@abigpony It's because at face value most people won't even give it a chance, and for good reason. The hate for MLP as a franchise has existed for decades. Just by having the title "My Little Pony", Friendship of Magic inherited an already thriving hatedom. So right from the start people have to talk a little louder to make it known that there's something very different about it now. This increased volume in turn lures more haters, and more haters means the fans have to speak up even louder. It becomes a feedback loop of both sides raising their voices- from the bronies just to be heard at all, and from the haters to keep the bronies from being heard. TL;DR: the default assumption most people have is that MLP is bad and they are reluctant to accept the idea that there's even a chance it could be good.
