Can’t agree more with this! I just don't understand how anyone, who is a genuine fan of the show, could enjoy something that contrasts so much with it. Sure the writers put in a lot of time and effort to make it interesting, but MLP just never equates to violence in my opinion, no matter how good it’s written. Going from watching the show to a grimdark fanfic completely destroys the innocence and cheerful vibe that the show provides.
