We Took That Pretty Well.

For the most part, My Little Pony hasn't done "issues" episodes.  This week they decided to cover bullying, and they handled it rather nicely - the episode didn't go into After-School Special "Let's Be Dramatic" mode, it just slipped its lesson into the weave here and there.

There were some early rumblings from the idiots in the corners of the fanbase, but for the most part, the bronies managed to remember the important part about our group: large as our demographic may be, we are still a periphery demographic, and this is still a kid's show.  Thus we should expect it to have episodes like this now and then.
