Yeah. God forbid someone criticizes the show in any way. That might actually cause discussion.

Hey, guys. This is my first time posting in this forum. I am not a brony, nor do I have a problem with whatever you're doing. I just see Brony/Anti-Brony arguments popping up a lot and whenever I do, bronies claim that the show has merit because of it's good animation. So my question is why do you guys actually believe the show is well-animated? It's not. The cartoon doesn't have terrible animation, but the quality of animation is nothing to start a fandom over. Anyone who believes the animation in mlp is "great" has obviously never watched a well-animated show. The entire basis of it's style is copy-and-pasting the same images over and over and moving them around, an animation technique referred to as “tweening.” It requires little to no talent and only look decent when the images being used are of great quality. Have you guys even seen shows like “Superjail,” “Futurama,” and “Black Dynamite?” You know how it's easy to see how little effort it takes to animate mlp. A constant influx of youtubers have copied the style semi-perfectly. The animators for mlp use an entire crew to copy-and-paste things; yet, teenagers in their basement have mimicked the style without by themselves, in flash. Anyone can use this style. As someone who has spent a lot of time animating, I hate seeing animation as mundane as this used as justification for an entire fandom.
