Barely joined the herd and is throwing the gauntlet down with two pony factions.

Doesn't even really stop at the six either. I've got minor characters as favorites ahead of some the mane six in fact.

Are those characters background ponies, perhaps?

No. With the possible exception of Derpy Hooves who became a bit character when she spoke.

That pleases me, for some odd reason.
The MLP fandom: one of the few fandoms where Canon and Fanon coexist peacefully and almost interchangeably (unless it's shipping). It certainly breaks the rules in that regard for the most part. The ony other fandom that surpasses this is Touhou's, which is almost entirely made of fanon and a canon that leads itself to continuous reinterpretation. Now that I think about it, MLP and Touhou are really simmilar in a few superficial aspects (mostly female casts, huge fanon and fandom, the prominence of magic), except the Touhou games are pretty niche and pretty much relegated to the "websphere" while MLP is popular all-around.

Every time someone says they don't like Fluttershy, I imagine them kicking a puppy while doing it.

I've never put stock into fanon characters or materials. Shipping just annoys me. Don't care for Lyra-BonBon, Vinyl - Octavia, really don't care for all the Derpy - Dinkie material either.
War never changes. And neither does the hilarity of overreactive netflix suggestion tweets.

I imagine them hating laughter altogether.

^Guys chill out not everybody likes all of the mane6 or the characters you like, everyone is entitled to like different ponies or such and it's not just ponies it applies to everything within the fandom. Some people may like background characters like lyra, bonbon, dinky. Others may only like speaking characters like the mane6, celestia, cmc, luna, big mac. Others may like non-canon or fanon characters. It's okay to not like the ponies I like, like it's okay for you to not like the ponies I like. It doesn't just apply to ponies, but the media around it. Some people may like fanfictions, whereas others may not be able to stand it. Everybody has different likes when it comes to the show.

...Some guy was talking about bombing netflix?... that's a little extreme.

The Pinkie - FS thing? Yeah, just some fun.
However, Fanon and shipping do annoy the hell out of me. But it's nothing worth really shitting on people's parade for when there's plenty of other material to forage through.

Might get hate for it, but Im just fine with shipping...mostly because I enjoy reading fanfiction and the sort and I do like reading stupid little romance/love stories. Though, I do like for the shippings to have something to base it off of..."she suddenly lurved her" is lazy and is a terrible reason to ship some characters.
Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr
Same here.
Personally, I really appreciate when the writer actually tries to expand upon the canon without making the couple go ostensibly out-of-character in the process. That's something that actually shows a degree of appreciation for the official material, even if it's satisfying a selfish desire.

Oh, and it also has to be well written
And thats the only way I can enjoy a shipping fic. Otherwise I sit there the whole time going "no no no no no no that is not how they should be reacting, what the hell is even going on"

All my hate.
But seriously, some stuff is good. RD that living out her wonderbolt dream flash for instance was a good fan flash. I can even see why people draw pics of whatever background pony someone likes. If it works it works.
But it's the over-insistence of fan imagined material as legit in that 'forced meme' way is what bugs me. MLP fans on reddit have a tendency to push this, which is a reason why I think it annoys me.

There's your problem? In all honesty, I've never visited Reddit and only know it's infamous for a lot of things.

I do love it when people try to push fan made content as canon though, thats always hilarious
Also, Ive never been on Reddit. The way its been advertised to me, I cant gain enough interest to go check out just what the fuck it is.
Never seen that flash

Oh the reddit MLP community is a great community and good source of a lot of mlp artwork, music, and episodes. Cool stuff like this is http://bigponymac.deviantart.com/#/d4wjl9m is linked there. But the place has a tendency to promote 'ship' material in bulk and it mucks up the browsing experience.
