Do you know what Madness is...Aaaa. You have a strange name, Lauren Faus...😑

Such great character work and good song for a bad story.

### 1. **Target Audience Misalignment**: - The show is designed for young children, but its adult fanbase ("Bronies") can be seen as problematic, with some individuals creating content that is inappropriate for children. ### 2. **Commercialization**: - The primary goal of the series is to sell toys, making it heavily commercialized and prioritizing merchandise over storytelling. ### 3. **Limited Educational Value**: - Unlike shows with a strong educational focus, *My Little Pony* does not offer substantial learning opportunities in math, science, or other academic areas. ### 4. **Promotes Consumerism**: - The show’s focus on different characters and collectible items can be seen as encouraging consumerist behavior in young children. ### 5. **Stereotypical Gender Roles**: - Despite some progressive elements, critics argue that it still reinforces traditional gender roles and stereotypes. ### 6. **Inappropriate Fan Content**: - The existence of fan-made content that is often not suitable for children (e.g., fan art or stories with adult themes) can create a problematic association. ### 7. **Over-Saturation**: - With multiple series, spin-offs, and a vast amount of merchandise, some may feel the franchise has become over-saturated. ### 8. **Perceived Decline in Quality**: - Longtime fans have argued that the quality of the storytelling and animation has declined in later seasons. ### 9. **Repetitive Plotlines**: - Critics point out that many episodes feature recycled storylines or moral lessons that become redundant. ### 10. **Focus on Fandom Over Original Target Audience**: - The creators have occasionally catered to the adult fanbase at the expense of content suitable for young children. ### 11. **Cultural Appropriation**: - Some episodes have been criticized for using cultural elements without proper representation or understanding, leading to accusations of cultural appropriation. ### 12. **Diluted Moral Messages**: - Some argue that the morals presented are often simplified or diluted, making them less impactful for young audiences. ### 13. **Encouragement of Parental Over-Indulgence**: - Some believe that the franchise encourages parents to spend excessively on themed products and toys. ### 14. **Potentially Harmful Shipping Culture**: - The fan culture of "shipping" characters in romantic relationships, including non-canonical pairings, can be inappropriate given the show's target demographic. ### 15. **Inconsistent Tone**: - The series has faced criticism for tonal inconsistencies, making it less cohesive as a whole. ### 16. **Excessive Spin-offs and Movies**: - The constant release of spin-offs like *Equestria Girls* can be seen as diluting the original series’ brand and quality. ### 17. **High Screen Time Encouragement**: - Critics argue that shows like this contribute to excessive screen time for children, which can negatively affect their health and development. ### 18. **Limited Appeal Outside Fandom**: - While the show has a dedicated fanbase, its appeal is limited, and many do not find the content engaging or valuable. ### 19. **Conformity Over Individualism**: - Some argue that while the show preaches friendship and cooperation, it can also promote conformity over individualism. ### 20. **Lack of Cultural Diversity**: - The characters and settings in *My Little Pony* are seen as lacking in cultural diversity, especially in earlier seasons. This list provides some critical perspectives, but many would be counterbalanced by positive aspects, such as its themes of friendship, kindness, and problem-solving. If you're looking for further arguments, many would continue in a similar vein, critiquing aspects like potential commercial exploitation, representation issues, or specific fan behaviors rather than pointing to any concrete or objective reason for shutting down the show entirely.

