Where Foals Actually Come From

[Grepper 3,193]

Frankly, @@WriteCodes46, it's becoming hard to believe you aren't trolling. I looked it up myself; It's a real quote.

 

EDIT: I did a reverse image search on the screenshot. It's from Equestria Daily.

"*fyre-flye" is Lauren Faust's Deviant Art account name. That's about as legitimate as you can get...

If it was a fake account it would have been found out a long time ago, it has been and still is Lauren Fausts official deviantart account. Why would Hasbro fire her for that? Twilight Sparkles voice actor Tara Strong has made multiple jokes and statements supporting cloppers and clopping and though Hasbro told her to tone that down she did not get fired for that so why would Lauren Faust get fired for a statement that was nowhere near as suggestive as Tara Strongs clopping jokes?

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,307]

I don't think this topic really has near as much to do with canon and reproduction in Equestria as it has to do with your attitude towards sex.  Specifically, your attitude towards ponies having sex.  Because you implied in your initial post that the human residents of the EQG universe might still reproduce in more traditional ways.  Which suggests you've qualms with quadrupeds getting it on.  Talking, intelligent, sexually mature quadrupeds that marry and collect newborn foals from hospitals.  You've decided that sexual reproduction is something "inappropriate."  While it's actually, you know...  Perfectly natural.  Impregnation-by-rainbow is an unnatural and nonsensical method of reproduction rightfully confined to the past gen; no canon support for it exists in FIM.  You're deliberately ignoring evidence to the contrary while simultaneously providing no reliable evidence of your own.

 

Sexual reproduction in Equestria will not severely and permanently sully the minds of impressionable young viewers; there won't be any canon sex scenes.  It doesn't shatter some arbitrary concept of innocence in a world where giant, power hungry centaurs have DBZ energy battles with princesses and shape-shifting queens devour kittens.

I'm actually surprised that Tara wasn't fired for posting that. And what Lauren said is beyond suggestive; she directly stated that horses fucking is canon, she confirmed that clop, even in it's mildest form, is canon. Don't you see a problem with that? If I was a parent, I would be seriously reconsidering letting my kids watch Friendship is Magic, and I may send a complaint letter to Hasbro. In fact, I think I'm going to do that, I'm going to look up their customer service email...

[Megas 28,368]

Are we seriously debating whether or not natural conception is inappropriate for a children's cartoon when plenty of children's cartoons, maybe even a few preschool shows, have done so in the past with ease? Why should natural reproduction be bad?

[Singe 2,111]

Considering that the diverse magic in FIM is very powerful like aging spells, time travel, shape-shifting to another species, gender changing, and etc.

 

I'm just going to say magical means to make a foal could be possible.

Does that also mean that we should hide real-life horses from kids because horses reproduce sexually? Also, if ponies having sex (not a depiction of a specific act, just acknowledging that it happens) is clop, then is all sexual reproduction porn?

Why? Nobody questions that human characters in "kids shows" do the deed yet there is a question for ponies? If Lauren Faust is guilty of anything it was stating the obvious. Ponies are mammals and mammals fuck.

No, because I am not an obsessive prude like you and they will never in a million years ever have clop in the show. You could use that same ridiculous argument to a "kids show" with predominantly human characters as well.

"Dear Hasbro,

 

Today I learned that Lauren Faust confirmed the obvious by stating that ponies do the deed on some statement on her deviantart page a million years ago which automatically means that she and you guys at Hasbro have endorsed clop. I demand you make an episode similar to the G3 abomination so that I can impose my own ridiculous hang ups on unsuspecting kids."

So the barest implication that maybe at some point a pony's parents had sex for the purpose of procreation is too much for a child to handle?

 

It would never even occur to them, for christ's sake. Are we so uncomfortable with the biological functions that we all have that we cannot bear that they even be tangentially acknowledged? Parents let their children watch all manner of violent shows where characters get bloodied and beaten, and yet show so much as the slightest hint of sexuality and its all 'WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN". Before you know it, the ponies are going to start wearing clothes at all time because clearly MLP is just way too sexy.

 

I don't mean you give you specifically a hard time, guy, but this is beyond ridiculous. It's not just MLP. People are so weird about sex, as if being exposed to it at an early age is going to ruin a child's life.  

 

 

P.S.

Using G3 as canon: why

Edited May 16, 2015 by Banul

[WriteCodes46 178]

Because you implied in your initial post that the human residents of the EQG universe might still reproduce in more traditional ways. Which suggests you've qualms with quadrupeds getting it on. Talking, intelligent, sexually mature quadrupeds that marry and collect newborn foals from hospitals.

I said that because I'd find it pretty weird if EG humans were also born from rainbows, although I wouldn't necessarily oppose to it. And I do have a problem with anthropomorphized horses canonically having sex, because that borders on zoophilia and bestiality.

 

Does that also mean that we should hide real-life horses from kids because horses reproduce sexually? Also, if ponies having sex (not a depiction of a specific act, just acknowledging that it happens) is clop, then is all sexual reproduction porn?

