(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.
It’s also written for 5-year-olds though.
Mario and Pokemon are for children too and nobody gives a shit if you like them as an adult
Mario is the tale of a union man taking mushrooms and rescuing his side piece from a human trafficking dinosaur. Pokemon is about a kid winning a series of cockfights and taking down the mafia. For kids? Hardly.
Tell me how good Dragon Tales is next.

You clearly don’t actually know anything about the show and you’re just going off of either your own assumptions or what other people have told you. I’d explain why you’re wrong, but I’ve dealt with enough people like you to know you’d just double down. You don’t have any good reason for believing what you believe. You just want an excuse to feel superior to other people.

There’s the misogyny! Thank you for helping prove the point of my original comment
As @[email protected] already put it in this thread, the response to that show in retrospect does say a lot about the people making that response.
There’s plenty of room to criticize its ideology and its political messages, but “X IS FOR BABIES” dogma is just… exhausting. And feeds into so much bullying-adjacent reactionary hog shit.

You know, my trans roommate likes MLP. She used to live with her abusive family who tried to force her to detransition. Among many other ways they abused her was ridiculing her for liking MLP and forcing her to hide her interest in it, and their attitude towards her interest in the show is a lot like what I’m seeing from you right now.
Your mask has fallen completely off at this point. Are you going to foam at the mouth about Owl House next?
Jeez, someone needs a reeducation in the magic of friendship and harmony…
In one line you managed to present an adolescent-like preoccupation with performative adulthood in a bullying way and added some misogyny!
No, I spelt it the non-sexist way. Histerical. Treatlords, begone.
The way you’re presenting your “X IS FOR BABIES” dogma could be plucked right out of a grade school cafeteria from about ten years ago.
It really does seem immature to be that mad about people enjoying something that has insufficient “mature” blood, gore, or sexual violence for your tastes.
EDIT:
Oh, you just posted this too:
THAT KID’S LUNCHBOX HAS TOO MANY STICKERS IT IS TIME TO BULLY THEM IN A VERY MATURE WAY
I take it this was written by a “baby,” too?

Honestly, unless you’re talking about MLP as it existed before or after the 2010s, I just don’t see how you can conclude that so confidently. Friendship is Magic was better written than half of the shows that adults are supposed to like.
“X IS FOR BABIES” dogma. Not even once.
I didnt watch all seasons of it but the first 3 seasons are a pretty fun kind hearted show. Gonna finish it one of these days.
The end of Season 3 just feels like such a great place to stop watching. Twilight learned all about friendship and became a princess, The End. Perfect. 10/10.
It was originally written by the same person who wrote Powerpuff Girls and a lot of the humor is similar in the sense that it appeals to both kids and older viewers.
This just in: Lauren Faust being Craig McCracken’s wife was a conspiracy all along; she is actually his drag persona
I thought she was a writer for that as well though?
I had tried to edit with a clarification that she wrote for both series but that McCracken was the actual creator of Powerpuff Girls, but maybe that didn’t load on your end.
Ah, ok. In that case I should clarify that while she wasn’t officially the show creator, I do think a lot of the writing and jokes are similar between the two.
From what I’ve seen, you’re absolutely right about that.
