Is it bad that the first thing I thought of when reading "FOR PONY" was
LFG?
No, that is perfectly acceptable.

As long as you guys don't steal my old toys, I'm cool with ponies. Although I am a
little confused over men enjoying My Little Pony, but hey, whatever!

Not many who took up the fandom are really all that interested in anything that is not 4th generation, so I think anything you have before then is likely safe. I would also put up a conjecture that most of the individuals who got into the show were people prone to be cartoon watchers or comic readers before hand. In which case they were already enjoying shows that they might not exactly be the target audience for. In such case, it's likely watched less for what the characters are and more who the characters are. The shows quality, as kids shows go, is fairly high. The jokes designed to help entertain parents along with kids help that quality widen the audience some.
Again, this is conjecture. There are plenty of people out there who have their own analyses on the subject, and my own may be colored by my own reasons. Additionally, there is a much wider array of reasons, but today I wanted to keep this short.
