No Male Villains yet?

[Denim&Venöm 19,588]

I've just noticed that every main antagonist in EQG has been female. Sunset, the Dazzlings, anyone of note at Crystal Prep, Gloriosa, Juniper Montage, what's her face from Forgotten Friendship (yet to see it). 

There's plenty of male villains in the show, but none of them are all that relatable. None of them come from the same backgrounds as the mane six. It's always some evil despot from a far off realm. It's never a stallion with a grudge or a thirst for power. I mean the closest were Flim, Flam and Iron Will, but do we really see them as villains worthy of a two parter, let alone a movie? Yet we don't even get characters like those in EQG. If they're not shoehorned as romantic interests or henchmen to the queen baddie, they're pretty much background filler. Do the guys not suffer the same issues? Do they not crave the adoration Juniper desired or feel the desperation Gloriosa did? Do none of them get drunk with power like Sunset once was? Were none of them manipulative like Cinch or pushed to lost control like Sci-Twi? 

Any good reason why EQG hasn't experimented with male antagonists?

I was *just* thinking about this. 

 

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Canterlot High Stories: Twilight Sparkle's Science Fair Sparks book spoilers

Spoiler

In the book,

the "villain" was a male character named Rising Star,  but he was more of a character who got swept up in a project to make people happy

 than a threatening villain.

Filthy Rich in Legends of Everfree says hi

Honestly, EqG has extremely few male characters in general, let alone ones of any prominence. The biggest example was probably Flash Sentry, but even his role was kind of downplayed, and is currently on the same tier as Timber Spruce and Micro Chips. So it's really no wonder we haven't had a male antagonist in there.

Even then, he's more a corporate jerk than an actual antagonist.

[Ganondorf8 11,413]

Filthy Rich would be a male antagonist but only on a technicality as his only contribution was being the catalyst that caused Gloriosa to do what she did.

Oh, I have forgotten about that book. Thought about buying it...... BECAUSE FLASHY IS GETTING SOME LOVE

Spoiler

But hey, isn't that from the leaks ? 

Well, I thought that one reason for not having villain dudes prior to this could be because of current unfortunate implications of teen girls with evil dudes. The other reason is for having some evil is sexy eye candy

How so? Got evidence on this? Just a bit skeptical about this.

No just the fact it according to the trailers has them going to Equestria so its not likely to be another person finds Equestria magic plot.

Maybe the villian is one from Equestria, like Tirek or more likely the Storm King...

I wonder how are they gonna handle that plot. Are they really making a return for Storm King? If so, is Liev  Schreiber reprising his role? Unlikely, then again, he may want to reprise his only role his kids can see 

[TBD 17,259]

I have stopped asking for a male villain a long time ago...but male or female I want at least another villains like the Dazzling. The "Power/attention lust" good guy turns to bad guy and backward is getting really old.

Because MLP supports feminism (as do I). While it would be realistic for there to be male villains (as throughout history, the vast majority of evil leaders/people were/are male), but, idk. I guess another way to look at it is this: MLP is demographically meant for little girls. In other words, little girls are Hasbro's target audience in this case. Thus, it makes more sense for there to be female villains, rather than male ones. This same reason explains why there are no stallions in the Mane Six, or why all the main characters (even within individual episodes) have been mares, or at least for the most part.

Knowing the hole crap of people of the internet there would be a lot of controversy that would spread like wildfire if it were to be a male villan
