Are you sure that isn't a type of troll trolling around?

 

It just seems like something someone would post to anger some bronies.

 

If it isn't a troll and a serious concern, than the show isn't that violent.

Psh. Just derpy parents/kids being derp.
Always has been a thing, always will be. Definitely doesn't represent the opinion of people as a whole xD

All things considered this could be a joke review anyway >.<

 

[As a response to it, ofc its not too violent. I mean for Gods sakes we have looney tunes and tom and Jerry. Mlp doesn't even come close xD]

Damn, if I think back to the old german fairytales I was told...

 

...I wonder what reviews they might cause.

 

 

But to be fully serious. The show is neither too violent nor too profane. Everyone refusing to expose their children to such a harmless and nice cartoon because of the raised concerns in that "review" not only fails to see the bigger picture (morals and lessons taught throughout each episode) of the show itself but ultimately does their children no favor with this overprotective behavior.

Please, don't be afraid to talk to me. I am not as unapproachable, as you might think.

How is this guy not a troll? There's bloody video games and highly sexualized TV shows, but MLP is too violent... ?

You're right! He can't be cereal.

Maybe he's milk.

 

He is actually pop tarts.

 

I see you anticipated me.

It's a bug and a feature!

This is either the work of REALLY strict soccer moms or trolls. If it's the former, I feel sorry for the kids she parents. If it's the latter, this is genuinely funny. Nice work :P

How can you properly show the difference between good and bad behavior without having characters who behave negatively at times?

This person seems to forget that.

If they think MLP:FiM is violent, then I wonder what they'll think of shows like Game of Thrones.


All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people.

Well, I do know there are people out there who think even the slightest bit of cartoon violence or something that vaguely resembles danger for characters is too much for kids to handle. It sounds like the person mentioned is trolling, but it's just one person's opinion, if they're even serious to begin with.

 

All I know is that if it's true that most parents can't handle that sort of thing then I plan on being a different kind of parent when the time comes. I mean sure, I don't plan on letting my kids play Outlast or GTAV till they're at least in their teens, or equivalent games that will be out at that point in time, nor do I plan on letting them watch R rated movies and TV shows till they're ready, but I know kids and they like it when people give them some credit since it's not like watching a cartoon like Friendship is Magic will make them explode, though if they did that would prove the point of ultra concerned parents. Of course, pigs flying seems more likely. I just don't plan on being super uptight with my kids. I'm probably a long way off from having any, but I volunteer with kids all the time, and have yet to hear of them perishing from watching girl's shows.:P

 

In all due seriousness, I will give FiM credit for pushing the boundaries of what a show for little girls has any right to be, but it has yet to venture outside of the realm of what children can handle, nor has it even come close. The show made a name for itself because the writers respect its audience enough to not dumb the show down just because it's a children's show. They could have made another G3, which is what you get when writers create a show that exists solely for babysitting young children while the parents can catch a break from them. FiM is what you get when writers respect their target audience, no matter how young they may be, and put actual effort into writing a series. I suppose FiM is a highly unexpected phenomenon, but I don't plan on keeping my kids from it.
