Yes. Yes I do.
You have personal experience with how people would react to innumerable hypothetical situations?
I wouldnt complain Twily
I wasn’t saying “everyone” would complain, but some would at least regardless whichever directions they take.
It’s like with the Sonic series… Some Sonic fans want the games to be more speed, and less platforming… Other fans want less speed, and more platforming. You can’t please everyone. That’s all I’m trying to say.
>my face when my comment is made redundant after I post it and the page refreshes, and I can’t edit it.
True. This was a movie everyone would find something to bitch about. Lord knows I’ve bitched up a storm about it myself.
In my experience, a lot (not all) of the people who complain about EqG would never be happy with simply the concept of the movie (which I admit was dumb, but they made it work), and so will complain about everything. There is NOTHING that could have been done with the human designs, storyline, and new characters that would please these people.
I suppose it wouldn’t of hurt if they at least had some chubby/different students in the background, and such…
However, my whole point is, no matter how they make the “Equestria Girls” look, people will complain “to skinny,” “to fat,” “to white,” “to much forced-diversity,” and such. You can’t win. Same with the skin-tone/race argument. (Frankly, I thought using their pony colors was clever.) If they made one of the main characters fat, (like Pinkie) as I said, people would likely be angry over that to. Fat, or thin, you can’t win.

You are best pony now.
The cutie mark crusaders are younger, and Celestia, Luna, Mrs. Cake and Granny Smith are older. I should have been more clear I was referring to the teenage student’s models, which were all identical, save for the one moronic villain that all the fans dislike, who is noticeably overweight.
Actually, there were some others, there were Snails, Principle Celestia & Luna were taller, and looked different to in the face, and stuff. Even the CMC, as well as Tiara, & Spoon looked a bit shorter, and a bit different to.
Don’t forget Mrs. Cake, and Granny Smith. (Whom was oddly chubbier then Mrs. Cake.) As well as a few background characters perhaps. So there is a li’l diversity in the movie.
Also, even if they did diversify them, chances are, people would still complain to. This artist suggests Pinkie should be chubby, (would kinda suit her, I admit) but I’m sure if they did that, people would start complaining that her body-type, and Pinkie’s tendency to snack, is “encouraging obesity/unhealthy lifestyles,” and crap… I’ve seen people make those complaints on “chubby” humanized Pinkie pics, even if she isn’t drawn very fat. One girl who drew her chubby, even said people were hassling her, and calling her a “fat-fetishist,” and such…
Hell, they couldn’t even bother to give them unique clothes; with the ponies the base model is the ONLY thing they have in common, everything else is to make them recognizable, with the EG design it was just lazy.
I can understand that. I mean, that’s why that EQG live-action music video got a lot of flak, for depicting the entire cast as white. As least the actual movie ended up going with the pony coat and mane colors instead… Of course, people still freaking complained about THAT, but you can never please everyone.
I just… I still find it incredibly hypocritical.
There are unpleasent implications in all humans looking the same; cartoon horses are another story, something made from scratch.
I wouldn’t mind it honestly, but I’m fine with the mane 6 having similar looks to.
Our point wasn’t that the ponies “need diversity,” we were just pointing out they aren’t very diversified either, yet everybody’s fine with that. Then when they do the same with humans, people flip.
Indeed, seems a bit biased…
I must add, after reading the artists’ bitching in the source link, I had to downvote this pic… Also, because I hate it when people try to use the ponies to preach their personal opinions, or use them to bash Hasbro, or something.
I admit the E.G. dolls could’ve “looked better,” and I wouldn’t mind diversity in the body types, but nothing we can do about, they already made them. (Admittedly, it was a bit lazy they reused the same mold for Principle Celestia & Luna, but as I already pointed out, they did that with the pony toys like Mrs. Cake to, even though they look different in the show/artwork.)
Also, even if they did diversify them, chances are people would still be upset, and say Pinkie looks “to chubby,” or something, and such…

Should ponies also have body diversity?
Exactly my point. The pony toys and the in-show character models all pretty much use the same body type, but NO ONE EVER COMPLAINS, simply because they’re ponies.
What I find ironic is, 90% of the ponies have the same body-type to, even in the show.
In fact, the Mrs. Cake toy uses the same body mold as the other ponies. The only hint she has of even being chubbier is just having a cheek curve drawn under her eyes.
Exactly. Heaven forbid Applejack be even a few inches taller then Twilight. Jeez…
It’s because the human bodies from EG promote the “anorexic beautiful” body dullshit.
You literally all come from the same molds.
