So which episodes were banned, OP?
For some reason I think one of them would be Hearth's warming Eve.
>>27018648
Not OP, but the banned episodes include Luna Eclipsed, The Show Stoppers, Feeling Pinkie Keen and Hearts and Hooves day.
They also cut scenes like Angel slapping Fluttershy, the barking pony and all romantic references (e.g. in the Gala song, Rarity's part was completely cut).
The one episode I really expected to get banned in quite a few countries (The Cutie Map) wasn't banned anywhere so far though.
Daily reminder that we live in a world where My Little Pony gets censored.
>>27018495
[Citation need intensifies]
>>27018677
Really? Does this apply to any other country? How the hell do they even censor it? Don't they have to watch it first so they can cut off the bits they don't need?
Sorry if I'm acting like an autist, but I'm really confused at the moment.

Don't you realize the chaos it would cause if kids saw a pony barking?

Good for nothing Turkroaches and their evil religion censoring my waifu's first appearance that gives her any sort of characterization. They're just scared because the Princess of the Night will topple their false god in the end.
>>27018694
To my knowledge, every show that gets dubbed is first watched by some committee to decide what age group it's suited for, what parts will be cut and what will be changed. In countries with little media liberty like Turkey, Russia and most arabic countries they make sure to cut everything that could cause children to ask unwanted questions.
Naturally it's not just MLP. Said countries censor the shit out of everything.
>>27018721
>>27018694
Sad but true.
2 centuries ago Simpsons was my favorite cartoon. I could recite every line from the show like those homo faggots in the online comic.
It wasn't until I got Foxtel in the 00's that I learned that every fucking episode was censored. All of it ridiculous shit that made no sense to censor.
>>27018694
>>27018721
No joke - in Canada, the word "loser" was censored in MLP as it was considered too offensive.
>>27018735
Only in the first couple of seasons. In s5 "loser" was okay, but "dweeb" and "doofus" were censored. It's ridiculous.
>>27018735
Canada's getting too touchy-feely.
You know?

Im pretty sure the Super Cider Squeezy 3000 can never be shown in the UK because Cider is a alcoholic drink and it makes all pones look like massive fucking alcoholics
>The term "magic" (سحر) is not explicitly used most of the time. The Arabic dub refers to magic mostly as قوة عجيبة ("Amazing powers").
>>27018762
Twilight studied amazing powers quite a lot then.
>>27018726
>>27018721
>>27018735
Holy shit. That's both amazing and sad at the same time. There is one more question I have to ask:
Why is it Turkey that keeps censoring everything?
It's probably related to religion, but I would still like to know.
>>27018495
Knew a few of these, but still nice. Keep coming back with little known facts about the show
>all this censoring
meanwhile in my country:
>>27018735
Was every instance replaced with "take off, hoser"?
Hasbro made specific edits/requests to Griffonstone to ensure that the statue of King Guto was clearly not being worshipped as a God according to AKR.
Tree Hugger was originally supposed to be a soccer momish Martha Stewart expy, but Nicole Oliver really rocked a hippy voice.

>>Lauren Faust was pressured by Hasbro to make a character that liked dresses, Faust was against it, but finally compromised by letting one of the Mane 6 be a seamstress with her own business, Rarity.
What the fuck are you talking about nigger? Faust herself confirmed during a donation stream that she wanted Rarity, but Hasbro wanted a pony who liked shopping. The compromise was that Rarity ran a business.
>>27018711
Except Faust has also said Rarity is the character she's most proud of as well.

Kek, kind of reminds me of how in the German dub one line of Pinkie's song about Zecora in Bridle Gossip says
>she invites devils to dance with her
>>27019564
I imagine it's equivalent to "Fights like hell".
>>27018495
>Tara Strong wasn't told she was supposed to be whispering, which is why Twilight is talking normally, and everyone else is whispering.
That's less a fun fact and more of a blatant failure by the director.

