Russian movie database Kinopoisk changed its rating for the animated series to an adult-only “18+” in December 2023, local news outlets reported, not long after a Russian court declared the “global LGBTQ+ movement” to be an extremist organization. Although no reason was given for the change, viewers speculated that the decision could be linked to the character Rainbow Dash, whose multicolored mane and tail are similar to the LGBTQ+ pride flag. The show also released an episode that featured a same-sex couple in 2019.

Imagine feeling threatened by a colorful animated horse.

Also, the spaceclop convention is likely to be canceled after this :(
