Idk how to describe it.
But like, I was scrolling yt and saw something about my little pony pop up and it made me realize that i would’ve loved mlp so much as a kid. I even remember in kindergarten when I was trying to play with mlp dolls and another kid came up to me and said “those are for girls.” [I’m not like blaming him for everything, it’s just struck me how long I’ve had that memory for]. I was always really insecure about watching “girl” shows and movies for so long that I actively felt uncomfortable when they were on.
Or just playing with dolls in general. I did like playing with cars and stuff as a kid but I think i would have really liked dolls too.
But like…I cant really do those now. At least not in the same way, yknow? I’m an adult and watching mlp is…not exactly mentally stimulating. At least that’s my impression.
I watched My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic as a teenager. That show was pretty cool although I stopped watching it because I thought I got repetitive. The show is meant for kids and as a kid show it is league ahead of other kid shows. But as an adult now, I do not think I could have enjoyed that show as much as when I was a teenager and did not have access to adult shows with more complexity. Although I think out of any animated kids show from the 2010s, Gravity Falls will always be near to my heart and still holds up even as an adult. Sorry I did not see Adventure Time or Regular Show. And I barely watched Steven Universe.
I was a cisgender dude watching it. I have two Fluttershy plushies and a plastic collectible and one Pinkie Pie plushie because my parents did not know what to give me as a teenager, so they just started giving MLP stuff.
