Children just can’t be randomly evil for no reason especially in comfy, idyllic worlds like Equestria. The fuck was Hasbro trying to say?

It's for children

Wait, she was evil? Do you have any proof of this theory?
>>
>>42517413
They weren't trying to say anything. The exaggeratedly sweet little girl character who is actually evil is an established precedent in cartoons. Most of the show staff is old enough to have grown up with characters like Elmira in Tiny Toons, Angelica in Rugrats, etc. That's all they were doing. Is it lazy writing and bad world building? Sure, but very few people involved with the show at any level ever had any serious interest in trying to create the Iliad for children like Faust wanted to do. You don't have to like it, I certainly don't, but the "it's just a cartoon, it doesn't need to have deep lore" viewpoint ultimately won out and that's the show we got.

I hate this perspective. Even shitty cartoons should have good world building

what would mk ultra be like in equestria and why/how would they try mind controlling fillies?
>>
>>42517907
>like Faust wanted to do
At some point we have to accept that Lauren Faust herself was not deeply invested in making a perfectly consistent world. She wanted to make a fun cartoon and she did that, then she was pushed out by miserable working conditions. Those that remained gave even less a shit about consistency than she did.

"Evil" is a substanceless thought-terminating cliche. But children can be unreasonably cruel, impulsive and stupid because of their underdeveloped brains. Juvenile gangs are as old as humanity itself, after all.
>>42517920
It just makes Celestia randomly evil for no reason. Normal real worlds don't have shit like that, only poorly written fake grimderp caricatures like our world do.

I still don't understand Cozyfags. I don't get it. If one of you happens to be reading this, feel free to explain why you give a shit about her.
>>
>>42517413
She's not a child. She has a cutie mark.

You have to give a shit ABOUT a filly if you want her to take a shit ON you.
>>
>>42519367
Be real with me, cozyfags, you became fixated on her before watching more than a few episodes of the show, right? I don't believe somebody could watch the show all the way up to her introduction and not have already chosen a waifu.

>>42517907
Like Cozy, the m6 are also regurgitated concepts.
>>42517413
Diamond and Spoon existed before Cozy.

>>42519379
Fillyfags don't have waifus, they're just pedos who think of each as colorfulcocksocks
>>
>>42519679
Well that's just plainly untrue. If you look at fillyfags talking about fillies they clearly can differentiate their personalities.
