It seems the My Little Pony fandom has reached critical mass, since it has started working on this:http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/pony-fighting-game.htmlhttp://www.equestriagaming.com/2011/05/my-little-pony-fighting-is-magic.htmlhttp://www.ponychan.net/chan/collab/res/5925.htmlIt's been a fascinatingly productive fandom so far, I wonder if that'll actually apply to this too.
Didnt you see how people reacted to scott pilgrim for getting a huge fanbase?Or Mspaintadventures?The moment you like something, it has to be a fad, or worse, its a hipster thing. Also known as "how dare you like something i dont know about"
Ahh the lesson of My Little Pony, When love and caring don't work, settle your differences with Violence! (Children Cheering!)
it's a fad because it's a show for children that got a huge fandom in short notice and is enjoyed and discussed by grown ass men. people that aren't completely aware of the show think the fandom is either ironic or creepy. it's irregular. it's also a fad because there is no way that all these people with pony avatars will keep them beyond this year and they'll change them to the next thing that the internet loves instead

And then they all went back to discussing the physics of the hadouken or how deep the storyline of kof was.Disclaimer, I havent watched them ponies yet, but will eventually because i like good animation

Also known as "how dare you like something i dont know about"Scott Pilgrim, Mspaintadventures, and the KOF story fandoms don't have a really creepy pedo vibe to them.
