>How do you guys do that?
erm, I don´t know. I knew about the AI but I didn´t know that he actually managed to get access to that supercomputer. So you are far from the only one to be left with an open mouth towards this.

>How did you guys beat the weebs?
well, I could extend myself a lot towards this question but I will leave a few points here that could be expanded but the general idea is this:

>4chan was created with a plan for discussing anime, the initial fans of this show were either fans of cartoons, fans of Japanese media or liked roleplaying games (fantasy settings)
>the artsyle. Look at their bodies and especially at the eyes. Then, compare it to the three previous generations. Guess which has more fan content and has been more profitable for Hasbro so far.
>slice of life animation. What is considered filler for lots of animes, in this format, the characters are the main appeal. What happens to them daily, their interactions towards different situations, misadventures, conflicts, personal moments, etc; all of that drives every single episode. This implies a greater attachment to the fictional characters.
>the waifu concept taken from weaboos, combined with the human characteristics, is intensified because of that warmth for seeing them as rounded characters. You know them pretty well how they act and all their traits are clearly defined for you to imagine any non canon situation with those established characters.
>the philosophy towards this show could be summed up for a certain people as one of those anime of cute girls doing cute things, hence why imagining about them could lead to comfy feelings.
>the size of the map. It offers a quite considerable amount of varied places and could be perfectly used for any RPG game
>lore and worldbuilding behind the species and Equestrian history. This aspect drives nerds crazy (also, Twilight is a nerd) and fits in the basics of any RPG, species such as dragons or changelings are not all that far away from what you see in the genre. Also, tons of magic
>references to pop culture (Zelda, Bioshock...), an episode dedicated to Dungeons and Dragons, clichés from anime (Ember acting Tsundere), battles of laser beams a la Dragon Ball style...

I could add a few more and extend it to a ridiculous length but this should give you an idea that MLP doesn´t offer all that much of a difference for the average nerd. Maybe the two key factors are that it is a slice of life show and it´s normally correlated to filler content for animes that aim at big stuff (DBZ, One Piece...), when the passive humble nature of the genre is what sells this show entirely. That and the stigma we have discussed earlier.
