No, I'm just really concerned about what the implications for the future are due to this trend. Who better to shed some light than those advancing it?
I wouldn't be too concerned as with any fandom there are those that will take things to the extreme. Anime fans can be one example where you have different levels where people can be downright obsessed with a series to a point it becomes a problem. The same goes for anything when dealing with obsession along with the powerful implications it imposes on people. When WoW was taking off we saw the many fans completely dedicated to it even seeing the media jump in saying people were dieing because of it.
There were two I think three incidents were the loss of life occured due to WoW. Believe a kid killed himself because of the game committing suicide while a baby died in china because the parents were playing WoW at a computer store.
Hopefully the overall tone of the series will keep such ghastly things from happening but the overall thing to keep in mind is people will be obsessed with anything. MLPFIM is a great show that reaches out to audiences young and old playing on a fine line of key factors. This is what has drawn many people including myself to the show since it has good animation, well done stories, and the "old" audience factor. The references in season 1 to advlt stuff was great with season 2 shaping up to be even better.
