Whenever I think about Bronies and politics I think about that one guy who wrote a book for Arktos about how My Little Pony is the last stand of the White Race or something and laugh

Let's face it, pony stalin didn't deserved a redemption arc.

You say that, but I think they handled the whole "villain redemption" thing better than Steven Universe while still having other bad guys in the same show that are allowed to be bad guys.

It's the same for Sunset Shimmer. The important thing in both cases is that they both regret what they did, learned to be better, and maintained that change over time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I know of SU it's more "Bad guy did bad things because trauma! Give them a hug and they'll act better." There's always someone else to blame further up the line.

Starlight and Sunset's storylines teach little girls that if you do something that makes people dislike you, you need to change your actions and keep it up. You can't just go back to how you were acting and expect things to be ok, and even then some people might never forgive what you did. It also shows them struggling with their guilt, being tempted to backslide, and the long-term consequences of their actions.

I care about this because I have some young female family members, and I've spoken to their moms about how fucked up some of the lessons of these shows can be. The fandom can be full of freaks, but MLP:FiM is still something I'll always recommend for the original intended audience of little girls.

I know there was one episode where they go to a foreign land and the people there are wary of travelers so that they don't lose their culture or way of life. One of the main cast even says something to the effect of yeah that makes sense which as we know now is terrible and xenophobic. Open your borders, bigot. I think Jontron was cancelled for saying common sense shit like that.

I don’t know if this is the one you’re talking about, but there was one episode where they were trying to build political relations between Equestria and some third world country (I think it was called Yakyakistan?) and their attempts to pander to yak culture all ended terribly with the solution ultimately being “instead of trying to change who we are to accommodate them, we should just show them what makes our own culture great”.

Yeah, steven universe's final season was complete dogshit, and the rest had way too many filler dedicated to useless characters, it's not really that difficult to do better.

Going back to the whole dubbing thing; I find it pretty retarded, especially since sometimes it does end up improving on the original.
The dark knight return for example, we all love baneposting, but his voice ruined the character for subsequent media; in the english dub at least...
I originally watched it in italian and the voice was just terrifying, like... complete perfection.
It's not clownish or ridicolously bloated, it's raspy, controlled and threatening.

We also have had our own thing with cartoons, specifically openings, the non-translated ones we got were often far better than the english ones.
I never watched MLP, but doing a quick search I think we got both a custom made intro and a translated version of the american one, which I don't find as good.
The one we got for pokemon advance was also a fucking banger and even the one for Dexter's laboratory, although I do prefer the orginal one for that case.
Finally, I wanna point out dragon ball GT and sailor moon: I hate them both but fuck me the they never payed enough the composer and singer for both.

Good. I'd walk out too. Cheaping out with AI is gonna be unavoidable eventually though. It's a losing battle.

I consider it a winning battle. I can't wait until AI is advanced enough that an everyday person can use a prompt to create their own show. It'll be the wild west again. Everyday people are already composing their own music with Suno. Creating your own movies will be the deathnail in Hollywood and I plan to dance on their grave.

It's a kids' show. Who cares what grown ass men think of it? Do little children like the show?

Impressionable little kids are the last people who need to be brainwashed with Larry Fink's reprehensible DEI/ESG bullshit.

As AI is further democratized and AI-generated animation and AI-generated voiceovers become more sophisticated, people will use AI to create extremely unwoke things, to dredge up the vilest of bile from deep within their id and to commit it to fictional media format. Political correctness will collapse under the sheer mass of machine-generated indecency. It'll be like early Newgrounds, only everywhere, simultaneously.

The show is about ponies being friends and overcoming obstacles. It really doesn't go mich deeper than that.

Children are easily impressionable and can learn the wrong lesson from cartoons.
I remember myself back in elementary scool crying in order to convince my teacher to buy me an ice cream, because in an episode of Smurfs crying is what allowed the retard teenage smurf to undo the shit she made.

Bronies sometimes even forget the type of show they were watching

This one needs an Autism to English translation.
  1. He is absolutely on the spectrum.
  2. He didn't want more violence. On the contrary, he wanted less. He was afraid to watch the episodes because he was (quite wrongly) anticipating extreme violence.
  3. The reason why he was expecting violent scenes was simply because other cartoons had them, and because he thought it logical that if you're going to have conflict, then you're necessarily going to have explicit violence. In other words, he ignored the show's rating and just sat around fretting over the possibility that he might see something upsetting.
