So it's only speaking characters we can't see get punched in the face. And apparently that's the only non-bloody violence that can't be done in a show suitable for younger viewers, because throwing someone into the side of a mountain, smashing her through it, violently smashing someone down to the ground, killing speaking villains either through magical means or by having them fall off a cliff, stomping on a character, and backhanding or kicking a character in the face is perfectly fine, regardless (in all cases except for the death) of whether or not it's a villain. They can even show characters cutting their own heads off as long as there's no blood, or cutting their tails off which are prehensile and act as their fifth limbs (as the pony in question demonstrates in this episode). (I'd include the way Fluttershy and the manticore tail whip Twilight and Rainbow Dash, respectively, but IRL the only creatures that can attack with their tails are scorpions and stingrays, both of whom sting)
