And I heard some of the people who worked on Powerpuff Girls worked on this is. You just gotta disconnect from the fans, but I know no matter what I say you'll hate it anyways so I'll just shut up.

I do not hate the show itself for the same reasons I criticize people who obsess over it: It's not for me or my age group and thus I can't really care about the content (in a serious, real world way). I mislike it when people (mis)represent the show as something that is either deliberately or sneakily engineered to appeal to adults. It's just not true. And while having some PPG staff is interesting, it doesn't necessarily dictate the quality or appeal of the program. I'm sure that there's also staff who were involved in the production of hardcore pornography at some point (probably the sound guys it's always them types), but that doesn't mean that she show should only be viewed for 10 minutes at 3 in the morning in the dark and then switched off.
That being said, I've had a few friends who've said what you said in the post that kicked off this little exchange almost word for word and then realized they're basically just reading into something that their local sperglord told them about MLP and that the show really, REALLY isn't for them. So maybe upon closer scrutiny you'll see it differently and maybe not. I don't know since I'm not a mindreader and can't afford to be one with all my medical costs.
Which reminds me of something completely unrelated, but here goes.
Last night in my training course for my shitty call centre gig we started talking about Digital Cable packages available through the provider we're contracted to. Eventually the subject of adult movie channels arose and we all had a good chuckle at how we were supposed to describe the content of such channels to customers. Out of nowhere this dude who showed up in
full home made platemail armour he uses for LARPing for Halloween started talking about how "WELL IT'S NOT LIKE ANY ONE WHO BUYS PAY-PER-VIEW PORN WATCHES IT PAST THE FIRST QUARTER UH HUH HUH RIGHT AM I RIGHT?" Sure enough fuckin' nobody wanted to even look at him, and then to make matters worse he blurted out "BUH WELL THAT'S JUST A STATISTIC I READ IN A MAGAZINE SOMEWHERE."
And now he sits right beside me and fucking talks to himself all day and then forces his expertise (which extends as far as anyone else in the class) on people who don't need/want his help. I was ready to just pass him off as some nerdo but he really irritates me with his muttering and I'm worried he might challenge me to a duel.
Since my shift is until 1AM usually I get up between 9 and noon, and Courage the Cowardly Dog is almost always on like 5 minutes after I wake up. I love the aesthetic of the side characters, especially the reporter with the gigantic teeth. And how everyone has spindly little stick limbs. And Freaky Fred.
