I dont get it.. this is a childrens show and it's girly.. how is this successful with teens/adults? >_> i havent rly watched any of the episodes... but how can this happen? C_C
Someone asked Lauren Faust(The woman responsible for this reboot of MLP) what she thought about older men--"manchildren"--liking her My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic show.
Lauren repled:
Honestly?? I feel that people who call them that are ignorant a-holes. That's how I feel.
I didn't create this show for little girls, I created it for little girls and their parents--including male parents. It only stands to reason that adult animation fans without children may like it, too.
The belief that boys shouldn't be interested in girl things is the main reason there's hardly anything decent for girls in animation--- or almost any media, for that matter. It's a backwards, sexist, outdated attitude.
