You only got as far as "in the magical land of Equestria."
I forced myself to watch a full episode of one of the old generations of the show on a dare, if I can force myself to sit through that shit then you can force yourself to sit through the first episode of "Friendship is Magic" before you start questioning bronies in general.


I just watched the first episode. Here is my reaction:

You should watch the episode Fall Weather Friends. It's probably one of the best for bringing in new fans.

There is a cliffhanger!!! You need to know what happens next! Also that is not how the other episodes are like. Episode 3 and 4 are more like the others. Episodes one and two are just to introduce the characters.

I would lose IQ points if I was exposed to any more of that show than I already have been. It's beyond "aquired taste", I think you have to be 60%+ insane to even tolerate this garbage.

Well, nobody is forcing you to watch it. If you do not enjoy it, that's fine by me, at least. Nobody can make someone enjoy something against their will. I just hope that, like I said earlier, you gave it a fair shot.

Okay, if they chained you to a wall and threatened to yank off a fingernail or toenail for every minute you weren't enjoying it, then they could. But nobody here is doing that, yet.

It's not really any worse than what people write in any other media-related thread in this forum when they don't like $thing, you know.

Voicing one's dislike, particularly after watching an episode, isn't a crime. It's not the same thing as repeatedly, consistently, trying to goad people who disagree, akin to what, say, Wiztopia did previous to page twenty or so. And Hellenic Protectorates hasn't done that.

Nothing can be liked by everyone, and just saying that you don't like something doesn't make you a troll.

tl;dr: Skins. They need to be thicker.

I did give it a fair shot. I watched one episode and hated it. It is slightly interesting from an economic standpoint after reading that web story, but not enough for me to watch it.

So...yeah. I'll just keep watching Ghost in the Shell and 24.

EDIT: I absolutely loved watching Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends when it was on, but I cannot honestly watch a "My Little Pony" show. That's just me.

It depends on who you talk to. Most people just have it be gender neutral, though.
