I don't know about you guys, but its essentially the only way for me to calm down from intense stress *cough Five Nights at Freddy's 2 cough*
I find watching cartoons to be relaxing, and I usually need to relax when I'm stressed, so I guess I do sometimes watch MLP as a method of stress relief. Not exclusively, though. I mostly just watch it because I enjoy it.
Hmm, not really. When I'm really stressed out I feel unable to enjoy most forms of entertainment. Pretty much the only thing that can help me relax then is listening to music.
Yes but only when new episodes are occurring. Other than that I use other methods for stress relief. Sometimes they don't work though. But I won't go into that as I almost got in trouble for it last time.
I've never really been stressed out so I mostly watch it for four reasons Reason One I'm a Brony Reason Two It's a really good show and I like it a lot. Reason Three I really like the music Reason Four I enjoy the comedy and references to various other forms of media.
Well, as I've noticed, MLP is a champion stress reliever for horror games and such. Freddy gets me everytime.
Ponies are cute, happy, colorful and no matter what happens to them you know everything will be fine and happy by the end of the episode...of course they're perfect stress relievers! And I agree with Sasponential, an episode of ponies is the perfect thing after being spooked. I've been to creeped out by creepypastas or horror films before, but ponies can fix that right up everytime.
I use "Oh My Goddess" for stress relief. Works much better and it's only two seasons long. By now, I know the characters like the back of my hand. I also read chapters of the manga.
