I haven't watched any of these, but Powerpuff Girls definitely had crossover appeal and in-jokes for adult audiences. There are also dudes who are really into animation stuff regardless so... this doesn't seem that odd considering the writer and context.
There has to be some sort of version of Rule 34 that also states that if there's an entertainment media, there is a group of men into it somewhere.

Most of those people look pretty normal to me, aside from wacky-hat guy. The only cue I could really take to suggest that they're all the risible nerdy virgins you think they are is the fact that they're at a brony meet-up.

I remember sitting down with my little girl cousin to watch the old incarnation of MLP in about 2006? and thinking, "damn, this is pretty entertaining."
I've not seen Friendship is Magic, but damn, these guys are...odd. Has anyone come up with a theory as to why so many badly socialized young men are transfixed by this show for young girls?
Is this the hikikomori phenomenon arriving in the West at last?

I have not studied this in depth or anything but my guess is most of them just like being in some community and having something to talk about, sorta dig that they get to be absurdist in a 'look at me' way, don't actually enjoy the cartoons that much or I mean maybe it's moderately entertaining, who knows. and then a few are probably just perverts.
