Reply to comment by frenin in What are some shows that were advertised to one demographic, but became successful outside of the target demographic? by blqckwidow

It didn’t start out weird. It actually started out really wholesome where some critic bashed the show and said everything about it was awful even making false claims that the show was racist, and then a bunch of dudes who would normally hate girls’ cartoons checked it out and were like actually this is a good show, we’ve decided to defend it against people who hate it for no reason.

Oddly if I recall right it it did start out as wholesome even on 4chan for the most part. Because "ironic" humor of people like them enjoying the show was still big at the time.
