(I didn't, largely since I've never watched a single episode, but the psychic damage and whiplash of Wholesome Pony Show having said this line was too fuckn much for me)

EDIT: More replies than upbears now. It’s probably an official struggle session now (although most of it is that one person). One must imagine SisyFEWs happy.

    MLP is literally for babies that barely comprehend language and operates as such.

    You clearly don't actually know anything about the show and you're just going off of either your own assumptions or what other people have told you. I'd explain why you're wrong, but I've dealt with enough people like you to know you'd just double down. You don't have any good reason for believing what you believe. You just want an excuse to feel superior to other people.

          As @LGOrcStreetSamurai@hexbear.net already put it in this thread, the response to that show in retrospect does say a lot about the people making that response.

          There's plenty of room to criticize its ideology and its political messages, but "X IS FOR BABIES" dogma is just... exhausting. And feeds into so much bullying-adjacent reactionary hog shit. disgost

              You know, my trans roommate likes MLP. She used to live with her abusive family who tried to force her to detransition. Among many other ways they abused her was ridiculing her for liking MLP and forcing her to hide her interest in it, and their attitude towards her interest in the show is a lot like what I'm seeing from you right now.

                I work in a public school where I had seen "mature" kids bully other kids for having MLP flair on their backpacks. Or having the wrong color backpacks. Or for seeming too sensitive. Such "mature" kids tended to go to detention a lot and made teaching a lot harder than it had to be because that "maturity" seemed to compel them to bully people. debord-tired

                The shows have changed over time, but the "X IS FOR BABIES" brainworms wriggle through, year after year.

                  Holy shit the person we were arguing with went into the megathread to passive-aggressively call us out data-laughing

                  It's a good thing we have people like that around to show all the babies what a shining example of maturity looks like

                    Memes about the cointoss chance of chuddery from the anime avatar haver aside, it's pretty rich that ALL CARTOONS ARE FOR BABIES yet apparently anime cartoons are for Mature AdultPeople. morshupls

              You are a baby. It's why you need the bright colored images of emojis in all of your treat treatises.

                  It's one of those "for children, but not hostile toward adults that are also present" shows.

                  But apparently it's also rage bait for very mature posters here. frothingfash

        Histerical baby shit.

        In one line you managed to present an adolescent-like preoccupation with performative adulthood in a bullying way and added some misogyny! congratulations

            The way you're presenting your "X IS FOR BABIES" dogma could be plucked right out of a grade school cafeteria from about ten years ago.

            It really does seem immature to be that mad about people enjoying something that has insufficient "mature" blood, gore, or sexual violence for your tastes.

            EDIT:

            Oh, you just posted this too:

                I do work in a public school; I sort of see bullies like you on a regular basis there, often harassing kids that did nothing except have the wrong color backpack, and such "mature" people like you tend to get detention. debord-tired
