Not only do some non-Ponies live and work in Equestria and are accepted, the idea [[CommonKnowledge/WesternAnimation that all Ponies are (coded) white or share a single culture is a misconception]].

** And while she does have a point, this is also clearly meant to be a characterizing moment for Angelica's mother as well, usually being portrayed as a ruthless HighPoweredCareerWoman (so much so that she is the page image for that trope, with the aforementioned line as the page quote). It is often implied that her mother's influence is part of the reason for Angelica's treatment of the other kids. Ambition and self-esteem are great, but clearly the message is that too much of them without empathy or humility can be a recipe for creating a bully.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'' episode "Mutant Liberation Begins", the BigBad of the episode, X-Cutioner, pummels Cyclops while [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech ranting at him]] about why he hates mutants, claiming that humanity has it harder and that mutants are always "whining" about their situation and that at least humanity don't whine. The scene is definitely meant to show that X-Cutioner is a {{hypocrite}}, that ''he'' is whining about humanity's supposed plight to a helpless mutant who hasn't even tried to refute his problem because ''he's trying not to pulverize him and everyone around them'' with his EyeBeams. Thus, it wasn't a surprise to some fans when others ''agreed'' with the X-Cutioner, claiming that they do have it better because ''the X-Men live in a mansion'', suggesting that, because the X-Men have it good, all mutants do.

Misuse, because the PPG episode in question was never meant to mock fanfics;

** An episode called "The City of Clipsville" had one segment which was a TakeThat to ''PPG'' {{fanfiction}} cliches Craig [=McCracken=] hated, including Powerpuff Girls/Rowdyruff Boys shipper fics. The fake {{Flashback}} showed the characters as dumb airheaded teenagers. Fandom embraced that scene and even made fanart of it.

** {{Conspiracy Theorist}}s (of various political alignments, religious faiths and marijuana usage) often see some episodes of ''The Simpsons'' as prophetic, and claim that they predicted various events, either a warning from or a part of a conspiracy that is accused of causing the event. This has started with the election of UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump as president of the USA, that the Simpsons predicted years before in "Bart to the Future" (The {{Conspiracy Theorist}}s may have various stances on Trump himself, and it isn't his fault). Other examples include the 9/11 attacks (in "Homer vs the City of New York", the bus trip costs 9$11 and the World Trade Center is featured) or the 2019/20 SARS-Covid pandemic (various episodes about fictional diseases such as the Osaka Flu from east Asia, the cat flu that was caused by the media ({{Conspiracy Theorist}}s love that) and a Ship stuck at sea in fear of the Pandora Strain). Amusingly, many of the conspiracy theories blame the Freemasons (which they believe to be behind the Simpsons), who there parodied in ''Homer the Great''. Most of these "prophecies" can be explained by the large number of plots and episodes, which guarantees at least some of them are bound to resemble future events, and that history repeats itself and the Simpsons was actually making fun of older events ([[OlderThanTheyThink Trump wanted to become president in the 90s]]). If you search long enough on Youtube you will find the craziest conspiracy theories based on the Simpsons.
