Why does everyone who likes MLP feel the need to use a Pony as a reaction image to every comment they type? Can't you just write your comments and hit post? Adding the pony will almost always get you thumbed down.

I can't even remember the last time I've seen a non-'troll' account post a pony picture.

Why does everyone who doesn't like MLP feel the need to thumb down every Pony image they see, when it appears a maximum of once every hundred comments?

That is like asking why everyone makes such a big deal out of cancer, even though it only effects a maximum of once every hundred cells.

Now I get that you're all cool, edgy and an internet master, but you really are comparing cancer to the fact that a bunch of adult men like a show for little girls and occasionally feel the need to outwardly express their enthusiasm. You wouldn't complain if 1 in 100 liked to use Dr. Who images to react to everything.

Let's be honest now -- you just feel emasculated and insecure about your masculinity given the nature of who you are as a person (I'm sure you're normal), conflicting with the general principles and expectations set forth by society (hyper-masculine, little to no emotional out pour allowed, being a softy and crying over trite things makes you a huge -----. And how do you shift the attention away from your own insecurity? Why, by pointing it elsewhere of course!

Good job, you've spread the very insecurity which drove you to spread it.

I didn't even thumb your post down, I was just answering your question, and then you turned it into an argument of masculinity, which is hilarious, keep up the funny.

I definitely would complain if it was Dr. Who stuff. If the picture has no exact reason to be there and isn't rolled or isn't said to be random, I probably would just ignore because I am not one to thumb down people for no reason.
But on the case of MLP: I do think it is a little creepy that adult men like a little girls T.V. show. I have tried a couple times to watch it to see the "Adult humor" In the show when there really isn't. It is only there if you try to make it there. And honestly, I find it weird that people want to watch it. I don't have a suitable picture, so here is this

I certainly agree that there's not really that much adult humor in MLP. Well, there is occasionally. See: The punch has been Spiked, etc. That's beside the point.

Nobody watches MLP for the adult humor. If all MLP had was adult humor, it would be uninteresting and nobody would watch it. People watch MLP for the same reason people watch sitcoms -- they slowly but surely begin to enjoy the facets and nuances of the well-written, well-casted characters, and at some point simply begin to enjoy whatever the characters do.

Think about Avatar the Last Airbender for a moment. That show isn't a sitcom, and it had one long over-arching plot to defeat the Fire Lord, but it still made you fall in love with the characters. Why? Because filler episodes -- which the original Avatar was rife with -- aren't about the plot, they're about the characters and how they grow.

It is much the same with MLP. In fact, there really aren't over-arching plots in MLP, so it frees up the vast majority of the episodes to be about character development. And character development isn't something you can enjoy or fall in love with instantaneously when you watch a show like MLP. If you were watching Game of Thrones (which I love) you could fall in love with the plot instantly. MLP requires that the characters grow on you, which is something that takes 10+ episodes and an open mind.

Well.. Levvy for one is an active addition to our troll community. So anything he posts is for red. As to everyone else, they're most likely trolls too.

for the most part they don't, it's always a troll because posting an irrelevant pony image is the easiest way possible to get red thumbs and butthurt.
