actually one of the most rationality-inspiring shows

Look, I enjoy Friendship is Magic too, but I think you may be suffering from a halo effect. Rationality is great, and this cartoon is great, but that doesn't mean the two have anything to do with each other.

Can we rename the Halo Effect to the Pony Effect?

And when someone exhibits this behavior toward something we can refer to that thing as their Little Pony?
