I too was wondering why older men were getting into this pony stuff...Then I watched the show and became confused as to why I was so entertained. Then I found out it was by the same person who did Power Puff Girls and Foster's. Then everything was accepted.
I didn't want to watch it, refused to watch it, but when you are walking around the house and your (older) sister has it playing...you just can't help yourself.
I don't like MLP, but I love Touhou like nothing else My best friend is a brony who dislikes Touhou This settles our endless debate on the "better" fanbase.
