Apparently, My Little Pony: FiM is homophobic, racist and anti-smart people.

OhmyGodWAT?!

Was there ever any outrage over Him in The Power Puff Girls? If they want to bash a show for hating on the gender queer they can go back in time and start over there.

That one episode with the moral that everything would be great if only the Native American-styled bison would only share their land with the Old West pony town made me kind of uncomfortable, but the objections in that article are silly. Celestia has black ponies as her royal guards? Oh noes! I mean, by that logic isn't Ponyville giving us a fairly equitable racial diversity, since most of the background stallions are various shades of brown and tan, and so I'd guess Asian or Latino?

The larger problem is that the colors of human skin and the fur of the ponies are not equatable. What do you do with pink, blue, purple, red, etc. that humans don't have?

But, I'm serious, Applejack is just as much of a tomboy as Rainbow Dash. She does "mans" work all the time. Heck, there was an episode where she almost managed the whole of sweet apple acres WITHOUT Big Macintosh's help.

Didn't she only get half of it done in time?

Actually I would say that Apple Jack is more Tomboyish than Rainbow Dash. And yeah, she did only get half of it done, but considering the size of that orchard, that's pretty impressive.

Darn you! Darn you all to heck!


Counts My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic purchases she made on iTunes this weekend.
or rather

So....just discovered this show. I was huge into MLP the toys as a kid, and then I started collecting them as an adult. And then I started writing about them. Because sometimes I like to write about ponies...

Anyway. OMG I love this show. Rainbow Dash is my favorite, followed closely by Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy.

Erm...What? I would be slightly more impressed with that article if it was at all apparent that the author had watched any significant amount of the show. But it didn't seem like she had, she based all of her opinions on a short promotional clip and the description of ONE episode. I admit, the buffalo-bison one made me a little uncomfortable too, but overall I think it's a great show, for kids AND adults.

You're not the only one that likes to writes about ponies. Since the debut of the newest series, there's been an explosion of MLP FiM fanfics. You can find most of them here:

I would particularly suggest reading the Luna Vs series. And Rainbow Dash is everypony's favorite character.

Thanks for the link, Shadow. And for the story recs.

Omg so happy to see a thread on MLP. They're just so effin cute, I want to cuddle them all Especially Fluttershy, always my favorite pony

Saving some posts

Apparently someone leaked a title for a season 2 episode:

By the title, I'm guessing it'll mainly have to do with Fluttershy.

So, there is a fan made flash game that's being developed called the Fiends from Dream Valley.

Aside from looking gorgeous, it's also FULLY VOICE ACTED by incredibly good fan voice actors.

I mean, WOW

Please don't sue them Hasbro! PLEEEEEEEEEASE!

Except for when she goes insane and starts replacing her friends with buckets of turnips.

All of the episodes on right now are reruns for me. I want to see the reruns I haven't seen yet! My internet is too slow to use youtube without waiting hours for one episode to load. But I'm SORELY tempted.
