It's still very unnerving for people to be that into a children's TV show even if there's no sexual aspect to it.

Apparently the australian kids show "bluey" has been getting popular with adults, and a lot of them are saying that the portrayal of caring family dynamics has been helping to heal their inner child/process childhood traumas. I suspect that mlp might have had a similar hook to some people

Many people on the autism spectrum like my little pony because it teaches explicit social/friendship rules.

Fair. People with autism (or other cognitive differences) are usually given a wide margin in what is and is not considered appropriate social behavior.

Oh I didn't know that!

I'm sorry if I mischaracterized anyone.

Thanks for the clarification!
