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

Well people of little intellect are harmless and have full blown career at Mcdonald's. It doesn't have to be harmful to be a little bit sad.
So people that work at McDonalds have little intellect, and that is sad? At least they are contributing to the society by having a job, something many smart(asses) don't do, which is sadder imo.
<edit>
To clarify, I disagree with that: workplace does not determine whether a person is intelligent or not, and their IQ does not determine wheter they are a good/succesful person or not
Also, what does that have to do with MLP again? So it's sad that people enjoy an optimistic show rather than the pessimistic/death centered media we have nowadays?

Yes matjlav, I would assume that any show centered on a serial murdering detective would draw quite a crowd of a messed up people. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that everyone who watches that show is messed up (that's using Djzapz, PhD logic), but I am saying that there must be something a little off (or just a great deal of desensitization) that appeals to people who enjoy watching murder being peddled on TV.
Err, no, people don't enjoy the show because they like watching people get butchered. Everyone already has plenty of gore flicks for that. People watch it because the storyline and characters are awesome, and Dexter being a serial killer is just what is needed for the show to happen.
If it means anything to you, I absolutely hate slasher/gore flicks in general. I generally can't sit through more than 15 minutes of them. I think the last one I tried to watch was 28 Weeks Later and I couldn't even handle the opening scene because I generally have too much empathy for the characters on screen to watch people get killed in horrific ways. So I'm definitely not "desensitized" as you suggest.
The way Dexter handles the killing scenes is pretty subdued. There are a lot of more violent things to watch if you're looking to get your sadism fix. If you think that Dexter is the most concerning show on TV, then you are seriously misunderstanding the point of the show. You don't even have to sympathize with the title character to enjoy the show.
I'm not saying you have to like it, but in suggesting that there "must be something a little off" you are being exactly like Djzapz, just a little less pronounced.

A 30 year old watches a show designed for little girls? Strange of course. A concern to me.
This generation of MLP is made so that its enjoyable for parents and their children that means 30 year olds <,<.
Some of the jokes made simply blow right over their little heads. You should really take the time to watch more than one episode.
In the end it would be worth it.

Why not use cocaine if the world is pessimist and death centered and you want to avoid it rather than work on it?

Well, ok then. I didn't ask for a picture, but while you're at it you might want to spoiler it.
Also, I need nothing tangible to direct my logical discussion (it's not tangible unless I print it out and stab it since you think I'm so deranged).
@matjlav, I've watched 15 minutes of one episode of Dexter. I was greeted with extreme profanity, nudity and lots of violence. Very sorry if maybe I'm just spewing nonsense about Dexter.

haha, I would retort with the fact that there is a difference between physical harm and a television series (series implies designed to not reveal the full package by watching one episode).

Isn't spreading the show fandom a way to work on it? To have part of the media not dominated by that, isn't that part of the "work" on making it better?
Also, cocaine is illegal and has a lot of health complications, so ponies are better, and cuter. And it won't addict someone on the first use. etc.
<EDIT>
Also, you should really draw a line between your "physical harm" and "psicological harm" ideas, they seem pretty messed up. Liking a show has nothing to do with liking flagellarism. Either way, some people are masochists and even have sexual fetish for that; So what?

You are not seriously comparing destructive drug usage to watching a show about ponies are you? Tell me you aren't seriously comparing a small bite of entertainment to self destructive behavior... yes, yes you are.
Your assumption that watching ponies means we don't "Work on it" is... idiotic. As it happens I spend hours a week doing social service, yet I still enjoy ponies. How does enjoying what is ostensibly a kids show make me a worse person than say watching... game of thrones?
It doesn't.
Frankly this argument is going nowhere, you are convinced we are psychological deviants and nothing anyone says is going to change your mind, so please, keep on rolling with that assumption, but don't try to convince us of our insanity, it isn't going to work.

I don't know, I think your (collective) time could be spent better. MLP should definitely, definitely never replace information. If you stop reading about politics and hearing about what the world is becoming to listen to silly shows that make you smile, then you might as well be a cocaine addict. Be a good citizen of the world!
There's time for entertainment too, but lawd don't make the argument that MLP > the media... Whenever you watch MLP, you're missing out on better entertainment.

Seriously guys? You feed three pages to a guy who just comes in and says "This show is terrible and stupid and all of you have something wrong with you for liking it"? You don't have to prove anything to that kind of person and especially not dedicate so much time.
Anyway, if you want some respectable opinions on the show, it has been reviewed by the AV club.
Also, this little blog post from Naughty Dog's lead designer (Crash Bandicoot, Jak, Uncharted) is one of my favorites as someone who dabbled in game design in college and worked a programming job for a while, and thus experienced many of the same things he talks about in his article. For some reason I thought it got posted earlier.

Never intended to convince anyone. I came here, I was genuinely surprised and I started talking.

