I odnt think she will be “refomred”, more like they are trying to make her personality as some levelheaded city pony who probablyy doesn’t believe in frinedship in the beginning or something. I don’t know really if they even trying to keep that “friendship” shtick in G5 or make any sort of messages.

Some people at Hasbro apparently find AJ “too hick” and want to change her personality to that of a bad girl turned good, along with wanting her to be voiced by a black voice actress.

Showing how much she’s willing to inconvenience herself for the sake of a friend in Dragonshy by volunteering to take her around the mountain. Applejack’s tendency to save others at great personal risk also began in Dragonshy when she saved Twilight during the avalanche. And by showing how well she works in adventure stories, particularly as a source of support for Twilight in ACW and PTS.
 
Also, McCarthy wrote the first episode of her actually being a good sister to Apple Bloom.

Honestly, I’m guessing the new mane six are going to be more different than they seem. I’ll be pretty surprised if they’re not.
 
However, I can’t quite wrap my head around the McCarthy “hick” thing. For someone who did so much for Applejack’s character, I can’t quite believe that she supposedly thinks so low of her.

I have to sympathize with the fans of AJ. Seemingly, everyone in the Mane6 gets to keep the traits from the last generation but she doesn’t and then Meghan McCarthy refers to her as a “hick” despite being far from that kind of lifestyle.
 
Even though it’s too early see where things are going, I do hope there can be a compromise for her character. I do wish we didn’t get the leaked G5 info so we can just focus on the current generation we have.

I hope they can use diversity and other liberal ideas without turning it to SJW preaching. Look at Zoootopia for example, it wasn’t banned anywhere and it actually became very popular in Russia and China. Yet the movie was still about racial issues, gender politic and also had gay couple in it. If the writers can create interesting setting and make us care about characters, then they can actually tell the liberal message they want to tell through these characters rather than let the characters preach their messages as mouthpiece like for example Rose in Star Wars talking about corruption and animal slavery completely out of place.

I just say that diversity and LGBTQ theme will now become more visible in G5 and we should learn to accept it.
 
They still will have to tread carefully on these especially on the international market.  
Large swathes of the globe still do not share the same attitudes towards these “progressive” themes. I’m just saying.  
I can totally see lucrative Pony markets like Russia, Turkey, Indonesia, China, Korea, etc banning Ponies at some point over this.

I thought we’re past stereotypes and stuff. I guess not.  
They always tell people not to stereotype Native Americans, African Americans, and Asian etc.  
Yet they seem to have no problem using stereotypes to characterize white people as “racists”, especially southerners.

I just wanted to take advantage of this slight lifting of my depression to apologize, particularly to you two but also to almost everyone in these comments, for how I’ve been acting. Seeing one of the two ponies I closely related to being stripped of exactly why I related to her because the people in charge of G5 feel that’s what’s broken about her cut deep, especially at a time when I’m feeling devalued and isolated for other reasons; but then to see apparently most bronies not only welcoming the change but mocking those upset by it… to be honest, I wanted to lash out several more times than what I already have, and much more viciously, towards myself and others.
 
So yeah, sorry for being a jerk; I fully agree that most of the new AJ designs look really good, and think she’ll still be a good character and an asset to the franchise, however she’s changed. Regardless of my own feelings, I do hope G5 turns out well and that y’all enjoy it.

Honestly there may be a reason for thd shift to G5. VA fatigue. Some of the Mane 6 voice actors may want to move on to other pursuits.

I dont care either and thus i don’t really care about them changing her voice actress. To be honest i might actually care more about AJ if she develop more as an urban pony. She might actually shine as the new Mainest protagonist rather than Twilight.
