That doesn't change the fact that the target demographic is that of young girls. Maybe there is action and humor and etc etc, but the fact remains, most of the people watching this are not who the show is designed for.
The fact that there is some adult humor in the show is nice. I'm sure it's nice when a dad is watching television with his little girl and he enjoys the show as well. The problem with that is that most of the people who post in the threads and defend the show are not watching the show with their children. The are effectively grown men going out of their way to download and watch the show. I would also place money that this show isn't the worst of the things you watch. If this is "good" then certainly you are watching something that is worse but it's easier to justify because the other show is more "manly".
It's immature and a bit strange to me. But hey, to each his own.
I think this image might be able to answer your question [although you kind of did that yourself]. It's not my reason for watching specifically, but I know that it is for many people:
Gaming accomplishments: Nibbler (marathon): 251,169,160 / Nibbler (one life): 5,263,360 (WR) Donkey Kong: 423,100 [L12-1] (150th place as of 2019-01-15) Super Smash Bros. (N64): Ranked top 5 in Wisconsin from Q1 2016 to Q2 2017 Shrek SuperSlam: won largest tournament in game's history (Shrekfest 2018)
And for the record I like Powerpuff Girls a lot >_>
EDIT: BTW this particular post isn't sarcasm.
What's wrong with liking Powerpuff Girls? Tons of people do. I do. It's not really in the same class of "girly" cartoon that My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake are at all.

I didn't say or even intend to imply anything was wrong with it. I'm starting to guess I'm too new to say certain things around here. Sorry guys :[

Powerpuff Girls was one of the last Cartoon Network shows that interested me. It had that weird vibe going on that all of the 90s CN shows had, only with a bit of a modern twist. I also have to admit that I think Mojo Jojo is awesome.

Bro you need to build a reputation before you can troll. It takes dedication. And skill in trolling.
That's why I'm one of the few here.

>admitting to trolling
You sure you're skilled? Also, I don't troll and I wasn't trolling. I kind of don't appreciate being called a troll after apologizing.
I meant your previous statement.
Also, yes, I'm a fairly skilled troll. I don't outwardly go looking to do it, but I'll do it if giventheopportunity.

Agreed. That cartoon had some really memorable villains. I actually watched the Powerpuff Girls Movie a few months ago. It hasn't aged at all :O
