I have seen the idea floated by a handful (and I really do mean just like 2 or 3) people that Adventure Time is somehow problematic but I've never actually seen it explained why.
I will say that what AT has that SU does not is that it's been running long enough that it's developed an epic, Samurai Jack-ish feel with how long the story's gone on. It's very decompressed and the story mostly focuses on Finn.

If you ask me it's problematic because I credit it for the death of CN's ties to the Hanna-Barbera-inspired look, but that will come back into vogue someday anyway...

(SU looks a lot like the old H-B shorts background-wise, but those are probably more inspired by, like, the paintings in the original Paper Mario than anything else)

I say My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is more okay because it is (or will be soon) on Another Cartoon Network and we need to do everything we can to keep ACN alive
I think something that is worth remembering is that not everyone engages with everything on the same level.
Many people who watch Steven Universe would not identify themselves as "Animation Fans" for the same reason that many people who listened to 50 Cent in 2002 aren't necessarily hip-hop fans.
i was more recalling that time a year or two back where like half of tumblr was trying desperately to couch the fact that they found bronies super embarrassing in SJ terminology because just finding them embarrassing was too mean or w/e, nothing to do with AT

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaah some bronies definitely actually are like,
you know
it's weird to see adult men yelling about how a show for little girls isn't for little girls

A lot of things about the MLP:FIM fandom are embarrassing and have been from very early on.
The constant C.S. Lewis quoting. The acting as though nerds watching children's cartoons was unprecedented. The tendency to act as though the show and its usage of stock cartoon plots and character types was groundbreaking and novel (though I do credit them for some twists).
i was more recalling that time a year or two back where like half of tumblr was trying desperately to couch the fact that they found bronies super embarrassing in SJ terminology because just finding them embarrassing was too
the "best" (here meaning worst) part of this came when all those same people started watching Steven Universe and then had to come up with elaborate workarounds for how everything they said about bronies didnt apply to them now.

DAE RELIEGEON IM WEARING MY OCBD WITH MY BEESWAX CDBS AND MY TIMEX WEEKENDER, I HATE FAT PEOPLE, VOTE RON PAUL (*Blows like the hugest vape cloud ever as a smokescreen, vanishes into the night in my Guy Fawkes mask*)
i am just really tired of seemingly every conversation I have with anyone about anything leading to "you know what? I really hate this specific group of people. Let me just ramble about that for 40 minutes."
it really happens like far more than you'd reasonably expect
Ponies are neither great nor terrible. They merely exist, and are okay, IMO.
RWBY was enjoyable when I watched it, if a bit lacking in depth due to its episode length. It was definitely clear that Monty had a vision planned out for it, though, and it's really disappointing that he won't be here to see it through. :/
it's the default shirt r/malefashionadvice recommends because it goes with everything, is suitable for all seasons, comfortable, inexpensive and fits well
as such, many people who are new to the forum end up with these kinda identikit wardrobes featuring:
* these shirts
* kickstarter brand selvedge jeans
* clarks desert boots
the level of oversaturation hit a peak around like 2013-ish and it ended up becoming a meme/running gag

I feel like I just lack whatever paraphysical organ lets people understand fashion in any capacity.

1. there were like, 4 cherrypicked examples for this happening. not to say that the whole brony thing wasnt a huge trainwreck, but still
2. believe it or not cringing is something that is not a particularaly strong response, many things can elicit it.
In fact, I still find the show mildly amusing (and the comics somewhat moreso), but then I actually like RWBY too, so whatever.
(*hands you like 50 Uniqlo OCBDs as a sorry present*)