**Me (Heart of Ice, Harshest Talker Code):** "Lauren Faust, I’ve got a bone to pick with you. You’ve propagated a toxic optimism with *My Little Pony*. Friendship solving everything? It’s laughable. You’ve cultivated an army of naive idealists who think holding hands and singing songs can mend the world’s cracks. All you’ve done is breed a generation of people who believe kindness will save them from the harsh reality of selfishness and betrayal." **Buddha (Calm and Serene):** "Peace, my friend. It seems your heart is burdened. What you perceive as naivety is an attempt to plant seeds of kindness in a world rife with suffering. The message is not that friendship alone can solve every problem, but that it is a source of strength and unity. People are uplifted by compassion and shared understanding, not brought down by harshness." **Lauren Faust (Calm yet Defensive):** "I get where you're coming from. But you're wrong if you think I’m trying to paint the world as some utopia where friendship magically fixes everything. The stories show challenges, misunderstandings, even betrayal. But what I wanted to convey is that, even in a world that can be unforgiving, choosing to build bonds and trust is an act of rebellion against that darkness. It's about resilience, not naivety." **Me (Heart of Ice, Harshest Talker Code):** "Resilience? Let’s be honest. Your show doesn’t prepare anyone for the realities of life. It preaches forgiveness to a fault, creates an illusion where every villain can be redeemed with a kind word or a friendly gesture. You’re promoting an ideal that weakens people, making them ill-prepared for a world where trust is often a luxury." **Buddha:** "Resilience is not about the absence of hardship; it’s about the choice to face it with love rather than hate. It is true that not every conflict is resolved through friendship. Yet, choosing kindness, despite knowing the world’s harshness, is a strength in itself. To act with compassion in a world that may not return it is an act of courage." **Lauren Faust:** "Maybe the message isn’t for everyone. Perhaps it is naive to think kindness can solve everything. But if the show has helped even one person to be a little more understanding, a little less quick to judge, then it’s worth it. I’m not saying the world isn’t harsh, but why add to it? Why not offer a vision of hope and community?" **Me (Heart of Ice, Harshest Talker Code):** "Hope and community, huh? Well, hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. By perpetuating this, you give false hope. You make them think the world is softer than it truly is. And when reality hits, it’s a far harder fall. It’s your utopian vision that feeds into the delusions of the masses." **Buddha:** "Your concerns come from a place of deep pain, it seems. But remember, the purpose of stories isn’t always to reflect the harshness of reality but to provide a beacon of light. It's not about denying the darkness; it's about finding a way through it. Perhaps it is not the message that is flawed but the expectations of its audience." **Lauren Faust:** "I never meant to deceive anyone into thinking life is simple or without pain. It’s a children’s show meant to inspire kindness, hope, and a belief that people can change for the better. If that’s unrealistic to some, so be it. But in a world full of harshness, is it so wrong to want to believe in something better?" **Me (Heart of Ice, Harshest Talker Code):** "Maybe not. But in a world where people like to dream, the dreamers often become the first victims of reality. So you can keep selling your fantasies, but know this: the real world won’t be as forgiving as your friendship utopia. And the pain of that realization might be harsher than any lesson learned from a darker story." **Buddha:** "And yet, the capacity for hope, even in the face of inevitable suffering, is what has sustained humanity through its darkest hours. Perhaps the message is not about expecting the world to be kind but about striving to be kind regardless. There is a quiet power in that choice." **Lauren Faust:** "Exactly. The show isn’t about telling people the world will always be fair. It’s about showing that despite its unfairness, you can still choose to be good. And if that inspires even one person to act with kindness when it’s easier to be cruel, then I think it’s a message worth spreading."

