I completely agree.
Like, I love Starlight as a character. But her "redemption arc" is hilariously bad. Those she literally held hostage as part of a cult just welcome her back warmly. And Cozy Glow gets thrown into Tartarus (and eventually frozen into stone)?
And, like, having the creatures of other species rescue said racist chancellor and give him a change of heart is just fucked up. It's like it's a whole trope in media where bigots are supposed to be given a "change of heart" with friendship, ignoring the fact that actual hardcore bigots are fucked to the core (e.g. Steven Universe finale).
And the Yaks, I can't stand them. They're like a collection of stereotypes from other cultural/ethnic groups Frankenstein'd together, but you can barely tell what most of them are. The ponies attempting to make Yona speak and act pony-like for a school dance didn't help, even if the whole point of the episode was that it was a terrible idea.
Wait what--

As much as I like mlp, I can't help but feel like the higher-ups who actually worked on the show are a bunch of problematic cunts.
I can write an entire essay on how the show has been both implicitly and explicitly racist. And it goes deeper than just Zecora, some of the Pillars of Equestria, or even the Buffalo. The ponies are coded in a way to fit white standards of being "civilized", while other species are often portrayed as being backwards or barbaric. Hell, the entire School of Friendship is basically looking at the other species and going "your ways of life are uncivilized and barbaric; let us impose our ways onto you, to save you". I could go on.
It's no wonder why it would alienate people and only amplify white voices. It's in the very foundations of the worldbuilding.

I've been hearing rumors that Make Your Mark was canceled because the producers refused to let Hasbro implement AI into production. What's going on?
