Well, while the social media would -in theory- suggest that the target demographic would be young girls for MLP:FIM, the creators of the show took a bit of a risk and made the show apparently appealing to both male and female audiences. In all essence, it's still technically a "kid's show", but like a ton of the latter, teenagers and adults will often find themselves enjoying what's considered a "kid's show", and MLP is really no different. It doesn't act like the audiences are completely brainless, showing morals in the end in a -admittedly- creative way.

Despite watching a few episodes myself, I couldn't get into the show. I'm just uninterested. Although seriously, why ponies?
