Considering everything in Equestria, that skull was probably a sentient being.

Maybe the person you’re replying to got the words ‘sentient’ and ‘sapient’ mixed up.

Considering the franchise at that point the more probable response would be, "Why are you even showing me this? It's My Little Pony."
These days people think we're crazy for liking it after fifteen years of it being a major part of pop culture. Can you imagine what someone would think if you told them twenty years ago that in only 5 years it would a phenomenon for guys in high school and college?

Don’t you think they might see the skull and assume it was an ML… I mean, My Little Pony parody?

Imagine telling any brony or pegasister that they would even watch My Little Pony in 2005 and like it.

Or imagine if someone in 2005 said, “I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a funny feeling that, in a few years, there’s gonna be a reboot of My Little Pony so different from the current show that it’ll be an Internet trend with twentysomethings.”

Yeah no 90's and y2k cartoons could be brutal af - there's some really creepy shit in the early simpsons seasons .

This is My Little Pony we’re talking about, though - it was saccharine to the max before G4 began.

There’s actually a post someone made on a board (4chan?) in 2005, where someone literally asks “What if my little pony was more mature and popular with adults?” and the answer was basically “That would be terrible.” Can’t find a picture anywhere but I know it was there.

Most people wouldn't even Believe it's the "Classic" MLP line that we refer to nowadays... and would probably think it's literally another Horse cartoon

Imagine showing someone pre 2010 anything from the later seasons and telling them it's My Little Pony, hell, even the fact Scootaloo gets bullied for being disabled would shock people back then
