You won't agree. But the reason why people like the show is that is some of the best writing, characterization and even Humor in a cartoon in years. Some people even say it reminds them of how cartoons went in the 90's

Examples of this...?

EDIT: And yes, I have watched it before. I found no examples of this.
 
I probably will after I eat lunch. The only part of the show that was funny was how the puny dragon kid laughed at all the idiotic ponies.

EDIT: Ate lunch and read the article.

The reason Bronies often get people offside is that they give no consideration to outsiders as to just how strange it can look to someone who has no idea what is going on.

Definitely. It's like, "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON"T LIKE MY LITTLE PONY? SHUN THE NON BELIEVER!"

The Bronies arguments for loving the show can be narrowed down to four things. 1: The animation is good. 2: The story is great. 3: It’s unexpectedly funny. 4: It was developed by Lauren Faust.

1. True, but practically every show these days has great animation. Plus, you don't need great animation to make a good cartoon. The old Looney Toons and Tom and Jerry were great but didn't exactly have the best animation.

2. *shrugs* It's okay. Nothing impressive, but then again, you can't really have an amazing story in a 15-minute cartoon, so... Still. Nothing special.

3. Phineas and Ferb has the unexpectedly funny thing down better than this show. I will admit that MLP isn't bad at comedy, but it isn't anything spectacular like Phineas and Ferb is.

4. Why in the world is this a good reason? Just because a story is made by someone does not necessarily mean it's good. Look at George Lucas. He wrote the Star Wars original trilogy which was wonderful, and then bombed the prequel trilogy. And don't even mention Howard the Duck.
 
You don't really sound like you read the entire one. Those 4 things isn't the guys point.

But really, can't you just leave us alone on it. You can dislike it all you want, but it's only bad if you take up offense enough to want to argue with us about it all the time. We like it, you don't. Can we leave it like that?

EDIT: And honestly I hate arguing, but if I must defend some things I will.

I did. Those are quotes from the article.

I just haven't gotten a reason to like it that I agree with, so I can't understand why people do. I would like to get just one good reason and then I'll leave you be.
 
I'm not starting an argument or anything, I think this is why some people think it's "different" that males like this MLP show:
In my opinion, MLP has always been a toy targeted at young girls, and you never really think of boys liking MLP. I guess maybe if all of us girls got together and started like GI Joes, then would we get a similar reaction?
Once again, I'm not trying to start or add to the argument already. I'm just giving a perspective out here.
