What is your headcanon regarding relationships and gender roles

>>29291167
There is no such thing as gender roles, mares and stallions aren't expected to act any different.
Homosexuality, bisexuality and asexuality are seen exactly as heterosexuality. Neither the former are bashed in any form nor the latter has any kind of guilt.
Marriage and children aren't "expected", it's solely a decision of the ponies in love, and no one else's business. Also, homosexual couples could have children thanks to the magic.

Essentially, my headcanon is a world which both /pol/ and Tumblr would hate.

>>29291167
I reccon given you probably have a surrogate mare with a cutie mark in making babies they don't give a shit who you marry. I mean, we already know they have a magic spell for slow transition of gender through Trixie (seriously, her stallion horn and less sparkly eyes have changed very recently. The great and powerful Trevor is canon.)

>>29291187
fuck off

>>29291206
Nah.

>>29291187
Well yes, it's a world that ignores reality and biology.

>>29291225

So pretty much like the show already does? Gotcha.

>>29291193
>seriously, her stallion horn and less sparkly eyes have changed very recently

Whaaaaaat

>>29291187
I don't see how your world would be a problem for Tumblrites.

>>29291167
Equestria has no gender roles, and is quite clearly and canonically gender-egalitarian (it's not headcanon, it's fact from everything we've seen from 6 full seasons), with gender-equality both de-jure and de-facto, and no gender roles. There's no indication whatsoever that either gender is advantaged or dominant in any way. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a literal retard, especially considering that this is MLP for fucks sake.

The show is more focused on female characters with screentime, but it has never portrayed either gender as dominant or superior. It has portrayed both genders as equally capable and respected.

Homosexuality is also obviously gonna be just as accepted.

>>29291225
Please. Nothing is being ignored.

>>29291395
They're probably implying that they don't want gender equality, and are in fact just the polar extreme to what /pol/ wants.

>>29291408
Not that tumblr or /pol/ is a hivemind or anything, of course.

>>29291167

It's only accepted with mares, because for some reason, mares massively outnumber stallions. Stallions are expected to do their reproductive duties.

>>29291408
>There's no indication whatsoever that either gender is advantaged or dominant in any way.
Except that the country is ruled completely by women (Celestia, Luna, Mayor Mare, etc.)

>>29291456
Don't be a literal retard. The idea that the gender ratio is somehow uneven is and always has been nonsensical. The gender ratio is most definitely even, especially when the ponies are quite clearly monogamous.

There aren't more of one gender, and the only reason it was ever even interpreted that way by some is because DHX does a shit job of not filling half the crowds of ponies in the show with clones and other inconsistencies. Of course, it would be a lot of work for not much benefit to hand-place every single pony and check for inconsistencies. Anyway, homosexuality would be accepted for both mares and stallions in MLP.

>>29291470
The alicorns can ascend through merit, in which gender is completely and utterly irrelevant. Starswirl almost became one, but he didn't understand friendship. Gender would never be relevant to who can become one.

And no, the country isn't 'ruled' by either gender. There are plenty of influential and successful ponies in the show, both socially, economically, and politically. Politicians in general are not focused on, and the only reason we've even seen Mayor Mare is because she's the mayor of the small town the show takes place in. We have seen others in the background though, in episodes like the Equestria Games ones, Princess Spike, etc, including some of both genders.

There are also ponies like Fancy Pants who are surely considerably more influential than Mayor Mare. And we've seen tons of business ponies, celebrities, etc of both genders, who can be pretty influential. As well as ponies in all other sorts of walks of life, lot's of variety.

also it's easier to have a tug that way, especially if you're the kind of undersexed retard who thinks fetishes are like pokemon you collect, nurture and evolve.

>>29291483
You're grasping at straws. The most powerful characters and the ones running the entire fucking WORLD are women.

Women are the rulers of their world, fucking accept it already.

>>29291487
You'd have to be utterly retarded to see this as anything other than filler that shouldn't even be taken remotely seriously. It certainly can't be used to determine anything of importance. It's improved in recent seasons, but it's still very inconsistent and is clearly not meant to contain any sort of viable information or data.

The gender ratio is even. That much should be obvious from the fact that they are monogamous alone. Plus, literally all mammals have an even gender ratio.

Don't you people have

>>29291500
You're utterly delusional. It's clear from 6 seasons of content that Equestria is gender-egalitarian, there's simply no arguing against it. There are only a handful of alicorns in the first place, and as I mentioned, there's no reason whatsoever to assume gender is even remotely relevant to them when it can be achieved through merit and being a good, benevolent leader.

