In the first episode of the first season at about 12:30 Rarity uses a French word, but I don't quite understand what word it is. Could someone tell?
If I watched the right part, the word is "coiffure". You can translate it to "hairdo".
She pronounces it in a very "French-like" manner, but that's probably the word. (Is it pronounced like that in French?)
She prononces it quite correctly. Except the fact that she makes the "u" longer than normal, but it's to make it more... mannered, or "typical" (stereotypical) french sounding ^^
Is it just me, or are the pony designs up to generation 3 really ugly, especially compared to the uber cute designs of generation 4? (IIRC so-called generation 3.5 ponies were much closer to G4.)

Maybe so, but IMO certainly not as much as G3 and earlier...
Btw, that was a really interesting watch (I have never actually seen any pre-G4 MLP show) and contrast to MLP:FiM. The dialogue and storytelling are really simplistic and clearly written with a "viewers are young children" mentality. It's not very interesting nor engaging.
(Also, those voices made my ears bleed. Using competent voice actors is a really important thing.)
G1 simply has the 'typical 80s cartoon look' in my eyes, and I can respect that. The ponies are not stylized to the degree of later gens and it uses a traditional black-outline style. G3 and G3.5 in contrast just give off the impression of cheap Flash (or comparable) cartoon.
Looks like no more than sensationalist finger-pointing to me. It's nothing new by this point and, as jlun said, nothing exclusive to 'bronies'. It wouldn't be worth any more attention, but I do find it unfair towards the people that did upload the pictures to be taken advantage of like that, as I don't think they agreed to it.
