Line 50:
* [[Most Writers Are Human]]: A major problem some fans have with the story is that the writer injects human mindsets and beliefs into a world where there shouldn't be, such as sexism against women despite being a female dominated world.
** He also seems to have a hard time understanding the more supernatural elements of the show and [[Blue And Orange Mortaly]]. For example Discord is merely just an evil tyrant rather than a god of chaos who did everything [[For the Lulz]] and Windigos are missing for his retelling of Equestria's founding.
* [[New Powers Asas the Plot Demands]]: In Chapter Ten, a wounded Lt. Nightshade flies more quickly than a healthy Rainbow Dash. This could be seen to double as an [[Unfortunate Implications|unfortunate implication]], being an instance of a male character easily upstaging one of the canonical female main characters.
** The character whose defining trait is her speed, no less.
* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: The only reason why Rarity isn't "a model feminist" (in her own words) is because she runs her own dress making shop, it seems. At least, according to career soldier Storm Cloud. Rarity only seems to agree with her point of view on her profession in order to drive home her overall point: {{spoiler|that she ''chose'' to become a dressmaker instead of taking her cutie mark's meaning (finding gems) at face value and becoming a miner or something that more precisely fits. She didn't see her destiny as set in stone, but uses her talents to support a career she ''really'' enjoys}}.
Line 65:
*** Which is leading to more [[Unfortunate Implications]] as the writer is also trying to make him into an anti-villain by removing most or his horrible actions: so women (or mares) can be flawed and make poor decisions, but men (or stallions) can't and don't.
** Chapter 9 outright states that the [[Armies Are Evil|Royal Guard care nothing about the civilians they're supposed to protect.]]
** All throughout the story, from the author's justification for the actions of the guards to Mac's speech to Applejack regarding Luna, there seems to be a nonstop implication that nobody can or should be held responsible for their actions so long as they're [[Just Following Orders|just following orders]].
** Any responsibility male characters hold is downplayed or blamed upon women.
*** Braveheart's assault on Sweet Apple Acres is blamed on ''Applejack'' being arrested and spilling the beans.
