And with this statement... I'll post my own... ...Anonymity is a known factor... in many things on the internet. ...But you have to realize... the worst things in the world... are people. We do many things, most of which... we don't regret. The internet... only serves to help this... agenda.
Saikyo brings up a good point. We chide a person for being active about their dislikes, yet are surprised when someone mentions that we too are doing the same thing. Is there really anything else to say?
These are just stubborn people who just don't know why the show is so popular, refuse to learn why, and make up an evil reason for it. The same thing happened with South Park when it was in it's first or second season, as well as the Simpsons, Beavis and Butthead, and I wouldn't be surprise if the 1989 TMNT had to go threw the same crap (we just didn't know about it because the public internet wasn't born yet).
Like I have mentioned on multiple occasions wilful ignorance is a terrible thing, people should not judge things until they have observed the facts. That kid's parents should have researched MLP seen that their kid is far from alone and seen that the show is far from a stereotypical little girls show. But no they would rather see their kid live on the street then make that small effort. It should be illegal to do that to your own children. But then again I've heard it is still legal in the US to lock your kids in a cupboard. As long as you don't leave physical marks of a beating or something you can do what ever you want with your kids. That needs to stop. Not just for the sake of kids getting tortured for silly little things like ponies. But also religion (or lack of), sexual preference, questioning their parents authority or just wanting to be fed more. A best friend of mine used to live through hell at the age of 17 when his mum had an abusing boyfriend. I have witnessed the stories and seen them repeated over and over when reading articles about kids going through all kinds of torture for not conforming to their parents rules.
