Why do I watch MLP if I hate?

(Explanation, not a goad)

THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO WATCH THE SHOW IF YOU HATE IT.

Agreed, but I HAVE reasons...!

If you don't like something DON'T WATCH IT

I'm afraid it doesn't work that way...

It's There no matter what: MLP aired in 2010, but I didn't hear of it in 2012. I didn't watch it, but just seeing fanarts, avatars, hearing people talk of it, and knowing what the show stood for (Friendship and Morality in ways that the world DOESN'T WORK) was more than enough to piss me off that I couldn't sleep well.

Then it got worse as people were taking the show far too seriously (Worse than how I took Things change seriously) They were actually trying to pass on the ponies messages to people, and trying to force their views on others to get them to accept friendship. If you refused, you got trolled.

Bottomline of this one is, I never HAD to watch the show. It was already ticking me off anyways.

Already BEEN watching it: Even if I stopped watching it now... it's way too late, I've been watching it all up to now. (You WATCHED IT... you can't UN-WATCH IT)

This is also the same situation I have with Teen Titans (Things Change) Digimon, and all the rest of them... Once the anger is there... IT'S THERE TO STAY. It'll trigger off when you least expect it.

Hell, part of the reason I don't sleep well is because, even when I'm not at a computer, not watching TV, or anything... when I'm just lying in bed, doing nothing, trying to fall asleep or already asleep... all of a sudden... BOOM!! I'm suddenly thinking about it, and it pisses me off making it hard to get back to sleep.

It doesn't matter where I am, what I'm doing... It's gonna be there, pop up when you least expect it. Like a Jekyll to Hyde transformation. There is no escape!

Making Fanfics: As you know I make fanfics and post them, because it's been the only thing that even remotely helps me to cool off (By bashing and torturing these characters, and putting them through all this hell... like payback) And other people who may feel the same as me can read them to take some of their own sting away.

It's like having an asthma attack, and taking a puff of your medicine (If you don't... it could get pretty serious)

But like all fanfiction, you cannot just JUMP into the story like that (I did it with that crap MAGIC IS BELIEVING. Just wrote it without watching) That's no good.

No, you have to watch the show so you can study it, observe it. This way I know how the characters act, and I know what to CUT OFF for my Starfleet series. Plus, at least now I'm not one of those dicks who says he hates something without even looking at it.

At least I watched it, and I KNOW what I'm hating about it.

Even though the show still tortures me (Especially through watching it) If wanna write and bash about it so I can sleep better... gotta bite the bullet.

And noooooooo... don't tell me to just "READ THE WIKI" like others have poorly suggested. That's not good enough. The reading will only give SOME information, but not the kind I truly need.

Captain Kirk: "I'm not sending anyone anywhere. Unmanned probes can give us the information to destroy this thing, if it CAN be destroyed."

Spock: "I must differ with you, Captain. We have sent unmanned probes into it. They have given us SOME information, but they have not told u what we need to know, and we cannot afford the power to take blind-shots at it hoping to kill it."

So again...

THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO WATCH THE SHOW IF YOU HATE IT.

Agreed, but I HAVE reasons...!
