But when I watch it on the TV, I can watch different scenarios play out without risking anything. The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one’s heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness.”ĭrama, to me, feels dangerous. One fateful day the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful…. The younger brought out the moon to begin the night. ![]() To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn. It sounds eerily similar to the opening of the My Little Pony: “Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. This is a matter of life and death to the brain, even if it’s not so important in the twenty-first century.” She states, “If you’re a girl, you’ve been programmed to make sure you keep social harmony. While I was pregnant with my daughter, I read The Female Brain by Louann Brizendine. Of course, the type of show that I love so much is one that I don’t want my daughters to be consuming. As I watched one relator call the other a “f*cking b*tch” over a business deal gone bad, Twilight Sparkle entered my mind. Later that night, after my daughters were in bed, I turned on Selling Sunset, a show rife with couture fashion and mile-high drama. But I had a hard time summarizing my passionate distaste for the show, and couldn’t put my finger on why I felt so conflicted about it. “The more and more episodes my daughter watched, the more and more I noticed all the plots were the same … the girl ponies were constantly fighting with one another.”Īs I watched clips of the show for this article, I gathered plenty of quotes and absorbed endless eye-rolls.

We quickly turned off the show due to pony bitchiness. Instead of peacefully discussing differences, Apple Jack challenged Rainbow Dash to “a hoof wrestle.” Not exactly the message I want my children to receive. Though the show is geared towards younger ages, My Little Pony teaches viewers how to sport a Kardashian-level attitude, while inspiring the life skills of manipulation, bribery, lying, and brown-nosing. My daughters were sucked into the show it was too late. “These ponies don’t seem very kind,” I remarked. And Apple Jack, bless her heart, couldn’t cover up her toxicity with her sweet Southern twang. Pinkie Pie channeled Elle Woods in all of her cringe-worthy enthusiasm and pink. ![]() Twilight Sparkle showcased narcissistic tendencies, and used poor Spike, her dragon “friend,” as her peon. It turns out that the entire episode centered on a group fight between which pony could have the one remaining ticket to the sparkle-riffic ball thrown by Princess Celestia. Sure, I thought - this seems fine.īut then, when I walked past the TV a few minutes later, I cringed as Twilight Sparkle ripped on Rainbow Dash: “Puh-lease, they’d never accept a Pegasus who can’t even keep the sky clear for one measly day.” Hoping I just caught a rare moment of attitude, I settled in to watch. I was limited to PBS as a kid, but I remember playing with my neighbor’s ponies, admiring the tramp stamps, er, butt marks on each one.
