I agree with drawing the line at sexual content, but I don't agree with "It seems people who like the x-rated stuff like it because it's taking away the innocence, which is stepping awfully close to pedophile territory in my opinion." The people like the porno because it's their "fetish" of sorts. They could also be attracted to their human qualities. You can't blame someone for being them and liking rule 34 poni stuff. I think it comes down to "I don't like what you like, but I won't stop you from liking it, or be different towards you for liking it. As long as you don't force your stuff down other people's throats, we'll be fine."

My hunch was that the people that were attracted to the mane six or other ponies where attracted to their human-like qualities.

I would have to say that the ponies live as long as humans do, if not longer. For the alicorns...

They have cannons, tanks (not shown but stated), and guns, but not many more modern forms of technology was shown. They exist, but I might have to say WW1 era stuff.

Maybe Rarity produces offspring asexually, and budded the filly Rarity.

Derpy in the episode was a lot like how I would've imagined her. Although I thought that her voice could've been a little more high pitched, but otherwise just fine. Although I'm not really happy with Applejack being overshadowed. But as what Ice stated, the next episode is going to be an Applejack one as well, so it's more of the case of better luck next time.

I had a hunch that attractions to the mane six or other characters in the show was something natural.

I didn't join this fandom for conspiracy theories.

I said that it was Japanese with no newer remakes. DB had a series around 2003, and a revised edition currently running. Digimon wasn't around in the 90's, or at least I don't think so.

The show may only last until season 6 I'm estimating, but I do estimate the fandom to have a noticeable standing for a few decades. But then again, we are leaving out the possibility of generation 5. Maybe that will be good as well, supplying fuel for the fandom?

I don't remember the name of the actual show, but there was this one show 10 or 20 years ago that ended, but it still keeps a noticable sized fandom today. It was Japanese with no newer remakes. I don't remember completely. Maybe that will happen to this fandom, the show will be great until the series finaly (I estimate 4-6 seasons). The show will end, but the fandom will go on and keep a noticeable following for quite some time. Besides, with how much fanfic and other works being produced by the community, I wouldn't be suprized if there was more than enough new pony stuff to preocupy time with, just so that the existing population will be sustained (AKA, when the show itself dies out, I might become a more serious fanfic reader). But for now, I don't really think about it, and I just enjoy the series and fandom as it's happening, instead of worrying about the "end". Although, I did just realize the possibility of generation 5. Maybe that will be as good, or somehwere around it, possibly enough to get the fandom-horse started up again. I mean, this is the fourth generation, so there is possibiliy of another set of good ponies coming along.

Well I don't mean actual fighting, just a pointless discussion of "who's best pony" that's lacking logic and fact that creeps into areas where it shouldn't, and causes a lot of uneeded problems.

Worst possible thing from this show/fandom? Getting into those crap "show loudest win argument" type things in a "who's best pony"? I mean, the type where people just shout their favorite pony, and disregard everything everyone says. I don't know how I end up in them a majority of the times, but the most memerable ones are on TF2. And it really gets to be a pain when you and maybe one other guy are the only ones that bother to play seriously to win the round, just because you have these fanatics who can't just shut up for 2 more minutes and focus, especially when you're the only engie on RED team on attack/defense mode.

(Assuming that these would be real religions that people would take seriously.) I just don't see a religion based off of anything MLP:FIM. And from what I read from this thread so far, most things and morals are morals that everyone knows, so a religion would be over excessive and just unessisary. Besides, I have a hunch that everything won't go as planned and/or something terrible will happen.

I started watching the episodes an hour or so after I found out about the series and the fandom, so there really wasn't a lot of time for me to hate the show. And even if I did have time, I wouldn't. I'm not much of a hater towards what people like things that I don't, unless you shove it down people's throats or you're just being a jerk about it.

I wouldn't bother with these two. It's obvious that they're not using logic nor facts, but in a playful manner.

Although I would love to further this discussion, I fear that I would be getting off topic.

I would make a statement if more information was presented as well. But I do have to say... it's adorable!

I would have to say both sides. The body itself is bilateral, so it would only seem natural that there would be a cutie mark on both sides just to keep that "bilateralness."

So unicorns are better becuase they're wannabes, by having the insanely small chance of having their special magic talent be about flying or growing food? And again, not everyone is a Twilight Sparkle, so they can't just learn how to grow food and then learn another field. And as I've somewhat stated (but not exactly), if the unicorns were to seperate themselves, not only would they harm themselves, but they would also harm the other races as well. So not only would being independant be selfish, but it would also be a d*ck move.
