It's just a internet fad I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow it passes.

This "fad" has been going for two years. Just last weekend there was a convention dedicated to the show with 4000 attendees. There's some coming up in Europe, one in Seattle in August, one in Sandusky in September. There's a professional documentary in the works that was fan funded on Kickstarter for $322,000 (second highest movie, go see for yourself) with an additional ~$30,000 through PayPal. It has its own board on the-imageboard-which-shall-not-be-named, its own full independent version of said imageboard's style, a news blog with over 200,000,000 views, a fan fiction site with over 100,000,000 views, its own social network similar to Facebook, a booming music and remix culture, and a dozen other major sites dedicated to it.

Try again.

yes that's generally how internet fads go. it gets 100 million people and then it disappears entirely. That's how the internet flows.

We have a thread we all have worked pretty hard on, so please read the OP for info

Yea but that's a thread for people who are fans of MLP.

I know a lot of folks like My Little Pony, it's about friendship and being kind to others while being funny at the same time. Personally I'm not into it. As to the gender issue I don't see it as a problem. Yea of course pink and purple ponies are seen as feminine, but that is just a generalization.

Who says pink is a feminine color, and blue a masculine? Society does.

You obviously don't know enough about the fandom if you think it's some kind of fad that could dissapear any moment.

in some languages like spanish pink is masculine

Eventually it will fade out like everything else.

An article in the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department in June 1918 said: "The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl."[18] From then until the 1940s, pink was considered appropriate for boys because being related to red it was the more masculine and decided color, while blue was considered appropriate for girls because it was the more delicate and dainty color, or related to the Virgin Mary.[19][20][21] Since the 1940s, the societal norm was inverted; pink became considered appropriate for girls and blue appropriate for boys, a practice that has continued into the 21st century.

The actual color of Tyrian purple, the original color purple from which the name purple is derived, is the color of a dye extracted from a mollusk found on the shores of the city of Tyre in ancient Phoenicia (present day Lebanon) that in classical antiquity became a symbol of royalty because only the very wealthy could afford it. Therefore, Tyrian purple was also called imperial purple.

Tyrian purple may have been discovered as early as the time of the Minoan civilization. Alexander the Great (when giving imperial audiences as the Emperor of the Macedonian Empire), the emperor of the Seleucid Empire, and the kings of Ptolemaic Egypt all wore Tyrian purple. The imperial robes of Roman emperors were Tyrian purple trimmed in metallic gold thread. The badge of office of a Roman Senator was a stripe of Tyrian purple on their white toga.[13] Tyrian purple was continued in use by the emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire until its final collapse in 1453.
