Why Mainstream Sucks

[benguino]

I wouldn't call My Little Pony mainstream. If anything, I swear it seems like so many people are in the fandom just so they can appear to be different from everybody else (the exact opposite of mainstream). They notice the niche or sub-culture is large enough where they can still feel accepted by a large community of people thus it's more convincing to join the fandom. If anything, the mlp fandom is the mainstream with respect to all the people trying not to be mainstream.
