I've never been to 4chan, ever. I just like the show. I didn't even know it was popular when I first saw it, well I knew that it was well recieved because the first time I saw it was on YouTube, and I just thought it was a fanmade thing,I didn't even know it was a real show until I did research on it. Now I just love it, and will show my support to it. I don't by the whole "the fans force it down our throats thing" because we don't. The internet is public so fans of something will discuss it publically. We have a thread dedicated to Friendship is Magic, but we also have threads dedicated to other things, some of them you may be a fan of. If we were forcing it down your throat, we'd interupt every other thread and insisting "you should be talking about ponies!" we don't do that.

I'm really tired of the whole popularity thing. You think I care about the popularity of FIM? Okay, it feels good when something I like is popular, but did I become a fan based on it's popularity? No I became a fan because I liked it. I am a fan of many things that were never popular, ever, and sometimes, even though I respected other people's opinions it was always kind of sad, tat it was hard for me to publically express my love for something that no one liked. But I would be a fan whatever happened. If Friendship is Magic was a hated show I'd still like it, because at the end of the day, while I respect everyone elses opinion. I listen to mine first.
