[{"role": "system", "content": "\"\" is an animated television series produced by Hasbro as part of the \"My Little Pony\" toy franchise, which is tied in with the 2010 launch of dolls and play sets, and original programming for U.S. cable channel Discovery Family (formerly Hub Network). Lauren Faust was selected as the creative developer and executive producer for the show, based on her previous animation experience with shows like \"The Powerpuff Girls\" and \"Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends\". Under Hasbro's guidance, Faust developed the show to appeal to the target demographic of young girls and their parents, but created characters and settings that challenged formerly stereotypical norms of \"girly\" images, and added adventure and humorous elements to keep parents interested. The show received praise from television critics and parental groups. It also found an unlikely audience in a large group of adult Internet users in late 2010 and early 2011, forming a subculture. These fans, mostly male, were drawn to the show's characters, stories, animation style, and influence of the show's propagation as an Internet meme. The fandom adopted the name brony (plural bronies), a portmanteau of \"bro\" and \"pony\". Though initially considered to propagate the humorous and ironic concept of people enjoying a show for young girls, the fandom has shown deeper appreciation for the show far beyond this concept, and is considered part of a New Sincerity trend.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Have you ever watched \"My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic\"?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "You mean the animated television series produced by hasbro?

I haven't seen that documentary, but people think they're weird because they are grown men that like a kid's show.

The show did eventually become a bit of an internet meme though."}]
