A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

@lum: Yeah, but even so, the fact that they default to M/F shows that heterosexuality is presumably more common. Either that or they assume that M/F relationships are romantic, while any time they see two mares together they assume it's just friends (because that's their own experience with it).

EDIT: And ninja'd.

@CDRW What I mean is, they might not even know preferences other than hetero even exist, which I guess does work for the argument that those are far less common.

Yep, canon does not support my headcanon.

But of course, that's never been an obstacle to a good headcanon. tongue

Okay, on the idea of a society where sexuality is almost entirely bi, and how such a society could possibly continue past one generation, I feel the need to mention that the reason that works for Trolls in Homestuck is because they have very little difference between the sexes, physically. Hell, their form of reproduction doesn't even involve sex as we know it, and both sexes contribute the exact same form of genetic material, to be processed by a third party.

I actually honestly haven't a clue what the difference between male and female Trolls actually is, beyond secondary characteristics, like body shape or facial structure. Trolls look superficially human, but there's a lot of difference under the hood.

Troll sexuality sure is weird.

And now I'm wondering how trolls would react to this.

(for those who don't get it, in Homestuck the troll reproductive cycle involves buckets, and as a result, they basically treat buckets the same way we'd treat sex toys)

What was the bit about the equestria Girls clip getting everyone slightly excited about?

well the title is Rainbow Rocks, so it's a fair bet it's a literal description.

Hi! Yeah still hanging around half way through season one. I'm really loving the show though, so it's not a chore. grin

@Cal: That's cool, but probably not what you meant to link.

@Danny: How far along are you now?

So, I gather that the ending of EQG made the human world magical? It'd be kind of interesting if they leverged that into sort of a magical girl setup, with Twilight as the out-of-universe mentor figure. Their Zordon, if you will.

@ Japanese Teeth

This Winter Round Up episode. And this magical girl thing. Is that the spin off with them as humans?

Wait up. There's no Magical Girl thing. That was just an idea I mentioned.

But I believe that everyone is bisexual.

Maybe this is just part of a tendency to assume everyone is like yourself?
