MLP's media should NEVER try to cater to adults. Its not that kind of show. Its not Airbender or some rated r anime. Its an adventurous but innocent girls show and it was the worst thing they ever did and they're too stupid and arrogant to realize how much damage they've done.

Its an adventurous but innocent girls show and it was the worst thing they ever did and they're too stupid and arrogant to realize how much damage they've done. Exactly. To me,as old as they should go audience wise is middle school aged. Obviously adults can enjoy it but they must NEVER forget that there are little kids watching. There are adults that are literally contacting the crew members to put swearing, scanty clothing and absolute dirty jokes in this show. And instead of blocking, not responding they play along and approve of it. Its getting to the point where I'm uncomfortable to even WATCH it, much less be anywhere near that fandom. G3 had adults enjoying it, yet there was no issues with that. As mature as g5 should be is as mature as g1 was. I'm 19 so obviously I grew up with FIM. I appreciated the shift in audience that it catered to early on, (which I thought was teens/pre-teens) or as Lauren Faust had it, I was dealing with thinking I was "too old" for g3 and LOVED that g4 was more mature and exciting. I loved the characters, plots and everything else. But after much of the crew left, including Faust, it became a wreck. I was glad that I grew to love g3 again. I also realized that MLP in general should stick with being for younger kids. And honestly? You can cater to adults and teens without making it unsafe for kids. They had that balance in the early seasons, but for some reason screwed up big time on it. I don't really want to rant on how "bad" FIM is because I know there are a lot of people on this site and in our little group of pony lovers who adore it. I like it too, but I realize its the crew that screwed up and more so a fandom issue than the show its self. They tested out the more mature theme on it, it happened. Now lets move on and hope g5 is safe for kids again.

Fandom spaces are another story and I do wish the adult fans would have stuck to their own spaces.
I think Mom and Baby Up Up and Away are very cute and underrated TAFs. like them with white hair better.
I love purple/yellow as a color combination. Such a classic. I will never tire of it.
Orange and green ponies are the best! Long live Argies!

Lucozade pony! I think Spring Parade may be her actual name, but she's Lucozade to me now...Applejack set the trend for orange ponies and Berry Bright is best G2 pony, so orange is good with me.
Eh, if I want laid back and low stakes I'll take Tales. Although the Runaway Rainbow and Ladybug Jambooree was awfully cute. I still haven't seen Faraway Friends or well, most G3 stuff.
