Why do so many guys like My Little Pony?

Hello! Brony here. I hope I can help you out.

Friendship Is Magic (the MLP bronies like, not the crap, pre-2010 ones) was designed with adults in mind. Lauren Faust made it to revitalize the franchise and to be tolerable, if not enjoyable to adults. Looking at this chart of the talent on the show, you can see they essentially ran many bronies' -who grew up on the great cartoons of the 90s and early 00s- childhoods: http://i.imgur.com/YZa8j.jpg Add Tara Strong's résumé and you have a rockstar team for making a nostalgic cartoon.

Other reasons most like it are the same reasons as any show: fluid animation, interesting setting, relatable characters, decent writing, actual plot, lightheartedness, morals to live by, catchy music, dialogue that doesn't talk down to its audience, classic cartoon physics and comedy with adventure sprinkled in, intelligent references, and a production crew that cares.

Once the fandom grew out of the things in the last paragraph, it attracted new bronies all on its own. You see, bronies are massive and massively creative. We have art, music, comics, animation, memes, image and message boards, niche groups, social media, live streams, Web radio stations, news sites, meet ups, conventions, even charities. Just look at some of these: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/09/dr...f-555.html

There is really just so much to do, and the vast majority of people are really welcoming too.

And THAT is why bronies love My Little Pony! Have a nice day!
