It makes no sense to me how the creator of My Little Pony doesn't understand why her show appeals to older guys. She basically copied the Azumanga Daioh formula (now quite popular in Japanese animation), which literally means it's aimed at older dudes.
Step 1: Get a group of cute females. Make sure the cuteness really shows off. Step 2: Excluding the first episode, remove any plot. Step 3: Have each of the characters exhibit the following traits:
a ) The intelligent transfer character (Chiyo | Twilight) b ) The shy character who excels at random things (Sakaki | Fluttersy) c ) The space cadet who becomes the life of the show (Osaka | Pinky Pie) d ) Cares about appearances, and is somewhat intelligent (Yomi | Rarity) e ) Sports Girl, maybe lesbian (Kagura | Rainbow Dash) f ) Character Noah really doesn't care about, who tries to bite more than she can chew (Tomo | Applejack)
Step 4: As few guys as possible Step 5: You know the part about it being cute? Double that. Step 6: Everyone is best friends forever. Step 7: Reference things younger kids could never understand.
So, I'm not surprised the main audience is older dudes. Though I truly hope no one is making porn of this stuff, as that would be gross.

@noahbody - Only everyone goes insane at one point or another in MLP. Osaka never started believing that a bucket of rocks and a bag of flower were talking to her. Though how awesome would that be if it happened? Speaking of insane: (IMG:[ www.ponychan.net] http://www.ponychan.net/chan/pic/src/131330122761.png)

She thought she killed Chiyo by removing her hair. That's not really normal. She also tried to wake up her teacher with a knife. Though I meant the basics were the same, not that random plots copied each other.

Hmmm... I've seen azumanga daioh twice and I agree with your character comparisons, except Chiyo doesn't really come off as Twilight. Twilight is quite the leader and is pretty assertive while Chiyo was always aiming to please others and fit in. Not to mention that Chiyo was usually scared of tense situations (her car phobia still makes me lol). Other than that I think you got the formula quite right. Wow its been a while since I've thought about Azumanga Daioh.

From what I've read there was a screencap from one of the episodes with Fluttershy with black streaks in her hair that was referred to as Emoshy by and large since it came out, or something...
Verification?

There's going to be plenty of angry ponies chasing him if he can't walk on his hind legs to pray as he's walking away.
