Do you think it would be better if we were all ponies?

[Two-of-Hearts 168]

Yes, I would much rather be a pony living in Equestria. I would love to be a unicorn adventurer, looking for lost artifacts and becoming a powerful wizard pony... yeah I'm a nerd. But for that matter, there are lots of fantasy worlds I would much rather be living in, the Star Wars world, the Elder Scrolls world, the Naruto world, etc. Heck after 8 hours of asking customers if they want fries with that you would too.    

[OceanSapphire 227]

I would love to be a pony instead of a human and I'd like this for everypony as well but there is a huge problem if we all live in one Equestria. Fanboys starting wars over who gets to marry which pony. I mean the last thing we need is 5000 stallions showing up on Fluttershy's front door step mouthing off a list of reasons why they'd be the perfect husband. Can you imagine how traumatized she would be? I prefer the idea of everypony getting their own version of Equestria to live in which are parallel to the rest. For example they'd all have the same characters but things would unfold different in my Equestria as opposed to somepony else's.

[GuillermoGage 246]

I guess it doesn't really matter as long as I'm in charge, I'll be an Alicorn and I'll imprison celestia so I can rule all of equestria.

Imprison Celestia? What makes you think others would not stop your rule?

Yup, this topic is good-old-fashioned Brony misanthropy.

[mycarhasaMoustache 449]

Being a pony would be way better then being human I would become a Pegasus without even thinking about it if the opportunity presented its self. More then anything I just want to live in a world where everyone isnt constantly fighting and hating each other a world  where your friends dont talk s**t behind your back all the time, A world where I dont have to pay extortionate amounts of money to keep a car on the road, A world where I dont have to give 40% of the money I earn to the government, damn I want to live in Equestria. 

 

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

Well it would be very hard to play computer / video games without fingers and thumbs. Unless if i was a unicorn and could use magic to press the buttons. Pegasus would be pretty awesome, I don't think I've ever met a person who hasn't thought that being able to fly would be absolutely awesome. 

 

As for Earth Pony, i'm not really seeing any advantages, unless i was Pinkie Pie and physics didn't apply to me. Then i could do what ever i wanted.

[Strawberry Tart 161]

1. We should all be ponies

2. I'd be a unicorn (like my avvie says)

 

Have you ever heard the joke, "where's the portal to Equestria?" There is a reason that this is often on a brony's mind. In MLP, we see what is pretty damn near to a perfect world. There is no sexual corruption, no political corruption, and moral purity is always rewarded. Their society is based on friendship, not logic nor money. This is something that I desperately want, and something that I suspect many bronies also want--a pure world where we can have faith in our society. A world without murder. Without harsh cruelty. A world where everypony who is good, is good--and those who are not are always proved wrong at the end of the day.

 

i feel like that is an underlying subconscious reason to why we all congregate together on online forums and other places. I know that I love you all, because I can trust that you value friendship and the betterment of our group as much as I do. i have faith in our society, our brony fandom, our friendship...our family.

I also like Equestria better, for similar reasons: instead of encouraging everypony to find a job that pays well, they encourage everypony to do what they love and are good at. I think that's the best moral there could ever be. 

 

 

By the way...I just realized:

 

 

 

I guess it's settled then. We take over the world and make it as Equestria-like as possible.

 

It would be cool to be able to do that.

[V1RUS_ 85]

Oh god. Pony should pony pony.

But in all seriousness, I would so swap to unicorn over human. Being able to run really fast and use

Magic.

 

Only downside would be a significant lack of steak in my life. I love steak.

Hahaha, it would be damn near impossible to play games, but who in their right mind would play games when you have EQUESTRIA? much better than games. Plus if you were a unicorn you could just entertain yourself with magic! ^.^ Too many good things in equestria for gaming, waste of time.

[Scootalove 10,689]

I would swap to be a Pegasus in a flash. I would have cool wings to fly to school without walking. Being able to live in a house on a cloud like Dashie, and have the cutting edge attitude to take on anything. At least it'll be better then most jerks in our society today.

[~Vallo~ 409]

I'd be a pegasus, mainly because I really like speed and heights. It'd be cool to be a pony, but I think I would still rather be human if I had the choice. I really don't know why. But yeah, a pegasus would be cool.

[Appetite4Democracy 452]

No.

As much as I wish we could create a perfect world like Equestria, it won't happen. Being ponies won't solve anything unless we ACT like the ponies in the show.

[rftinker 3]

I think I'll stick to being human. I really like my opposable thumbs (Lyra eat your heart out).

I'm not sure what type of pony I'd like to be if the issue was ever forced. My OC is a pegasus. However, the thought of doing magic is intriguing.

[Megas 27,627]

Not really, sure if we were unicorns we could use magic, or fly if we were pegasai, but unless Lyra can work her magic then I refuse to give up opposable thumbs and eating meat........I wouldn't mind being a pegasus.....

[Carolina 212]

I like being human, actually. I think my life is mostly pretty satisfying and humans are a facinating species. Plus, I wouldn't like the lack of opposable thumbs.

 

I wouldn't mind being a Magepath, though.

[An Old Head 4,816]

Imagining that we did all turn into ponies, I'd want to be a unicorn so I could levitate Diamond Tiara into a river.

