A MAN IS OFFENDED
PREPARE FOR DERAILMENT
let’s just ignore the fact this reinforces the assertion made by the OP that some men like to take things and make it all about themselves
there has been a lot of discussion about feminine empowerment and how the show provides values outside of boys and looking pretty. rarity works at fashion boutique, but she’s also driven and a successful businesspony.
That isn’t because of the brony community, that’s because of the people behind the creation of the show.
sure it bugs me that everyone pigeonholes rainbow dash as a lesbian, but as a whole, the brony community embraces and celebrates the show as a progressive show for young girls.
And then there are the men who appropriate it for the sake of talking about “redefining masculinity,” which is a classic example of males derailing conversations on female agency and personhood.
That’s what the OP is talking about. If that doesn’t apply to you, why do you feel the need to get defensive over it? Do you like to jump into conversations about derailment against POC topics too, in order to defend white people?

do you ever just sit around and think about how gross it is that a bunch of Americans took a show made for British people, that taught them great lessons, that the universe was a wonderful place, the importance of compassion in everything you do, and made it all about them, their sexual fantasies, and their political theories?

Welcome to fandoms, idiot.
The BBC is a huge media corporation and their TV shows are marketed towards the international market as well. The BBC has channels all over the world, in pretty much every country I have been to there has been a BBC channel of some variety. Your point is moot because Doctor Who and Sherlock are not exclusively made for British audiences.
Secondly, the themes explored in those shows are pretty universal and not exclusive to their country of origin.
As for Hetalia, if anyone thinks it teaches them “great lessons” about international relations they need to sit the heck down.
