The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

The title says it all. Full answers, no holds bar. But preferably not using the activities of a minority as justification.
 
I’m just curious really.

Not a Llama - Happy April Fools Day!

/mlp/ is full of garbage posts and has very, very little show discussion - with the possible exception of a new episode’s airdate. Most of the ‘general’ type threads are fetishistic and aren’t meaningful to those unfamiliar and/or uninterested with their content.
 
The My Little Pony General (MLPG) thread - often considered a ‘circlejerk’ - is actually one of the more sane and reasonable parts of /mlp/, though it carries on like a conversation and is still prone to randomness.
 
/mlp/ is also a harsh critic of anything that comes out of the fandom. While some posters have been known to go out of their way to find something “bad” for /mlp/ to bash and harangue, they can still be brutally honest critics. They pride themselves on not being a ‘hugbox’ like Ponychan. Yes, there are trolls and unreasonable opinions among them, but they’re still anonymous posters on the Internet and you should only really consider what they say as if it’s some new perspective on a subject.
 
On the whole, /mlp/ is bad. Sifting through the content does yield some interesting things occasionally.

They’re no better or worse than any segment of the fandom, really. They do project more than most, and can be harsh critics, but sometimes gold comes out.
 
One /mlp/ anon did sum it up like this: “You’d be hard pressed to find a place that hates the show and fans more than here.”

Because I can’t read it without feeling like I’m in a tumble dryer full of early teens that just learned a new cuss word.
 
Yeah, every other page has a thread that might be worth reading, but I’m not willing to wade through the infinite sea of half-assed memetic insults and glorified +1s to get to it. And there’s also the intentionally offensive crap done for the lulz; see mandopedo, cum on toy, Snowdrop skullfucking, the “lets’s shop Tara getting gangbanged” threads, etc. Seriously, it’s not free speech or even offensive, it’s just a marathon of tired groans.
 
Which is a shame, because good stuff does come out of /mlp/. See drawthreads, some decent memes (and the like) and recently Do or Deer.
 
Considering the above and that generally people repost the worst of the worst onto derpi that I have to deal with, well, yeah…

A lot of hate in this thread huh?
 
Well, Milky Way General is awesome, but as for other threads I don’t know… at least it’s better than ponychan.

Again, it’s not really any different than any segment of any fandom that is extremely opinionated and has nothing to lose.
 
 
@gg666  
They don’t tell people not to. They just tell people to keep it to themselves, which they essentially do with anything involving pony.

It’s 4chan.
 
Just like any other corner of 4chan.
 
If you have yet to discover what’s wrong with 4chan than I suggest you stop now before you loose all hope in mankind.

It's a cartoon show!
The posting culture that’s much akin to what /b/’s is where all the problems from that board stems from.
