    They made it for themselves but let us set up instances outside of their control due to their morals that software should be open for all. Again proving the best open source software comes from scratching a personal itch.

          Off-topic, but the Starlight Glimmer art is on the point so well.

          Starlight is one of the best representations of the Tankie IMO.

          And the writers had the guts to pull it off in a show meant for a 5yo.

          That’s impressive honestly.

            Kinda. S5 GlimGlam? Yes. S6? Nah.

            The problem was childhood-trauma-induced fake-smiles-forcing cutiemark-taking with propaganda. Remove it and what remains isn’t bad. Doesn’t seem to be much different from ideology of other places.

            As an example from first season there is Winter Wrap-up, which is basically annual subbotnik.

              That’s true, now that I think about it. But I still think the writers nailed the mindset in S5.

              The final battle between Starlight and Twilight was epic for the lack of a better word.
