Endpol 27 April 27, 2012 Share April 27, 2012 I've been thinking of this a little, and I was wondering (just my curiosity) what you guys thought of females being the dominate gender in the series? I think (even if it is a girls show) that it's good that females are the dominate gender, because a lot of the time in shows, the main characters and dominate genders are male (at least most of the one's I've seen). 1 March 12, 2012 - The day I became a Brony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Rising 2,156 April 27, 2012 Share April 27, 2012 It doesn't bother me so much but I must admit I would like to see some more major male characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteshade 1,426 April 27, 2012 Share April 27, 2012 (edited) Shining Armor is the most major male character, and he was essentially a prisoner for 96% of the episode Next to Shining is Big Mac, who only has two lines generally unless he decides to have an epic moment So yes, males could be integrated more into the show Edit: I forgot Spike, oh no! But then again, everyone forgets Spike... Edited April 27, 2012 by Whiteshade 2 Warning: Signature may cause seizures, owner will sue you if you complain Nothing happens, yet everything changes.

But then again, everyone forgets Spike... Probably because he's not a pony! (I forgot about him also)Either way, yeah I agree with all of you, it's better with the female characters, but could be good with 1 or 2 male added in.

Endpol 27 April 27, 2012 Author Share April 27, 2012 (edited) Wow, you went into great detail for such a small thing. xD Though it surprised me also, with there being so many males (but seeing as a lot of them aren't main characters my opinion still stands). Where did you get all of this information? EDIT: Whoops! I read the small print at the top.

Little Miss Fluttershy 678 April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 I usually enjoy major male characters more because I can relate in some ways the stuff they go through, but for this show I love all of the major female roles.

Page Turner 607 April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 It's logical considering real world equines and it's never bothered me all that much apart from the first little while I watched it. (Back in season 1 where there were only like 10 males ever seen apart from the town of Appleloosa.) Then I made this graph, which sort of surprised me. (image removed for your convenience) There are fewer unicorns and more males than I thought. I have nothing to add. Do you want an awesome thread to visit?

Batbrony 16,056 April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 Doesn't bother me really, but it would be nice to see a couple more supporting male characters; but really, as long as the show is amazing, I don't care if there's 100x as many female pony characters as male pony characters.

There are fewer unicorns and more males than I thought. Erm this seems like you're only using numbers in ponyville. What about Pegasus only places like Cloudsdayle or Los Pegasus? Or unicorn dominated places like Canterlot? According to the characters themselves, Ponyvlle is actually pretty small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halcyonharlot 372 April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 It's KIIIIND of cool to see a show with well-developed and interesting female characters as the majority for once, but I would like more of a gender balance. It would be cool to maybe give Big Mac a couple episodes in the limelight. blood guts and chocolate cake http://madam-e.tumblr.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pencil J. Doodle 242 April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 I don't mind it at all, if i did i probably wouldn't be watching the show in the first place. But i'm a little surprised at how rare male unicorns are. I understand how common earth ponies are since they're the easiest to animate and are pretty much the dominant race when it comes to ponies. But unicorns? i always thought that Pegasus should be rarer; since they mostly live in the clouds and are slightly more difficult to animate What makes ME a good brony?!

poisonjoke 11 April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 most of the time i don't even pay attention to the gender of characters. I will occasionally 'forget' that a large number are female. For some reason it doesn't seem to stand out as odd there are so many girl characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion RD92 8,658 April 28, 2012 Share April 28, 2012 I actually really like the male characters in the show such as Big Mac and Shining Armor. However, there are male characters in the show that I just plain hate...like Snips and Snails http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png Overall, I don't mind that female characters dominate the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
