Yes...and? I fail to see the issue here.
No, it means we don't have actual magical trinkets. I'm sure people back then would have been annoyed at cartoon ponies too (at least some of them). But if ponies actually existed and were trading unique and powerful items with the rest of the world, I'm pretty sure that nobody would want to be left out of that, so they'd get involved in some way even if they didn't really like the ponies. Therefore a doctrine like "the entire race and everything they make are creatures of evil!" wouldn't last long in the face of its members missing out on the cool magical doodads.Does that mean the average internate hater / youtube troll is less mature than humanity in the 1400s? Or did I not understand and make a bit of a jump?