So basically you were closeminded towards the episode then, finding no premise to dislike the episode before you even watched it, but still managing to poison your mind hitherto watching the episode because it's a "kid's show". How on Earth do you come to that conclusion? God it's so easy for people to make an argument when then can just make wild assumptions. You can say that about a lot of shows and movies. Bad shows and bad movies... who are you to judge good and bad? How can something enjoyed by anyone be considered bad. I could say every show you watch is bad, how do you accurately argue against this? I can't say "this is 100% proven to be messed up"l, but like everyone, I look at the world and I make judgement. Hmm, a guy plays videogames, that's normal. A girl plays videogames, more uncommon but still normal. A 30 year old watches a show designed for little girls? Strange of course. A concern to me. A 65 year old man likes to stab pictures of people and he enjoys it? Hmmm... Quite a concern. I'd be more concerned for someone who watches Dexter than for someone who watches MLP - I mean, one show is about a serial killer and the other is about ponies and friendship. See the difference? Obviously there is an issue for the "stabber" in your case. But not because he likes doing that - because of the possibility of him wanting to grow this into something actually physical. Ponies are harmless. It's a show about friendship. If there is anything that should scare someone here, is the fact that the world could be a place with less violence if people like the show more. Well people of little intellect are harmless and have full blown career at Mcdonald's. It doesn't have to be harmful to be a little bit sad. So people that work at McDonalds have little intellect, and that is sad? At least they are contributing to the society by having a job, something many smart(asses) don't do, which is sadder imo. Also, what does that have to do with MLP again? So it's sad that people enjoy an optimistic show rather than the pessimistic/death centered media we have nowadays? Why not use cocaine if the world is pessimist and death centered and you want to avoid it rather than work on it?

This generations of MLP is made so that its enjoyable for parents and their children that means 30 year olds <,<. Some of the jokes made simply blow right over their little heads. You should really take the time to watch more than one episode. In the end it would be worth it. Emo kids could tell me "cutting only feels good after 3-4 times" and I'd still tell them it's a bad idea and they should stop. Note: I'm not saying you should stop watching MLP! That would be outrageous.
Well, I don't think we will ever convince you to like MLP, and I'm not even going to try. Rather i'd like to convince you why people like the show in the first place so we can get rid of all this random hate being thrown around.
The reason we tell people to watch more than one episode is because a lot of people enter the show with an extremely negative bias with an image of something similar to teletubbies, as you have pointed out and still believe. It takes time to eliminate that bias and begin to actually see the show for what it is, a high quality cartoon. This is completely different than cutting yourself since you are not causing any form of bodily harm, it is solely entertainment. The only "bad idea" is that it goes against your image of girly things.
When people think of little girl cartoons they think far below that as shows for babies, and until this show that would be correct. For anyone who grew up watching cartoons, you probably remember shows like Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Scooby Doo, Rocko's Modern Life, Dexter's Lab, etc. etc. These are shows targeted at little boys. MLP is equivalent to those types of shows except for girls, in the same vein as Powerpuff Girls, which I also enjoyed. A lot of people enjoy shows targeted at younger audiences (spongebob is the biggest example).
MLP has the basic outline of a girls cartoon, but a lot of stuff is thrown in that makes it appeal to a broader, older, audience. There are several jokes in most episodes referencing things only a much older person would recognize, or way beyond what the target audience would understand (spiked punch?, 2001 a Space Odyssey?). There is good writing, great art, and enjoyable characters which keeps people coming back.
Nobody likes all shows, I hate House, I hate Dexter, I hate Breaking Bad, Big Bang Theory, and several others that people love to death. I just don't enjoy the show but I understand why other people enjoy it. I also hate most reality TV that a lot of people love.
If you don't like the show, that's fine, but I don't like it when people dismiss it as being freakish when it should just be considered different tastes.

I don't understand where you're drawing these assumptions from now, frankly it's reminiscent of the Fox News bit on MLP where they report on bronies just staying at home to watch the show or something like that. It's an entertaining show for me like any other, I'm not about to quit school because I like it and I don't know why you think I would so something like that. There's nothing wrong with some escapism, that's essentially what video games are for many.

If you want to continue talking about this, feel free to PM me. (someone asked me to keep posting, but I guess it won't go anywhere and I can't handle all the posting)
I'll explain a few things... The cocaine reference, IMO, made sense in context. It was sort of an analogy. Kind of a comparison but not directly.
As for the cutting thing, well it was a bad comparison, but it wasn't meant to be good. The point should've gone through.
Sorry if you talked to me and I didn't respond. Out during shitstorm!

AW, comon this cant be your last post. Im pretty sure nobody took anything personal. Some of us just have a bad way with words.
As for the funeral thing and the go read up on politics is kind of wasted for the most part. You and me are both going to die eventually.
No amount of information gathering can change where we and the world ends up and at the end of the day when I expire so long as more people watch and enjoy My little pony as a result of my influence then i can die content.
I would implore you to reconsider your stance and watch a few more episodes. If it helps i got hooked after watching from episode 1 to 4. You really cannot beat the message of love and friendship.

