(I didn’t, largely since I’ve never watched a single episode, but the psychic damage and whiplash of Wholesome Pony Show having said this line was too fuckn much for me)

EDIT: More replies than upbears now. It’s probably an official struggle session now (although most of it is that one person). One must imagine SisyFEWs happy.

    Its utterly ahistorical and revisionist, but at least serves to try and smooth the contradiction between working-class migrants and their native peers. Its also a children’s TV show, so if you’re not getting the full dialectical history of three centuries of Western Frontier politics… eh.

    At some level, kids TV should just steer clear of this shit entirely, because you’re not going to do it justice. But of all the shows I’m going to shit on for being liberal propaganda, MLP is trending towards the bottom of the list. I wish they had just… not. But also I live in a liberal hellscape so I’m not going to cry over a relatively minor offense.
