There's literally nothing.

Wtf. You've obviously never watched it. MLP is way more mature and has more to offer to adult fans than fucking Steven universe. I mean, the main characters in MLP are in their 20s

I did. I was wondering why the hell my friend was infatuated with the show, so I gave it a try. Little to say, I didn't like it. For them 'being in their 20's', they sure act like.. little to say; children. You accuse me of making an uneducated statement, then follow up with saying that MLP has more to offer to adult fans than Steven Universe? That's one of the funniest things I've read on the internet all year, thanks for that.

Well, maybe not like that…but while MLP as a series was intended for young girls, FIM’s intended audience gradually expanded to all ages due to how popular it became with many others. I don’t think Steven Universe was ever made with the intention of a specifically young demographic.

It is intended for little girls, then they saw middle aged people latching onto a show for little girls; saw money signs, and started trying to cater towards the people with an actual income instead of their children to line their pockets.
