...Well cool. One less racist is always a good thing.

What would pinkie do? So you throw a party for everyone you see?

It really is amazing that a cartoon can have a major influence on one's behavior and opinions.

One of the major reasons I like watching MLP is because of its ability to induce a calm and happy nature when I'm feeling anything but that. I've also grown more accepting of myself - quirks and inadequacies included - after I started watching the show, although this is more largely due to being able to admit that I like the show (and thus being able to admit that I like other non-mainstream things) rather than just watching it.

That said, it's a very enjoyable show to watch; while I didn't like the majority of season 3's episodes, the first two seasons have a lot going for them. I wish more people could enjoy the show for what it does well, instead of avoiding it because of what they assume it's like.
