(I didn’t, largely since I’ve never watched a single episode, but the psychic damage and whiplash of Wholesome Pony Show having said this line was too fuckn much for me)

EDIT: More replies than upbears now. It’s probably an official struggle session now (although most of it is that one person). One must imagine SisyFEWs happy.

    you might find yourself wondering something like “what if a pony’s special talent is something they can’t get paid for doing” or “where did the fashionista pony get the startup capital for her dressmaking business”.

    Or “what the Hell is Fluttershy’s business model? Do the animals have money?”

    The show mostly sidesteps questions of exploitation by depicting every main character as an artisan with no employees

    The “fashionista pony” does have employees, albeit in her Manehattan boutique instead of her studio in Ponyville.

    Also, Pinkie Pie is an employee of Mr. and Mrs. Cake.
