I like Rule 63

the whole show about it would be pretty awkward though xD

.... but Pinkazoid feels lonely knowing a male Pinkie ain't never being real :3

I don't think it'd be all THAT bad... Then again, I guess I'm just thinking of one episode, where Twilight screws up or something. :huh:

 

You know, the sexism episode. Because everyone knows how men run Equestria. *Heavy sarcasm*

 

All in all, I think it's interesting to see genderswaps. I don't tihnk the whole show should get swapped, but maybe one episode where they walk in someone else's horseshoes, and get a broader understanding of their world. Something cheesy like that.

 

Says the Cheeze Queen. :blush:

I think the series could benefit from a singular episode where they swap genders. Clearly, our fair fillies have established themselves as females, so I would not want to see the change become permanent. The concept is intriguing, though.

I like the idea of twilight messing up and gender-swapping the mane6, but that is a stretch, I don't know how good the episode would be. But I have to agree with everypony that would be a horrible idea if they were permanently gender-swapped.

... Like the Powerpuffs and Rowdyruffs?

It might make for an interesting episode -- Like the fan-based episode with Fionna the Human and Cake the Cat from Adventure Time (as opposed to Finn the Human and Jake the Dog).

... Would it be an episode aimed at getting more bronies from a younger, male audience? (Assuming it just follows the lives of the male Mane 6 in a different universe) It could just be mud and fighting.

 

I'd actually like to see that :wacko: ...

It may make a good lesson on gender bias but for their target audience (not the accident that exploded on the internet) it may be a little to soon for that... then again i guess they already touched on racial discrimination(Zacora) so i don't think it's terrible. Might just be done better with a new stallion.

Hurrrr, more gender-swapping topics for me to post in. Happy Discord is happy.

Overall, I don't think the show would be the same as it is now, if the show had started with them as boys, from the beginning. If you look at the more popular and 'accepted' interpretations of the Mane Six as colts, like the image above, (Dusk Shine, Applejack, Rainbow Blitz, Elusive, Bubble Berry and Butterscotch, accordingly), you'll begin to realize that the only reason they're the way they are, is because the fandom has been able to create them off of the Mane Six as girls. If there had never been a female Mane Six, and they'd been boys from the very beginning, we may in fact have seen slight to moderate differences in how the Colt Mane Six are depicted, since they wouldn't have been based off anything.

 

TL;DR: The Mane Six as boys, in my opinion, works well because of Rule 63; something that may not have been as good, if the ponies had been boys from the start.

 

It's to that end why I think having a singular episode in some season some day where the Main Six have a crazy inter-dimensional encounter with themselves as boys would be great, because they're being based off the already existing Mane Six.

Meh, I like the mane six as girls better although, I wouldn't mind seeing just one episode in which they do end up flipping genders

 

That would make for a pretty interesting episode right there :P

I'd like it if they met colt versions of themselves (because that could only end badly) but yeah, if they were dudes from the beginning it would be a very different show and probably not a better one

Which is kinda why i was grappling over what the Season 3 Episode 3 was going to be instead of Pinkie clones it should've been the Colt 6 . (Although im not complaining)

 

I would like to see an episode of the genderswapped mane 6 but i do think the maine characters work better as girls.

If the main characters were all boys, then Lauren Faust wouldn't have been the creator of the show :P She is very much a champion of female protagonists.

 

Yeah, that would happen. Perhaps it would go down all in one second. So I don't think it would make a good show. But fanfics about the gender meeting the other are pretty good.

Hello.

I am this random 12 year old Pegasister Trekkie Whovian Potterhead.

Yeah, I'm sorta a nerd.

And I am also trying to find a decent signature.

Oh, yeah, I'm a Christian. And I'm proud of it.
