You’re a furry because you like to dress up like a pony to have sex. And Equestria Girls has already aired on tv several times–it’s on again in the morning right before the season premiere.
All the guys are off fighting frontier wars against changelings or expanding Equestria’s borders or maintaining order in the colonies. It’s all about that Manifest Destiny.
I think the highest status male that wasn’t an a-hole (Blueblood, Sombra) or received his status from a superior female (Shining Armor) is Fancy Pants. Not sure if he’s a technical noble (Blueblood was supposed to be a duke but Hasbro said little girls don’t know what that is) or just a random cultured guy who’s high society. Everyone worshiped his opinion, he organizes a ton of events, and he has the arm candy.
The Wonderbolts have a token dude in Soarin, but Spitfire is the captain. Out of curiosity I checked the Wonderbolt Academy episode. Eight candidates: five females, three males. And of course the most physically gifted by a comical margin were RD and Dust.
There was Sheriff Silverstar, out in the middle of nowhere. Hoity Toity has a fashion empire. Some random shop keepers. The announcer guy in Cloudsdale. The only other males I can think of are non-ponies or antagonists, like Flim and Flam.
There is the long dead Starswirl. Being the Merlin of unicorns is pretty good. I’d be curious to see more of the mage culture in Equestria, but I guess they’d be afraid of being too Harry Potterish. In some fictional settings women are the strongest magic users. Wonder if that applies here, or if Sombra and Starswirl disprove that, or they were just vanishingly rare exceptions.
Why in the world are grown people so taken with MLP? Serious question. Sure, you get a pass if you have small children who are in the target market, but the idea of grown MLP fans is mystifying.
Other than the actual furries, that is, but they’re mystifying for reasons more disturbing than enjoying a cartoon about talking horses.
Not really. The show was deliberately designed to appeal to adults as well as little girls. It worked.
I didn’t know that. I thought it was designed for little girls and the anime-watching manchild faction just sort of glommed on.
I haven’t watched it since the start of the second season, but for me it was the fact that it was a genuinely fun show to watch. While I probably would have liked it more if it was about humans instead of ponies, it was good enough that I was happy to overlook that.
It was designed for little girls, no matter what some people would like to believe.
Both are correct, except I’d change “adults” to “all ages.”
Just look at the other girl shows on the Hub. Hardly anyone cares about them. Carebears? Strawberry Shortcake? Pound Puppies? lolno
I have a six year-old daughter so without being weird I can tell you that Equestria Girls is also available on Netflix.
If you don’t like cartoons or My Little Ponies don’t watch them. What I can’t understand is, why do you have to rain on my parade?
