One of the many side affects of post-modernism today is a rejection of the honest, sincere, and wholesome.
You can like something, but you can't like it too much or else you're a gross nerd.
You can show emotion, but you can't show too much or else you're a loser.
You can create something, but it has to go in a new direction or subvert/dissect the genre.
Everything has to be viewed through some kind of political lens.
Everything nice and sweet has no business outside a baby's cradle.
And yet everything supposedly adult is infantilized as if begging us to remain trapped in an undeveloped, stillborn wasteland of mature immaturity.
Do your own thing, but get a job and pay your taxes.
Make friends, but keep them at arm's length.
Enjoy what you want, but stay socially conscious.
Be emotional but not sentimental.
Embrace idealism but only for ideals deemed important and non-problematic.
Things can be nice but only for the correct reasons.
Everything must be overcomplicated and misinterpreted because we cannot suffer to exist the pure and wholesome things in the world.
And despite being needlessly bogged down in complications, everything must also be abstracted down to the point of meaninglessness.
Everything sacred must be torn burned.
Everything old must be pillaged.
And what is Pony if not a simple, nice thing that hearkens back to more innocent times of fairy tales and simple happiness before we polluted the world with irony and analysis?
