I could make a counter argument based on all the fangirl fodder hot-blooded shounen shows. Sure, it sucks the mahou shoujo genre being aimed at dudes sucks, but what about the likes of new shows like Tiger & Bunny and Star Driver obviously aiming for the fujoshi crowd? I watched Star Driver in hopes that it would just be good, but it gave in to providing yaoi fanservice and had absolutely no closure to its very simple story. It might just be something new anime has made prominent, it could even be that now we have names/tropes/etc. to observe. Regardless, I feel like it's something that has always existed, whether we like it or not. That being said, Madoka's fandom was actually incredibly equalーfujoshi, creepy otaku, casual viewers, old anime fans who haven't watched something in ages and so on seem to all appreciate it equally.
Most anime OP/EDs are pretty irrelevant to their shows, and it was confirmed the OP was just Studio SHAFT dicking around. Considering the show aired at 4am, I didn't think very much of the OP visuals… but again, I'm much more desensitized to that sort of stuff than an average person.
