It's kinda scary when you think about how quickly we all latched onto this show.
It's like some primal urge that we didn't know we had got awakened by the existence of this show.
Remember when we said the show was stupid, that it was made for little girls?
Then we started liking it, then we started growing attracted to the characters.
I really do think MLP needs to be studied and analyzed by a research team to find out what caused this unique fascination of cartoon horse appeal and why even to this day the fandom still hasn't died down and still continues to keep going.

>quick
no
it took years
years and hundreds of human lifetimes worth of effort to construct the larger fanart ecosystem
thousands of personal hours consuming and interpreting that media in order to form the concepts

And not once did I say it was stupid. I've said it is a kids show, which it is.

It's been a decade and a half to get where we are.

Autism and ADD/ADHD. Every single horsefucker has one or both mental disorders.

>>42413892
Read fandom history. Halfway through season 1 it was already a huge thing causing trouble on /co/ and /b/. The initial spark caused a huge explosion right away. Some people had long fuses and joined much later, but mlp was big from the beginning. For me it took like 2 weeks of seeing ponies on /b/ before I tried it, because I was sure it has to be a joke. But 2 weeks was long enough to doubt enough to try it.

>>42413892
Millennia of bonding with horses brought us here. If you hate horses, you aren't human

>>42413912
And then there's you.

>>42413912
What the hell does ADD/ADHD have to do with like ponies? Autism is obvious but i dont get the connection between ADD/ADHD

>>42413931
Is this why MLP has the whitest fandom I've ever seen?

>>42413988
i even think it may be reverse. one buddy stopped watching MLP at season 2 because of his terrible attention span of a goldfish

>>42413991
Not white enough.

>I really do think MLP needs to be studied and analyzed by a research team
The research team will be infected too

>>42413859 (OP)
People originally liked it for the shows actual merit, now people just like it for the aesthetic.

I went from Season 1 to Season 9 without anyone mentioning 'bits' (bitcoin) even once to me. Why didn't you tell me anon????

Uhm. Arabs? They have a massive horse culture and invented best IRL horse, Arabians. They also decorate their beloved horses.

Millions of mostly white men are distracted from white women. Seems kinda Jewish.

>>42415628
Go ahead and pursue those amazing white women. You can have them all.

Unf. Dusty sex with Dust Devil.

It was the combination of a STRONG thirst for a comfy and good show, surprise and anons literally brainwashing each other and themselves.

>>42413991
>Focus on horses, unicorns, etc.
>Everything is some form of medieval trope, europeon fantasy or stolen from Tolkien

Pretty much yeah

If you know anything about fiction and spirituality, there is typically a realm out there for the fictional equivalent more often than not. You hear about how people take drugs and make shows, or have dreams and turn those dreams into shows? That's basically unconscious remote viewing across planes of reality.

>>42415354
holy hell was there a mlp bits currency? feels like something that would've happened

>>42414060
He's extremely racist

>>42416577
I got brainwashed?

I was never into the show. I'm into what the show could be and what the creative community does with it.

it certainly has an archetypal resonance like a good folk story, at first

I sorta wanted to check the show out at different ppints but didn't watch until January of this year.. Now it's the biggest autistic obsession I've ever had.

>>42413912
And? Is there a problem with that?

>>42413991
No

>>42413859 (OP)
i'm here because i want to cope

>>42419354
same but I started because of the April fool's shenanigans and now I can't stop thinking about ponies, this is a cry for help

>>42420117
No? I have Autism and ADD/ADHD too.

I want to be isekai'd into Equestria for all eternity so bad it hurts.

ADHD and autism are actually correlated, and many of the symptoms overlap. A lot of the time, someone who's diagnosed with only one condition shows many of the symptoms of the other, just not strongly enough to get an official diagnosis.

>>42420944
I dont like this fact. Not at all.
