I think it's worth mentioning this was before the new cartoon series so there's not even the excuse of it was him liking that, it was just Chris mirroring her interests and it rightly annoyed her, MLP back then was purely a nostalgia thing like saying they liked something like, I dunno, Rainbow Brite or Monster High because the were into the toys and show as a kid so I 100% agree with what you're saying.I don’t see her as an innocent victim.
But she is not exactly a villain either.
Just a pretty average young woman who was a bit naive and had some learning to do.
Also she had a point with the pony garbage.
Call me sexist, but I think it is an acceptable vice for people to continue an interest in childish things they liked as children.
So women who liked those pink ponies as kids, fair enough watching a new version of the cartoon as an adult just don’t expect applause for it.
Same with boys and transformers or whatever.
And sure as a parent, taking an interest in what your children like, acceptable.
However it is embarrassing when they take it too far, or when they are an childless adult taking a new interest in a toy primarily targeted at children of the opposite sex.
Megan saw that Chris was doing both of these things, so the criticism was valid.
Personally I have always felt that bronies should be rounded up and imprisoned in reeducation camps for the terminally pathetic, and never allowed near children if ever released, so perhaps I am a bit to prejudiced to be objective about this.
But hey ho!
I also think that it was just Megan being an average young awkward woman since this comes across to me as standard highschool or even college drama, at least on Megan's side of things.
