And didn't she say something about not every girl wanted to be a princess? I wonder if she knew about Twilicorn before she left, because the episode was written in December of 2011, because before that Hasbro must have been working on the toyline for 2013, and being where she was working on the show, I feel like at the very least she would be aware.
That's her "there are many ways to be a girl" belief. Back when the alicorn Twilight news finally broke last year, the announcement came with a line from Meghan McCarthy saying that "every little girl wants to be a princess," though to this day I still think that's something Hasbro forced her to say.

I've been trying to be a lot more vocal when I see people who say this kind of crap, so I outright asked him what was creepy about it, and how someone watching the show on their own laptop on a plane could possibly be offensive. I'm probably going to wake up to a mountain of Facebook flame posts.
Hopefully he'll have an actual rationale for being bothered by fans of this show. Like, maybe he'll have heard of all the bad bronies and just assumed that everyone in this fandom is obsessed with sexualizing a children's cartoon. At least disliking us for that is less bad than just thinking that adults aren't allowed to like the same things that kids like.
