Maybe the show is good. Maybe it's got a lot of great humor, good writing, and social commentary. That still doesn't change the fact that the show was made specifically for little girls. As good as it may be, it isn't made for manly guys like me and Gilgamesh.

Here's the deal: I won't watch My Little Pony if Lisa Simpson doesn't play for the school football team.

Manly Guys? So, you aren't going to watch this show because you are Manly?

That is possibly the worst reason I've heard for not watching this show so far. 

At least you aren't being too ridiculous, and saying that it may be a good show, as some people are in this thread. It still doesn't mean you should think you can't or shouldn't watch a show because you are a manly man.


To be 100% honest, when I was very young, I watched G.I. Joe, Transformets, Inhumanoids, and......Jem and the Holgrams, Care Bears, and My Little Pony.  I actually liked those shows, too. I liked every cartoon.  These days, I have to say I don't watch any TV except for Futurama, American Dad, CNN, and WWE.  It's not like I'm incapable of enjoying a show clearly marketed for little girls.  My little girl watches this show (I've yet to see a single episode) but she also watches Batman, Avengers, Spider-Man, Young Justice, and more.  The "Manly Man" comment was actually a bit of a lame joke (and before I put Gilgamesh's name there, I had Jay520's name in that place.)

Oh, and Lisa Simpson DID play football.

I'm not going to watch the show because it's not for me.  I don't think I'll enjoy it.  Just like if I saw a movie trailer and it didn't look like something I would enjoy, I'm not going to go out of my way to watch it unless something changes my mind.  From what I've seen of MLP, it's not offering anything that I can't get anywhere else and the presentation doesn't make me want to watch it, either.  That's just the way it is.
