I consider season 9 to be a final middle finger to bronies, essentially hasbro giving us one last middle finger before G4 ends. I figure they got fed up with bronies and their antics, and ultimately wanted to cut all ties with them, to be honest who can blame them, a toy manafacturer like hasbro could do without all the adult themes and nsfw stuff adult fans create; it compromises brand image and is a PR disaster waiting to happen.
During develpment of G5, I visulise execs saying “We’ll make this so crappy no adult will want to watcn it”. (I know some folk enjoy it, fair play to them.)

Regardless of all this, I still like MLP. You don’t have to love every episode, season, generation or character to be a fan; It’s a show not a religion
though some fans would have you believe otherwise. Don’t be so quick to tear up your brony card.
