If Hasbro ever decided to take a risk and make a pony series for males

We've got to remember what our target demographic is - males of a young age are not likely to take the show on board due to it being seen as a "girl's show" at first, among other reasons.

 

Basically, even if the male side took it as it was more suited to their gender, it is very likely we'll see another bullying train in regards to it.

Do people really care about the gender of the protagonist in this day in age?

 

Besides, I'm pretty sure Hasbro is aware of the large male following. They'd have to be on a Nickelodeon level of backwards-thinking to attempt "capitalizing" on a male demographic like that.

First of all....SHOULD they? (I mean, Bronies and all. And I could see it making them money, if they tried to branch out and offer something more than non-show-accurate toys for little girls, if they made a branch series to appease the older fanbase, product-wise) How do you think this series aimed towards boys would differ from MLP:FIM? Who would be the mane 6? Would they be stallions or colts?

(I could easily see the Mane 6 lineup being Snips, Snails, Rumble, Spike, Featherweight, Pipsqueak)

But surely the whole bront fandom is centered around the ponies being girls. I mean the odd male character is awesome don't get me wrong. I've even started a topic asking why there aren't more but I think it'd really lose it's appeal.
