So after blitzing through the first 3 seasons again (because why not) I've noticed just how feministic the show was in season 1. I mean, the only males who aren't antagonistic are a laborer who can only say "Eyup" and a guy (who IS antagonistic anyway in certain episodes) who becomes the punchline of every slapstick joke. Starting in season 2, the show's been slowly getting over that, to the point where season 4 has entire episodes about strong male characters. And don't get me started on the bakcground pony male-female ratio.

I think this might have somethibg to do with Faust leaving, since you don't have to look to deep into her background to see she's an avid feminist. For that reason, I think the show's actually better for her absence. I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have had stuff like Cheese Sandwich and Seas Breeze and Big Mac singing and Discord as a good guy with her around.
