By Perverts For Perverts

It's come to my attention, along with the attention of the entire 30 year old-single-living in parents basement genre of the male population that the My Little Pony flash cartoon has become outstandingly popular. 
  At first I was disgusted. A new My Little Pony? Out rage! How dare they! There was nothing wrong with my generation's M.L.P!  Blasphemy! They can't just do this! There should be steps. Procedures! A law should have to be passed before they remake any young child's memories.
  "Have you seen the new My Little Pony?" or "You should really start watching it. It's jolly fun!"  Okay, so, maybe my few human aquaintences didn't really say 'jolly fun'. But boy did they ever heckle me about refusing to watch a bunch of cranked out miniature horses that contracted their names from exactly what they looked like. "Rainbow Dash."  "Twilight."  "Pinkie Pie."  I don't know WHAT a pinkie pie is, but I bet it's disgusting. I don't even like regular pies.

But one day. Maybe a month or so ago. It all became clear. Clear as crystal, me hardies. 
  I was flipping channels on my TV. My normal childish programming of Sponge Bob had run dry and I had to refuel my brain with nonsense while I waited for Nick to restock their line up with my favourite yellow square.
  I saw it. After 5 minutes of hesitating I slowly hit the "enter" button, not knowing the sort of intoxication I was about to unleash onto myself.
   Well, it wasn't so bad. High pitched voices. Hideously bright colours. Large eyes. Oh. Oh, those eyes. They even managed to retain the classic My Little Pony shape.. they are just a little leaner. Longer in the leg. Why would they have to be leaner? Why would their legs have to be longer? Why would they be drawn more "pretty" and less "cutesy"?  Why do they have to resemble goofy teenage girls?

I was hooked from that there on. But I never ceased believing there was something off about the show. I just couldn't put my finger on it.. I would tune in every other day, maybe while I nursed the baby to watch the stupid antics of stupid coloured horses. Aloof to the bigger picture.

Now I am no stranger to the interwebs. In fact, I'm all over demotivational posters, LOLcats, Orly owls and 4Chan. I could spot you a Meme if it was a hundred websites away. I helped create some of those domo memes you see out there. I was one of the first members of Gaiaonline.com and I'm a roleplaying extraordinare.
  I know to avoid certain things too. Like the trolls. In fact, I was gifted, it seemed on forums, in the art of "trolling the trolls". I could make any 14 year old boy cry with in minutes. One moment he's on top of the networking world. Earning points becoming the most popular topic on the website, all because he wanted to say Hitler did your mom.  To which any other 14 year old reaction is "*GASP* Hitler is a bad person! And he did YOUR mom!"  And so it begain.  Then I would come in, swift, silent. Like a internet ninja and unleash holy trolling hell upon the poor lad. "Your mom..IS Hitler."  Oh shyt. She did it now! It's all going up in smoke!
  I also knew my place among the manga/fan based world. Anime is great. Manga, useful for when you're bored on the bus. Nekos, adorable. Cat girls, HOT! Furries? Either meant to be stomped or meant for you to run away in riveting terror. No normal human being, not a one, would mingle with a furry.
  And I don't mean Furries as in Bugs Bunny. Or some comic where ALL the characters are some animal based humanoid. Those are just silly.  I mean the kind of furries that are into other furries. The kind that ask you "can I pet your dog?" Then spend 10 minutes talking about how sexy that dog is. No. That's not a normal psyche. And should be avoided at all costs.

It dawned on me.

Oh. My. Goard. They.. were Furries. My Little Pony has become the object of every creepy teenage boys fantasy, and here I was helping the cause. The horses DID resemble teenage girls, for a reason. Girls think they are adorable, but most of the guys I know, guys who told me to watch this show, loves it for all the weird reasons I always was so careful to avoid.
  A lot of it is in jest, of course. You see silly pictures of the Pony's facial expressions with some hilariously perverted caption at the bottom. They do it to all cartoons. But the reason this show has become so WILDLY popular, is because it's attracting a wider genre of viewers, not just little 9 year old girls or lazy bums like me.

And it's addicting. I mean, look at these guys!
What is not to love?! So what if some guy has adopted the show as well?  It's like my eyes are smoking crack. I  see it on TV I can't not watch it. Which, honestly probably runs into a whole different issue I have developed. It's not the pervy aspect either any more. I mean, I still know some guys that would prove that wrong. But really what it is, is a total Win.

They are created by the same dudes who did the Power Puff Girls. Some how working their ultimate trolling magic, they have whipped up more Sugar, spice and everything nice, added some Chemical X and some glue and BOOM!   They have created the biggest "Meme" out there today right now. They have created something so hilarious, that girls watch it for the nestolgia, and boys watch it because it's geared that way. It's genious!

Here are just some examples of what I mean and how they have become one of the biggest pervy joke topics of the internet today:
                                        

There's tons of others, but none that I would feel good about posting on this blog right now LOL They get a little raunchy.  While we're still on the subject though, here! Have some M.L.P. music!

Yeah, that's right. They have their own dubstep. Their trolling power is over 9000!!!!  (have another throw back)

All in all, when it comes down to it, the show is a win. And toy sales have sky rocketed. Why can't I ever think of crap like this!? I could be a millionare right now. Thanks, Power Puff guys!
