My Little Pony

The original 1980s series was widely regarded as shit...

My Little Pony (MLP for short) is a toy and cartoon series created by Hasbro with a long and tortured history. Currently the meme of the moment, so rabid fa/tg/uys insist we have a sodding article about something that's intended for little girls. Which tells you everything you'd ever want to know about fa/tg/uys. The show inspiring works of concentrated hilarity and fail such as Don't Rest Your Hooves, Ponyfinder, and joking setups with the cast of the new series playing D&D and Warhammer 40,000.

Wait, Seriously?

The pony-show has inspired many, both on /tg/ and off of it because many fa/tg/uys are little girls.

Posting anything MLP-related will invariably produce biblical-level shitstorms on /tg/, as holdout fans of the series bitch and troll whilst a giant slice of of /tg/ rushes to sage and report the thread. It's one of the few rare things outside of he who must never be mentioned to inspire this kind of rage and righteous indignation on /tg/.

Yes, it's a show for little girls, but the majority of the fanbase are pedophiles and don't care. Yes, things in it make no sense, such as the fact that they have somehow constructed a village without actually possessing hands or opposable thumbs - but this is the same audience that enjoys Matt Wards writings. Yes, it's childish and silly, but the audience are to high and too stupid to give a fuck.

Characters and Such

They aren't any /tg/ inspired ponies worth talking about. Give it time.

Of Course, Mods are a Thing

With fragile egos in hand, the mods on /tg/ do, as ever, decide what is and is not considered traditional gaming. As a result, depending on who might be online at the moment, MLP is liable to result in a ban even if the ponies are discussed in the context of gaming. It really comes down to the fact that just about anything can be traditional gaming in the right hands, since interactive story-telling is older than genital warts and can easily be applied to anything, but anything that's this much of a troll magnet is always at risk of exterminatus.
