So this question is constantly asked by some of my friends. I really don't have a response for them because I don't see how somepony can hate a show that promotes love and tolerance. I mean you don't have to like the show, but don't hate it.

I used to think that it was because a lot of guys aren't really comfortable with their sexuality. They live under the constant belief that they can't be seen doing anything even the remotest bit girly, and must forever be the manliest man who ever manned.

If you look anywhere you can always find a hater or 30 (million) who will toss out an insult and a half at you for even putting the initials of this glorious show.

I've been reading many questions and responses on the internet pertaining why people hate My Little Pony. Everyone of the responses I've seen is because they're cold, heartless people who are closet bronies or they didn't give the show a chance. They also go on about how many men think It's not "masculine" to watch a show that has ponies in it, which is partly true.

Well, here's a REAL reason that probably a few people don't like MLP: (Courtesy of my Non-Brony friend)

"Here's the reason as to why I dislike the show and before you jump and try to claw my face off for dissing Twilight Sparkle I gave it a chance, I watched the first 4 episodes.

The reason I don't like MLP along with many other people is because most people don't actually care about it. I have nothing against the show personally, but when fans of the show begin to come into forums and threads and preaching or referencing MLP, people get pissed, especially if their thread had nothing to do with it. The point is, people would rather not hear about it but the fandom forces it down peoples throats. The brony community also thinks they're a special fandom that's unique from all others (which is kind of true with EVERY fandom) but they're not. At the heart of it, It's still just a fandom.

For example: people would rather not hear nor care if someone's homosexual, because they think It's stupid or they think they should be treated with more respect because they're homosexual. The bronies have this same mentality. They believe because they watch MLP and preach it, they have to be treated special but in reality, most people really don't care about it."
