I like guys who really play the absurd and goofy hat card bcz they frequently contrast it by wearing the world's blandest of casual wear.

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.

just to be clear a lot of those "grown men" who were into MLP did in fact turn out to be women because, you know, There Were No Signs. i guess when russia is raiding MLP conventions for spreading "gay propaganda" that's pretty obvious but i do want to say it for the record.
i got a friend who writes genuinely actually good MLP fanfiction. people shit-talk fan-fiction but i respect people who do it well. it's really hard to capture the voice of a character when it's not your character. it's also a good way of getting your writing actually read - people want to read stories about characters they're already invested in. i've tried to write fanfiction occasionally but i'm never really satisfied with the results. (yes i do hold my writing to an unreasonably high standard.)
