What's up with the Pony obsession?

I have said this to you before that I have no problem with bronies, only their childish embarassment about what they like. Rather than admit it is meant for young girls they always protest and try and claim that the creator always intended it to also be for them. They can't simply be happy and enjoy what they like rather they have to try and justify it and change what the thing is. There is no embarassment in liking things made for different audiences yet bronies always act like there is by trying to pretend the show is something it isn't. 

Clearly it was commissioned for girls and aired because of its appeal to girls. I only argue against that categorisation being used to say that adults shouldn't watch it.

 The section of the brony fanbase I dislike most are those that say the references in the show were put there "for us". They are not, they are simply general pop culture references or in some cases to amuse the animators themselves. I am under no illusions about why this show continues to be produced.

Well that and when they make claims that it is the greatest thing ever achieved by humanity which I find insulting to a vast number of achievements. 

It is NOT an amazing achievement by any of the creative staff. Their work shows only competence, anything less shouldn't even be on TV. Its existence does, however, make my life worth living. I'm not saying that is true for anyone else but myself.
