Despite the showrunners bending over backwards to appease sjws, it seems like FiM was still too problematic for sjws. Apparently, because Twilight and her friends sometimes solve problems with magic, that's sexist because they're not solving problems with math and logic.
…disregarding the fact that they're ponies living in a fantasy magical world, where using magic to solve problems is a viable option.
Just another reminder that if you try to appeal to sjws, it'll never be good enough because of their neverending purity spiral.

>the inference is that they're girls
This is like that Christwire article where the guy claimed the mane six include 4 trannies.
>Sesame Street had a character with autism
Somehow I'm not surprised at this point.
>Iranian woman wants more kids shows with gay couples
Maybe she should try selling it at home first.
>magic vs math, logic, and stem cells
Saved this for last since it's the core argument and also the biggest pile of bullshit. Shows for boys use magic for plot resolutions all the time. Even shows like Jimmy Neutron and Dexter's Lab, the outcome was just whatever the writers could think of, and usually was scientific in name only. My favorite shows as a kid actually made a point of being logically inconsistent as a source of humor.

Magic itself is treated as this thing that you have to really study and apply yourself to be good at, perhaps they should dub out magic and replace it with technology for these people.

Not only that, but its rare that they use magic to fix the problem of the week. Its usually done through logic and talking things over, not zapping the problem with the rainbow laser.

This but I'm pretty sure I remember reading by another anon that it's just better to write "magic", IIRC, something about a certain evildoer and/or their followers using it doesn't mean it's right, though I'm sure that's not what I was told.

Scootaloo. From a show YOU reference later. Fuck off.
To a lesser extent derpy with her amblyopia.

"Sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from technology." -not Bookhorse. Also, too hard of a concept for the feeble liberal mind.

I'm… pretty sure she has more than just amblyopia. That girl is definitely on the spectrum.

Obviously yeah, though they covered that base by specifying 'physical' disability.

funny, i was flipping through channels and crossed xena and charmed and got me thinking lately how embarrassing it must seem that fictional female characters have to 'magically' solve their problems (of course, older shows at least give moral opponents their side of the story as opposed to now)
as for the legitimacy and realness of magic as study, practice, worldly force, fim's approach (study, practice, testing, danger, overwhelming power, mistakes and unknowable chaos) isn't bad

I miss when even powerful Twilight had difficulty doing what now seem like simple spells.

My taxes pay for this tripe. It's little more than propaganda at this point, similar to the BBC in bongland. You can tell the woman who allegedly did this "research" is reading off a teleprompter and has no idea what she actually means to say. She says "the inference is that they're girls" when she's describing characters who are explicitly female. Most of the characters are female, because the show and its toys are marketed at young girls (remember target demographics? it's crazy how those don't exist anymore). There are clear distinctions between stallions and mares in the series, and the (((writer))) who wrote her script is pretending all the characters are amorphous blobs.
>too many men, how awful
>nonhuman characters act white, it's disgusting
>cherry picked footage of rarity obsessing over random jewels instead of the many times the characters have perfectly normal social problems or action scenes
<LOOK AT SESAME STREET THEY HAVE AN AUTIST
<LOOK AT THIS FRUMPY BROWN WOMAN WHO MADE AN UGLY SHOW WITH MUTTS, SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL
These are the kinds of non-problems only a generation too busy and aloof to care for their own children could ever worry about. People treat children like parasites and become frustrated when (((television))) doesn't raise them automatically.
I'm proud of you for making a webm, though, OP. Giving these sniveling worms a fraction of a penny would be too much.