I'm detecting a case of Reductio ad Absurdum. The thing is that MLP ponies shouldn't reproduce sexually. And we probably should hide pictures of horses mating from kids. Also, the problem is that it validates clop. Clop/porn is when you record or depict the act. The problem here is the implication that the act itself exists.

But there's no reason for ponies to fuck. She could've as easily said that they do reproduce by budding or rainbows.

 

Sexual depictions in the show are the least of my concerns. The difference here is that cartoons with humans imply that they reproduce the same as real humans, which to a kid may very well be the stork story, or whatever his parents judged was best to tell him. But here you have Lauren stating how exactly ponies reproduce. Imagine a kid decides to search for things about MLP on the internet and comes across Lauren's comment, he may then search for mammalian reproduction on Wikipedia and be psychologically scarred. Or, he may have already had sex explained to him, but to find that the ponies from the cartoon he watches canonically do it may be too upsetting for him.

 

I was actually writing a letter to Hasbro structured like that, without your snarky inserts of course. BTW their address is customersupport@hasbro.com, it's a bit difficult to find on their website.

See my above response. And I do find the way pony rumps are often rendered to be somewhat objectionable, though that's besides the point (although with this new development it may actually be relevant, and even more objectionable).

 

And improper exposure at an early age can have lasting psychological effects. I know at least 2 people who find sex repulsive and almost have a phobia of it, due to having it presented to them (by their parents nonetheless) at an early age.

They're the same species. xD  Do you consider it bestiality when a male cat has sex with a female cat?  Are you opposed to cats having sex with one another?  And your having a problem with it doesn't change whether or not the ponies reproduce sexually.

[The Awesome One 1,316]

You should not read too much into that. They clearly reproduce sexually as they are horses but I'm guessng the pregnancy duration is shorter for our cartoon ponies. I'd put it at somewhere around six months.

[Banul 3,831]

 

And improper exposure at an early age can have lasting negative psychological effects. I know at least 2 people who find sex repulsive and almost have a phobia of it, due to having it presented to them (by their parents nonetheless) at an early age.

 

 

If those people were actually scarred, it was probably the manner in which they were introduced to sex. 

 

I've told this story before, but I think its relevant. When I was a kid, I was trying to get to my dad's email account, @hotmail. Being legendarily bad at spelling, I spelled it "hotmale", which took me to a gay porn site. Do you know how this even impacted my mental health? It didn't. I questioned why men (I'm going to say "doing things with their mouths" to keep it work safe) because I didn't know what I was looking at. I didn't much care either, because I had video games to go play. My point is, while my experience is not everyone's experience, I think that the impact of kids seeing sexual content is drastically overstated. I accidentally saw graphic gay porn and I didn't even care.

 

Obviously I can't make assumptions about you're friends without knowing their situation, but I find it extremely doubtful that the mere knowledge of sex would damage their psych. Something like walking in our their parents? Maybe. Witnessing (or being the victim of) sexual abuse? Likely. Knowing that people sometimes touch each other's naughty bits? Doubtful. 

 

 

.But there's no reason for ponies to fuck. She could've as easily said that they do reproduce by budding or rainbows.

 

 

There's no reason for them to spring from fucking rainbows either. Frankly, I wouldn't worry about it. It's never been brought up in MLP where babies come from, and it probably never will be. If you're worried that a child is going to find that comment from Faust in some corner of deviantart well, you already know my opinion on what the would do to a child.

This bugs me, clop doesn't need to be validated. This isn't the thread for that though, so if you want to argue that then go to the clop thread.

The problem is anthropomorphized horses having sex, which is equivalent to human sexual intercourse, but with horses. That's rather zoophilic to say the least. Actual horse mating is far different from that.

Their parents tried to have "the talk" with them while they were too young.

But if it's...  Equivalent to human sexual intercourse...  Shouldn't you then be opposed to human sexual reproduction? xD  Horse on horse is OK by you.  Human on human is presumably OK by you.  But you have a problem with intelligent, sentient, speech-capable equines procreating in a completely natural manner?

I am not opposed to human sexual intercourse. I am opposed to human sexual intercourse depicted with horses. (I am also not opposed to horses mating naturally, unless someone posts a video of it for erotic purposes.)

 

And Wikipedia is an unreliable source. Per that definition, ponies having sex with anything except humans, but including neanderthals, would not be considered bestiality. Here we are being a bit flexible with the definition of the word to fit the context.

Its not "human sexual intercourse", because the way we have sex is the way every other mammal has sex. I don't think I should have to give a "birds and the bees" talk to someone who is obviously older than 11. Honestly if you're offended you should just leave. This show doesn't go over how babies are made at all, it basically never talks about it. The way foals are made is just something people know how it would happen because we know how babies are made, and these are mammals. No one is talking about horses having sex in a human way.

 

You need to try doing these things, because you're obviously offended.

1: Leave.

2: Calm down.

3: Stay out

 

Once you've done those this will settle down and you're ignorance will be most likely joked about later.
