On the one hand, even if it had some “woke” elements, that does not forestall enjoyment for me. It could bring something interesting to the table or even be more of a marketing tactic in phrasing. I’m not going to completely write this off till I see it.
On the other hand, the phrasing, “diversity and inclusion” have been sullied by the ideology that has spread throughout our intellectual and media class and is
a complete red flag for me Worse though, is the plot being framed as a “activist” that is “trying to improve Equestria”. That feels like they are reacting to a lot of modern issues or at least framing it that way. If it’s about some racism in the world though that lens there is a chance for cringe. Worse still, if there is any meta context to the fandom itself. That would trigger a civil war if the show was a success and a renewed twitter crusade with some media pressure.
I sure don’t want it. Nor do I want a right wing and left wing polarized fandom split. That would destroy the culture.
Not going to go there in full till I see it though. This could easily be a whole Scootaloo’s lesbian aunts being a big deal when in reality it was insincere tokenism with Scootaloo’s absent fan fic tier parents being the real characters that should had the scrutiny.

Unless they’re changing places outside Equestria,the first movie introduced a dark world of corruption outside their own known world.
That would be cool and best case.