In this dialogue, I'll portray you as an icy, harsh, and disillusioned individual who is determined to confront Lauren Faust's idealism. Let's dive into the scene: --- **You (Heart of Ice):** *(cold, sharp voice)* Lauren Faust, so you're the mind behind *My Little Pony*, promoting that naive, rose-tinted view of friendship where everything is magically fixed with a group hug and a song. I've seen the so-called "magic of friendship," and it's nothing but a fantasy. It teaches people that kindness and trust can solve any problem when reality is far grimmer. **Lauren Faust:** *(calm but taken aback)* Well, that's one interpretation, but my goal was to show the value of connection, kindness, and empathy in a world that often forgets their importance. I wanted to create a story where these positive values have the power to bring change. **You (Heart of Ice):** *(smirking)* And in doing so, you've painted a world that's delusional. You're promoting selfish escapism, making people believe that a smile and some "magic" will cure betrayal, hatred, and indifference. The real world isn't a fantasy land with pastel colors. People are self-serving; kindness is exploited, and trust is a fragile illusion shattered the moment it inconveniences someone. **Lauren Faust:** *(brows furrowed, defensive but composed)* I understand the skepticism. But don't you think it's important to show people a path of hope? That there are other ways to handle conflict than just with bitterness or violence? The message was to inspire a better way, even if the world isn't perfect. **You (Heart of Ice):** *(icy, cutting tone)* Hope is a double-edged sword. You give people false hope, and when reality doesn't match up, it breaks them. They stumble into the world thinking everything will be solved by a group of friends rallying together, but life isn't a scripted episode. Friends betray you. They leave. And there are problems no amount of hand-holding can solve. People have to learn to navigate that harshness, not escape into a fantasy. **Lauren Faust:** *(a bit shaken but still composed)* I see your point. But isn't that exactly why we need stories like these? To show people an ideal they can aspire to? It may not be achievable in its entirety, but if it pushes someone to be kinder or more empathetic, then haven't we done something good? **You (Heart of Ice):** *(leaning in, voice low and menacing)* You haven't pushed them to be better; you've lulled them into complacency. You've spread the naive belief that everyone is capable of being kind, that every conflict can be resolved with understanding. But let me break it to you, Faust-this world is run by power, manipulation, and self-interest. And people like me have learned to survive in that reality. Your idealism is a comforting lie, and the sooner people wake up from it, the better. **Lauren Faust:** *(quiet for a moment, searching your face)* I won't pretend I have all the answers or that the world is as ideal as I depict it. But I believe in the potential for good, even if it's just a glimmer. If I can make people see that potential in themselves and others, I think it's worth trying. But maybe, just maybe, you need that hope too, even if you refuse to admit it. **You (Heart of Ice):** *(cold smile, eyes narrowing)* Keep telling yourself that, Faust. But I've seen what happens when people follow your idealism. They get crushed under the weight of reality. And I'm not here to let them fall for it anymore. If I have to be the one to give them a brutal wake-up call, so be it. The world needs less fantasy and more cold, hard truth. --- In this conversation, you confront Lauren Faust with a scathing critique of her ideals, challenging her vision with a harsh, realistic perspective on human nature and societal dynamics. The exchange showcases your ice-cold reasoning against her hopeful idealism, creating a tense dialogue filled with conflicting philosophies.

Thank you Lauren!

How twilight learn how to fly In S3Ep13 last and the episode after her S4Ep1 she tries how to fly????

No offence but i think William Shatner wasted his time & talent on that overrated tv-show. He SHOULD have guest appeared on Family Guy, South Park & The Orville for instance.

Who misses this my little pony 😢

Applebloom: Sis sis! The big looking white lady is here to get rid of us!

Люблю Лорен❤

Fun Fact: Lauren's husband is none other than Craig Mcracken the creator of PPG, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and others! She was also the inspiration for Frankie Foster!

alguien sabe como puedo contatarla

This is great!

Is it me or it's glitching out?.

a show for girls... well, I think this is really sad that a show that was meant for little girls got wildly popular among perverted incel men. It really got me thinking about how women and girls are treated, if we're not put down and restricted we become objects of fetish or performance. Paints a dark picture, personally I hope there will come a day where young girls will be allowed to be young girls and will be left the fuck alone so they can grow up safely. I'm saying all of this because I was a girl who grew up watching MLP and was shocked to find out, at such a young age about the utter perversion that was the fandom, filled to the brim with creepy men obsessed with girlhood.

MLP was simply one of the most important parts of my life, I can barely imagine what my childhood would have been like if I had never watched the wedding Canterlot episode which was my first contact with the series, I love learning more about the lore of the show, besides the characters being very captivating, This show is something very important to me, and not just for me but for thousands of people

I just hate her, and love her. The fact that she loved zoofilia or how It calls makes her disgusting, Even she said “if your pony brony die” or somethin makes her very bad woman.

Never knew she helped out with foster home for imaginary friends

Wat the sheet mane

0:00 yes, force choke 😀

What it nickelodeon gag is going on of here

Apple Bloom is the devil!

shes so cool🥲 i wish they listened to her ideas. after she left mlp it just didnt have the same feeling

This show promotes pedophilia, how the FUCK did anyone think this show was okay. Everyone in the Fandom and involved in this show should each be ashamed of themselves.

WTF IS THIS!??! 😂💀

I hate mondays

Poor appleblom

my biggest dream is to meet her. she has inspired me since i was a kid.

Last I remember, the ending wasn’t going to be a ripoff of evangelion
