You guys realize you're just a rebranding of furries, right?
And I mean hell, when you go to a toy store you see the MLP stuff in the all pink aisle with the barbies and bratz dolls and whatever else it is that 3-10 year old girls play with. At least when I watch anime it's manly men doing manly things and they're all adults in adult situations doing adult things in adult lives.
MLP is just a show targeted at a certian audience (3-10 year old girls) made to move product to the said audience. For FUCKS SAKE ITS ON A TV CHANNEL OWNED BY HASBRO!
