Alright, I'll just get my opinion of the show and the fanbase out here because I'm not going to mention FiM on Music Banter outside of this thread (unless either someone questions me about my avatar or I'm still here next April and I make an entry related to it in my journal on April Fool's Day).
I'm a pretty casual fan of the show. Aside from a few shirts with some subtle references to the show that I ordered earlier this year, I don't own any merchandise. I don't force pony references into conversations and I rarely mention it on the internet. I just enjoy the show and watch some episodes whenever I feel like it because it's a refreshing change of pace from what I usually watch.
About Season 3: I thought that it was pretty damn underwhelming. The only episode that I can honestly say was good was Too Many Pinkies. Everything else that I've seen from this season was pretty forgettable. Hell, I haven't even watched the season finale yet (and I'll just say it right now: I don't give a **** about Twilight being an alicorn. She just got a pair of wings. Big ****ing whoop.). I'm probably just going to stick with the first two seasons from now on unless Season 4 ends up being good.
Now, about the fanbase: It's not as perverted as some people would like you to believe. Yes, there are some creepy individuals, but that's to be expected from a fanbase as large as the brony fanbase is.
HOWEVER: It is one of the most annoying fanbases in existence IMO. I'm actually pretty lucky in that most of my friends who are bronies are casual fans of the show, but I will admit that a lot of bronies are really annoying. I'll actually say that the FiM's fanbase is the second most annoying fandom I've seen (the most annoying being Homestuck's fanbase). Outside of watching a few fan videos (I really enjoy the Rainbow Dash Presents series), I stay away from most of the fanbase.
I'll also sum up my opinion about Equestria Girls right now: I'm not interested in it, so I won't watch it.
