You're an awesome parent for supporting your son's newfound hobby and making sure he can experience it in the cleanest manner possible. Hopefully we'll be able to be of some help.

> how old are most people on pony forums like this one?

The median is around college age, so mostly 21 and around. I'm towards the higher end at 24. Some of the people on this forum lean a little younger, between 16 and 21.

> there is a side of MLP fandom that isn't kid safe at all. Can you tell me: which websites are best avoided

As always, you should be present as much as possible whenever your son decides to browse the internet.

It's gonna be hard to filter, but my first and probably most helpful piece of advice is always to turn Google SafeSearch on for any computer he might use. It'll be on by default, but just make sure the checkbox is checked.

Official places will be your best bet, since your son can see all sorts of cool and curated pony stuff without potentially interacting with anyone dangerous.

Naturally, you can never go wrong with the official website (www.MyLittlePony.com), which has all sorts of fun games, coloring books, pictures, and videos. Since it's the official website, it's heavily curated by Hasbro staff, so you will be guaranteed to never see questionable content.

Netflix is definitely a safe place; every episode from seasons 1 to 4 is on there, as well as both of the movies. You could even make a dedicated "family time" where everyone watches an episode every night! It also has two documentaries, "A Brony Tale" (starring Applejack/Rainbow Dash's voice actress, Andrea Libman) and "Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony" (starring the creator, the voice of Discord, and the voice of Twilight Sparkle), both of which will do an excellent job of introducing you to the fandom and all the cool stuff the bronies have done.

When it comes to fan content, however...

It will be hard for your son to interact with other My Little Pony fans over the internet, since most internet users are adults and will have fewer filters. I would be cautious allowing him access to sites where other fans congregate.

There are lots of cool videos on YouTube, but some of them might be vulgar or extremely bizarre, and YouTube doesn't do a very good job of hiding that content. I suggest looking up Pony on YouTube with a certain degree of caution... but you will find some really cool stuff there too.

Equestria Daily (http://www.equestriadaily.com) is a great place to find out news regarding the fandom and the show. It does not ever post mature content at all, but its comments sections are frequented by fans. As long as you keep him out of the comments section

Derpibooru (http://www.derpibooru.org) is a site that shares hundreds of thousands of MLP pictures and art made by fans. It has filters that you can set up so that your son never gets exposed to explicit content, including a TV-Y mode. These filters are on by default, so you can peruse it if you want to look at cool pictures with your son. I'd advise against letting him browse alone, however, since they're easy to turn off.

Fimfiction (http://www.fimfiction.net) is a site for fans to write and post fanfiction. It has a mature toggle that hides mature content, but unfortunately it's very easy to turn off. It'll best be browsed with parental supervision, or potentially not at all until your son is a teenager (which means he might not even be a fan of the show anymore by then).

If you want to try and keep your son off the internet...

The official comics are fantastic from both a story and art perspective, and they will keep your son (and you and your husband too!) very entertained.

There are also chapter books that will help your son learn to read. Many are offered at various reading levels, so you can gradually wean your son on bigger and more complex books over time.

There's also an official My Little Pony game for Android, iPhone/iPod/iPad, and Windows Phone, and all sorts of official audiobooks that your son can read along with as well. Since they offer no social features, there's no possible way for your son to interact with anyone dangerous.

Hopefully that's a good enough summary! If I can think of anything else, I'll let you know! Good luck, and have fun ponying-out with your son!

Well, that's pretty... unambiguous.

You could go something simple like a Funko doll Or maybe a keychain. (I honestly kinda want this one for myself.)

There's a new comics omnibus coming out in a week or so if he also likes comics.

Or, and this is a bit of a gamble, but Rainbow Rocks comes out in two weeks.

Hey, your omnibus edition link is bad. Here's a fixed one: click me!

u/mylittleplaceholder · 2 pointsr/MLPLounge

The Omnibus collections are a good compromise. I have the digital ones but have gotten the paper ones, too.

u/whiterun_garda · 2 pointsr/MLPLounge

My Trixie plushy, my Game of Thrones goat horn cup and the MLP:FiM Omnibus comic, volume 1.

Edit: also my hand-made Trixie blanket, but that's too much effort to get a proper picture of it.

u/rad140 · 1 pointr/mylittlepony

I see. Do you two not get along or aren't that close?

For some really general recommendations, there's the Art of Equestria book, the 4DE plushies or maybe one of the comics omnibus?

Then again, if he's really into the fandom and makes his own plushies, he may have all these things. Do you know if he has a favourite pony?

I only mentioned thoughtful because that's my gift giving preference.

I asked Father Christmas for the new Omnibus edition of the main series comics. It's on USian Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Omnibus-1/dp/1631401408 - $20 for the first 12 issues (so a bit cheaper than buying the trade paperbacks).

u/fallenpenguin · 1 pointr/MLPLounge

Well, not all at once, but there are paperbacks collecting the individual comics:
