ggggg, I get lots of gurls from MLP m8 (no srsly all my past girlfriends were bronies)

(it's more of a movement to state that if girls like what guys like, then why not the opposite? But it's also more of a artistical movement as well. But some people just like the show because it is an anti-depressant) kban There is a numerous fandoms, where there is lot of girls. I seriously think I don't need to start naming them. But, you say that as one of reasons? I know, thaat was probably made in short time, but it still is weak arguement.

So, you say that lot of people watch it because of art-style? It is colourful, i can give that to it, but other than that, I don't think the art-style is anything good. (of course, that is a thing that comes from personal opinion.)

I know that most of child's cartoons are anti-depressant. So, why just MLP? Why there isn't similar fandoms about other child cartoons? (as in, as big ones) Can you answer to that question?

Also, There is quite high amount of autistic persons in MLP fandoms, as there is in furry fandom. It's not big, but it is bigger than in other fandoms. So, why the situation is as it is with these fandoms? Is there something that attracts (I don't mean in that way, though that kind of thing happens also) autistic persons to animal based fandoms? This question is more like rhetorical question.

Also, what exactly made you guys watch it at beginning, and why you find it good? I do not understand what exactly is the thing, what, like, what captures you into that fandom. (I do not find correct word for that part, hope you are able still understand what my point was)

Just leaving this questions up in here. Well I wasn't trying to answer in a serious way before. (and that you misinterpreted my comment) But here it goes:

For the first question: Like said before, I wasn't trying to answer in a serious way, and so you'd expect a weak argument coming from it.

For the second question: I was talking about the fandom's general artistic style, while some bronies can make a really bad 30 second art, most are generally artistic.(Each word = link, check it all) Some can make art likethis. While some canmake musiclikethis. While I am not accounting for all of them, you can certainly be impressed at what the Brony fandom can pump out sometimes. For the style of the show, it's certainly colorful and simple. However, the style makes the ponies more appealing (Generation 4), it's certainly better than Generation 3 or 3.5, any curious watchers would be suprised and hooked at the style. But those who appeal to the style is certainly a minority compared to those who like the show, according to census, the fandom itself is the main reason people are hooked, yet the second most reason (as I recall) is the storytelling and lore of the show. Think of the show's background and lore is basically similar toSkyrim, but replace the standard races with Ponies. But the storyboard is certainly unique, yet inspired by other works in popculture (such as John Henry, communism*, and conartists). Touching on some real world topics, yet stand at a neutral position is what mlp does best (aside from communism*)

Questions of third paragraph: Well read what I said in Question 2, there ARE fandoms for kid shows as well, most notably Spongebob, Powerpuff Girls, and several others. However you could also argue that those are also family shows, Generation 4 MLP (friendship is magic) is considered a FAMILY SHOW by most review sights. For Spongebob, you'd understand why. Friendship is magic (G4 mlp) works as an anti-depressant because it is silly yet maintains an atmosphere followed up by an interpretive moral or real world lesson. (though mainly regarding it's relation to friendship as the maintopic alongside it). Some people could say that most shows in anime are for kids or girls, you'd understand why they would think that, yet most would still watch the anime anyways.

Fourth paragraph: Rhetorical question? okay then, not answering full-on statements, but I think that you listen to too much social media. There are less autism in the brony fandom than one believes, at least compared to most other fandoms. 90% bronies I met aren't even close to having autism. Almost every brony is pretty much friendly.

Fifth Paragraph: read second and third. and like I said,  Some people could say that most shows in anime are for kids or girls, you'd understand why they would think that, yet most would still watch the anime anyways.

Yet with the previous generations of generalizing mlp as a little girls show (don't argue it's toy products and commercials. They only sell to collectors or children, most products of the brony fandom are made by bronies, sometimes even working alongside hasbro, tho not always, you can find some at hot topic.) built in mind, people would still think that the show is for little girls due to being taught so at a young age through social media. But one must note that even shows can change to a broader audience.

For more information about statistics and how bronies think, go to herd census (note that some information is outdated, like the brony population, obviously 7 to 12.4 million was made back in 2012-2013, I could say it is over 15 to 25 Million now):  http://www.herdcensus.com/
