When I first heard what this show was, I was skeptical to watch it. I at least didn't call it out on being My Little Pony as a reason to not watch, I just wasn't motivated, and when I was, BOOM! ADHD makes me get distracted. It took noticing that there was a Memebase site for me to look, at the site, that is. I loved it. My mind then went on a laser-guided search for the first episode, which didn't actually take long, but again, ADHD, miracle I didn't get distracted by Newgrounds. I found it hilarious, it is well written, and my favorite pony is Pinkie Pie, since I can somewhat relate to her (nice, random, likes fun, bounces off the walls, awesome). I love the references, most get past a child's head, and I love the care they put into the show. I love Ms. Faust as well, since my favorite shows involve her, but her being involved did not sway me, I didn't learn that (including the other shows) until the gap between seasons two and three.
My real favorite part is the fandom. Fans do a lot for charities, make amazing art, have fiction that I honestly prefer to most books (Past Sins is the best in my opinion, but is also the best I have read so far), and really have a large voice. The best part is that they all watch because they like the show, unlike hipsters who do things ironically but need major schooling on what ironic means. I love this community, since it seems to have something for everybody.
I dislike media attention and haters, since haters don't watch the show and accuse fans of being homosexuals (not a problem, since a portion of the fanbase is, in fact, homosexuals, but in the same way that a portion of Harry Potter or Star Wars fans are gay) and/or pedophiles (which is a problem, since that is highly wrong) and that we have no lives (we have to do something to afford something to watch MLP on, along with all of the other shows we watch), while media can't seem to look up a single fact about the fans, with one case seeming to believe we collect disability checks just so we can stay home to watch the show (I am not joking, look at Cowboy Be Bop At His Computer under Western Animation), which is farther from the truth than physically possible.
All in all, great show, great fandom, and the normal things from trolls and media that fail to check facts.
Surprisingly amusing
