A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

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.

I have a message from another time...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)

basically, they seem to be going full on The Power of Rock for the next movie, and it looks awesome!

Reaction Image RepositoryMaybe this is just part of a tendency to assume everyone is like yourself?

@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.
