60% because they like talking about things they enjoy much like you clearly enjoy 40k and came here to talk about it.

40% because it is amusing for the people who like it to watch the people who are violently against it freak out when it is mentioned. Much like being gay and flirting with someone you know is really uncomfortable around gay guys.

He wasn't hating, by the looks of it just asking.

To be on topic I have no idea and probably don't want to know what the appeal with MLP is.

It's well written, has good animation, believable characters, a decent plot, and has created a community that doesn't self-cannibalize at the drop of a hat.

It helps to recapture the feeling of waking up on a Saturday morning to watch cartoons. It's a wonderful, childlike feeling.

But mainly, I love it for the same reason I love Doctor Who when I started watching it.

It's fun. It's entertaining. You start wondering what next week's episode will be.

There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

I just wonder why I'm watching it...

Also, how do you wake up a sleeping dragon?

Anyone can enjoy anything if they have an open mind.

The people who watch MLP and hate it are the people who decided to hate it before they watched it.

Or they watched it and it wasn't for them I guess. I've seen bits of it and it's not that appealing to me.

Not finding it appealing and hating it are completely different.

Cause it's aimed at little girls? It's sort of a requirement for that targeted audience.

its not aimed at little girls, its aimed at the family.

ive seen lots of other shows out there aimed at kids,possibly girls specifically,and they weren't cute to me. plus faust has done other shows,and i never found them cute.

A show with animated ponies is aimed towards little girls as its primary audience.

It has taken on a group of males that like ponies..for whatever reason.

But really, a guy liking MLP is like a girl liking Transformers or G.I. Joe. There's a double standard there.

What does Imperial Guard ( in your avatar ) have. that MLP doesn't have?

Its just a visual representation, most people are beyond that intolerance xD

You get your lasguns and exterminatus, MLP get sonic rainboom and Buccaneer Blaze
You get psyckers, MLP gets telekinesis
You get your brother saving brother, MLP gets pony saving lots of ponies
Yoy get your drama via Chaos temptations, Rainbow dash fought against hers too.

MLP has everything warhammer has, and a bunch more in form of Parodies.

The only difference is, you take comfort in thinking little soldiers is manly. Which.... I respect the guys that tolerate MLP wayyyyyyyyy more.
because atleast they seem confident in what they like.

I think it's quite awkward when a grown man actively watches a little girls show by his own will.