I still think being a unicorn would be the most helpful option. Mobility doesn't become an issue when you can levitate your belongings around instead of carrying them, plus so many other conveniences. Being able to magic up a bottle of Tango Cherry would be so awesome in so many ways. Maybe magic some music out of a piano. It would just be generally useful.

[Scootalove 10,689]

I don't know about it being better. But, at least we would have a better government then most countries. I think if we were all ponies, we wouldn't really have to fight each other. The only way it could be better, is if well we act with Love and Tolerance.

[ReGen 1,466]

If everybody was a pony? Yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh.... That may not work well... 

 

Would I want to go live in Equestria? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ...Yes. 

 

 

 

Not only would I be a frickin' pegasus, but i'd (Probably) be able to meet my favorite ponies and perhaps my waifus! 

 

Let's just hope it doesn't end up like "Banned from Equestria Daily"...

To be totally honest, if i could break reality, it wouldn't be with MLP:FIM. I'd turn my back on the ponies in a second, if I could get to travel with the Doctor in his TARDIS.

[Tav of Paradise 16]

The way our world is set up is a mistake. The human race is held together by promise and forgery. Equestria is my paradise it seems. So ponies of course, but only on the condition that this world was completely forgotten, and we just lived in the world of few problems like nothing was different.

 

I would be an Earth Pony. Being in tune with nature is something I've always lacked in real life, and I think that being the humblest race would help me adapt to life better. As much as I like to talk over the internet, I'm really quiet with my voice and tend to stay extremely private. "Socially Awkward Human" to "Boundless Earth Pony" I would take that path any day. It feels weird typing that, but I guess that's what I mean. Being sucked into a fantasy pipe-dream. If only it could really happen.

[Agent505 661]

This has been said before, but darn it im saying it again. 

 

Being turned into ponies wouldn't change anything, in fact it might just make things harder. 

(Drink tea with hooves! Eat a meal, change your bedding! DOIT!)

 

However, while I do agree that becoming ponies wouldn't change a darn thing, it would be nice if we could just escape all the corruption of the modern world. All the hatred, anger, pain and suffering, and just live in a world that is based around moral balance, love and respect for each other. It has always been a hope of mine to live in a small village where I know everyone, and everyone knows everyone and gets along - my own little Ponyville if you will - and I know that one day I will have the ability to do this, somewhere, somehow. 

 

To us, viewing the show from the outside we see a perfect world, where corruption and fear are only around in small quantities, and quickly banished. It would be harmony to live in a world like that, but it wouldn't last. We would find some way to mess it all up, we always do.

 

This is why I am proud and grateful to be a brony. 

In our community we have managed to do a great many things that influence the lives of so many people - if not outside of the community then inside at the least. Take me for example, I used to have manic depression until I became a brony, until I got some true friends. When I realised that there where other people around me, even if not directly - but still there around me, that had the same interests, and the same drive, the same passion as me...that brought me out of my depressed state and made me realise there is still some good left in the world. 

We have challenged gender stereotypes, and we are changing the way people look at the world - even if it's not a big change, and even though it's a slow change. Of course we have our issues with haters, but there are still people out there who stop with enough level-headedness to take a second look at the show and at life. 

 

I guess what i'm trying to say with all this is...

My fellow bronies, we need to look beyond Equestria, and beyond Earth. We need to take a step back and realise this: while we may not live in a perfect world, we may not be able to fly by ourselves or cast magic - someone, somewhere out there created this world for us to live in, in our minds and in our hearts and we took it, expressed our gratitude and gave back even more. Just because we can't physically live in the almost perfection that is Equestria, it doesn't mean that we dont have the next best thing. Each other. And that's what counts right? As long as we stick together and stay true to each other, while we embrace the things that brought us together in the first place - we will have the next best thing to Equestria - a family.

No idea if we'd be better off as ponies, but if I were to choose, I'd definitely wanna be a pegasus, I'd love to be able to fly! And imagine the irony in the fact that I'm afraid of heights XD

[~Lawful Sturdy Wing~ 522]

Would you rather be humans or ponies? And which do you think would be better? And what one would you choose? Earth pony, Unicorn, or Pegasus?

 

Me peronally I'd have to say ponies. and I'd choose Earth Pony

 

I dream of being a Pegasus... you have no idea <3 Equestria for me now please, there is a world out there that needs defending, and Sturdy-Wing is called to defend it.

[ZLTavs 87]

Sadly if humans were ponies, they'd just adjust their war strategies.

 

But in any case, Unicorn, because then I can still use the internet and play video games.

That being said, and being one-hundred percent true there are those of us who wish we could be somewere else. We can try and be who we wanna be but in truth that is a shadow of what you could achieve without others. That is why our world is always at war, or something else on that line. Yes we have the next best thing and yes as long as we stick together and stay true... well considering how our world, our leaders, and our citizens... Most would not be able to achieve such greatness. Others believe that such happiness comes from money, or from power, yet in truth it comes from the heart and everything that is yours... Not what you can get. So what I'm saying is if some people of the world don't take there heads outa their asses (excuse my language) the world won't be able to get what we, as bronies, and as the people who believe in peace, will not get. That is why we wish to be in Equestria... Well atleast that is why I want to be in Equestria.

[ZLTavs 87]

Also I hate it how the other people choosing Unicorn choose it because the believe that they'll become wizards.

 

Only some unicorns have the potential and it probably takes a shitload of training and education just to pull off those skills.
