/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.
