It's not surprising. Until recently MLP was just a punchline for any "girly" joke. Most people probably never even knew anything about the franchise itself save a few commercials they would occasionally see on Cartoon Network and the like. You will have trouble convincing people to change views they've held for most of their lives.

First, welcome, Ms CC. 
I think some people still associate the My Little Pony franchise with its old girly, sugary-sweet, merchandise-driven image. FIM is still basically merchandise-driven, but the creators have given us well-developed, well-rounded characters and well-written episodes that both children and adults can relate to. I suspect that a lot of the criticism comes from people who either haven't watched FIM, or have a "My Little Pony = girly kid's stuff" mindset. I don't let it bother me. I'm a adult male brony, and proud of it.
By the way, my 19-year-old nephew still likes Dora The Explorer.

Dora just kind of annoys me.

I liked Dora. But then I got old. And realized that screaming and pointing at the proper direction was not working out.
That's my dream. It's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor … and surviving.

I guess there's nothing wrong with it, it just grates on my ears.

@Ed: Google autosuggests "have a seat over there" for "have a" :V 3rd choice even.

Off-topic: Anyone want to buy a "used but in good condition" refrigerator?

I already have 2 in the house.
Hmmmm. Speaking of fridges, have any appeared in the show or the IDW comics?
