Because I don’t believe they were ever fully intended just for children to consume. After fucking My Little Pony and shows like Adventure Time, there’s been this growing demographic of “post-ironic” adult-geared cartoons playing under the guise of a regular kid’s show with all these hi-larious references and humor completely blowing over the head of the average child viewer. It’s no surprise that these people are so vocal about it, because they’re the target demographic: lonely autists with more time and Twitter-use than common sense. No child is going to write a think-piece on the pan-sexual gender-fluid undertones of an alleged children’s cartoon, but these fuckwits have all day to pick apart the lore and subtext while actual kids are watching talking dogs fart and/or pee.
