What is the obsession with 'My Little Pony' among some guys...?

[bethany]

I don't know if this is only happening where I live...
But I know quite a few guys who are OBSESSED with it. Why?

It's girly. Some of these guys who are obsessed with it don't seem girly in the slightest.
My friend drew his brother a card and drew a pink pony in it...
I don't care if you think "boys can like pink too etc etc"... that's not really my point. Ponies, rainbows and ribbon tend to be a feminine thing.

Will someone explain what is going on here. I'm really concerned.
I think it's kind of unhealthy, they have twitter accounts for their ponies and everything. It's a bit obsessive. What will they do when they reach 30?

Most guys I know aren't like this btw.
The world has gone mad, and... crazy. HELP ME UNDERSTAND/Give me your opinions.
Thanks!
Okay, by girly I kinda also meant, it's childish. I have watched bits of episodes and it came across as pokemon storyline kind of thing. Or even more childish. It's very simple, but I'll watch some full episodes and maybe that will help me understand.
I know guys can like pink too, I know. I guess to me it seems gay guys are more feminine.. (I am not against people being gay or watching shows they want, but it is my opinion, and apparently where i live you are entitled to your own opinion)!!... and I think though some people are born gay, some turn gay due to environmental factors. So I felt this show was kind of encouraging it if many of the fans are guys. BUT the answers I have gotten have kinda made me unsure now. I'm still UNSURE, BUT it has made me question my opinions on this.

@ Brony Dave - Seriously? I am entitled to my own opinion, something else those in Middle east might not be allowed, so you telling me i can't state whether i think something is wrong o
@ Brony Dave - Seriously? I am entitled to my own opinion, something else those in Middle east might not be allowed, so you telling me i can't state whether i think something is wrong or not, is actually going against what you said. Think about it.
BUT what you said (other than that) has made me question my opinions on this show. and i will watch more of it, and read up about it and stuff... To try and gain a better understanding. One of my friends (a guy) is obsessed with the show and he is not feminine at all, so what you said makes sense I guess.

Thank you!
