Seriously, they are. This is by far the most important issue, if they made their asses fatter it would improve viewership. If they made the ponies thicc prudes would complain, which would only draw in even more viewers. Twilight Sparkle, the protagonist of the series has a fat ass, and her teacher Princess Celestia, who's ass is even fatter.
The main reason is uncanny valley. When something looks human but not quite. A perfect example would be a robot trying to mimic being human, it looks unsettling. It's somewhat insulting towards the ponies, you have Twilight Sparkle there a beautiful unicorn and you can't embrace her just because she's not fully in human shape, even though she has all the qualifications to be a sapient-minded
I am sorry about this blog, but anime as in japanese cartoons made in japan are under attack by western moral puritans, because it doesn't adhere to their moral standards. This strikes me as a very imperialistic mindset, not everyone has to adhere to our values.
If in America: The mob has their way everything will be cancelled till everything is deemed inappropriate and we end up with a bad dystopia nightmare for everyone that doesn't fall in line. Or we will have a new holiday that revolves around the removal of thought/moral cancel culture/policing and people can have free speech again without fear of losing everything.
If in another country....well they can fill in their opinion.
Hell, Team America got away with Kim being the main villain in a racist stereotype but once The Interview shows Kim in a more realistic manner compared to Team America and all of a sudden it got banned for a while.
In order for satire to work, you have to go crazier than whatever you're satirizing. Looking at the world right now, I'm not sure anyone is crazy enough to pull that off without ruining suspension of disbelief.
5300277 Kim reportedly enjoyed the movie. He still banned it, obviously, but he was a relatively good sport about being mocked by people who aren't important enough to start a war over.
Team America was a product of its time - only a couple years after 9/11, and actually had a surprisingly nuanced take on the situation (it wasn't really pro-war or pro-USA, was pretty hard on blind jingoism but also admitted that sometimes war is kind of necessary). And given how things are now... I'm really not sure if any satire can match up to our current reality.

Nah, everyone's offended these days.

I don't think so. Things have changed to much for something like that to fly. But at the same time Bevis and Butthead is coming back.
Maybe. There has always been creators that haven’t been afraid to embrace controversy.
Mine too and I'm doubtful
My dad took me to see it when I was 12, and I turned out okay.
America needs it now, bad.
