    Here's my take:
    She is the embodiment of everything that is right and wrong and up-to-the-moment in today's popular culture. Her timing is exact, her delivery brilliant, and she may have had some promotion behind her. Plus, she's very good at make-up and hair.

    I've been thinking about it, and I think my take is thus:
    Some people love Boxxy just because they are attracted to her. However, there are people (like me) who love her for a different reason. Boxxy is like a breath of fresh air to the people who are weary of the same dark cynicism, sarcasm and self-aware irony that has plagued the internet (and American youth culture) for years. It seems that nothing can be cute and guileless anymore without someone on the internet making their best efforts to corrupt it.

    Regardless of whether Boxxy is a real person or a contrived character, Her wide-eyed wonder and unrestrained enthusiasm portray an openness of heart that most of us had at one time, and most of us miss. Etherspin mentioned a learning disability-- I don't think that Boxxy has any kind of developmental disorder (at least, not one that will handicap her), but many people with disorders that stunt mental growth [such as Down's Syndrome] are able to hold on to that earnestness and innocence for their whole lives.
    The Boxxy lovers are likely to describe Mr. Rogers as the kindest, most gentle man on television.

    The people who hate her represent the very thing the Boxxy lovers don't want any more of. The Boxxy haters are the champions of the "it's so bad it's good" mindset, where ironic value supercedes true value. Their hearts are closed; they are so afraid of showing genuine emotion that they generally hide it all behind a mask of derision and indifference. This is a hipster. When they do show genuine emotion, they are ill-equipped to handle it, and they are consumed by them. This is an emo... and trust me, nobody likes an emo. These people hate Boxxy, because she shows them that there is another way.
    The Boxxy haters are likely to describe Mr. Rogers as a probable child molester.

    In response to Wendy: I think she needs to take a break with the eyeliner, unless she thinks she's Queen Hatshepsut, or something.

    Whatever. I think that people that buy into her are obviously unable to discern the genuine from the false. And, have a love of contrived youthful innocence... but then again, I AM cynical, and liken the love of contrived innocence to that of an appreciation for Lolita.

    If easy-going optimism and cheer is what you're after, try exhibiting some yourself first before condemning those of us still with eyes to see. It'll be easier to take you seriously and come around to your way of thinking, or at least be able to share in a *genuine* appreciation for something.

    I am only growing more passionate in my dislike for her as I witness a love for her grow. I am totally being influenced by the power of others emotions. In truth, in my natural state, I care very little for the issue. I have been provoked! It's your fault, I tell ya. Achoo.
    So patience... is nothing...

    It's about time you figured out why I posted this in the first place.
    These days, the only time people around here talk about anything is if they're provoked. If I wasn't able to successfully rouse a little rabble every now and then, I would have to go somewhere else to find something to read.

    Should you need any ideas, follow my lead.
    People won't argue with me though.
    I guess I'm just lame.

    not lame. you are just willing to see other peoples points of view and show kindness. no need to argue with you because with you are open-minded, empathetic, and show understanding.
