    see also nazi bronies, who like a show about friendship and acceptance and yet swing hard towards hateful views of others.

    Back in the heyday of generation 4 (the one that exploded onto the internet in the early 10s) there was a large and active blog called "My Nationalist Pony" dedicated to arguing that the show promoted white supremacist values (the blog owner was a Nazi and considered this a good thing)

    Mercifully this sort of thing seems to have dropped off sharply in the current generation, possibly because the movie's villain was the failson of a war profiteer who spread xenophobic propaganda to sell her F-35 tier weapons. Also a story arc towards the end of gen 4 where the protagonists open a school to promote friendship among all the races.
