Yes. By definition. No. G3.5 and Newborn Cuties are not the same thing. I'd like to give you the full list of G3.5 animations: Waiting For The Winter Wishes Festival Twinkle Wish Adventure Pinkie Pie's Ferris Wheel Adventure Sweetie Belle's Gumball House Surprise (you can probably count Wonderful Winter Song clip, too, even though 95% of it is cut from Twinkle Wish Adventure) Once Upon A My Little Pony Time: Over Two Rainbows Once Upon A My Little Pony Time: So Many Different Ways To Play Only the last two installments are what is known as "Newborn Cuties". There is a problem with separating G3 and G3.5, because they overlap. They are entirely different things, but they overlap, giving us seven Meet The Ponies shorts and a couple more shorts that were done in G3 artstyle, but with G3.5 characters. Some of those shorts even reference the events of G3, but that's not enough for them to be the same thing. There are only three G3 characters in the focus of G3.5 that came from G3: Cheerilee, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. All other core characters were new and never appeared in G3, safe for the aforementioned shorts. Even further, Cheerilee and Rainbow Dash were redesigned, both in appearance and personality. G3.5 Cheerilee in particular has undergone such a drastic change that she's as far from her G3 self as she is from her G4 self. One might argue that she's even closer to G4 than to G3. Minty, Rarity, Wysteria, Lily Lightly and others are nowhere to be seen in G3.5 proper, except maybe in the background as easter eggs and what not. Toola Roola, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and others are nowhere to be seen in G3 proper. It's a bizarre case, and I'm sure it gets even more bizarre if toys are brought into question.

You've misunderstood my post. Disliking something is not "against the fandom". Blindly disliking something is "against the fandom". I'm going to make a bold statement and say that a reasonably large portion of people who dislike G3 (but not all, not even close to all) aren't informed of what G3 even is, beyond having looked at disconnected imagery from it and other people's opinions on it. They probably don't even know that Rainbow Dash dressed in style more times in FiM than in G3.

I'm that one guy who thinks G3.5 is the best MLP-related thing ever created. The amount of disrespect I see is staggering. I'm perfectly okay with people disliking it if they have a reason to. I'm not okay with hating on G3 being a norm. This is so odd and against everything this fandom stands for. Please be more reasonable before you say "kill it with fire" just to say it.
