I haven't really gotten into MLP G5… I liked the initial movie, and tried watching both Tell Your Tale and Make Your Mark, but neither one has really held my interest... But, there is Misty! She's so cute and lovable. I like both her original color scheme, and the new one - so I made wallpapers for both!

What’s the point of finally having a boy main character in your girly franchise if he always has an uncomfortable expression whenever he reluctantly does a girly thing, and also he just happens to be too busy for the sleepover episode because a boy couldn’t possibly belong in a sleepover full of girls in a cartoon ever. Because uhhh gender
I wonder if this is different in any Tell Your Tale episodes or one of the comics I haven’t read yet.

⚠️MLP Make Your Mark Chapter 2 Spoilers⚠️
Looks like Twilight’s back to her first alicorn form in Make Your Mark; I’m guessing this is either:
Opaline’s doing.
Due to animation/budget restrictions not allowing for another new character model.
Another indication that the writers view FiM′s canon to be a mere suggestion.
The last one might not actually be too likely in this case, to be honest, as a piece of concept art for Sunny actually takes FiM alicorn designs into consideration!

Izzy: I saw ponies talking about me on the Canternet.
Sunny: All good things, right?
Izzy: Mostly, yeah, but they kept spelling my name wrong!
Sunny: How did they spell it? "I-S-S-Y"?
Izzy: No no, the Izzy part's fine. But they kept spelling my last name as "M-O-O-N-B-O-W".
Sunny: I see— wait, no, what? Isn't that how it's written?
Izzy: You've heard me say it! It's "Izzy M-O-O-O-O-N-B-O-W-😏"!
Sunny: How in Equestria did you pronounce that last letter?

YES THERES PONY RACISM AJDJHD
Obviously the newer movie (mlp:ang) has the whole racism allegory, but mlp:fim also had some racism episodes
The main one I remember is “Bridle Gossip” where the ponies are being super discriminatory towards Zecora.
Ex:
OH ZECORA I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT HER WALKJHGFDFG Okay I vaguely remember the pony racism wasdfgjhgf

I checked out the G5 podcast and while it wasn’t the most interesting thing in the world, there was something that caught my attention.
Now, either I’m completely mishearing things or Pipp actually refers to Jazz as “Jazzy Babe” from time to time.
Whatever the case, I thought it would be fun to draw something about that

POSEY THE KAREN
WARNING: (Spoilers in this essay).
When My Little Pony: A New Generation come out, it did something totally different and totally new for MLP. It explored racism - not just in terms of individualistic fears like Ponyville's terror of zebras. It dug deep and gave a bold commentary on actual systemic racism. Season 8 had touched on the subject with Chancellor Neighsay, but even then, it was all about the personal prejudices of individuals in power, not systems of power in action, nor deep rooted cultural fears.
I've written about this in multiple essays since MLP:ANG dropped last September - how, in Maretime Bay, hatred and paranoia are actually an industry - a foundation for a society - an economy of fear.
In the latest special, Make Your Mark, we get to see just a little bit of how that culture continues to linger, even after magic is restored to Equestria. Here, prejudice is painted as a type of petty jealousy hiding behind a faux concern for public safety. A unicorn filly accidentally ruins an earth pony's sandcastle with an umbrella that she couldn't hold on to with her unstable magic. Pegasi drop from the sky, hurting earth ponies. And there's bitterness. Resentment. And something of a grass roots anti-immigrant movement fomenting.
The whole dynamic takes on fascist undertones as Posey galvanizes this general discontent into a rallying cry against magic itself, and the foreigners who use it. To understand fascism, you have to recognize that it's not simply emperors like Sprout commanding from on high - it's also an invitation for members of socially dominant groups to actively engage in the repression of marginalized groups. This, historically, takes the form of violence, discrimination, ostracization, and cries for the state to intervene with yet more violence.
Posey is hardly charging down the street with tanks, or breaking windows, but we still see in her the tyranny of everyday people, and her actions should be hauntingly familiar to anyone paying attention to the state of America today.
Posey is a Karen.
She routinely insists upon appealing to societal authorities to enforce her personal prejudices. The most horrific example of this is when Posey flat out goes to the police station, demands to fill out a report, and attempts to bully Hitch into blaming the entire unicorn race on her misfortunes.
In real life, this kind of behavior has lead to wrongful imprisonment, police harassment of minority groups, and even lynchings. To list both the historical and recent examples of this modus operandi would require me to exceed the character limit of this platform, but suffice it to say that it has happened thousands of times over, and continues to happen right now. Posey's actions mirror our current reality in the most horrific way possible.
In the end, of course, everypony forgives everypony else. Bitterness resolved. Magic restored and stabilized. Even new forms of magic are discovered!
But I think the figure of Posey bears serious discussion nevertheless, as an example of everyday tyranny that doesn't go away the second that the Emperor Sprouts of the world are deposed.
MLP deserves praise for daring to go there.
Discuss.
