>>36608863>can you not USA2021 in this movie?The saddest thing about this is, MLP had been turning into a sad copy of America for years. I remember a thread during season 6 about this, because that year was particularly terrible with an episode about a convention, an episode about neets, an episode about real-world-like restaurants and whatnot. The whole magic setting was being raped to death, there was no Equestria anymore, the show was literally about America, and this was before the election, before Trump, and before whatever boogeyman was adopted later.
It's terrible that, because the show dared to be mean to the orange god emperor, a big chunk of the fandom started talking exclusively about that, some even pretending that the Americanization of MLP started magically and out of nowhere in season 8. And yes, it's even more terrible that people unironically started defending this abomination under the retarded premise that if it made /pol/tards mad, it was a good thing.
Politics are irrelevant. Taking a fantasy setting an utterly destroying it by making it a drop-in replacement for the United States of America is what ruined G4, I don't expect anything different from G5.
