I feel like pony went through a similar phase. Only expect for the controversial and vulgar content, it was shock and confusion over why so many grown men loved the show.
It seemed like every soccer mom, social justice warrior, conspiracy theories, hipster and internet troll jumped on this band wagon.
They analyzed every line of dialog, went frame by frame for any hidden messages and even tried to decode all the songs. After a few years, just like everything else, people just lost interest in looking for scandals that weren't there and moved on to other things.

Pony is and will forever be a great show. But it just made it feel all that much more special when it was getting all that attention. Especially if your like me that rode an inflatable inner tube on the shallow G3 wave into the monsoon of G4's tidal wave.
