Alright, I saw the 3 locked topics back there, and ponies happen to be my favorite subject of discussion, so I'm creating this one.
I'm making only one, so please don't lock it. XD

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a Canadian / American flash cartoon series, produced by Studio B Productions, based on the My Little Pony universe. It was developed for television by Lauren Faust, who also did major work on both The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Since its on-air debut in October 2010, the series became a popular subject of threads, reaction images and image macros on 4chan.

Fans outside the show's demographic, especially teen and adult male fans, have come to be known as "bronies", and occasionally use ponies to derail threads. Although fans are generally known as bronies all across the internet, on 4chan, bronies who post ponies mainly on /co/ have been called "colts"

On October 10, 2010, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was aired as part of the debut of the new television network, The Hub, which replaced Discovery Kids. On October 19, 2010, Cartoon Brew wrote an article about the show titled "The End of the Creator-Driven Era in TV Animation", which had an oddly alarmist tone to it. Threads on 4chan's comic and cartoon board, /co/, attacked and made fun of the article for this reason. The article and the threads generated /co/'s initial interest in the show, causing several members to go and watch the first episode. After the second episode aired on October 22nd, threads about the ponies started to boom even more, gaining the show fans outside of its target demographic.

The series stars a unicorn pony named Twilight Sparkle, who has been known to be a pupil of the world's ruler, Princess Celestia. Seeing the young pony buried in books, the princess gives her the task of making friends, sending her, and a young dragon named Spike, to Ponyville. There, they meet some interesting ponies, including tomboyish Rainbow Dash, glamorous Rarity, hard-working Applejack, timid Fluttershy, and hyperactive Pinkie Pie. Together, they explore the ins and outs of the town, solve various problems, and make even more friends. Every day is a lesson for Twilight, but none as important as the magic of friendship. At the end of each episode, Twilight relays a report to her mentor Celestia, telling her what friendship has taught her.

Episodes can be easily found on YouTube, more often than not in HD. Many users have posted the whole first season on their account such as MAST3RLINKX and MenloMarseilles. For this reason, MAST3RLINKX has had his channel taken down many times by "Hasbro, Inc." (though it has not been confirmed whether or not it was actually Hasbro, or just a troll who filed the copyright infringement claim). YouTube user MrYaridovich, in addition to contributing much to the Brony community via his videos, runs a 24/7 synchtube stream dedicated to playing episodes of the show. Since the show generates more profits through merchandise than it does actual viewership, Hasbro has not removed any episodes posted online as of yet. Many of the comments on youtube videos of the series show genuine appreciation for the show.

And now, we discuss Friendship, and Magic, and stuff...

I'm hoping to have a good thread with this, rather than have a huge argument/flame war started, like sniper.
