I can't really think of any characters I dislike though other than the bad ponies you're supposed to dislike. They're all played so good though, including the bad ones

What happens when one of those people makes friends with someone who happens to like this show, and then figures it out later? Do you honestly think that would get in the way of any kind of friendship, and even if it did would it really matter? My friends lightly make fun of me cause I watch MLP, it doesn't bother me at all. They are still my friends, if they did have a huge negative reaction then they wouldn't be worth my friendship. Do you think some manager is going to fire an otherwise hard worker because he watches MLP?
Have more faith in the world and don't assume everybody is going to think the worst of people. Even if what they say stuff like people who watch MLP are shut-ins and pedophiles, I'm sure they'd just need to meet someone reasonable to change their mind.
I'm so sad I finally caught up now I have to wait a week for every new episode. Started watching this show a few weeks ago and I really tried to pace myself but I couldn't help it =/
qqqqqqqq first world problems u_u
Three songs are already some of my favorite songs ever
1.) At the Gala 2.) Art of the Dress 3.) Winter Wrap Up
Along with dozens of other great songs and dozens of moments where I actually replayed parts of an episode just cause it was so funny

"…who watch My Little Pony"
Funny thing, isn't it, how you could've got the exact same response two years back. Know why that's funny? It's because back then the thing you're talking about didn't actually exist. Spinning thirty years of fully-warranted brand-name infamy (despite no-one responsible for that even working on the new show) in one's favor isn't as revelational as you seem to believe. Hell, the people you see here would've had similar reservations, and it would've been perfectly normal.
What do you THINK happens when you ask anyone about a brand that's driven itself this deep into the ground? + Show Spoiler +
Don't you find it fascinating how those fancying themselves "intellectuals" are just as quick to go the way of Fox News the moment it suits their agenda? Way to go, champ. Real wit.
Haha, I don't know why, but for some reason these three images in a row put a huge smile on my face. It reminds me why I love this community - it just makes me happy. You all rock.
