Thinking seriously about the topic I like to view the MLP show as an idealized view of what Equestria could really be like. Idealized in the sense that it is not consistent with what may actually be reality. In real life issues are hardly solved with rainbows and sunshine and i feel if any one of us were pulled into some alternate universe where Equestria exists we would find that world struggles with a variety of ecological and social issues much like humanity does and while there is also plenty of good their would also be no shortage of evil.

I would have to say out of all 6 the strongest comparison i can make is Twilight. She is a bit socially awkward, practical and stresses out over every little thing when it comes to learning and assessments of ability. Literally how i am with regards to my studies. Obviously she doesn't come close to being an exact parallel of my personality but the similarities are significant enough that i can comfortably identify with her.

Cheerlies Garden was easily the most horrific fanfic i have ever read. Make no mistake it was incredibly well written but the sheer depravity of the story was sickening. It is horribly dark and seriously not for the faint of heart. I can usually weather through a lot of terrible things on the internet but that fic did a number on me while i was reading it. I literally had burst into tears of sickness and horror multiple times reading it. I pushed through just because i wanted some closure, to perhaps see some sort of light in the story but there was no light to be had. Just unrelenting torture and violence and an ending that just left you feeling dead inside. If you really adore MLP and hate even the slightest idea of the ponies enduring any sort of suffering do not read it what so ever. It will put you into a depression. Couldn't agree more with your choice. Cheerilee's Garden was easily the most horrifying story i have ever read. Not even the most depraved movies could top it imo.

I would be willing to wager that the correction facilities in Equestria probably are not all that bad given the nature of Equestria and its benevolent leaders. It may actually focus on reforming behavior and you may come out of it a better person.

I would be a man and serve my time. I am already up shits creek as it is so there is no reason to take it to a literal extent. At the very least I would still have my dignity rather than be known as the coward of Equestria that grotesquely kissed ass in front of the nation to avoid my sentence. Complete humiliation in front of the country like that would not do any good for getting my life back in order.

When I first got into the whole MLP Fandom back in 2013 is became painfully obvious to everyone that I was into it since I flooded my Facebook with it. I was more or less obsessed with it and it was quite cringy given how open I was about it. Eventually as time wore on I calmed down ALOT about it and eventually wiped out the cringe from my Facebook and started acting like a normal human being. I still love the show and like indulging in the Fandom content but I don't blow my Facebook up with ponies anymore or obsess over it and annoy my friends. I treat it more like a casual intrest that is appropriate for certain times and places. So in short I am open about it but not anymore so than say my interest for Game of Thrones or PC Gaming. It's just something I casually like. Treat it as such and you should have no issues barring exception of course for some of those special breeds of assholes but in those cases they would find more ways than just MLP to get under your skin.
