Description
This is my second stamp I made.Seriously, Transformers did a PG-13 film series, and it had no problem with the rating nor the film's target demographic, despite its flaws that pissed people off. Same thing with a microseries-turned-telefilm called "G.I. Joe: Resolute".
Why complain about a mature audienced MLP when artist make humanized pin-ups, fanfiction with foul language, or stories of steamy romance?
Sure, I know it's a cartoon made for young girls that have a fandom full of guys like some artists, fanfic writers and other guys out there. But COME ON, They are cartoon horses, not real life horses, they act more human than just equine species in MLP Tales.
Besides, there was r34 of other cartoons than MLP. Yes, it might be disgusting, but I don't complain, I just ignore it.
And to quote: :"It's not easy for everyone to have an active sex life. If anyone doesn't care that this is the case or denies it, they're not worth arguing with because they are closed-minded idiots."
Oh, and people are so close-minded when you claim that masturbating to a kids show is pedophilia. Which it's BS. At least it's not G3.5 (which it's terrible).
Some of them might not agree with me about having a mature audienced My Little Pony film or animated series like the bronies do. But it's worth the shot to have a PG-13/TV-14 MLP seriesΒ so they can leave the target demographic alone (as in don't try to be superior to the little girls by sending the death treats to both the demographic and Hasbro just because you hate Equestria Girls and Equestria Princesses) while the bronies enjoy the magic of friendship on TV (Yes, I am talking Friendship Is Magic).
If this offends you, please forgive me and just ignore it. I made this stamp because I am just sick and tired of the bronies being anti-mature content idiots who bashes on artist like , , , and others who make NSFW art. And don't get me started on the feminazi pegasisters like PinkiePony, she is just unloyal to mature content just because of rape (Yes, rape is a serious thing, but a blog with dirty humor is no big deal).
Β
Also, before you call me a hypocrite just because I was defending mature content fanfiction that is not Creepypasta shit. (god, I hate this "Cupcakes" fanfic media franchise, It ruins my perspective of shipping PinkieDash, just like shippings like FlutterDash, RariDash, TwiDash and AppleDash)
Oh, and if you have a child who likes MLP and is a girl and you're teaching how to use the internet or the girl already knows what to do, be a parent and make sure to prevent your child from seeing MLP rule 34. Because that brings controversy, like the Equestria Girls/Derpy/Alicorn controversy towards the fandom.
Ok, rant over. Even though it's not a NaruRant, but I'd like to thank for giving me reasonable things to defend an idea of having a mature-audienced My Little Pony series, even though he doesn't support it.
Oh and also, Harmony Unleashed is my own version of MLP, for bronies, pegasisters and mature audiences, just to avoid the whole "romance being stereotypically girly" thing when it comes to protagonists.

Besides, With Transformers, I am not bothered by the fact that they made the movies that aren't rated PG or G, but rated PG-13, even if I understand the films have haters.

I disagree with they act more human like then mlpt. To me mlo fim acts more horse like compare to mlpt.
π: 0 β©: 1
In that case, how did they speak and do anything real life horses can't do?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not saying that they weren't human like at all. But compare to mlpt, mlp fim still kept some of their equiness. While mlpt then have none of that. That's what I like about mlp fim although humanize they still keeep some of their ponyish behavior.

But I have no Idea why older bronies pay to much cash just for MLP ??
π
π: 0 β©: 0
But this is a thing I'm thinking What older bronies are different then younger bronies wait I forgot to say Also Normal bronies
Example:
Older bronies want Mature content and they sometimes get finger waggy
Younger bronieslike how the show is and there kind
And normal bronies like to view art and like how the show is and there also very kind like younger ones
Pegaster me :It is okay to read fanfics but do not take to far of liking mlp 
π: 0 β©: 0
Its okay though if they make 2 types of mlp exist like a Mature and a Kid friendly one

I'm not a brony but Mature content is to much the person in Charge of Me says "Mature content,I thought it was a show to enjoy not to take like that" A older audience of mlp I dont think that is really cool what I mean by that is like Hasbro makes friendly shows for people to enjoy but since bronies who are older they want it but I don't think that will happen. But it is no a good or bad idea Because parents have children and they might see it and make there parents make a review like this show tricked me of thinking its a a friendly show.But it is not a bad or good idea but if that happens it will still be in a Kid channel and kids well think it is nice to watch because the title is my little pony and it will kinda damage there brain of saying f*** or S*** so I think bronies like mlp but are taking it to a little to far you can still like it but not like taking it to far because little kids will watch the Show and tell there parents that the show is PG-13 or much Mature but I think the show should stay kid friendly

Besides, the Transformers movies (soon to be a cinematic universe), it has been rated PG-13 and yet people didn't complain about the rating rather than the execution of the films done wrong according to Michael Bay haters who were critics and TF fans.
And TF, like MLP, was made for children too. Yes, the demographic is different, but Prime, Rescue Bots and Robots in Disguise 2015 were not rated TV-14 nor TV-PG. (Let alone separate from the Bayformers)
π: 0 β©: 0
You might be right.
At least you said it's possible to have two separate MLP incarnations (one for grown-ups and one for kids, just like Transformers with the TV shows for kids and the upcoming Combiner Wars cartoon and the Bayformers live-action movies for grown ups.), which I agree.

