Like most of the KR and Sentai fans here, give it time.
It took me 18 episodes to even remotely begin enjoying it, my friend 7, another took 23. However, no show is for everyone, so I'm not pushing it. I've argued with Sentai fans who have never seen the Sentai they're arguing about just to make Power Rangers seem like a stupid kids show (How did I know the guy had no knowledge? He couldn't name the Magna Defender's Japanese name in Gingaman, but was just yelling and screaming over how PR is a bastardization and blah blah), but that didn't make me denounce Sentai just because of some bad apples. I'm not going to push it though, because I hate it when my friend pushes anime on me, nor can I ask you to give it another chance if you've watched it and didn't like it (Though I will say that the first 6 episodes, the first 2 moreso, aren't very good...). ^^ |

Galvantula, there are a few things to consider about pony fans in general. First of all, the fandom is huge. Thus, you would find a larger number of bad apples. Second, and perhaps more importantly, pony fans have a severe persecuted mentality and become a touch too sensitive about supposed attacks against their show. Third, there are many overzealous pony fans that tend to be rather narrow-minded in their views. They impose such narrow-mindedness even on us fans, arguing against and hating certain things really vocally. Finally, there are many trolls in the pony fandom that irritate even us fans.
I'm sorry you had to experience the idiocy of some fans on Youtube. The Youtube comments section is really the cesspool of the worst aspects of any fandom. If I were to judge based on Youtube commenters, Super Sentai fans would be Sentai-only purists who seem out to proselytize Power Rangers fans, Kamen Rider fans would be kids who want to look more mature than they are, Star Wars fans are narrow-minded and who have never watched beyond Return of the Jedi or The Phantom Menace, comic book fans want 100% comic faithfulness when adapting movies and can never be satisfied, etc. You would have to find a level-headed website of dedicated fans to see that many pony fans really do try to embody their love and tolerate mantra. Like Matrixbeast said, even Toku fans can be insane, but places like Tokunation prove there are many good apples along with the bad. That said, however, I won't be strong-arming you to watch it of course. It is my opinion, though, that the first few episodes haven't really kicked things off yet. Still, I do realize liking ponies is still a rather niche thing.

Glad to hear that guys. I may never watch the show but it's nice to have level heads to talk to. It's been a long time since I was on a forum so I'm ruster than I realise. I'm sorry about lashing out the show. Hopefully this won't happen again.

Ah, that was during that controversial time when Derpy was said to be offensive to the mentally challenged. I was rather surprised it got as controversial as it did, it never seemed like Derpy was a deliberately offensive character.

I'm tired of Derpy :I
All her videos (And even some not about her) are just fans bitching over the controversy...

I really do love Derpy, she's really held a special place for me since the fandom moulded her some time ago. I guess fans just saw their identities threatened by what happened to Derpy and they might have overreacted like bronies usually do. However, I do understand how they feel, I was rather disappointed with the whole issue too.

I understand how they feel.
But the comments are part of the reason why I love watching pony vids (Especially ones that are clips from the show). And Derpy's all just changed into a moral debate vs censoring of a show, and it's boring :I That, and Rose was always prettier~
