>Seems so weird that Ponies would somehow get joined with that
honestly, if one digs deeper about the whole situation happening out there, it might not be all that crazy. When you look at the main brands of Hasbro, MLP stands out as one of the main ones along with Transformers and Littlest Pet Shop and considering that the mane 6 are fully recognizable characters that anyone could point out, the company could throw any image/vector about them and anyone would identify them without necessarily being a fan of this franchise. Hasbro could have applied this same tactic with the previous generations anyway but they a powerful weapon for marketing these days. It´s like seeing Optimus Prime out there in an ad for a new Michael Bay movie.

Besides, I´ve heard that economies are gravitating around the coronavirus just to justify their movements in stocks, using the virus as an excuse just to do those actions without explaining them too much beyond that argument. We would enter here in an economical topic here. Basically, what Hasbro has basically done is that they have taken advantage of this phenomenon just to promote its franchise and send innocent vectors to the chinese, expanding their possible audience. Other companies are doing weirder things than this though.
