Announcement at my friend's school

I don't think anyone makes spongebob or adventure time porn

Oh, they do. They do it all the fucking time.

Also, the shows you mentioned as positive counterexamples are either colored awesome by your own nostalgic feelings (Johnny Bravo, Looney Toons), or aren't marketed towards children at all (Archer and the other ones).

I'm not trying to defend bronies, 'cause I've seen fair enough of their twisted shit in the last few years to know better, but I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with watching / liking MLP.

When the first season aired, the internet (mainly the imageboards) suddenly exploded with fans, and I kind of had to check out what the fuck is all the fuss about. So I watched the first two episodes out of curiosity, and I really liked it, much to my surprise.

There is no reason for a grown ass man to watch MLP ... there is no content that should appeal to a grown man.

So let me tell you what this nonexistent appeal was for me. First of all, I liked the visuals. The animation is smooth, colorful and intense, the characters are well designed and expressive, the whole thing just looks nice. The humor and the storylines are decent for a kids show, the songs are really catchy and full of positive energy. Watching the show was a relaxing and fun experience, and who doesn't like relaxing and fun experiences?

You say the show shouldn't appeal to adults, but apparently it actually does, and if nothing else, MLP proved how men across the world sometimes enjoy some laid back, innocent fun.

I watched the first season and a few episodes from the second, but I kinda lost interest. Somewhere, around that time, the brony fad became rampant, which resulted in lots of quality artworks and fan fictions, but also spawned hell of a lot stupid, crigneworthy, or plain disgusting fan content, which kind of ruined the fun for those who didn't fall in love with Fluttershy or something. But apart from the questionably sane fan community, the show in itself is decent and indeed enjoyable for a grown man.