Well, I don't care about what those mature content people do... I don't look at it.
Regarding a more mature MLP series, while I don't even like the Transformers Movies, a mature MLP series isn't technically bad idea... but it depends on the content featured, because you still have the brand name of MLP on it, so parents may take their kids to see it, either on TV or on the Big screen. I don't think having objectionable material would be good, as you may have angry people under this and it won't look pretty. It's probably best to split this mature version off of MLP with a new name and new... outlook, so that parents won't confuse it for MLP, thus keeping a good name for MLP, as well as make that part of the fandom happy.
Also... I really don't like a majority of the brony fandom. They just keep throwing the fact that MLP is a girl's toy line out of the window, as if it's a show that was only meant for them. MLP, even FIM, is not for them; it never was for them; just deal with it. (not you) It sickens me to keep seeing bronies bash G3 and G3.5 for being girly... that was because it was for girls; sure, it was stereotypical and cheesy (and I didn't it bad, though), but it was meant for girls. I know this was a bit off topic, but this bothered me a lot.
π: 0 β©: 1
I know it's for girls, but do you even realize how much the crew did something to make it enjoyable not just for girls, but also for families?
And also, if a mature (PG-13 or R) version off of MLP should have a new name and different outlook, then it would be either licensed by a different company (ex. Bandai or any independent company) or licensed by Hasbro without relating it to MLP, despite its similarities. (Like an alternate universe or something) But I couldn't think of a name that relates ponies and mature stuff. (And it's kinda hard since you don't look at mature stuff.)
And If you like MLP G3/G3.5, that's fine. I respect your opinion.
π: 0 β©: 2
I agree with its not just for girls it is for families to enjoy. And I think so like people can enjoy the show like if Hasbro done a mature mlp they could make 2 types of mlp like one for kids and ones for older audience
π: 0 β©: 0
I do know that... I see that FIM can be enjoyed by a lot of people (I call it a "little girl's show for everyone"), but these other bronies are blowing off the fact that MLP is for little girls. I'm not saying non-little girls can't enjoy FIM, i'm just saying that bronies shouldn't blow the fact off.
Hasbro could still hold it; separate from MLP. They did a similar thing back in the 1980's, though... not mature; they did Dream Beauties, which spun off from MLP by being realistic ponies. That can happen again, though... with the mature thing... though I don't know a name. It doesn't have to have the name "pony" in it.
Great!

Sorry, I was just concerned if an unrelated-to-G4 MLP incarnations for 18+ is not the same because of a new outlook.
π: 0 β©: 0
If it is not necessary with the Pony word, then it wouldn't be the same. I mean, a character resembling a character from the MLP universe (voice wise, personality wise, appearance wise) would be nice, but it wouldn't be the same if unrelated to both the show and Equestria Girls, or the franchise as a whole.
Maybe I can think of a name for a certain idea for the older 16+ demographic, like "Harmony Unleashed" for example. Or maybe have anthros or humans (real humans), or maybe centaurs.

I actually got into the show through cupcakes and grimdark stuff. Gotta admit, the horror freak n me would love a show based on the grmdark stuff...
I'm messed that way.

as much as I appreciate more mature entertainment, I usually watch MLP to escape to simpler (yet still well written) forms of entertainment. A mature version of MLP would counteract the reason I think most of us watch it.
Honestly, the darker, more mature stuff fans do with it kind of bother me ._.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, it doesn't necessarily be a darker mature version, I don't mean by that. I refer to a Futurama-humor styled (not controversial ones like Family Guy) mixed with humors from the show, decent writing level and fanservice (not necessarily sexual) mature-audienced kind of show.
Oh, and I hate grimdark too.
I made this stamp because I am sick and tired of moralfags and feminazis preventing the possibilities of a MLP show or spin-off for an older audience, like Transformers and G.I. Joe did with the films.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I get that. I'm not a moralfag or a feminazi. I just question if MLP would translate well in such a way. Especially given what the franchise is meant to be

Transformers and G.I. Joe were made for boys and the film series has no big deal that it had a PG-13 rating for mature content, despite the criticism towards both film series are focused on the story and the crude humor.
Despite the film series' demographic, Hasbro made shows for kids that adults are also enjoy, like Transformers: Prime and G.I Joe Renegades.
So if there were a mature audienced spin-off of My Little Pony for young women or for both teen/adult men and women (I ain't talking about McCarthy Girls (Equestria Girls, I just pulled a Bayformers name out of EqG)) it probably won't hurt the target demographic of the franchise, just like Transformers did with its film series as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (As in making a PG-13 film/TV-PG show and yet selling toys for young kids and making TV shows for kids that it could also allow multiple demographics).

