Why do we enjoy the show? Of course, there might be many reasons depending on the individual but they usually all agree on the following. The show itself is entertaining and, the community, inspiring. As any other fandom, it brings people together on their common interests; it allows to belong to a group, which is a great thing. Sometimes, fan art (i.e. Animation, writing, composing or drawing) helps people to discover talents they never even suspected having before. What distinguishes this show from others is the animation, which is fluid and well realized. The art style is beautiful and unique as well. The characters are diverse and, their personalities and the situations they happen to live, easily relatable. Unlike some might think, the show is not exclusive to a younger audience; it occasionally provides adult humor and food for thought.
Demystifying misconceptions about bronies A lot of people disliking the fandom claim that it is abnormal to enjoy a show which was mainly created for a younger public backing their views up with disputable arguments. Hopefully, the following will help you to get rid of some misconceptions about the bronydom. Unlike the somewhat common belief, bronies are not a sub-section of furries. Furries can also be bronies, but not every brony is a furry. Some believe that bronies aggressively try to convince others to join their fandom. However, only a small percentage of bronies actually do so. The reason behind it is temper, which varies from one individual to another, and not necessarily the belonging to a specific group. Others believe that male fans of the show are of an "Un-straight" orientation. However, according to a study involving around 1300 participants, approximately 70% of the respondents were "straight".
------------------
Hopefully you understand and stop wasting your time hating bronies. |

I understand you're trying to help but this is sort of the reason people hate bronies. They rave about MLP. It's just a TV show. |

Zilex, the fact that most of us have at least made one of these lectures should prove we're trying to help you out, here. If we didn't care, we wouldn't spend thirty or forty minutes trying to get you to watch at least one episode.
When I first started watching the show, I ignored the rest of the community because I saw how stupid they could be. Upon visiting Equestria Daily, I found Fallout: Equestria, which is the most impressive Fan-Fiction I've ever read. It may just be my love for the Fallout series, but I somewhat doubt that, considering I recommended it to loves it, and he hasn't even played Fallout. (I bring that up for two reasons, one, you should go read that right now even if you're not a Brony, and two, it proves the community, in all it's stupidity, has quite a few intelligent people mixed in.) |

@Sly The "trying to help us out" seems a lot like forcing your fandom on us. People don't like people's forcing their beliefs on others. That's another factor. If we don't want to watch the show, we don't have to and nobody should make us. On the contrary, I've seen the show and I know it's not for me. I really don't like the humor and the story line just seems very boring and repetitive.
I'm not denying that the fandom has intelligent people who don't go around being all in your face about MLP, but it does have it's fair share of those extremists. |

| I dont mind the fact of simply liking the show, but going on with a crusade of spam about MLP pony media and calling people out on hating it is absurd. |

@Zilex While I don't deny that there are people on this forum who attempt to force, most of what I do is recommending the show and/or defending it and it's community from biased opinions.
And if you don't want to see us on the forum, you know you can not click on the Brony ones.
@Cool "Crusade of Spam" Stated again, I simply (And many others) defend the show and try to get people who haven't watched it to do so.
Rule 10, I think is "Don't feed the trolls." The spamming crusade, are trolls.

I hate the haters. It seems to me that most haters are 12 year old little CoD fans. Those are the only ones I have seen, at least. I used to make fun of the show and bronies, but then I watched it. Whenever I see a hater I ask, "Have you seen the show?" They always respond "Nope, that show is for little girls".
-.-
How ignorant are people?

@Re You obviously don't understand how an opinion works, so I'll explain it.
Mine is mine, what sucks to you is good to me, what's your's is your's, what is good to you sucks to me.
obsess*, by the way.
Also, by what's-his-face, "Don't say something sucks, say why it sucks."
Awareness! It's under 'E'! |

| I'm going to go back and watch a few more episodes, I had only watched one prior, and that isn't enough to justify my opinion, I respect yours either way. |

Despite that I have watched many episodes and still do not enjoy it, you shouldn't be opposed as strongly as you are. It isn't fair. |
