Then this show comes along, and the characters exhibit emotions besides glee and joy on a frequent basis, and the world takes on ever-so-slightly dark and edgy undertones. For any other franchise universe, this alone wouldn't be enough to draw attention, but we're talking My Little Pony here. Suddenly, the universe is infinitely more fleshed out than it was previously, and this contrast between then and now creates an illusion in people's minds that this show is somehow a Sugar Apocalypse of epic proportions.

Not really accurate at all. You're free to not like the show or not check it out or whatever, but I think you have better uses of your time than value judgments without any proper basis and analyzing a show with no real knowledge of said show. It's just a tad silly and unnecessary.
