn't, and we will have fun in the next bronycraft!

NA again?

That (not-official) EU tournament never got anywhere, we need some kind of real event soon.

So then it makes me think that you all collectively either like the show because of some sort of bizarre internet-fad herd mentality or you're out to get attention. Those aren't very good traits.

i love the show and watch it every week, but i don't participate in the community or wear MLP things to get attention

what now?

seems like you just can't understand us and it disturbs you

Well unfortunately your quote is completely untrue. If you believe there is a single person out there whose opinion doesn't matter, you are the fool, not me. Especially if that person is in a position of power over you.

I mentioned at work a few days ago that there is a large demographic of Males 18-34 who watch My Little Pony and talk about it obsessively on the internet. A number of people were really freaked out by the idea and immediately jumped to the conclusion that you must all be anti-social man-children with personality disorders or closet pedophiles. I don't like that level of mistrust and othering occurs in our society, but it does at present. You aren't going to be able to make it very far working with others if you constantly other yourself by doing things that are so far 'out there'.

Lol? Why would I run around spouting pony stuff at work? I don't talk about starcraft at work, I don't talk about starcraft when im hanging out with my friends who absolutely give no shit about starcraft... You seem to think everyone is crazy and socially retarded(sorry to use that word, but it fits what he seems to be thinking). Your mentioning of people in a position of power over you is hilarious. Do you tell your boss everything about your life and everything you are interested in? Of course not, odds are, one of those things would be something that particular person thinks is weird/bad/wrong, so why would you tell them?

Also, you seem to think the large majority of fans of the show are just in it for the irony or attention or because bunches of other people are. That may be how it is for some people, but not all of us. I just really freaking like the show and the fact it makes me way happy. I post here every once in a while because it matches up quite well with my like of both SC and MLP. I also have 1 shirt cause its awesome (no, I don't wear it to work like you seem to assume ><).

You also listed all of the seperate things MLP has and how if we wanted one of those we should do something else that has that because it is "better". Why is it better? I disagree, you mention dexter, I find that very meh. I also enjoy having all of those things in one package... I simply don't understand your persistance. Your main line of reasoning seems to be "Other people will think this is weird/wrong and it has some potentially bad social implications". Um, welcome to every hobby out there except the ridiculously mainstream things.

And for reference, I <3 the show due to: Cute, Morals, Innocent(no cussing or crude humor etc etc.), Characters, Escapism (sooooooooo different then most peoples every day life/internet, its like a breath of fresh air). Oh, and it makes me all happy!

Tell ya what, you tell me something you like or are interested in, and I will point you to people or groups of people that will think you are weird/crazy/disturbed because of it.
