>Might want you to go more into this, if you want to, sometime.
Sure! I wouldn't mind at all.
>Though, as long as you weren't blindly spaming EQG on every thread and shitposting back and forth in a /mlp/ barbiefag versus MARES! kind of way I don't see the problem with the occasional EQG pic in the same way anthro is sometimes posted around here.
Gotcha! I wouldn't want to make it a rivalry thing anyways - EQG wouldn't be much of anything without the pony influence after all, it would just be 'normal highschool', so I don't really understand the conflict. Plus I somewhat feel that after graduation, Sunset might just go back to Equestria in any case. The group of friends would have less time to hang out once they all got jobs, and they could just as easily get those special journals that Twilight and Sunset use to talk so they can stay in touch with Sunset that way.
>G5 has a much higher bar to pass, at least when being compared to G4, because of G4's existence, for better or worse.
It's very tricky to balance adult interest in the show with marketing to children. As I understand it, EQG was actually an attempt by Hasbro to capitalise on adult interest in the show - and it pretty much mostly backfired. The issue with the Brony fandom in particular is I think as soon as you start marketing directly to them, they'll turn against the show as 'shallow' and 'manipulative', so it's a tricky demographic even if you were to ignore the children entirely.
