Actually, I hate MLP very much. And, since I'm bored, have nothing better to do, and wanna explain why I hate it, allow me to go off on a rant explaining why:

First off, let's face it, I'm a dude so- although there are some male bronies- I'm obligated to hate anything MLP related.

Secondly, I can't stand the characters in it (even though that's what people about it seem to love)- they're all annoying (well, RD and Fluttershy are "meh"), they're all overly used stereotypes, and- and this is the big issue that I have with the show- the characters never get any character development, because usually the show decides to make a joke instead of develop them (for example, check out Season Two's first episode- when the dragon tried to corrupt Fluttershy and Fluttershy said "oh, no, I'm useless, and I think it's great to have friends who understand that", the writers, instead of making Fluttershy realize what she's good at for a lot of development, decided to turn it into a cheap joke by the dragon hitting er on the head and she was corrupted anyways).

Thirdly, the jokes in it really aren't very good- sure, I suppose that some are funny (I chuckled at the ones which became memes), but the majority of them will- at best- cause you to smile, very few can make you laugh.

Fourthly, as you already pointed out, the fandom for the show is terrifying. Like, seriously, who would not only bring up that they want to have beastality, but then have other people agree with them?

Overall, although I can see why people like this show, I still hate it. A lot.
