What? Really? You're going to ask this? Really?

Some guys made fun of it on 4chan (don't go there, that site has a dirty reputation). Turns out, they liked the animation/decent characters/lighthearted humor. Lauren Faust, the show's creator, appreciates wholesome entertainment instead of cheap laughs and characters, which probably contributed greatly to the fanbase. The reason this show is so popular is almost entirely due to the bronies. The reason why this wiki is so massive and thorough is because of the bronies (really, go to the wiki for most anything else and it'll be weak and vague, if there is a great variety of articles at all).
