I used to think badly of MM for how they were marketed, but now I like them because they're cute. I think their fanbase is varied; people who like cute girls who sing and dance would probably like them. The generalization that their only fanbase are old, perverted men is a little narrow-minded, in my opinion. MM doesn't sing lyrics that are too deep, but that's fine.
I also think cultural differences play a huge part in the perspective of MM. Japan probably doesn't care how MM is marketed as; they probably just shrug it off. I think the West, however, thinks that when girls are marketed as that, they're the prime target for pedophiles. I strongly disagree with that. I simply believe that the group was just created for fans to have cute, bubblegum pop music.
