Yeah it's this thing. Some of you might've heard about it going around the internet.
Basically it's made by Lauren Faust - one of the people who worked on powerpuff girls and foster's home of imaginary friends. She's also the wife of Craig McCraken, who created both of those shows and also worked on stuff like dexter's lab.
Lauren Faust's position:
"I was extremely skeptical at first about taking the job. Shows based on girls' toys always left a bad taste in my mouth, even when I was a child. They did not reflect the way I played with my toys. I assigned my ponies and my Strawberry Shortcake dolls distinctive personalities and sent them on epic adventures to save the world. On TV, though, I couldn't tell one girl character from another and they just had endless tea parties, giggled over nothing and defeated villains by either sharing with them or crying–which miraculously inspired the villain to turn nice. Even to my 7-year-old self, these shows made no sense and couldn't keep my interest. No wonder the boys at school laughed at my Rainbow Unicorn Trapper Keeper.
From what I've seen since I've grown up, little has changed. To look at the quality of most girls' cartoons, it would seem that not one artist really cared about them. Not one designer, not one background painter, not one animator. Some of the more well-meaning, more expensive animated productions for girl audiences may look better, but the female characters have been so homogenized with old-fashioned “niceness” that they have no flaws and are unrelatable. They are so pretty, polite and perfect; there is no legitimate conflict and nothing exciting ever happens. In short, animated shows for little girls come across as boring. Stupid. Lame.
This perception, more than anything, is what I am trying to change with My Little Pony."
Anyway, have some pony - the show that is making many older males wonder why they like this stuff. :D
(if you don't believe me just look at this survey!)
If you want to try a bit, I'd suggest you start with episode 4 and continue from there - 1 and 2 aren't a very good representation of the series but they fill in a few minor plot holes
If it means anything, I've already got a significant portion of the Hive Workshop into this - their pony thread has gotten 1200+ posts in under 2 months!
eternalwraith sux cause he likes the popularirty system yay... sunshine sunshine sunshine yay am i missing an eyebrow... the candy store is this way monkey crater 5181818 and i am going to eat you...
It's still targeted for little girls. Watch the toy commercials and point out the teen boy holding and combing hair... they only exist amongst the trolls doing this ass backwards marketing. They did this shit at liquid recently again too. Here that Sixen, they didn't even bother to troll your place first!

Here are some good "intro" episodes if you're not sure:
ep 5 part 1: ep 5 part 2: ep 4 part 1: ep 4 part 2: (See the video descriptions for more)

Yes I like MLP FiM, yes it is entertaining, yes it is the only cartoon I watch, yes there is nothing wrong with that.
I'm sure people are quite aware of it whether they wanted to know or not. And I see there is no desire to ponify people here, which is also fine, this is SC2 afterall not ponychan but everyone has the freedom to like it, yes?

Your pony shit sucks. I dont want to see this garbage here again. Advertise/spam elsewhere, nobody cares about this.
I also dont care if its "seemingly" popular/big at the Hive Workshop. After all, Even Justin Bieber has legions of fans. Shows that a lot of people just have bad taste. So no, it means nothing actually. You trying to "ponify" everyone, ends here.

@Zamurak: Go
Welcome to sc2mapster? :D
wait, what? He hasn't been around in ages!
@grenegg: Go
what did i just step into... :/
Well actually I would have to agree with eternal wraiths point about the popularity system. But today the protis sniper will end the con-
We fought off the first brony invasion and we shall do the same with this one.

Curse PremiumWelcome....?
I'm moving this to off-topic because as far as I can tell, my little pony is not related to sc2.

just to clear things out. I dont follow my little pony. LOL. but still, the above video... now that I could watch everyday...
how about no
Yes I like MLP FiM, yes it is entertaining, yes it is the only cartoon I watch, yes there is nothing wrong with that.
I'm sure people are quite aware of it whether they wanted to know or not. And I see there is no desire to ponify people here, which is also fine, this is SC2 afterall not ponychan but everyone has the freedom to like it, yes?
@Zamurak: Go How arrogant.
