I very much agree, especially with the morals part. Lauren Faust, the creator, who also worked on Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and The Powerpuff Girls (do any of those ring a bell), said she wanted to create a show that anyone could enjoy. Yes, it's marketed for young girls, but Lauren tried to create a show that the parents could watch with their children and enjoy it as well. This is what I love about the show, it's a show the whole family can enjoy, which sadly doesn't happen that much anymore. I'm not saying that everyone who watches it has to like it, I just admire the goal Lauren Faust is trying to achieve.

As for an explanation to the MLP craze, for a lot of people it's nostalgic for them because it reminds them of their childhood. Some are people interested in animation and watch it for content and such. As for bronies, some have repressed urges from childhood which came from wanting to play with products aimed toward girls, but were told to play with the products aimed toward boys instead. Some people, for them, it just brings a smile to their face and let's them get away from the stresses of reality for a good 30 minutes.

...And that's the end of my rant. :D Have a good day!
