Teens react to my little pony: friendship is magic!

Quite honestly I don't know anyone else in my immediate peer group who watches it - but then again, among my friends I do have the oldest kids (and my oldest being almost 7), so I can understand probably why they wouldn't watch it if their kids don't.  (I only watch it when my kids do - I just don't always have the time to set aside to watch it on my own).

Well, I don't know. Pretty sure watching the theme doesn't count as watching it. Maybe if they posted a reaction to a full episode, it'd count more.  That guy in the grey and blue striped shirt is cool though.

I saw this earlier, it was interesting. Although the theme song was not the best introduction...

I'm in high school, I know a few others in my class who like MLP:FiM, but they're all friends I converted myself. xP I've also met a sophomore who likes it too, though.

I'm just happy that some of them said it was okay and that people are free to do what they want, though. ^^

I feel like that really undermines how progressive the show is. Rather than talk about that, I asked someone on Tumblr their opinion on the show, whether they find it to be progressive, here's their response; http://shaburdies.tumblr.com/post/15303380677/do-you-find-fim-to-be-a-progressive-show-in-terms-of

Her theme defaults to all the text being capitalized, so don't read it like she's yelling at you.

But what she said is one of my favourite things about the show. The 'brony' fanbase is completely overlooking that part of it.

I think some guys watch it because they find the show enjoyable or it reminds them of their childhood cartoons too. Surprisingly my Dad likes FiM (I would not count him as a brony, though). He says he likes it because it reminds him of when I was young and we would watch cartoons together. He likes the animation style and he likes the meaning behind the show.

I really did enjoy reading that link too. She did point out a rather interesting point. I thought about how when I was a kid and I was such a Tomboy. I think that is why Rainbow Dash was my favorite character when I first started watching it. (Now that I have grown up a little I feel like much more of a Fluttershy xD)
For a kid's cartoon the characters are actually pretty developed. They give young girls a character like them and maybe even someone they can look up too.
