Is an episode about a pony's struggle with addiction within the realm of possibility?

Addiction is a serious problem for many people—psychological dependence if not physical—and if a TV-Y show successfully handled an episode about dead parents, I believe they can handle an episode about addiction.

It could be a sugar addiction episode featuring Pinkie Pie, how she binges on sugar and then feels terrible afterward, and have a friendship lesson about enabling and doing what is best for the friend if they're hurting themselves, and most of all have feels about relapsing and the struggle with addiction.

I wasn't aware this thread has ever existed, but if many other anons have posted the same thing, that just shows more that we need an addiction episode.

Reading the episode synopsis. How do I not remember this episode? Maybe I was on benzos at the time. I'll have to watch it again if you say it is a metaphor for addiction.

It literally is, Rarara gets addicted to doing changes that are shit, until Spike tells her to drop her bullshit.
If that's not as simlar as they can get to "drop the weed, it is destroying youre life" idk what is.
>>
>>30434810
Well that was a new episode to me.

It's quite a stretch to compare it to a drug addiction, though. The most we could contrive would be a very flawed analogy to a single meth binge.

This episode just proves to me that Rainbow is a failure in everything and I finally got to see her eat dirt so I kinda like this episode.

It was the best they can do with such a limited range of tools. Remember the show is just tv-y.

There's an IDW issue about more or less what you described.

Are you the same kind of people that try and defend Dash's retarded behavior in Tanks For The Memories by "lol it was all a metaphor for your pet dying even though Tank is alive in future episodes but just IMAGINE that he died"
>>
>>30434586
>and if a TV-Y show successfully handled an episode about dead parents,
Also, they did not. They just strayed from talking about their deaths. It's implied but it's not the point.
>>
>>30436074
Yeah I am. Deal with it because it really was.
You saw how they didn't touch AJ's parents, and they would have been perfect in the last AJ episode.
So they never will touch dead directly in this show. Get over it already.
>inb4 you are alivefag

>>30436102
Of course they never will, but then there's no need to make up theories like this. This is TV Tropes levels of cringe, "it didn't really happen but if you IMAGINE it happened it gets super mature and tear jerker and nightmare fuel and all". Actuall no, not even TVT autists do that.

>>30434713
It was? I never noticed
I always thought that was about anxiety of being exiled from society.
You know, that of not telling her about the surprise party.

That was more of a "With Great power comes great responsibility" type of thing. That or the truth sets you free.

>>30436247
To be honest all I remember of that episode was her having a party with inamiate objects and assumed it was a party addiction episode.
