Huh, it has been quite a long time since anyone posted an image containing ponies outside an MLP gallery and in a very popular one (top gallery, no less). Perfect opportunity to test if people have matured and gotten over pointless hate after 6 years passed and now that MLP images are rather scarce here.

10 hours in, first hundred views, image is trending; no downvotes or rants. Things are looking fine so far. Observation intensifies.
