of course. I'm a huge fan of Lauren Faust, its creative director. she also did Powerpuff Girls, another great show

I was unaware of that. I grew up watching Powerpuff Girls, but I can't say I'm an MLP fan. Can you fill me in on its concept and fandom?
1_Wizard
well, it's meant for young girls and their parents....meant for.......

Yeah, I know a bit about the spread of the fandom. I still don't see the appeal for those outside of the target audience.

Some websites even decided to ban it outright, or form a "containment board" where it was MLP only and any MLP posts outside that board would be deleted and result in a ban

yeah the "bronies" as they're called are a weird group indeed

Luckily I know none in real life. Or so I think.
