Pinkiponi

You have to keep in mind that you're watching multicolored talking ponies. Obviously right off the bat, the "target' audience in Lauren's creation was girls about 3-12yrs old. But ever since the staff has become more aware of our presence, they've definitely tried to please us. All while trying to keep to their intended demographic. Obviously the female characters will be shown and interacted with the most because they want to live on Lauren Faust's original intension. Take Power Puff girls for example. (a previous creation of Faust) She was trying to show that just because you're a girl, it doesn't make you any less of a person. You don't have to be all dainty all the time if you don't wanna. Which is a good message for young girls in today's society. Again, they are trying to make dudes in their teens, twenties, even thirties happy while also pleasing little girls. It's not something easy to do. As the show has matured and progressed, the writers have thrown in Easter eggs and more male characters. Most likely because of our surprise appearance. There's been Cheese Sandwich, Discord, Trouble Shoes, Soarin, Double Diamond, Party Favor, King Sombra, Tirek, Fancy Pants, Shining Armor, Big Mac, Mr. Cake, Cranky Doodle, Trender Hoof, and several male background ponies and side ponies in episodes. Taken that a lot of them are not MANE characters. But they play a big enough role for the fandom to notice them and they're there. Which tbh is way better than it was in the early years. You were lucky to have 2 or more dude ponies in the background in a crowd of mares. In my opinion, I would appreciate it if there could be a bit more significance in spike. But I won't go into that or I'll be here all night.
