Will the show ever have canon lesbians?

[Lil Pip 775]

why do I bother if everyone 'll just hate me anyways.

Idk what you mean by hate, I dont hate you, or are you talking about irl? People can disagree and not hate each other. Perhaps where you come from its made itself more clear in such a way but its not always true. Or perhaps you are lesbian and feel irl people would hate you anyways, but I think that idea is the lower chance compared to the other interpretations of what you said.

I could literally post anything and you'd call me Jesus Christ. Regardless meant because people keep correcting cannon to Canon. I didn't know there was a difference I. Spelling.

What do you mean?  I was just goofing; I wasn't out to hurt anyone's feelings.  I see the "cannon" misspelling a lot on the site, and I find it amusing.  I don't think anyone in this topic hates you.

You aren't the only person to use the wrong "canon"; not by a long shot.  It's a VERY common mistake.  I wouldn't have pointed it out if I'd known you'd be bothered by it; I just saw a pun opportunity and couldn't resist.  I apologize.

[Black Sabbath 2,484]

Never he's just wishing they where.

1) What makes you think that? 2) He didn't, he claimed it was canon. 

[Fluttershyponygal 82]

That's just fan interpretation.

 

Please take off the heterosexual glasses. 

 

I don't even ship those two and it was MORE THAN OBVIOUS to anyone with half a brain that it all but screamed they were a lesbian couple. The only left to complete seal it was a kiss or the words "I love you".

It was not. Sure, there were a few hints here and there but that doesn't make it canon.

I was just joking. I don't really care. I also didn't know there was a difference. And that meme was funny

it was based off of how he phrased it.

I can see what you mean.Mlp

Exactly what I thought..Mlp

Mecha musume howitzers reloading each other with thick, long shells ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

Anyhow, I wouldn’t mind a lesbian pair under a few conditions:

-Not relevant to plot: that means no inclusion lessons or intolerance finger-pointing

-Casual introduction with no coming out of the closet hullabaloo. Characters should treat it as relatively uncommon yet ordinary thing

-Not Mane 6

-H-Bro rejects all affiliations with LGBT organizations and/or movements if asked about it

I was going to say that it should be just subtle, a simple drop like, "Yeah, I saw that movie yesterday with my girlfriend.  It was nice!"

 

What I don't want to see is what Bioware did in Mass Effect 3, a la:

 

"HEY GUYS!  I'M A NEW CHARACTER AND THIS IS MY FIRST SCENE, AND LET ME TELL YOU WHAT, I AM SO GAY!  YOU KNOW THAT FEMALE AI THAT RUNS THE SHIP?  TOTALLY HAVE A CRUSH ON HER ALREADY!  DID I MENTION THAT I LIKE WOMEN?"

 

As I said before, I'm not homophobic and I don't mind LGBT representation in mainstream media, but for God's sake, don't shoehorn it in just to virtue signal.  A gay character cares just as much about their sexuality as a straight person does, which is to say that the average person doesn't bring it up in every conversation.

[Drunkfrank 1,125]

There's no reason to have straight characters.

 

 

You are right, there is no reason, except straight characters wont cause unnecessary controversy

 

I dont care either way, its a little girls show, you dont need to force your sexuality into it. No sexuality needs to be in it.

Yeah that would a good idea.

You win I don't want to argue anymore.

[Mysterycat 27]

I don't care either way....there could be lesbians, bisexual ponies, gay stallions, or even asexual ponies. I don't care, as for whether or not there will be lesbians in the show, I don't know.

Yeah it doesn't matter we.

[RiseofSpectrum 359]

For the show it is, it isn't even necessary.

 

Leave the issue of sexuality alone for a show geared towards little girls who aren't at all aware of their own sexual preference yet.

[NullAccount 287]

I don't think it's going to happen, mainly just because they wouldn't want to take a such a risk with a series that has already been established as a moneymaker. Shows that have pulled it off, like Steven Universe, weren't already established, so they were able to take that risk. I'd like to see it, but it doesn't seem likely.

[Vlazamal 338]

Unlikely. Remember a large portion of the target demographic.

Steven Universe, The Loude House, Legend Of Korra, and Clarence all have either gay or bisexual(Korra) characters.

Yeah I agree with that statement.

I agree with that. Also I want to make clear that I'm not an SJW. Or a feminist.

[Applejacket 185]

There is only one ship that could possibly qualify for this glory and that is obviously Rarijack

[Tilgoreth 1,915]

As if it wasn't obvious you didn't love Applejack. Granted I wouldn't mind that one. But only if they didn't make it suck. Whenever they have an episode it's mostly boring or annoying.

[Aurora Glimmer 494]

If the writers are going to make two characters canonically lesbian, it'll probably be Lyra and Bon Bon and it'll probably be done through word of god rather than onscreen.

[Rulerofblocks 210]

I think that'd be pushing their luck a little bit. It could be cute, though.

[Lambdadelta 1,462]

Lyra and Bon Bon are official canon lesbian already, if Slice of Life isnt enough for you, Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games short are over the place, pick whatever you like, there are many evidence they are not just "best friends", what do you guys want? more lesbians? Lesbian is Magic? You want Words of God to confirmed your lewd headcanon ?

They're already an item as far as I'm concerned.

I'd like them cough cough to kiss. But that won't happen.

Yeah I feel the same way about it. Mlp fun mop

No I flatter with what you are saying.

Hey was Aurora supposed to be Starlight' s original name? Also I agree.

[Aurora Glimmer 494]

Yeah, Aurora Glimmer was her original name, but they couldn't use it because of copyright issues.
