G4 is really girly.I have only watched a few G4 episodes (thankfully) and from what I've seen, it is WAY girlier than G1. For all the bashing old MLP has always gotten from everyone for supposedly being all tea parties and dressups, I can only recall a handful of times when the G1 cartoons featured anything stereotypically girly (like the costume ball at the end of the second special), other than that, when ponies were not busy saving their world from doom, they would usually just spend their time playing sports, landscape exploring or chilling by the pool. Meanwhile, I remember one G4 episode that was all focused on everyone going to a big ball, trying on their outfits and all, and in another there was a whole song where pony pricesses were singing to the newest princess about what a great pony princess she will be, and it felt REALLY sappy. If you ask me, despite Lauren Faust patting herself so much on the back for challening girly stereotypes in cartoons, G1 did way better job with that.G4 also has a song dedicated to baking cupcakes, and an episode about sleepovers in the first season.

And yeah. G4 is really girly.
I genuinely don't have a problem with bronies unless they're the kind who trash G1 or trash people who like G1. But those are the crazies. I just think the word is tainted, so probably needs either serious renovation and reclaiming by the sane ones, or ditching and starting again. Because for many brony is always going to carry negative connitations, even though not all bronies are crazy.
This is gonna be super controversial. I sometimes think that MLP would be better off dying out, if the if it is gonna be nothing but more mane six. But on the other hand, there's nothing saying that a future incarnation might someday return the brand to its roots as a diverse collectible toyline with cartoons for commercials. So I'm holding onto hope that the brand won't suffer this bs forever. But the leaks, if they are real, have not given me hope.The FiM toyline is the Teen Titans Go of the brand. Ugly, poor quality, excruciatingly repetetive, has overstayed its welcome and is being shoved down the throats of consumers ad naseum.

I sometimes think that MLP would be better off dying out, if it is gonna be nothing but more mane six. Maybe its controversial, but I agree. I have a certain pride in this collectable and this toyline and I would rather see it die completely than just watch it march soullessly on in clone form.
I think G4 Moondancer is awful. Those Rock Lee eyebrows, her round chihuahua head and her wishy-washy body color as though she came pre-yellowed makes me glad she never got a toy.
Because the Gods forbid that a girl's toyline be girly. This gen is just as girly as the rest of em. And no matter how much the crazy, brainwashed fans scream otherwise, that's not gonna change. To somewhat quote the wise turtle sensei from Kung Fu Panda, "You may wish for an apple tree or an orange tree, but it is still a peach tree."
I actually didn't like any of the references to G1 in G4. They were warped into things that never seemed quite right. Even poor Applejack. It's fine. I'm over it now.
