It all started back with Pinkie Pie in  "The Ticket Master".  "...she is the number one best Pony!..."  Another way of saying Twilight was her best friend.   From there Best Pony came to mean "Favorite Pony"  or "Pony I like the Best".  Ultimatly Best Pony = No Right Awnswer! or They are all best Pony. (except diamond tiara)     

 

So who is Best Pony?

 

Octavia obviously!

Honestly, people just want to feel right. It's one thing that a huge number of people will defend with their lives, their favorite IS best pony. In my group of friends, it's just a way to argue for no reason and goof off, we never take it seriously, but we still hold our favorites. For most people, I assume it's a way to express their opinion on the matter, they just want people to know, attention is all they want.

That's definitely how I really feel right now. As I always say (well not always xD) that ''everypony is best pony''. Simple as that. I guess people are just making this a big deal. If people are really like this, they're acting like a bunch of immature 5 year olds fighting over toys.

Well said, but don't people going stop any time soon with it. And also we have dos people just plan enjoys arguing abut pointless things. The reasoning for that behavior, is beyond my comprehansion.

Ironically, a lot of the brone fandom acts that way on a lot of topics related to the show. I found it rather bothersome, among other things, so I left.

I think it has been well established that best pony is just a person's favorite pony. As for the desire to defend this point, I think it mostly boils down to conversation. If you encounter someone with a different favorite pony, you can explain and go in depth supporting your belief, and hear the same thing about another pony. It is a way to better understand a character, by focusing and picking out what you like about them, and by sharing and hearing different points. Also, seeing as a fair sized chunk of the community seem to be introverts, it is a positive thing to have one topic that is a source of passion and in depth conversation, after all, best pony is better than awkward comments on the weather. Sometimes it's fun to just say "Fluttershy is best pony", but at the end of the day it just shows appreciation for the depth of character developed by the writing staff and acts as a topic for conversation or debate.

Yep, I'm pretty guilty. Mainly because I'm kind-of upset that everyone has to have a mane six character worthy of their "best pony". But, besides that...

 

People I guess, especially in this fandom, really feel secure now about what they like. It kind-of blossoms since 70% of this fandom is grown men, and by all means unusual to what men 'are supposed to be interested in'. Over half of them I presume, felt a very powerful feeling since they did think in a million years that they would like something like MLP, and now that they have the guts, they're much more opinionated. This is also another noticeable outcome due to bronies being rather butt-hurt and aggressive to those who do not like MLP. 

 

It's just that optimistic confidence, ya know?

Why do people express their hatred and disgust of Twilight (movie), Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black and now Miley Cyrus so much? Why does every anime fanboy have to get into a shouting contest about whether Naruto vs. Bleach and everything else that hasn't been on Toonami recently? Why does every comic geek get so riled up (myself included) over whether Superman or Batman win in a fight or DC vs. Marvel?

 

The answers are quite simple really: people have opinions and they like to draw attention, and yes feed trolls. Let's be clear here: the phenomenon of fans and regular people shouting out how much they like, hate or whatever feel about something has been here since the dawn of the internet. I have seen more than my fair share of TF2 references outside of a TF2 reference on Youtube, Call of Duty and Modern Warfare diehards, and the regular Christian and internet libertarians spewing off about hell and revolutions long before MLP:FiM became relevant.

 

We all have preferences in views and opinions chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, mint...rum raisin, Democrat/Republican/libertarian/independent etc. Best ponies is just one of those ways people express those views and preferences, sometimes more loudly and emphatically than others. 

 

You are right though, at times people go overboard on seemingly trivial things like best pony or Call of Duty vs. Modern Warfare vs Battlefield. But I do think its still better that people let out there emotions on such senseless things instead of things that do matter. There's Democrats vs. Republicans and liberals vs. conservatives. And then there's 8th century neanderthals vs. 17th century slaveowners. Trust me on that point. You have not seen a flaming trash online until you have visited the depths of places like Yahoo and Youtube.

It's just something to debate about, everyone knows there's no actual best pony, when people say that they really mean "favorite pony according to one individual".
