Could Humans And Ponies Ever Be Friends?

Could Humans And Ponies Ever Be Friends? 

 

I'd think we could be friends.

 

If Ponies are truly sapient they too would have their own versions of monsters like serial killers like Ted Bundy, ruthless Gangsters and racist warmonging idiots among them. Multiverse theory means anything can happen, such as shape shifting Godzilla Human Power Rangers.

 

Of course you could just say there's a universe of Humans, where we a bunch of timid crybaby wimps that are terrified of kittens. Sure these Ponies would be friends with the Humans. Fluttershy would love them, but most Ponies would find them annoying.

 

Or a universe of Humans where 99% of us are complete warmongering savages and cabalize each other for fun, with only a Stoneage level of technology. The Ponies may have no choice but to destroy these Humans, that or try genetically engineer captured Humans to make them a great deal less aggressive, and over the course of several generations make them exactly like us or even more timid. 

 

Humans like us (First contact/Humans Only/Intergalactic Civilization) meet them? The Ponies are the first Aliens we ever met.

 

A portal from a world/univers like ours linking to Equestria.  

 

Mass Effect Universe: A few thousand Humans and their sapient Aliens friends some how managed (teleported) to Equestria  to escape the Reapers under their noses, while the Reapers were going all KILL EVERY SAPIENT RACE IN THE GALAXY!

Yes but there will be some complications at first. As we saw in Bridle Gossip the ponies do in fact have racism, Zecora did nothing wrong yet she was the subject of vicious rumors of being an "evil enchantress" who "gobbles ponies up" in a "big tasty stew". The ponies would find out about some of the less honorable things humans have done and many of them would be afraid of humans and many humans would be afraid of them. There would be some ponies and humans that would be a little less jugmental and try to get to know each other but they may also face some scorn as well. It is not going to be easy and may take quite a few years but yes it can happen.

I like you aren't being misanthropic. Yet, being realistic.    

 

And the controveral Xenophilia relationships, Human X Pony may get a lot of hate from both Pony and Humans.

If My Little Dashie can do it, then why not in real life?

 

Well yeah, they would, let's just hope animal abusers don't discover and abuse them.

The way I see it is that what the show depicts is an idealized version of their universe, yes it is possible that they may have fewer problems than us but with how human like they are they are not as far removed from humans as a lot of people would like to believe. There are a lot of people for example that have suggested that ponies reproduce asexually which while they are certainly free to believe that is very unlikely to be the case even if it dosen't actually show sexual relationships in the show that is of course also true for many childrens shows that have human characters but this assumption is not made of them.

 

And yes there would indeed be a lot of hate for xenophilic relationships, I think ponies would accept it a bit more quickly than humans as we have evidence in the show that interspecies relationships is not at all unusual as they tend to treat Spike's crush on Rarity the same as they would if Spike was a colt instead of a dragon.Such relationships probably wouldn't take long to form but to gain acceptance may take even longer than it would for ponies and humans to actually trust each other. The main reason being that alot of humans would wrongfully view it as bestiality.

I think there are plenty that would see automatic alliances, but I think the biggest problems that arise would involve whether or not human rights apply to sapient creatures with IQs that equate that of H sapiens sapiens. Then, there's the scientists that would evidently like to study the ponies, and as per Heisenberg's Principle, you can't study anything without changing it, whether for better or for worse. How open would the ponies be to cadavers? How open would we be to supplying one to an entirely new sapient species? It'd be a foreign policy nightmare!

New laws would have to be introduced in order to protect sapient non Human Alien Life from such things. All the world's government would have to watch/play Mass Effect and become a little nerdy.

No point to say why. So yes I think ponies and some humans will get along just fine. Til a war breaks out where some humans will want to kill the ponies and the bronies, that's us, will fight with the ponies.

 

Hopefully that will never happen.

[Scootalove 10,689]

I think we could be friends with ponies. But, sometimes there are idiots and people that will refuse to be friends with humans or ponies because maybe a war would break out. Let's say that a war should not happen.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

We could not be friends. Humans are evil warfaring creatures that would not mesh well with the peace and seclusion of the Equines in Equestria. In fact, knowing humans, greedy corporations would probably take advantage of the fact that ponies would be naive to the evil that is humanity.