In fairness to the UK, they look like alcoholics anyway based on how they react to the cider. Plus only alcoholic cider tends to get that foamy.
>>27019882
In this case, embarrassed.
>>27019790
I think that only works if the Polish word for fly (the insect) is the same as the Polish word for flying.
Google translate is telling me that the insect is "frunąć" and the action is "latać", though. Not really close enough for the pun to work.
>>27019333
>Flies like Satan
My sides
Based Poland
What's the Japanese fandom like anyway?
>>27018495
In 'Dog and pony show' The Diamond dogs obviously based upon the song by Bowie make reference to the song's lyrics by hiding behind trees and 'poaching'. This is also mentioned in the map of Equestria.
Pinkie pie would supposedly hum the tune or perhaps even quote 'Diamond Dogs' and break the 4th wall, but apparently it wasn't kept due to legal issues
In the 2 comics featuring Diamond dogs statues in Bowie's likeness and literal Spider-people elude to Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars.
When Trixie becomes the leader of the dogs there are subtle reference to the song 'Queen Bitch' presumably because this is what Trixie becomes.
>>27019927
>can't even use google translate
wow
>>27019927
>using google translate
fly (noun) is "mucha". fly (verb) is "latać"
and it's not a pun
>>27019956
Which is my point - Beelzebub may be the Lord of the Flies, but the idea that fliers in Poland are called "Satans" based on that doesn't work because the Polish word for the insect doesn't sound anything like the Polish word for the action, so a pun based on that wouldn't make sense to a Polack.
>>27019882
>Applejack's face
She can see the adverts
Its making her uncomfortable
>>27019969
no anon. Beelzebub, lord of the flies as insects. he's even depicted as such. and since Beelzebub became equivalent to Satan (for catholics at least), elders call houseflies satans. there's no pun here
>>27019943
Presumably dead, i've only ever heard MLP eventually bombed over there
EQG has some popularity because it's the closest to animu shit involving cute girls as i understand
This happened last may, in my country
http://palermo.gds.it/2015/05/14/voleva-la-torta-di-little-pony-ma-si-ritrova-la-faccia-di-little-tony-delusione-per-una-bimba_355738/
Basically, somebody had ordered a custom MLP cake for the birthday of their 9 y.o. daughter. Only problem, the cake shop guy didn't understand correctly the request, and instead of making a custom "My Little Pony" cake, he made a "Little Tony" (=an italian Elvis clone from late 60s who apparently is still well known in the south) one.
Hasbro itself decided to intervene and sent a bunch of MLP related merch to the kid, as an apology.
>>27018520
Follow your dreams, Nipamerican.
>>27018495
I've got some that are pretty much common knowledge, but hey.
>Twilight is partially based on Lauren Faust's mother.
>Fluttershy is, in turn, partially based on Lauren herself.
>Shining Armor's color scheme is that of Twilight Twinkle, one of Twilight's earlier failed designs.
>Many songs in the show like, for instance, Art of the Dress are actually just heavily altered version of famous musicals. In this particular case, it's inspired by "Putting it Together".
>Trixie was originally supposed to be a stallion, but the show had been deemed by Hasbro to have too many male characters and so she ended up as a mare.
>Soarin is named after Soren Rogers, disabled son of Amy Keating Rogers.
>>27018644
Not OP, but I got a cool fact!
Did you also know that in the Turkish version of MLP Spike doesn't have a crush on Rarity?
they edited it to make it so Spike has noticed Rarity gained weight.
just think of the episode where spike and Rarity are falling.
"Rarity...I've always sort of thought you were fat."
>>27018735
Holy shit, they actually muted entire lines of Trixie. This is just embarrassing.

Any mention of cider in season 4 is cut out. BATS! is censored as hell and it's a mess to watch.

The great thing about this is that it makes it seem like she's actually swearing.
Here's a great fact 99% of the fandom doesn't know or doesn't care about.
All scripts and animatics are sent back for revisions to Mike Vogel which then edits them into a bad autistic cringey mess with boring stories and abysmally bad characterization, writing, gags.
He has been running the show since season 2 aired.
