Are there any positive aspects to appreciate from g4?
The Pegasus wings on the playful sized ponies are very sweet. Just the right proportions, not too clunky and very cute.

Every kid develops at their own speed and in their own way, but the last thing that any child needs is to be told by a tv show they're watching that they're not behaving 'normally' because they don't want to go out and have parties. More bothersome to me is the idea of "if you're nice to bad people they will become your friend" and "you can make friends with anyone if you try hard enough." One is dangerous, two is just not true. But not liking someone is not the same as not respecting someone, and having different perspectives is not a bad thing. Will never forget that horrible episode where Pinkie and Dash destroy an important cultural artefact in the Gryffin's territory and then say it doesn't matter because now they have the more precious notion of friendship instead....So many issues.

As much as we complain about FiM shoving Friendship down people's throats, I suddenly realise that its kind of unfair and hypocritical when many of us grew up in the peak era for cartoons that shoved morals, pet care, safety messages, and PSAs in little kid's faces.
