My Pretty Pony is a pony figurine introduced by Hasbro in 1981 that was created by illustrator Bonnie Zacherle and sculptor Charles Muenchinger.{{cite web|url=http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/parents/through-the-years.cfm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121114085112/http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/parents/through-the-years.cfm|title=My Little Pony History|author=Hasbro|archive-date=November 14, 2012|date=2012|access-date=May 20, 2015}} My Pretty Pony is a ten-inch-tall hard plastic figurine that can wiggle its ears, swish its tail, and wink one eye. The original My Pretty Pony was followed by My Pretty Pony and Beautiful Baby, which came with an additional smaller "baby" pony figure. This was followed by pink and yellow versions of the original that have the now-hallmark symbol on the ponies' backsides, which preceded the My Little Pony figurines.{{cite web|url=http://yum-yum-ponyworld.weebly.com/my-pretty-pony.html|first=Patrick|last=Alkemade|date=2013|title=My Pretty Pony – 1981|access-date=May 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150520170802/http://yum-yum-ponyworld.weebly.com/my-pretty-pony.html|archive-date=May 20, 2015}}

After the relative lack of success of the My Pretty Pony toy line, Hasbro introduced six smaller and colorful versions of the toy in 1982, sold under the title My Little Pony. The toy line led to many more merchandise under the My Little Pony brand, which later became unofficially known as the "Generation One" or "G1" of My Little Pony among collectors. This incarnation ended in 1992 in the United States, but was marketed internationally until 1995. Animations from mid-1980s (My Little Pony animated special, My Little Pony: Escape from Catrina, My Little Pony: The Movie and My Little Pony segment within My Little Pony 'n Friends anthology series) and My Little Pony Tales from 1992 accompanied the line-up.

The 1997 incarnation was marketed by Hasbro as "Friendship Garden" and designated "Generation 2" by collectors. They were manufactured in redesigned poses with jewel eyes and turning heads and are smaller, slimmer, and longer-legged than their 1982 counterparts. The line was not successful in the U.S. and was discontinued in 1999, although it continued overseas for several years. Since the second generation was more popular in Western Europe, Hasbro continued to produce and sell them in Western Europe after 1998. Most were Earth Ponies, but a few unicorns were made internationally. Although no Pegasus Ponies were made, some adults had clip-on wings. In the early 2000s, several unicorns with clip-on wings (called the Magic Unicorns) were made. Two baby ponies were introduced, and none of the baby ponies were sold in the United States.

In Europe, the main location was renamed Ponyland instead of Friendship Gardens, and were discontinued with the inception of the "G3" toyline in 2003. Many ponies released in the last years of the line are considered rare. A number of playsets were introduced, including a mansion and a castle. Some of the licensed merchandise released in Europe included beanbag plushes, magazines, clothing, perfume, wrapping paper and coloring books. A CD-ROM game for PC, Friendship Gardens, was also released, which involved taking care of a pony and playing games along the way.

Some "Generation Two" ponies were sold as detachable key chains, including Morning Glory, Sundance, Light Heart and Ivy. Each pony comes with a comb attached to her neck by a string. The back of the package says, "My Little Pony Logo and Pony Names are Trademarks of Hasbro Inc. Copyright 1998." They were produced under license by Fun-4-All Corporation and made in China.

The third incarnation of My Little Pony, which is often unofficially referred to as "Generation Three" or "G3" by collectors, began in 2003. The revamped line of dolls was targeted to a younger audience than the previous lines.{{cite news|title=Hasbro Revamps My Little Pony to Draw Younger Girls|url=https://www.marketingweek.com/hasbro-revamps-my-little-pony-to-draw-younger-girls/|access-date=9 August 2014|work=Marketing Week|date=10 July 2003}} Before the generation's end in 2009, there were at least two minor revamps. A series of direct-to-video animated films (mostly produced by SD Entertainment) accompanied the line-up.

The next incarnation of My Little Pony, unofficially known as the "Generation Four", was launched in 2010. It is set in a fictional location named Equestria, and the main characters include Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy. Television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, theatrical film My Little Pony: The Movie, as well as other related media accompany the current line-up. This era generated a fandom among grown-ups with the success of the television series.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, the anthropomorphic spin-off, was launched in 2013.{{Cite news |last=Schmidt |first=Gregory |date=2013-05-13 |title=A New Direction for a Hasbro Stalwart |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/13/business/equestria-girls-a-my-little-pony-offshoot-in-its-movie-debut.html |access-date=2024-05-16 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}

