According to the New York Times:

One of the writers for the IDW MLP comics, Ted Anderson, has said some... interesting things on this topic. I read from one poster on the IDW forums that Anderson directly supported the attack, calling Charlie Hebdo bigots. I 'm sorry to say that I haven't checked this out myself (and the poster could be exaggerating), but here's Anderson's tumblr so you can check it out yourself: http://tedlyanderson.tumblr.com/

P.S. Tell me, are you aware of the drama surrounding Anderson that happened back in August?

It looked to me as if he didn't support the attacks -- but also didn't realize the threat they posed to us all. What did Anderson do in August?

Ultimately, IDW Editor Bobby Curnow found that Anderson did nothing wrong and handled the matter by prohibiting fan OCs.

Edit And God does it feel petty bringing this up attached to this topic, but I thought you should know.

It clearly hasn't occurred to some fans that MLP:FIM could be seen as offensive to Islam on several counts: (1) feminism,(2) polytheism, and (3) the Pegasus connection. I wonder if I should make an issue of this?

Re: Ted Anderson Drama mrbirthday January 9 2015, 03:05:17 UTC

Yes, I know. May I ask what brings this up specifically? Also, what is your opinion on what I posted above?

Re: Ted Anderson Drama jordan179 January 9 2015, 07:19:45 UTC

This was my point. It has obviously not occurred to Ted Anderson that the Islamists threaten his freedom of speech as well. Or maybe it has, and he's such a coward that he hopes that by pre-emptive surrender he will be spared.

Polytheism?

Only the fans attribute divinity to the sisters. Magic itself is probably a giant no-no however.

Polytheism?

Only the fans attribute divinity to the sisters.

Though the Sisters don't want to be treated as goddesses, they are very plainly entities of a sort that would have been seen as goddesses in pre-Muslim Arabia.

High level beings control the celestial bodies, there's a personification of chaos, those under their authority control natural phenomena (and sometimes abuse it if annoyed-- such as when Rainbow Dash makes it rain on "Gabby Gossip"), there's physical changes in them depending on their essence....

It's pretty classic polytheism in the nature spirit vein.
