While I like the series, I keep getting the sinking suspicion that the show has been leaning towards pandering to kids for the past few seasons now...

Still it's probably good that the show is coming to an end so that it doesn't go on forever...
How do you mean pandering to kids? I mean the show does have 2 confirmed lesbian couples with a most likely 3rd.

It does? I mean, Lyra and Bon Bon are one, who are the others?

Edit: I suppose Applejack and Rainbow Dash could count if you squint hard enough, especially at the finale.

Scootaloo's aunts were confirmed lesbians in a comic book

Well I mean it is a kids show. Id hope they panda to kids
Was gonna say, that's a weird word to use. The show doesn't "pander" to kids. It targets them. Always did.

There's Lyra and Bonbon, Scootaloo's aunts and its kinda pretty implied that Rainbow and Aj are together.

Technically, yes. But there used to be some quality to it... then from what I can tell it got a bit more... kiddified. Or maybe that's just my paranoia talking...

I would really say that the first season is the most kiddified of them all. It does have some of that, which you have to expect from a western cartoon.

Its not gonna. Its been 9 years and if FRIENDS, Park and Rec and the Office are still a thing, despite a distinct, noticeable and painful lack of ponies in all those shows, then you better believe Ponies will still be a thing decades from now.

Oh fun thing! During a Q/A, it was revealed Josh Haber, editor, says the new pony Luster Dawn [https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/bcbecaff-ef7e-4800-94fa-3e3efc341d5f/ddez6a5-2c985e6b-fe14-4442-af5a-7a96cf58a02b.png/v1/fill/w_1280,h_1273,strp/luster_dawn_by_digimonlover101_ddez6a5-fullview.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MTI3MyIsInBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcL2JjYmVjYWZmLWVmN2UtNDgwMC05NGZhLTNlM2VmYzM0MWQ1ZlwvZGRlejZhNS0yYzk4NWU2Yi1mZTE0LTQ0NDItYWY1YS03YTk2Y2Y1OGEwMmIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTEyODAifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6aW1hZ2Uub3BlcmF0aW9ucyJdfQ.mhQYcIItVmWqiTTlt6aT9jUJZFsPULTDyw45QpwyQyo] is the daughter of Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst. That's pretty cool

Potentially, though if there was a season that arguably became kidified, it would be season 8 with the Young Six and School of Friendship. Apart from that, easily the most 'kiddy' season is the first one.

You're going to be waiting awhile.

It's not a rumour, it's outright confirmed.
