My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is for little girls

I have watched My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic for awhile now and I have noticed it doesn't seem like a normal girl show. It does show caring and friendship but it does have very good comical elements and a good story. It may seem like a girly show just because of the name but it truly isn't. Now I have been ridiculed for it. I have showed my friends the show and they would just laugh at me but I never cared. Even in my art class where I avidly draw them. I have tried to show them how non-girly the show is, such as the Discord episodes but they just don't seem to notice the difference. The overall starter of the show, Lauren Frost, has been in other good projects such as Foster's Home for Imaginary friends and (don't know if I am helping for hurting myself with his one) Powerpuff Girls (which I also watch). She is a very good artist and story line creator. She quite the show after the first season but still helps with story lines and artistry. Now here is my definition of "girly". A poor excuse for guys not to like something. We don't hate on girls who like football or even play football, we may even like them more for it. We would call girls like this "tomboys". But now for being a "girly show" as it has been called it seems only fair to point out some of these "girly factors". Guys would more be into the anime seen(which I am), and girls into a cartoon way with an equal ground into live shows such as NCIS or I Survived(just two examples). Cartoons have gone astray from "normal ones" like Dexter's Laboratory turning them into Regular Show or Adventure Time which use some choice language but time to get back on subject. The color and mood of MLP FiM is very bright and vibrant at most times which seems to repel male audiences since I would say a typical male would like dark with some light and at lease a moderate amount of action spread throughout the show, which MLP FiM has(such as the first episode of the show). Continuing to show some "girly aspects" would be there names. Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbowdash; not typical names guys would come up with but they are very unique and are true to the characters "jobs" and color schemes. Furthermore it seems that some episodes, like the recent Sisterhood Social, seems to be girl related but I enjoyed the episode very much. Now onto some parts of the show, as a guy, that I liked. There are the "fight scenes" that happen such as the main six against a Chimera, that turned into it only have a thorn in its paw but there was some "fighting". There truly aren't many manly features about this show but for an odd reason lots of males and not just adults, teenagers such as myself watch it with great vigor. I would watch this show everyday if I could but I just don't the time.Now some people may argue, well they guys only watch it because they are babysitting their little sisters(trust me I have had this excuse). That isn't the case. Now to have any chance in a second round(if there will be one) I shall not say everything in the first round. If anyone excepts this(which I hope someone will) I will gladly thank them for helping me get this out fully. My school has no debate club and this is a good place for me to let out my anger and passions.
