Finally remembered to go back and add "4 LEGS GOOD 2 LEGS BAD!" like I originally intended.
Moral: Don't knock it till you try it.
Equestria Girls is deeply offensive as a *concept*; the very *idea* of it is terrible like a jockstrap full of smallpox, there is just no way they can make it any good. I will not watch even a moment of it, and will be angry every time it accidentally gets in front of me.
This is really more about the fandom reaction to The Horror than The Horror itself; the angry mob has a point, they just shouldn't blame Lyra for it.
Sooo you're saying that the Brony rule of "Love and Tolerate" doesn't apply to anything human related despite the fact that incredible amounts of us have done humanized drawings of then, humanized fanfictions of them, and have actually wanted to see a show for them as humans? Hell, certain bronies even did Rule 34 stuff of them Humanized(hey, it's better than creating pony sex)!! And honestly, I recall seeing a comic on here somewhere with Human Twi telling off certain bronies about how they're fine with humanized pony art but a tv show of it comes along and they hate it?!
Point being, WTF HAPPENED TO OUR #1 RULE: LOVE AND TOLERATE?! SINCE WHEN DID BRONIES LIKE TO CLASSIFY THEMSELVES AS BRAINDEAD HYPOCRITES?! As a brony who is giving it a chance, just like I did with the main series, I am disappoint as f*ck.
If Equestria Girls were just another mindless Bratz/Winx Club/Monster High tween fashion doll show, I wouldn't care, they're a dime a dozen and can be safely ignored. It's not. It's a mindless tween fashion doll show that's been shoehorned into the MLP:FIM franchise in a transparent attempt to capitalize on FIM's popularity, and it is inherently terrible because of it. I will *not* be "giving it a chance", and I sincerely hope it fails spectacularly and whatever executive was responsible for it becomes a pariah in the industry.
Don't judge a book by its cover. You never know, it may just be featuring the characters with the same kind of personality as their pony counterparts. But seriously, am I the only Brony willing to stand by the eternal rule of Bronies being "Love and Tolerate" and give the show a chance before saying anything about it?
So far, from what I've seen online, about 15-20% of FIM fandom is "willing to give it a chance". Only a handful are excited about it, around 10% don't care one way or the other, and everyone else hates it like farts on elevators. Enjoy it if it makes you happy, but it's still going to be awful regardless.
