Word has it that Furries have been trying to assimilate Ponies into their fandom, and there are quite a number of Furries that have become Pony fanatics as you might expect.

But the MLP fanbase is incredibly savvy and intelligent, and they are all well aware of who and what Furries are. They've generally refused to be assimilated. Even when... or perhaps especially when Lauren Foust herself was lucky enough to have certain, erm... inappropriate comments made to her by them on her DA account.

Leave it to a Furry to show absolutely no tact at all when attempting to force solidarity upon those who really don't want anything to do them. Way to perpetuate the stereotypes, guys! This is why we can't have nice things.

The whole 'I'm a 25 yr old male that isn't gay and loves MLP Derp derp.' deal is something only hipsters would fall for. It's just good business for them to embrace the demographic at that point.

That said, if you checked it out to see what all the fuss was about and genuinely started to like the show, appreciate it's nuances et al, then by all means enjoy it.
This describes my appreciate for the show. I initially checked it out to see what the hype was - the show was already in season 2 before I started watching it.

I'm one episode behind at the moment (s2e15 - Will probably watch it later after work) and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Maybe I'm just easily amused and like pretty colors, but overall I quite enjoy the show - the jokes, the animations, the dialogue, the songs - pretty much everything about it.

Mostly what I like about it the show is that there's pretty much a clear-cut message tied to every show - like a moral of the story. I grew up watching Ninja Turtles, GI Joe, He-Man, etc in the late 80s/early 90s and those cartoons were the same way.

I guess there's somewhat of a nostalgic feeling there too.

Do I need to quote Rules 1 and 2?

Also, FWIW, I've seen plenty of "meme" characters in game, most notably the "green anonymous" guy who was appropriately named Anonymous.

It made me smile when I saw him.