Hasbro announced the start of the current "Generation Five" toy line in February 2021, with a 3D CG-animated film (produced by Entertainment One and animated by Boulder Media) and a follow-up television series. Unlike previous generation changes which have generally featured a completely new set of characters, Generation Five will build upon the world and stories established in Generation Four from Friendship Is Magic, but will include a time jump as to introduce new characters and themes. According to Hasbro's Emily Thompson, vice president of global brand management for Entertainment One, the new line is aimed at Generation Alpha, which "has a higher emotional intelligence, and they expect a lot more from their entertainment"; to that end, the themes of the show will be aimed around diversity and inclusion but will still include nods and Easter eggs to the prior generation.{{cite web | url = https://kidscreen.com/2021/01/29/my-little-pony-rides-high-with-new-cp/ | title = My Little Pony rides high with new CP | first = Elizabeth | last= Foster | date = January 29, 2021 | accessdate = February 26, 2021 | work = Kidscreen }}

The film and series takes place sometime after the end of Friendship Is Magic, where "friendship and harmony have been replaced by paranoia and mistrust" and the various pony species have segregated into their own tribes. The main characters of Generation Five includes Sunny Starscout (a female earth pony), Izzy Moonbow (a female unicorn) and Hitch Trailblazer, (a male earth pony),{{cite web | url = https://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony/videos/524944975150047/ | title = Introducing... | publisher = Hasbro | via =Facebook | date = February 26, 2021 | accessdate = February 26, 2021 }} alongside Pegasus siblings Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm.{{cite web | url = https://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony/videos/917830495715016/ | title = Ahead of National Siblings Day tomorrow, say hello to our royal Pegasi sisters, Pipp Petals & Zipp Storm!

My Little Pony is often derided for promoting consumerism. When the media adaptations of the franchise debuted, there was much controversy in the United States about television advertising targeted at children. Relaxed regulation in the 1980s on cross-referencing between programming and commercials led to toy-based shows, such as Mattel's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Hasbro's Transformers, G. I. Joe, and later My Little Pony 'n' Friends.{{citation|title=Ponyville Confidential: The History and Culture of My Little Pony, 1981–2016|author=Sherilyn Connelly|year=2017|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9781476662091}}{{rp|at={{tooltip|1:5–8|part 1, sections 5–8}}}} While He-Man initially drew the most controversy, My Little Pony remained controversial for many decades later, even when it was not being produced; the criticism is much more harsh and enduring than similar franchises with toy lines. Sherilyn Connelly cites examples from authors and journalists who single out My Little Pony for being tied to toys and merchandise, often putting it "first against the wall" while sparing such criticism from the aforementioned Hasbro franchises, or franchises such as Star Wars, Toy Story, and Lego.{{rp|at={{tooltip|2:5|part 2, section 5}}}} Connelly notes that professionals who work with children, for example psychologists and librarians, often have a positive view on the franchise; psychologist John Rosemond described My Little Pony toys as "great, soothing, quiet-time toys", having none of the violence or sexuality of other toy franchises. The first animated series is often given as the worst example of a Saturday-morning cartoon, despite never airing on Saturday mornings. Even though no My Little Pony adaptation was airing on television for much of the 1990s and no toys were being produced, it was still often brought up as a contemporary example of aggressive marketing through television.{{rp|at={{tooltip|1:3,5,8|part 1, sections 3, 5, 8}}}}

Connelly contends that My Little Pony is singled out not because the franchise's business methods or content standards are particularly different from other franchises', but because it is overtly girly. Replying to criticism that My Little Pony is "junk" while Star Wars stems from "integrity and creative vision", cartoonist Craig McCracken noted that both franchises can have integrity or be junk, depending on how they're produced. Character designer Chris Battle pointed out that the media adaptation of My Little Pony is seen as less valid because it is aimed at girls.{{rp|at={{tooltip|2:5|part 2, section 5}}}} Director Lauren Faust, who was creative developer of the relaunch of the My Little Pony franchise in 2010, wrote that she expected people who have not even watched the animated series "to instantly label it girly, stupid, cheap, for babies or an evil corporate commercial." Faust feels that the show's femininity makes it a target of derision, regardless of its other qualities.{{rp|at={{tooltip|4:3|part 4, section 3}}}} Ellen Seiter, professor of media studies, observed that girl's television shows are a ghettoization of girl culture, and the attacks on these shows is often aimed at their femininity.{{rp|at={{tooltip|1:1|part 1, section 1}}}} My Little Pony has been perceived as an icon of femininity and "girlie-girls", particularly in the United Kingdom. The franchise has alternately been described as asexual and too sexual by the UK media.{{rp|at={{tooltip|1:8|part 1, section 8}}}}

{{Main article|Clop (erotic fan art)}}

The aforementioned fandom is known for its numerous pornographic and erotic fan works, collectively termed as clop.

It includes art, fan fiction, and games. The term clop, based on the onomatopoeic hoofbeat sound, also means masturbation in this context. Clop content emerged on the web around 2012 and typically focuses more on character romance. A study suggests about 19% of these fans, have engaged in "clopping". Critics view it as a problematic aspect of the fandom, fearing it might taint the fandom's reputation.
