Since I plan to watch this show in the near future and form my own opinions, I will refrain from following your link for now.

While some of the behavior you describe can be construed as dangerously obsessive or volatile, it should also be taken in context of the program. The show is aimed at girls. From your brief descriptions alone I can tell those behaviors are exaggerated to teach basic lessons: learning to allow others to help you, and to watch for your own well being as well; taking joy from your experiences without obsessing over the outcome; and remembering that just because your friends cannot always pay attention to you, does not mean they do not care.

I could go on. Maybe it seems insane taken in a rational, adult context, but considering the show is not a character study of the human condition, I will have to disagree.

It's a children's show. There are naturally morals at the end of each episode, but ultimately, it's really just a bunch of cutesy entertainment. Just like BioWare's games (which I know you probably appreciate, since you post on this board). I love the writing the and how the characters are not perfect, pretty little ponies having tea parties all the time. They are each imperfect in their own way.

But, at the end of the day, much like how Mass Effect can't teach you anything about forming a good romantic relationship, neither than MLP teach morals about friendship. You are absolutely right in the regard. But remember, only certain people rationalize the show to such an extent, that to them, it seems like a reflection of adult life.

I am only a casual fan, and as much as I love the ponies, I know they are cartoon characters. Oftentimes, I feel as if the people on these forums obsess over Liara or Tali are exhibiting the same behavior as the people who obsess over these ponies.

MLP reminds me of Aesop Fables. I disagree that its all cutesy entertainment, theres something harder than that at its core. Like some kind of metal.
I argue that MLP DOES teach you morals about friendship. Just reflect on Twilight's letters to Princess Celestria,  their god-queen. Again with the Aesops, each episode literally ends with one.
Im not sure what you mean about it reflecting adult life, but the show does have food for thought.
I think you're over-reacting to the fanbase..I know half of the crap we Talimancers do is just to play up a reputation for giggles, the same could be said about the hardcore bronies out there. Though there will be exceptions.

I rather enjoy the show. it's got great writing and, unlike many shows aimed at a younger audience, doesn't talk down to the kids. i also think the show teaches a lot of good lessons about friendship and the support one can get from one's peer group, without those lessons coming across as preachy or overly moralistic.

Fluttershy is so adorable, it makes me squee. Manly squee, of course.

QFT

I love Rarity.

Hmm, does watching MLP prove my security in my masculinity, or does it signify that I am too unsure of my masculinity so I watch a show that gives off the illusion that I don't care about my masculinity to actually hide my lack of security in my masculinity.

After seeing this thread, i know now that all is not lost for humanity....

Rainbowdash is best. She broke the laws of reality, and then said 'no' when reality tried to mend itself.

[TK Dude]

I like Pinkie Pie. She can break the fourth wall and defy the logic of Newton physics.
