Yes, I like the show. As I summed up in another post: > [@Anyone else baffled by the my little pony thread?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-else-baffled-by-the-my-little-pony-thread/600299/37): > > It’s a charming, rather intelligent show that manages to appeal to people far outside its target audience, while still being accessible to kids. It’s sweet without being saccharine, and it doesn’t treat children like idiots. The fact that all of this completely subverts expectations based on the horrible half-hour toy commercials of the 80s undoubtedly helps, too. The community actually interests me as much as the show at this point. It’s been fun to watch, and the sheer volume of creative output from fans has produced some interesting results. (Along with lots of horrible dreck, of course.) The intersection of memetic subcultures–Bronies and Whovians, for example–is fascinating to me. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-a-brony-aka-are-you-a-male-who-watched-my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic/713180)._
