Indeed, manliness and beard have mathematical correlations. Or something.
I'd like to clarify my earlier post isn't pony hate, either. Just an observation. It 's fairly quality, but the fact it's based on pony toys AND has quality is what makes it so noteworthy, imho.
I still don't think it's quite my thing. /Bastion of manliness.

I'm very inclined to disagree. I'm not denying that part of the reason it's so widely spoken of is because it is in fact My Little Pony. There's a rush for some when saying they watch My Little Pony and being genuine about it. It's something to baffle your friends with ๐
It goes without saying though that you don't watch something you don't like. You don't stay with a show because it used to suck but doesn't anymore. You stay with it because it's a good show. The hype isn't because it's My Little Pony. The hype is because it's good despite being My Little Pony ๐ A show that's sucked for (G1), (G2) and (G3).
It's not because it's My Little Pony that people hype it. If anything, it's because it's Lauren Faust writing it. The creator of classics such as The Iron Giant and Quest For Camelot โ
The only difference it being My Little Pony does except allowing it to spread like wildfire, is that people think "It's because it's My Little Pony it's hyped" or "My Little Pony . . . You're serious?" ๐
It get widely spread because it's an actually successful generation of ponies. Viewers of all ages stay not because the show is My Little Pony, but rather because it's good. It's quality in more fields than one.

Like I said, I'm not saying it's bad, I just think that a combination of it not being bad and it being something you would expect to be bad adds to the noteworthiness of the cartoon.

Lauren Faust did not create The Iron Giant or Quest For Camelot. She did however animate them. ๐
Her writing credentials come from Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
