Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The series primarily focuses on universal virtues like friendship, empathy, and cooperation, and individual moral growth, consciously avoiding politically charged themes or systemic critiques.
The series features non-human characters, which makes the assessment of human racial or gender representation inapplicable in the traditional sense. The narrative centers on universal themes of friendship and positive values, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional human identities.
Secondary
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic includes a positive and affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters through Aunt Holiday and Aunt Lofty. They are depicted as a loving same-sex couple and supportive adoptive parents, integrating their relationship naturally into the show's narrative without negative framing or stereotypes.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a children's animated series centered on themes of friendship and adventure. The show does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or explore transsexual themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal to evaluate under the given rubric.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The show maintains the established genders of its core and recurring characters from the broader My Little Pony franchise. No characters who were canonically, historically, or widely established as one gender in prior iterations are portrayed as a different gender in this series.
The characters in "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" are anthropomorphic ponies, not humans. The concept of "race swap" as defined applies to human characters or characters with established human-like racial characteristics, which is not applicable to ponies.