Transformers and GI Joe lend themselves more to potentially more mature writing. This wouldn't be impossible for MLP but would be harder and It would have to depend on what exactly was planned to do to make more mature. The IDW comics have come up with some interesting stuff. If we went somewhere like that then it could possible work. But it could also seem out of place if gone too far. (I feel the new Thundercats, as good as it was suffered from this problem) Especially since from my experience, most people seem to enjoy MLP because it feels like a break from all the more mature, and adult writing that most cartoons and movies do now.

Of course, but there's a minority who are sane.

I don't know what brought this on but here's my 2Β’ for the ante - Series like Batman:TAS and Justice League, despite being [Y7] rated, provided more mature storytelling than most animated series at the time.
Hell, there were two versions of the Batman Beyond movie, Return of the Joker, and the uncut version is one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces ever produced (and all the more reason for the WB execs to 'pull a Schlesinger' and let the animation team(s) do their job(s) unhindered).
It goes without saying that animation isn't just for children - there will always be a time slot for mature examples of the medium.
I'm just hoping that, if there *is* a new MLP series being produced, it will shed the trappings that McFarlane's series (ie Family Guy, American Dad, Cleveland Show) and Stripperella introduced (ie cornball dialogue, stupid/one-sided humor, character abuse) and continue building on what made the current series popular in the first place.
After 'brain rot' like Fanboy & Chum-Chum and Annoying Orange, an(other) entertaining yet intelligent series would be more than welcome.

"a cartoon made for young girls"
This here, ugh, its not made for young girls, made to be enjoyed by children, with an appeal to adults.
The use of that is really getting old.
π: 0 β©: 2
Its main demographic is little girls, it is aimed at little girls, it is focused on appealing to little girls first. All the rest fall behind them in the lineup.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sorry, but all i see and other countless comments with the words "oh its geared towards this/that first" , "oh the rest are thought about second". Its like the stigma of what demographic a show is geared towards always rears its ugly head, and what society see what a certain thing is labeled for.
Shame we all can't just like something without society labeling stuff like this purely by gender.
"My Little Pony may be aimed squarely at YOUNGER audiences, but the universal appeal of the series for ALL ages is recognized by the show's creator, Lauren Faust" (its from the official MLP: FIM guide book)

Hasbro is a company first, that [i]markets things[/i]. Do you know what marketing is? I will explain if you don't.
Marketing is where you have a [i]demographic[/i]. For instance, the videogame Grand Theft Auto is [i]marketed[/i] at the 18-35 male demographic. That means, Rockstar Games is using marketing executives to make this game appealing to MAINLY men from the ages of 18 to 35. If it draws in others that's great, but they MAINLY want those males buying their game.
Hasbro hires marketing executives to research certain markets, mainly the infant to 12 years old age group. Hasbro manufactures toys. They want MAINLY girls from the ages of 3 to 6 buying ponies, hence all the pink crap, because Hasbro is in the stone age with their marketing decisions. But when they manufacture a limited edition Optimus Prime aimed at collectors, who do you think they want buying that?
Older men who grew up watching the old Transformers cartoon, obviously. Hence the inflated price, "limited edition" label, and even maybe an "edition out of 1,000" for even more cash.
When Hasbro makes hundreds of thousands of plastic Pinkie Pies, their minds are set on little girls asking for them. [b]Everyone else comes second.[/b]
So yes, certain forms of entertainment, especially ones that have merchandise they want to sell to you, have certain groups that come first, and all other groups come second.

Hmm, funny that it took you this long to reply. But really it doesn't matter, just ignore this pointless conversation and move on :/
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, because I have a life. Funny how that works I guess? And I suppose it's only pointless because I backed up my argument and therefore you have nothing to say in response?
That's cool.
Sucks that DA doesn't use BBcode though.

Not the case at all. I didn't reply then cause i don't want to continue such a pointless argument :/
π: 0 β©: 1
It's not pointless when I back up my side with facts, which I did. You're only calling it "pointless" because you have nothing more to add.
The fact is the main demographic for all toys are children.
