Adults and ponies - how come?

well, for my part, i'm a guy, and yet my mom bought me a bunch of the original G1 MLPs in my childhood back in the 80's.
she bought me Rainbow Brite, Pound Puppies/Purries and some other similar stuff as well, toys all nominally strictly relegated to the female persuasion.
little wonder at all why i grew up to be a man in my early 30's with a soft spot for cuteness,
often obsessed by my hobby of making scale clothing for my collection of 11in. Anime dolls.

i would imagine there are many others out there who had similar childhood eeriences,
and i'd wager many of them are now among the key driving force behind today's MLP-driven "Brony" phenomenon.
guys much like me, finally coming on out of the proverbial closet... in a BIG way...
