It's not that I didn't like the idea of Spike being a dog, or the multi-colored skin. And yes, EG was the first MLP thing I watched, but.. I didn't really like it. This issue has been explained before. IT's that ALL OF THE GIRLS HAVE THE SAME BODY SHAPE. First of all, that's just really cheap and lazy animation. Second of all, it doesn't motivate a thing expressed in MLP: That a girl can be different. This bugs me because... Diversity. They all have seven-league boots, have skirts, and have ridiculously long hair. This my friends, is a basic stereotype for girls. It's... ACK!!! I can't stand that. It shows that all girls "should be" stick-thin and wears skirts. And it doesn't make sense for RD. She should have a boycut so her hair won't whip her in the face when she's playing sports. And she should be more muscular, considering the fact that she plays sports, like all the time. And she should have flipping TENNIS SHOES. She needs these to actually run, boots don't work for that! and she needs pants, NOT A SKIRT. And I think Pinkie should have tennis shoes. You know, because she's always bouncing around like crazy? And.... the boys are taller and much more muscular than the girls. and they get to wear pants. This offends me greatly. I don't play sports, so I'm not muscular, but other girls do, and trust me, they can be muscular!! And I rarely ever wear skirts. Mostly on special occasion. and sometimes even THEN I wear pants! And all the girls need a little meat on their bones. Seriously, these girls are THIN. All of them. It's so.. annoying.
PHEW. Good to get that off my chest. I bet lots agree with me.
