I'd rather talk about how "Feeling Pinkie Keen" promotes religion.
Or how Trixie didn't do anything wrong.
Or how Gilda is a victim of society.
Or how Celestia is a tyrant.
Or how Rainbow Dash/Twilight Sparkle is a mary sue.
Or how Applejack/Rarity is a terrible character.
Or how "A Dog and Pony Show" teaches you that crying is a good way to get what you want.
Or how Twilight is black.

So, almost anything else. I'm with you there, man.
...Twilight is black? That's a theory? That's the first time I've heard that one.

Or whether or not Pony Rule 34 is sick and wrong.
Or whether Pinkie Pie is suffering from a severe mental disorder like bipolar or schizophrenic personality disorder (that theory pisses me off as much as the Feeling Pinkie Keen and Mary Sue debates).

I don't think s-(bang)
Also, Why do more people consider TS and RD to be mary sues than, oh let's say, Pinkie? (I don't think that anymore, but she's closer to being one than those two) What about them is sue-ish?

When I think of a Mary Sue, I think of Enoby Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way or Bella Swan. Not any of our beloved Ponies.

Well, Twilight is purple. Classic Mary Sue trait. Also, strongest magic. Rainbow Dash because of Cutie Mark Chronicles.
As for Twilight is black, that was an assumption that the person who wrote the terrible article for Ms. magazine, in which she implied that Rainbow Dash looked "maniacal" and not completely adorable.

Made Sonic Rainboom that led to all the other ponies getting cutie marks, thus Rainbow Dash was responsible for blah blah blah.
Not saying I believe any of this stuff. These are all just excellent troll topics.

:Me nei-*bang*
Just putting my thoughts on the matter here. I do not want to spark off a flamewar here, so if you'd like to discuss (with or against), please do so with a PM. Not that I expect this to be that inflammatory anyway, but.
Anyway, I view it like this: from a meta standpoint, Lauren Faust is right. "I'm a big girl" - (well, you know what I mean) - "When things get too icky, I find something else to do." Putting that aside, though, ponies obviously reproduce - and if it's a loving and consenting relationship, who cares? There's explicit fanart of literally every other couple imaginable out there, and plenty without love or consent, so there are worse things than explicit pictures with more than four feet in them.
MOVING ON. People honestly think Dash is a Mary Sue? She's good at what she does, yeah, but so are the rest of the main cast. In fact, so are most individuals who are competent to live their own lives. She also has several issues, though, as the rest of them do.

Rainbow Dash is very, very far from being a Mary Sue, at least to me.

Why Dash? Fluttershy is the most obviously chirality challenged, since her hair tends to cross in front of her face.
It's pronounced "Te-ah-low-ve"

So this is what you guys do when I'm not looking? 
Anyway, here's some official animator pose stuff.
Apparently quite a few former Ed, Edd and Eddy storyboard artists work on MLP. Hmm.

I have to say, I'm iffy on the other generations, given that they weren't produced by Lauren Faust (and are, in fact, not that great - or so I've heard).
Oh, well, can I like My Little Pony while being iffy about Lauren Faust?

A weird thing I've noticed, is that whenever I see human art of the ponies. RD is almost always the most flat chested, and Fluttershy always has the biggest bust.

Not surprising, as athletic types are often depicted as being less well-endowed. (Unless they're a superhero.)
As for Fluttershy, there's apparently a thing where the shy moe-blob gets the huge tracts of land.
But apart, all we are is just a pile of mush and some crumbly dry mess...

Brining back "Feeling Pinkie Keen" I wonder where fans got the "religious" angle. It's not like anyone except the Mane cast knew about Pinkie's talents so it wasn't pushed on everyone. In fact "Bridle Gosip" seems to reject the idea of untested superstitions. As pointed out earlier in this thread Twilight's problem in "Feeling Pinkie Keen" is that Twilight outright rejected the phenomenon of the "Pinkie Sense" without doing any tests first. There's a difference between being skeptical and being close minded.

The problem is that if there is even a 1% chance that something could possibly related to religion, people will jump on it.
