I have been hearing a lot about this show over the past years, and what I had seen had not left a very positive image of the brony community. All the flame wars, all the pointless debates, insults, as well as the morally questionable material, left me with the impression that this community was full of emotionally stunted and socially disabled people.
Three weeks ago, I was really bored and was looking for a TV show to watch when, out of sheer random, I thought: "What if I watched My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?". At first I didn't take myself seriously at all, I just wanted to see how the show was like. The first two episodes left me wanting more, so I kept going... until I started to really like the characters. They're unique, appealing, and the whole thing is just so reassuring, comfortable to watch. It just brings me peace to watch this. That's the only way I can put it.
So yeah... I'm at the beginning of season 4 now, and I love it so far.
So... is this community made of emotionally stunted and socially disabled people? I don't know but count me in. Plus, the "morally questionable material" clearly is a minority among the community, plus come on, you can find this kind of stuff for basically anything on the Internet, so that shouldn't be representative of this specific community.
All I see here is a bunch of nice people enjoying an awesome show. What's wrong about it?
