It isn’t. It’s just something fanfic writers use for clopfics and stuff like that.
(after reading own comment) I think I should’ve worded that better. It looks like I”m being sarcastic. (ahem) I mean, they’re so cute and squishy and adorable for something like THAT to be a thing.
Not to mention, there’s been hints of actual wild horses that don’t have any magics at all, (yes, pegusi and earth ponies have their own magic) so maybe heat just isn’t a thing with the MLP? I dunno.
Real biology in a pastel talking cartoon horse? What is this madness?!
Apes and monkeys go into heat, but humans don’t. Trust me, there’s a clear difference between estrus and periods. I’ve been around horses in heat. It’s fucked up (especially when more than one stallion takes a whiff of the smell). There’s no way they can have the civilization they have while dealing with that, even if it’s underplayed.
Me too. But alas they ran for it….Which is odd since they took on the manticore rather quickly and well enough. Also they have many advantages over the teenage dragons.
Rarity: Seems to know her way around in a fight. (Manticore, against D/Applejack) She probably took up lessons. As well as being skillful with magic, she’d hold her own.
Rainbow Dash: She’s a black belt in karate. Is incredibly quick and agile.
Twilight: Magic….No seriously, she could have tossed those dragons about with ease. I mean, if she can do all those things with the Ursa Minor and lift it all the way home, three medium sized dragons are nothing.
But alas, they didn’t have that much time left in the episode.
Fuck off /mlp/, human poses are mah favourite!
Anyway, that pose was the cutest thing I’ve seen in this show by far. I kind of wanted to see the dragons fight ponies.
Indeed, considering Equestria is the land of friendship and harmony, that absolutely must be the case.
Good to see at least someone agrees with me on that.
Both sexes have equal power and rights. Let’s not drag that stupid thing up.
I can’t say that’s included in my headcanon either, the concept or a matriarchy or patriarchy is stupid to me, and I refuse to see Equestria as anything other then egalitarian.
I guess I’m probably starting to sound like a bit of a downer here, huh? Either way, any other thoughts on that? I don’t really have much to say about it sadly.
Meh, I take back the ‘not evolving’ part, let’s just go with what Evo said.
I’m not a biologist, so I can’t really answer that question.
I do think that ‘estrus’ simply would not have evolved in the first place though. In the scenario that it did, it’s certainly not going to infringe on ponies free will like some unfortunate fanfics portray.
Well, it would probably be subdued. I mean, humans have ‘periods’ in which females are quite fertile. They get agitated and aggressive. {That’s why my sister gets so angry and short-tempered. Hard to deal with when it happens.}
Civilization and time can underplay them into where they are more controllable, but they would still be there. We are all animals in the end.
Herd mentality can be thought as a dated method of survival. They can just opt not to do it.
But isn’t estrus a biological function that they can’t just ‘get rid of’? Whether they need it or not?
Correct me if I’m wrong.
What do you mean by that? Sorry if it’s obvious.
Physically, in terms of poses and body language. Stuff like estrus and herd dynamics shouldn’t be part of the show, obviously.
@Background Pony
Yeah, it’s a matter of opinion, and I agree the poses in the posted image are amusing.
Well, how much of that can ponies willfully change?
PINKIE POWER!
I am a master of Ti Kwan Leap, combined that with me being a mad scientist and you can get some crazy stuff.
(summons a bunch of anti-matter boots and throws them all)
This. (It’s off putting when writers bring in estrus or herds.)
Physically or mentally? The ponies act just like humans and are even monogamous, unlike real horses.
Things like estrus is stupid because an intelligent species like MLP ponies simply wouldn’t need something like that. Estrus is mostly used in fanfics as fetish fuel and nothing more.
Gender ratio? Real horses actually have a 1:1 gender ratio, despite what many people seem to think. The herds that real horses make create an illusion that less males are born, but in reality it’s probably less males survive(competition for mates, etc).
Meh.
uses magic to block the boot HA! As if a boot could defeat me.
