* In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E25SchoolRazePart1 School]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E26SchoolRazePart2 Raze]], [[spoiler:[[BitchInSheepsClothing Cozy]] [[TheSociopath Glow]]]] crosses it when she imprisons the Main Six in Tartarus, takes over the School of Friendship, and attempts to take over Equestria. If that wasn't enough, then the way she does it certainly counts; [[spoiler:she has all of Equestria's magic stolen so she can send it to another dimension, takes out a de-powered Starlight Glimmer so she's unable to stop her, does the same to [[RedHerring Chancellor Neighsay]] while giving him a massive TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, and when the Student Six try to stop the act, she turns the entire school on them and shows no concern for any of them when they get caught with Starlight and almost sent to the same dimension. Her actions were so horrific that she ended up in Tartarus with Tirek as punishment.]]

** Interestingly inverted with Discord. In "The Return of Harmony", he almost crossed it by mind raping the main cast. A few seasons later, after [[spoiler:mostly]] promising to use his reality-bending powers for good, you'd think betraying all of Equestria to Tirek, including Fluttershy, would count as this, but due to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone his recurring remorse]] and reaction to Tirek betraying him, he officially redeems himself.

A few seasons later, after taking a level in kindness, you'd think betraying all of Equestria to Tirek, including Fluttershy, would count as this, but due to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone his recurring remorse]] and reaction to Tirek betraying him not only make him sympathetic, but solidify his HeelFaceTurn.

* In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E25SchoolRazePart1 School]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E26SchoolRazePart2 Raze]], [[spoiler:[[BitchInSheepsClothing Cozy]] [[TheSociopath Glow]]]] crosses it ''big time'' when she imprisons the Main Six in Tartarus, takes over the School of Friendship, and attempts to take over Equestria. If that wasn't enough, then the way she does it certainly counts; [[spoiler:she has all of Equestria's magic stolen so she can send it to another dimension, takes out a de-powered Starlight Glimmer so she's unable to stop her, does the same to [[RedHerring Chancellor Neighsay]] while giving him a massive TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, and when the Student Six try to stop the act, she turns the entire school on them and shows no concern for any of them when they get caught with Starlight and almost sent to the same dimension.

* The griffin guide in "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone" crosses it by abandoning an injured Rainbow Dash in a abyss just because Rainbow didn't have enough bits.

* In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 A Canter]][[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 lot Wedding]], [[spoiler:Imposter-Cadance/[[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Chrysalis]]]] crossed this by [[spoiler:leaving Twilight trapped in the mines under Canterlot which were long forgotten so ''nopony would ever find her''. Then ''taunting her with that fact'', [[KickTheDog just to rub it in]]. And then it's revealed she did the exact same thing with the ''real'' Cadence, who is in rough shape by the time Twilight finds her. All this after letting an already-broken and regretful Twilight think [[HopeSpot all is forgiven]]. If not then, she crosses it in ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E25ToWhereAndBackAgainPart1 To Where]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E26ToWhereAndBackAgainPart2 and Back Again]]'' where she attempted to drain all of the love from Thorax for his betrayal just to further stroke her delusional leadership.]]

* In ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Twilight's Kingdom Part 2]]'', if [[{{Satan}} Lord Tirek]] hadn't crossed this already, he certainly did when he had Discord imprison Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and Spike so he can drain their magic, then betrayed Discord ''and'' drained him of his magic. Even earlier than that, he banishes Celestia, Luna, and Cadance to Tartarus, even though they have no magic and are powerless to do anything against him.

* In the Season 8 finale, [[spoiler:[[BitchInSheepsClothing Cozy]] [[TheSociopath Glow]]]] crosses it ''big time'' when she imprisons the Main Six in Tartarus, takes over the School of Friendship, and attempts to take over Equestria. If that wasn't enough, then the way she does it certainly counts; [[spoiler:she has all of Equestria's magic stolen so she can send it to another dimension, takes out a de-powered Starlight Glimmer so she's unable to stop her, does the same to [[RedHerring Chancellor Neighsay]] while giving him a massive TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, and when the Student Six try to stop the act, she turns the entire school on them and shows no concern for any of them when they get caught with Starlight and almost sent to the same dimension.

* [[spoiler:An unintentional example occurs to Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Discord in the series finale: When deciding on the punishment of the Legion of Doom, Discord suggests to the princesses to turn them into stone, including Cozy Glow (who, although evil, [[WouldHurtAChild is a child]]).]]

* In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E6TheCutiePox The Cutie Pox]], Pinkie said she'd eaten two corn cakes when she'd actually eaten six.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'', The Storm King might be silly, but he's responsible for a ''lot'' of suffering. However, the point where he crosses this line is either his [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil enslavement of Canterlot's population]] (which is treated dead seriously) or [[spoiler:stabbing Tempest in the back and attempting to outright murder her in cold blood when she asks for him to fix her horn to fulfil his end of the deal.]] He may have crossed this right before the latter by [[spoiler:creating a massive tornado that threatened the lives of not only his uprising opponents and newly aquired slaves, but HIS OWN ARMY AS WELL!]]

* In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E21DragonQuest Dragon Quest]], the [[TeensAreMonsters adolescent dragons]], who are initially portrayed merely as obnoxious [[JerkAss Jerkasses]], bring Spike along on a "raid" that involves [[AdultFear stealing phoenix eggs away from their parents]] and [[WouldHurtAChild smashing them]], simply because [[ItAmusedMe they think it's fun]]. They don't change their minds when the newborn babies hatch, either.

* Twilight dances atrociously in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E9SweetAndElite Sweet and Elite]].

* [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E1TheCrystalEmpirePart1 The Crys]][[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E2TheCrystalEmpirePart2 tal Empire]] does this to [[SorcerousOverlord King Sombra]] immediately upon his introduction, in which it is revealed that he used BlackMagic to turn the Crystal Empire into {{Mordor}} and [[SugarApocalypse enslave the crystal ponies who lived there]]. Worse still, he's given no excuse for his crimes - [[FallenAngel Nightmare Moon]] [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds had a tragic backstory]], and though it doesn't remotely excuse their actions, Discord and Chrysalis were at least motivated by some component of their natures. Sombra, though, was just a regular unicorn who decided to seize power for himself even if it meant ruining the lives of everyone around him. Appropriately, the episode presents him more as a monstrous force of evil than as an actual character.

For a cute, saccharine show, ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has a lot of villains that [[MoralEventHorizon cross the line]], proving that even though Equestria is all about [[EasilyForgiven instant forgiveness]] there are some things that are still considered unforgivable.