Was gone for a few hours and it seems the thread blew up into heated debate, I read through it all and it was interesting stuff.
Ive been following the brony community for months but im still surprised how negatively some people who never watched the show (or go in to it planning to hate on it) will react to the idea of people enjoying MLP
its really a shame cause I don't usually care what people think but since I like MLP and Dexter i'm obviously a mass murdering drug addled baby man according to some people and it pains me for people to get the wrong idea so badly but theres nothing you can do when people already made up their minds before discussion even begins.
Edit: Its not that I got offended by the posts during the discussion really it is just a bit exasperrating to read the same hate over and over but please continue to discuss since its a forum thread and thats what its for ^^

I don't think I'm missing on "better entertainment" when "better" means stuff like passing out on beer and dubstep or watching Dexter or Saw. Nah, I'd rather watch MLP.
I guess I made that point based on his wording. "MLP is better than listening to medias, medias make me sad". I'd rather watch shiny drawings than go to my brother's funeral. Funeral homes are so... brown.
Props to you and your misinterpretation or your ability to change something's meaning so you think you are right. "I'd rather watch shiny drawings than go to my brothers funeral", wtf? First off, I'd prefer there was never a funeral, but seriously, what are you talking about?
What I said was that today's media(read shows and entertainment in general, not friggin' News and Politics) tends to focus on death and other pessimistic topics, and that I prefer to look into the optimistic side of the media(ie. MLP instead of Dexter).

Yes matjlav, I would assume that any show centered on a serial murdering detective would draw quite a crowd of a messed up people. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that everyone who watches that show is messed up (that's using Djzapz, PhD logic), but I am saying that there must be something a little off (or just a great deal of desensitization) that appeals to people who enjoy watching murder being peddled on TV. Err, no, people don't enjoy the show because they like watching people get butchered. Everyone already has plenty of gore flicks for that. People watch it because the storyline and characters are awesome, and Dexter being a serial killer is just what is needed for the show to happen. If it means anything to you, I absolutely hate slasher/gore flicks in general. I generally can't sit through more than 15 minutes of them. I think the last one I tried to watch was 28 Weeks Later and I couldn't even handle the opening scene because I generally have too much empathy for the characters on screen to watch people get killed in horrific ways. So I'm definitely not "desensitized" as you suggest. The way Dexter handles the killing scenes is pretty subdued. There are a lot of more violent things to watch if you're looking to get your sadism fix. If you think that Dexter is the most concerning show on TV, then you are seriously misunderstanding the point of the show. You don't even have to sympathize with the title character to enjoy the show. I'm not saying you have to like it, but in suggesting that there "must be something a little off" you are being exactly like Djzapz, just a little less pronounced.
Yes, some people watch Dexter to see people being butchered.
I associate with people who I believe have all their marbles. I don't think any of them would watch Dexter casually or out of curiosity. I do know that what you like has quite a bit to do with you, but what you do NOT like has EVERYTHING to do with you.
What I mean is, let's take chocolate as an example. You like chocolate because it tastes good. The majority of people who like chocolate like it for this reason. Maybe it might even bring you some comfort or some pleasure of otherwise origin. It can be scientifically proven that chocolate stimulates whatever part of your brain that deals with pleasure (in most people).
But if you dislike chocolate without legitimate or medical reason to do so, there is something on your part, perhaps some mental aversion or disdain you may have for whatever reason, that causes you to not like chocolate. You don't just get up and say "I hate chocolate". Maybe if your spouse choked on a bar of Snickers, you would have a legitimate reason to despise Snickers, or maybe if it's because of the texture or something along those lines.
Again, you may like a house because it is yellow. If you dislike that same house because it is green, there's some aversion or disdain you have towards green houses. "Hmm, this is a beautiful house, too bad it's green  ".
I'n not "exactly like Djzapz, just a little less pronounced". What I'm saying is that everything you dislike, you must have a reason for it. If you don't have a reason then your reason is stupidity/ignorance. I (and others) don't like Dexter because it's about a serial murdering detective, and that's a fair reason, but some people do and I don't have an issue with that.
I know nothing of the merits of the show, and I even said I haven't watched any substantial portion of it, so I guess I can't speak from a point of authority. Maybe the storyline and characters are so awesome that the show gets its acclaim from those. I dunno.
You may like Dexter (or Saw or Human Centipede or whatever) for different reasons than others, but the main point is that it's a show about murdering. Note: I did say not everyone who watches Dexter is messed up. If you can watch Dexter with absolutely no qualms about it, either you have an exceptional mind that can completely disregard fiction with no emotional response, or option two, you have no problem with it and enjoy it, ergo you are desensitized/messed up somehow. I assume you, matjlav, have the former since you say you don't like those types of shows.
