For those that don't want to do a google search, MLP:FiM = My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (I had to look it up)
Is this one of those kid shows that adults watch these days? A show that a decent fraction of male LW readers know enough about to "ruminate on"?
I already have to navigate through my social world with the handicap of counting a work of Harry Potter fanfiction among my favorite books. If I end up owning seasons of My Little Pony because of this site I'm going to be very upset.
Yup. Try watching a few episodes, it's pretty good.
Start at the beginning. Don't throw the dice with the more recent stuff.
Updating usefulness of the abbreviation. My initial consideration was whether I should just abbreviate it MLP, since of course people would know I was referring to Friendship is Magic. It gets enough references around here I figured it was in the popular consciousness.
In my opinion, it's not an exceptionally good show. Though from what I've read so far, Fallout:Equestria is awesome.
Find better friends!
I have never heard of Fallout:Equestria, but I started laughing out loud as soon as I read the title. Is this the authoritative source for the story ?
War. War never changes...
Not sure about definitive, but it seems to be complete.
F:E is surprisingly, serious, gritty, and well-written. It's also longer than War and Peace.
First, share your respective definitions of "better" with regard to friends.
Not exhaustive, but "friends for which liking awesome things is not a handicap" is a good start.
Also, look for friends who are at least happy for your sake if you're enthusiastic about something non-harmful.
The show is actually fairly popular amongst the male internet nerd demographic. The original creator, Lauren Faust, was a well-liked animator beforehand, and something about it just caught the popular imagination ('nerdy' references, characters and animation, well-timed slanderous editorials, etc.). There's a huge fandom that constantly produces ludicrous streams of stuff.
There's been some discussion of it on LW, and I expect there's a not-insignificant population of fans here. Or "bronies", as some style themselves.
Couldn't have said it any better.
Solution make friends read it.
By the way, Friendship is Science in Chapter 64 of HPMoR is a reference to Friendship is Magic.