There are clearly no gender roles or inequalities with gender, and we've seen ponies of both genders in a wide variety of walks of lifes, being equally capable and respected. Even physical tasks, the mares and stallions have been shown to be pretty equal.

The show may be focused on the female characters in it's screentime allotment, but neither gender is dominant or the 'rulers'. If you expected anything else from MLP, one of the ultimately most progressive shows on TV (not the crazy sort though, and it's not in your face about it), then you should just honestly be fucking euthanized.

Whoops. Got erased somehow. Was gonna inquire about that containment general of yours, aka RGRE. I think you guys should fuck off back to there and continue writing your fanfics or whatever,

Also, somehow lost the image that goes with the first comment I was replying to. Here. This shit is fucking insane and it's asinine to take it seriously.

yeah, but if you're one of the one-in-[big number] MALES that means you're special and FEEEEMALES have to look after you and come after you and want to do sex things with you, which is a good thing because of the various anxieties (social and regular) and mental issues you have

Right, just like there are only a handful of presidents of the United States, and there is no reason to assume whatsoever that gender is relevant to the position, amirite?

Lol monogamous.

>>29291167
I think if sexuality was put into the show, then most forms of it would be totally okay. Going from friends with benefits to polygamy to saving yourself for a monogamous marriage. It would all be totally okay and nopony would start arguing that one of them is better or worse.
Only thing I can't see happening are disgusting fetishes and non-consensual sex.
But maybe they would do an episode about a pony being ashamed of their bdsm fetish, but then finding another poner who accepts them for who they are and offering them to play along, making the other pony all excited and making cute noises.

>>29291559
>But maybe they would do an episode about a pony being ashamed of their bdsm fetish
You are far gone if you believe this.

>>29291544

>a sample size of 44 is totally equivalent to a sample size of 2, ever.

>>29291544
The relevant comparison is that there's only one president at a time. And considering Shillary almost won over the loud talking mango, I'd say the bias there is less than ever. But our society still has sexism, unlike Equestria, so the comparison falls flat.

From 6 seasons, we can tell quite clearly that Equestria is egalitarian with gender, both de-jure and de-facto. We've seen ponies of both genders interacting and going about their lives, which confirms this, especially after 6 seasons of it.

You could perhaps make the argument that the top levels of their government could be referred to as matriarchal based on the technicalities of the definitions, but it doesn't mean anything. Lot's of countries in the past in the real world have had queens under absolute monarchies for periods of time too, and I doubt you'd call them a matriarchy either.

Gender is not relevant, period. Any pony can earn alicornhood by proving themselves a good and benevolent leader, among other things, just like we saw Twilight do. Would completely destroy their legitimacy otherwise.

>>29291547
You're not delusional enough to actually believe the theory that Mrs Cake cheated on her husband, are you? That one has always been nothing more than nonsensical bait you know it.

But anyway, yes, monogamous. That's just a fact.

>>29291564

I am not talking about the show as it is now.

>>29291582
The show will never be like that. You live in a warped idea of the real world if you think fetishes will EVER show up in MLP. They won't even mention that Cadance had a baby through manual labor and not the stork or the cabbage patch, and you think they'll mention something like SEX in this?

Stop fapping to porn so much, it's messing with your view of reality.

Jesus, do you even read what I write?
You do realize that the structure "If x was was true, then maybe y would happen", clearly identifies my idea as something that does not fit reality right? It's just a "What if". I am well aware that sexuality is not in the show and will most likely never be. Please stop telling me that.

its a utopia, so there is no homosexuality. the gender roles are identical to what they are here, thus the reason rarity can bat her eye lashes and get horny stallions to do all sorts of shit for her. monogamous marriage and children are both expected as we observe with hearts and hooves day and everyone looking for a special somepony. their population is minimal which reinforces the need to have offspring in order to continue the population. the family authority is both parents working together and compromising.

Well I guess if it doesn't exist in the first place, no one is going to miss it, but that doesn't really make it an utop-

>Gender roles identical to what they are here
Wait what? Our gender roles are messed up and pulled out of proportion.
This is not an utopia. You can't just pull imperfection from our dystopian world and put it into pony, claiming that it is perfect now.
I mean it's still better than Moslems have it, but you can't call that utopian either when a woman can scream RAPE in an eveletor next to a man and then get an insane amount of money from him even though he did nothing wrong at all.
