It seems to me, that the main reason media outlets point out the heterosexuality of 'Bronies' on the whole, is the fact that... Back in the day, when "My Little Pony" first came around in 1983, it really truly was a brand marketed to girls. So, if a boy back in 83' expressed an interest in "My Little Pony", or any of the toylines and/or cartoons that were being marketed expressly to girls at the time, then that boy, would more than likely be viewed as a "sissy". In the 80's, girls were supposed to love "My Little Pony", "Jem and the Holograms", "Rainbow Brite", etc. While boys in the 80's, were expected to love cartoons like "G.I. Joe", "The Transformers", "ThunderCats", etc. tl;dr Residual, "*this* is what your ~supposed~ to like, and we're going to market to you based on your gender" cartoon/toyline norms; apparently never die.
