I wouldn’t call that a counterpoint. That’s just the sad facts of the kind of mentality we’re dealing with. To them, words like “inclusion” have them bing bonging all the way to their ivermectin dealer.

Counterpoint: Those channels rarely concern themselves with things such as “facts” or “actually reading/watching the material they are complaining about” when those things get in the way of getting their audiences outraged, thus driving more clicks.
SJWs are all too frequently completely about negativity. The “warrior” part is about battling and bringing people down, and the “justice” part usually takes the form of needing to “bring to justice” the people they see as wrongdoers, i.e. punishing people.
Sunny’s message of “we can be friends” and “we don’t have anything to fear” is full on positivity.

I know, right? Still, I’m willing to accept that premise on the basis that it makes her less like Twilight as she’s willing to go against the grain and stand up for what she believes in; instead of “well Princess Celestia said…”
Good rule of thumb. If you think colorful talking ponies are calling out you in particular as a racist, it’s not the ponies you’re hearing. It’s your conscience.

I can see this, you’re right
I’m not so worried.

Pretty much like Izzy, i pray she’ll develop to become HER own character instead of a copy of Pinkie Pie too

Oh God, oh NO…
Yep.
