I’m saying “maybe” because that really seems to most likely be the case. All the “rage” and “bitterness” people seem to be accusing her of really seems like projection.

And maybe she actually secretly a Muslim. The rest I am not sure where you are taking it from, but my first sentence should likely tell you what I think of your logic.

You know maybe Lauren’s position on this is “Twilight’s coronation was not something that I planned on but it is not something that I am vehemently against”
 
Seriously some people care about the show more than its creators do
 
What’s up with that?

@Background Pony  
What I take from this exchange is that, if one grants the premise that regular ponies can be changed into alicorns, then all three pony races can undergo that change. I wouldn’t say this proves that Lauren Faust thought alicorns could be made in addition to (or instead of) being born, though it does seem to make it more likely that she’s OK with the idea, or that she was planning on doing something like that herself.

Why do I feel we are missing some context or there is some sort of doublespeak involved?

It invalidates the “only two alicorns” “rule”, though Faust did say that she saw Celestia and Luna as born alicorns, so they can be born OR made (assuming that Faust’s statement agrees with the plans of those currently working on the franchise). Presumably their parnets were also alicorns, especially as Faust said that she saw Nightmare Moon’s rebellion as happening while she and Celestia still lived with their parents.

Build commie blocks!
Whoa whoa whoa stop the presses! If I’m interpreting this correctly: ‘alicorns’ are made (via some form of magic), not born.
 
If I may ask (the people reading this): Does this invalidate the “only two alicorns” rule?

Because COLORING!!
@Mayojar77  
Indeed. Not only that, it turns out that she’s not a blood relative of Celestia. She was found orphaned as a foal. No joke, it’s in Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell. Go read it. ^_ ^

Eeyup. The Crystal Heart Spell says that cadance started off as a pegasus orphan and earned her ascension by redeeming a villian (so I hope Flutters is next).
