Re: Episode morals that make you mad?

[chardmonster]

I think you're looking for too much complexity in a show about magical cartoon ponies.

Did you remember that it is a show about magical cartoon ponies

Because it is a show about magical cartoon ponies

Re: Episode morals that make you mad?

Actually, it's a show about magical cartoon ponies learning and imparting very explicit lessons about friendship to young, impressionable kids who are the actual target demographic.

Big difference.

Also, since when did being magical cartoon ponies become incompatible with behaving like rational people? The Simpsons did a pretty damn good job of logical characterization in the first few years of its run despite being about bug-eyed yellow-skinned freaks with overbites and no chins.

People have made some really good points in response to my comment. But this, man. This.

Please read this sentence out loud.

Then please step outside and go for a walk.

Uh....Why? Do you really want little kids learning lessons from characters, even if they ARE magical cartoon ponies, who don't behave like rational people, at least to the extent of, y'know, learning lessons about friendship in a rational manner? Believe it or not, this show is not targeted at you. It's targeted at little kids. And it's generally not a good idea to teach little kids horribly twisted morals.

I'm not quite sure how this opinion makes me crazy.

Re: Episode morals that make you mad?

[chardmonster]

Like I said.

Read that sentence out loud.

It is hilarious.

I'm not sure why you don't think I don't know little kids are the core demographic of the magical pony show about magical ponies.

Re: Episode morals that make you mad?

It is hilarious, but that doesn't mean it's not true? Little kids should be watching fictional characters who they can relate to their own lives on some level, if not the whole "magical cartoon pony" level, if said fictional characters are supposed to be teaching them life lessons.

ayrt

I'm okay with it not being complex

I'm not okay with it being a children's show that teaches terrible lessons to its audience (like anon above me pointed out)

"If people say they don't want to be friends with you, don't give up! You'll eventually find something to win them over! Even if they ask you to leave them alone, don't do that! Just insist and insist and insist..."

and

"Everyone must be your friend. Everyone. If they don't want to be your friend, something is wrong with them and you must find out what it is!"

are not very good lessons to teach to impressionable children who likely don't know the first thing about self-restraint and moderation (and who could wind up annoying the wrong person one day)

and it's also something many adults buy into, not just children -- and the whole thing just really rubs me the wrong way, as someone who values her own privacy and personal boundaries and those of others very much and has had these boundaries crossed by "Pinkie Pies" before, who knew or should have known better and still didn't care
