Description
Something I just noticed on rewatch: notice how the equals mark glows as Pinkie starts to celebrate. I’m guessing that these will work as inhibitors to stop them from expressing themselves too much.
(Unfortunately its hard to tell if the same effect is there for RD in the previous S5 teaser)

Communist Party!
That’s It! It’s the 1995 version! Thank you so very much! (
u)You are definitely thinking of one of the adaptions of “Harrison Bergeron”.

One person then finds out about the true purpose of the helmets and that they were imposed to reduce conflict by preventing envy and forcing people to be equal (which the hero points out isn’t actually what has been done, everyone was made the same which does not necessarily mean equal).
Then he takes over a broadcasting station and removes his helmet before showing clips from classic movies and programs. He’s later caught and is punished when he violates the conditions of receiving a lighter sentence by removing his helmet again on television, but this has lead to children and young adults taking the first steps towards freeing themselves
I’m thinking glow to make you conform. Here it will stop Pinkie in mid-celebration, the way this shot is set up.
“The football is turning into a fat, bald pony! And we know what we say when something like that happens, its good that Starlight Glimmer did that.”
If that’s the case, the townsponies’ smiles are probably hiding some good old-fashioned abject terror.
“It’s good that you tried to kill the princess and her friends, Miss Glimmer–a real good thing you did.”
Cementing more that the idea is taken from Harrison Bergeron: “The Handicapper General’s agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear “handicaps”: a mask if they are too beautiful, radio earphones with shrill noise to disrupt the thinking of intelligent people, and heavy weights to burden the strong or athletic.”