 

I would assume it would work like this. The Equines would want to be friends, as would a section of humanity, but the elitists would try to conquer and take advantage of the resources and land of Equestria because it is such prime real-estate, lacking pollution and such that is characteristic of Earth.

 

Not only that, but a "If it's weaker than I am, it must be conquered" philosophy isn't all that uncommon in humans, actually.

Alas, I'd say a war would be inevitable, as there will always be a portion of humanity that would seek to dominate the ponies. However, in the inevitable war, there would be humans on each side- and I know which side I'd be on.

Yes, that did happen in some universes. But there's also universes where the Ponies are the evil ones such Xenolestia is from certain versions of The Conversion Bureau fan fictions.

 

First things first she invades Earth in another universe (that did nothing to the Ponies) and attempts to commit genocide on the Human race because she thinks all Humans are evil and a lesser race, so she begins turning them all into her mindless smiling drones called Newfoals to save them, and uses the Barrier (Slowly growing wall of death) to cover all of Earth.

 

Not only does she hate Humans, she also hates all non Pony races and will commit genocide on them too. She deems any race that isn't a Pony is a lesser race and must be converted or die. So goodbye Griffons and any other sapient species that comes into contact with her. 

 

With future plans of creating an interdimensional empire that will commit genocide on other sapient species across the Multiverse, while avoiding the stronger sapient species.

I voted yes, but I think that there is problem here. how is the contact going to happen? Are we moving to Equestria? Are they coming here? If we are forced to coexist in the same space, I doubt it'd work.

 

But, if we maintain some sort of diplomatic relations, commerce relations, etc, without one intruding upon the other, it could work.

 

EDIT: Damn. Sorry. I have a tendency to always think of the canon ponies.

I wasn't talking in terms of fan-fiction. I am referring strictly to established Equestria versus what I know from personal experience of Humanity.

True but there are some ponies who adopt this mentality as well, King Sombra being a good example of this. He enslaved and dominated his people the same way and most likely for the same reasons any human dictator would. You could make a case that the ponies have less of this but not that they don't have it at all, exposure to the less savory aspects of humanity could create more ponies like that so they are not entirely incorruptable. If a war were to occur it would without question encourage more of this and not just among the humans as wars and violence just seem to beget more wars and violence. In the hearts warming episode we need to also remember that the pony races did not always get along with each other and even implied that there may have been wars between them.

Right. But canon Ponies can be just as evil as us. What if King Sombra won? Slavery of the entire world with him ruling it with an iron hoof would happen.

 

What if Nightmare Moon? Won all life on Equestria would be dead and the world would be icy lifeless rock.

No matter what the ponies did to each other, that doesn't mean we wouldn't simply kill or enslave them, as humanity has had a habit of doing to eachother, forget other species

The Ponies (not idealized version of the show) could do the exact same as us Humans.

 

Naiz Ponies/Celestia view Humans as scum, therefor must be killed down to the last crying defenseless child. Ponies more powerful than Humans type.   

 

Pony/Celestia Imperialist: Enslave Humanity viewing them as a lesser race. Ponies more powerful than Humans type.

Yes, In fact I think that we could learn a quit a lot about friendship and harmony from the ponies...With all the pointless wars and crap we got going on in society though we would probably end up trying to kill all the ponies for something stupid like oil, Or to "free the ponies from the evil monarchy of Celestia and Luna" sarcasm..

The only problem with that theory is that I'm one hundred percent certain that even if they tried to do that, they would lose. I mean, humans are definitely WAY more powerful and advanced. If they tried to enslave us, I don't doubt humans would drive the ponies into extinction.

Just imagine if these Ponies are ten times more powerful than the Reapers from Mass Effect. Such a force exists, if multiverse theory is true. 

 

Humanity would be screwed against such odds.

Maybe but it is very unlikely the ponies would be that powerful, I don't even think that Celestia and Luna are that powerful but Discord on the other hand is easily even more powerful than that. If a human invasion happened after Discord reformation than I don't think the humans would stand a chance.

But if a human invasion happened before that, Discord might be a powerful ally, considering humans are chaotic and evil by nature.

Xenolestia, from The Conversion Bureau. She is literally almost unstoppable. One she is invincible by moral weapons. Only another God can kill her.

If we can use fan-fiction to support our arguments, I think Celestia would be too busy with her romance with Twilight to deal with humans.
