How would ponies react to humans coming to Equestria, and vice versa?

I find the lack of faith in humanity in this thread to be extremely depressing and think that the vast majority of us are good people at heart.  I think that our First Contact with ponies will be something more along the lines of Close Encounters or Star Trek- with a sense of wonder and curiosity, and ponies would probably react the same way.

How would we react if an intelligent alien race were to visit our planet?

 

Got it? Alright, now tone that down a little and remove all the crazy military stuff and just have the reaction be the level it would be in Equestria. Now you see?

 

If you don't, then I guess I didn't really answer your question. But basically I believe they'd treat us as an intelligent alien race... however that would be. 

 

As long as bad humans don't make their way to Equestria.  They'd probably seize some kind of inter-dimensional portal and take Equestria over in the name of the Earth.

Where to begin.  As mentioned pervious,  we need to define what "humans" are arriving.

 

 

Starved sailors who were magically transported there via unworldly magics.   Well they would probably react by being dinner.    The other side of the fandom?  I don't even wanna know.  Regular ol people?  Probably the same way they'd react when a strange pony comes to town.

 

While we're on it, what kinda ponies?   It's all very situational.  However more than likely theres a few common things going.

 

Language -  As far as we know,  ponies speak english.  Instant connection,   a shared language is dang useful,  it'll make communication far easier nd you can explain exactly whats going on.  "Hi, I've been on a ship for the last 3 years and wish to dine on your flesh, om nomnonmnom".  Pony understands it's going to be dinner, kicks it in the face and runs away.

 

 

Going with the non-started sailor route however, limitless possibilities open.  So i'll go with "What would happen if a human arrived in ponyvill"  More so that that, I'll go with "what if I did"

 

First things first is I'd probably be screaming.  Not that excited "oh boy, i'm so happy scream", but more like "holy #%@$ I am in equestria with talking ponies" fear sorta thing.   The screaming would last for some time.  Once all that was out of the way, I supposed the next deal woulf be establishing a greeting. 

 

Mind you, by this point there may be pony spears pointed at my face,  but we probably both speak english so a good hardy "Hello" would be a nice start.   Then i'd eat them

Also, they are called “My little ponies”. For all we know, we could be giants to them.

With the help of a certain pole seen in Hearth's Warming Eve, someone managed to calculate that The average female pony(Mane 6) is about 150 cm high(slightly smaller) from hoof to top of head. Big Mac is roughly two metres by the same comparison.

 

This means that the male ponies seen in the show is essentially the same size as the common ponies in our world, but with longer necks, while the females are smaller than the average pony, but not by much.

 

Celestia, judging from her size in comparison?

 

Outsizes Samson, the biggest recorded horse in history.

Probably the same way they reacted to Zecora in Bridle Gossip, prematurely judge them, cower in fear and come up with all sorts of ridiculous over the top rumors about how they are these dangerous evil monsters. Of course if any bad apples got in that would reinforce that fear rather nicely but if decent people go in it might eventually  work out, it all depends.

I believe in my whole race...in the honesty, courage, intelligence, durability... and goodness of the overwhelming majority of my brothers and sisters everywhere on this planet. I am proud to be a human being. I believe that we have come this far by the skin of our teeth, that we always make it just by the skin of our teeth — but that we will always make it … survive … endure. I believe that this hairless embryo with the aching, oversize brain case and the opposable thumb, this animal barely up from the apes, will endure.

From reading many member's posts you don't seem to have much fate in Humanity, we aren't complete monsters! We are in the grey. 

 

With good luck have we may have a peaceful scenario like that of The Gentlemanverse: Gentleman for Mares. Warning it's a clopfic.

 

__ 

 

Or a really bad scenario where the Ponies commit genocide on the Human race from one of thr crazy Conversion Bureau fan fictions.

 

Hopefully it was written by an Anti Conversion Bureau author, that way both Ponies and Humans can live.

I also noticed the lack of faith in humanity from a lot of people in this thread.  Sadly, human history indicates there is some truth to it.  Anytime humans discovered a new world and a new people, the result is usually either to conquer it outright or to overrun it with people from their home country until the original culture and way of life is hardly recognizable.  The best way to prevent this is to limit the number of humans going to Equestria.

 

I don't think ponies would suffer fromt human immigration.  They live with several sentient non pony species on their planet.  MLP is too light hearted to touch on this topic, but being minorities in a world full of ponies probably leaves a lot of them with a sense of injustice and discrimination.  But Princess Celestia is aware of these misgivings and she does what she can as a ruler to address these issues.  Because they've been dealing with different peoples and cultures for centuries, it's hard to imagine anything but the largest influx of human immigrants changing the nature of Equestria. 

 

I also don't think humans can conquer Equestria.  The ponies have shown themselves to be very resourceful and their mastery of magic offsets our huge advantage in firepower.

So much misanthropy here, thats really sad.

 

I highly doubt that nations (well, the first ones) simply will invade equestria without good reasons.

And as we evolve as a species, we reailze how wrong we were and admit our wrongdoing.  No one looks at these moments in history with fondness anymore.  Yes, we've made some mistakes along the way, but we're still learning.  Are the people in this thread the only ones who share outrage at humanity's past atrocities?  No, and I think that's true of most people.  The problem is less humanity and more an issue of power.  Power corrupts, it makes it very easy to give into temptation, and I think that's the problem with the vast majority of issues that we've faced over the years.

They should probably slowly intergrate them into the show though, so not to shock anypony.

 

:blink: maybe they'er already in the show and we just didn't notice

Whether it be the ponies or changelings. How would they react to the presence of a human being in their world. Would they be hostile and imprison him/her. I find this interesting. The spiderman meets MLP video is kinda the closest we are going to get to a simulation like that though. But you think Equestria knows what a human is, like they are legendary creatures to them

Well, when you ask something like that, you have to ask yourself:

 

"How would Earth handle ponies?"

 

Once you have the answer to that, then and only then will you know the truth of your question.

 

The way humans would handle a sentient candy colored horse would be far different from the way they would handle us. Its established that many non-pony creatures live in equestria, so a human might not be earth shattering. The human might just be an object of curiosity, but nothing more than that (or at least in my opinion)

The ponies have way broader mental horizons than most humans. We have a very sophisticated understanding of the world that clearly defines what can and cannot exist. Since magical talking ponies are in the cannot category, we'd have a pretty rough time of it. Medieval peasants or Stone Age tribes might handle the encounter better, as they haven't invested so much of their ego into the idea that they have a firm grasp of reality. Ponies, likewise being less sophisticated, would have a far easier time accepting a human into their midst.

Two scenarios

1)If the know about humans, but they are extinct or rare then they may be awed by the presence of a human or weirded out to a point of starrig at the human

 

2) if they have no idea what a human is they would be weirded out or in awe.

Sound crazy indeed, but it also sounds like a good idea. My idea would be that a team of humans show up in Ponyville and the ponies hide indoors (like they did when Zicora showed up), then the Mane 6 would follow them into a bunker in the Everfree Forest

Uh I don't think they would take so kindly to humans...I mean most of the human race would freak out if talking ponies came to our world. Besides how would they get there anyway? From what I've seen everyone get's turned into a pony when they arrive so.

i am gonna have have to agree with white lighning here, i honestly dont know how humans would get there and also this kind of episode would require a crapload of brainstorming in order to be a success

I think it would be an awful idea and if it was like an episode idea, I would just die.

 

Also Equestria doesn't seem to have any humans, just ponies, dragons, and whatever creatures.

 

A lot of fanfics that have humans going to Equestria they tend to just get sent there while they are sleeping, it's sort of a cliche.
