I agree, people for the most part do live by that ethos which makes this community so positive and welcoming, I like the show for its whimsical adventure story telling as well, where characters like Mane Six and the community they share in their fictional world learn to work out problems through compromise and give and take, Sisterhooves Social is one of my favourite episodes. And nobody gets bullied here for writing fanfictions or making fan arts here either, which is very nice, we have a safe space where we can discuss that, within reason. Obviously for profit fanfics cannot be allowed for copyright or trademark reasons, and it must not promote anything which could harm children (NSFW) either, but non profit activities where people discuss their fantasies and daydreams about a fiction they like are a different matter altogether.
I am not ashamed of wishing I could be in Equestria, I have even spoken to some adults who said the same. Like me, @Night Sky wishes to be a Pegasi there, how cool it would be if we could fly there and make friends with such a caring community. I'd love them wit all my heart and I'd be loyal to Equestria if I could exist in that fantasy, none of us can though sadly. A Pure hearted adventure like that for me, like in my fanfic I had been working on, being reincarnated there after naturally passing on, is definitely a kind fate for me and I'd choose it if I could, I don't know about everybody else but sometimes I feel this is a fate too kind for me, considering I have hurt people and got into fights in the past. Doesn't mean I want to continue to be that way, though.
