Tilgoreth 1,915 December 28, 2016 Author Share December 28, 2016 Yeah, Aurora Glimmer was her original name, but they couldn't use it because of copyright issues.I looked it up that's the name of the princesses from Sleeping Beauty. Though I prefer Starlight anyways. I think it fits better with the types of names that exist in MLP. I say that because I can't think of a character that has a real name. Maybe coloratura. I mean that's not really a name. But maybe some opera singers might name there daughter that in real life. Signature made by Kyoshi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen The Unicorn 484 December 28, 2016 Share December 28, 2016 (edited) This threads getting a bit out of hand I think that Sexuality is a theme that MLP as a children's show, isn't going to be brought up. Other Shows Such as the legend of Cora, have a Higher TV rating, and an older target audience, and therefore have themes that are more appropriate. Although Same Sex relationships might be alluded too, or just "occur" without any pointing out. It's not something that a children's show with. the target audience of young children would be addressing directly. As with the allegations of Homophobia, I'm sure that the writers of MLP and the users on the forum are thinking with the show in mind and not trying to be homophobic Edited December 28, 2016 by Frozen The Unicorn 1 "Don't hide behind the shadows of others come out and forge your own destiny."

Mortar 143 December 28, 2016 Share December 28, 2016 Not necessarily the mane six. But just background ponies also. I know they teased it with Lyra and Bonbon in Slice Of Life but I'm talking about official lesbians. If they're background characters, would it even matter? Also, I wouldn't say there was a "tease". They said outright they were "best friends". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I wouldn't say there was a "tease". They said outright they were "best friends".Its called sub text. Granted that only something you'd observe if your a teenager or an adult.Maybe they're friends with benefits? Since Slice Of Life Lyra and Bonbon have always been a bit to touchy. They locked arms with each other while playing the piano in Rainbow Rocks. 1 Signature made by Kyoshi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilgoreth 1,915 December 28, 2016 Author Share December 28, 2016 Look at Steven Universe fandom, Lesbian made people insane , heck, stupid gimmick. I've only started watching that show. So not sure what this means. Regardless I do think you can handle it in a way so it's still appropriate for kids. Signature made by Kyoshi.

The_Gobo 36,257 December 30, 2016 Share December 30, 2016 The closest I personally hope they ever get to that is the obvious Lyra and Bonbon in conjunction with Queen's "You're My Best Friend" song.I sincerely doubt they would ever come out and say it blatantly in canon, cause if they did a fair number of people would be peeved.Enough so that it would hurt toy sales, which glorious-leader Hasbro would never allow. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggg-2 3,553 January 7, 2017 Share January 7, 2017 Not only is adding homosexual characters a rough patch by a controversy standpoint, it's also not a very good idea business wise, because it runs the risk of getting their product heavily censored or outright banned in certain countries, because currently in a total of 73 countries, homosexuality is outright ILLEGAL. 1 Don't be a nerd.

But there are kids shows that do. The closest I personally hope they ever get to that is the obvious Lyra and Bonbon in conjunction with Queen's "You're My Best Friend" song.

So if it came between lesbians and a profit they'd choose to make a profit.Not only is adding homosexual characters a rough patch by a controversy standpoint, it's also not a very good idea business wise, because it runs the risk of getting their product heavily censored or outright banned in certain countries, because currently in a total of 73 countries, homosexuality is outright ILLEGAL.Characters like Steven Magnets are already censored. I know in middle eastern countries they give him a female voice actor. Signature made by Kyoshi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
