@problmedpony Okay, my reasons for liking the show? ... It was probably the beautiful flash animation intrigued me to start with, but I soon began to appreciate how well the stories were crafted, and how well the messages were integrated into many of them. I was refreshed that the "moral" aspect of the show was not based on the sort of black and white, judgmental 'DRUGS ARE BAD' preaching of some 80s and 90s shows, and tended instead to be based on establishing and maintaining mutually successful relationships with other people. The way the characters grew and twisted expectations through the first season was also a key element of its appeal for me. I didn't really like Pinkie Pie and Rarity to start with, but this changed considerably as the season went on ('Suited for Success' is a good example, I feel, of an episode that created a more sympathetic understanding of one of the main characters). The music, both incidental and vocal, is excellent, as is the ensemble voice cast.

@pawnheart thank you for the valuable information.

@problmedpony (CONTINUED) There's fundamentally a good-natured, uncyncical aspect to the show (if we put aside the fact that it was initially produced, in part, to sell toys to children), which is also refreshing to me. This has been reflected in the "brony" community itself, which has, by and large, tried to make itself actively more welcoming than other fan communities... on the negative side, there can be a large degree of hypocrisy in some community members' treatment of non-fans. They can be just as intolerant to those who do not like the show as percieved "trolls". It is just a show, and I believe ponies should find it in their own time, if they wish to... (well, I think thats about it for now, glad I could be of help!)

@pawnheart may i ask you a few questions?
Friday, 02-Dec-11 23:29:43 UTC from web-
@problmedpony Fair enough
Friday, 02-Dec-11 23:30:20 UTC from web-
@problmedpony I'm going to have to go to bed very shortly though

@pawnheart what is one thing that you hate about say, some of the fan base. for example, i read fan fics such as cup cakes, and sweat apple massacre, i find them offensive and disgusting.
Friday, 02-Dec-11 23:39:38 UTC from web-
@problmedpony It's obvious, but if it's offensive and such, then you are not helping yourself by reading it.
Friday, 02-Dec-11 23:41:22 UTC from web-
@mrdragon yes well i only read them half way

@pawnheart and that the writers should see a psychiatrist
Friday, 02-Dec-11 23:40:32 UTC from web-
@problmedpony Hmm... I'm detecting a slightly 'leading' nature to this line of questioning. I don't like those fanfics. I thus don't read them.
Friday, 02-Dec-11 23:43:30 UTC from web-
@pawnheart define leading
Friday, 02-Dec-11 23:44:02 UTC from web-
@problmedpony Well... your questions seem to be judgmentally slanted so far.
Friday, 02-Dec-11 23:48:20 UTC from web-
@pawnheart they are arn't they, i dont mean to be intolerant, ill admit i do have my prejudices, but i don't mean to insult any one. if thats what they like its there business.

@problmedpony Love to help, but I'm out and about right now. Try to remind me later? Also I hope I'm not middle aged... that would mean I die at 56! D:

@scribus i think of middle aged men from 40 to 50 years of age
Friday, 02-Dec-11 23:30:42 UTC from web-
@problmedpony Then I guess I'm below your target.

@greydragon412 Like my father used to say; You're entitled to your opinion... even if it's wrong."

@greydragon412 Some shadow around the eyes, more cat-like pupils, and an evil grin with a fang showing a bit.
Friday, 02-Dec-11 23:55:38 UTC from web -
