NeverAgain653289he32 285 July 9, 2013 Share July 9, 2013 (edited) Oi, what's up guys? Anyways, I really just don't get it.... Every time someone from my school witnesses something that has to do with MLP they think they are all unicorns. I mean Rainbow Dash has no horn and a visible pair of wings, but I guess since she is a technicolor mare everyone assumes she is a unicorn. Just because they are very colorful ponies everyone assumes that they are a unicorn. Does anyone else have that same problem with any people they know?

GrimCW 658 July 9, 2013 Share July 9, 2013 can't say i've that issue, but its no surprise people don't know about Pegasus and such. Old time myths and lore just aren't as well known or acknowledged anymore. No more are fairy tales and myths told to children to teach them lessons and give them a good bed time story So in the end people don't know much about brownies, Wyrms, Fae, Unicorns, and all the other mythical creatures that don't get mentioned in modern movies, leading them to mix them up and confuse them with other things.

Dusty Soul 2,612 July 9, 2013 Share July 9, 2013 Yep, that is the same at my school. I dunno, maybe because no one thinks pegasus' are a thing in MLP. I guess everyone just assumes they all are unicorns, because they are the most talked about. 2 Soundcloud-------------------Facebook---------------------------Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlNKlE PIE 364 July 9, 2013 Share July 9, 2013 (edited) You mean to say that they AREN'T all unicorns?Three years now I've been living a lie....Don't expect the average Joe to have extensive knowledge on ancient mythology. ...Similarly, don't expect the average Joe to have any extensive knowledge.

hawkflame 3,310 July 9, 2013 Share July 9, 2013 Well, the only one that matters is a unicorn. I wouldn't think much of it. They just sort of make assumptions. Technicolor ponies=unicorns. It's stupid, but what can you do? 1 Sig by Thunderstorm Check out my Rarity fansite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 July 9, 2013 Share July 9, 2013 Cartoon ponies=unicorns? I can't say I have ever heard that one before, I would have thought that the assumption would be if anything that there are all pegasi because Rainbow Dash tends to appear pretty much everywhere.

NeverAgain653289he32 285 July 9, 2013 Author Share July 9, 2013 Yep, that is the same at my school. I dunno, maybe because no one thinks pegasus' are a thing in MLP. I guess everyone just assumes they all are unicorns, because they are the most talked about. I mean there are quite a bit of bronies in my school who know what's up, but not all of them are that nice. It's usually the really stupid people who say stuff like this the most.

tranglam 28 July 9, 2013 Share July 9, 2013 Really? I don't have this problem, everyone I know took mythology classes in high school or already knew what they were(such as myself). Eitherway, no everyone I know knows the difference, but I can see how people from a city or other part of the country might not.

Yes-Man 597 July 9, 2013 Share July 9, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I get that too. It's annoying, but I got over it. At least I think I did. Hopefully, I won't snap next time someone says that. Anywho, I don't really know where this came from. I guess bright colors+horses= pretty princess unicorns and magical rainbow tea-parties, I guess. Same concept as animal+Bipedal Movement= AUTOMATIC FURF*****RY HAHAHAHH GAY, it seems. Edited July 9, 2013 by Yes-Something "I'm done being patient.

Fluttershutter 2,529 July 12, 2013 Share July 12, 2013 I don't get why people who've seen the show are always saying Twilight is shy. She's not shy, she's often loud and bossy(in a cute way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwilizzleFoShizzle 95 July 12, 2013 Share July 12, 2013 pegasus' Pegasi*Okay grammar nazi urges suppressed for the moment, anyways people associate the ponies with unicorns because they look for excuses to insult bronies and their supposed sexual orientation, and unicorns are very commonly associated with little girls and/or rainbows, so the whole unicorn thing kind of makes sense considering what anti-bronies are trying to prove and what a non-brony non-hater may still inherently feel. I find the thought process of non-hater non-bronies to be similar to that of anti-bronies, they just choose not to voice any opinions they have against bronies and their opinions are often not as strong, but may still be similar to those of anti-bronies. Thus, I am led to believe that the reason ponies in MLP are generalized as unicorns by those ill informed on the show is because of the subconscious association of the show (and by extension bronies) with little girls and rainbows. 1 EITHER YOU SHAT YOUR PANTS OR YOU GOT FROSTBITE IN YOUR POOPER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbyboi 588 July 12, 2013 Share July 12, 2013 Hmmm... Well I mean they probably assume that since Twilight Sparkle (who's obviously a unicorn) is the main character and they often see her, so they get the image that all ponies are unicorns. Plus, the title of the show "Friendship is MAGIC'. So yeah, magic=unicorns. I don't really mind this, I mean I know some people who think they're all Pegasuses. But those are probably the main reasons why they think all of them are unicorns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Horn 430 July 12, 2013 Share July 12, 2013 Well, if they're stereotyping, and assuming that everything from Discord to Zecora is a unicorn, than that's their problem. Can't expect everypony else to have two brain cells to rub together.

Ihei 713 July 12, 2013 Share July 12, 2013 They probably think that because of Generation 3, where MLP was sucky. They maybe didn't realize that it's way better now. Don't worry though; once they watched it, you can say, "Told ya so." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 July 12, 2013 Share July 12, 2013 I don't really many pony stereotypes but, I guess they assume that from G3 or anything other than the current generation of My Little Pony. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimCW 658 July 12, 2013 Share July 12, 2013 (edited) I think it's an unfair generalization that just because Big Macintosh is an eligible stallion who also happens to be a head taller than any other resident of Ponyville defacto makes him a memetic sex god. Regardless of gender. Which is dumb. Come to think of it.. compared to the other male options in ponyville itself.. i'd say it probably is a sex god.... i mean, look at the other male choices, Time turners a random appearance, Most of the pegasi are actually from cloudsdale and only visiting, and Mr. Carrotcake isn't exactly a looker... Can't really count the little ones, sooo... whats left? 90% of the male characters that ever show up are usually from canterlot, cloudsdale, or passing through.... Ponyville has some slim pickings...
