Legends of Equestria - Forum

So, I was on Facebook, when I saw an ad for an app. The ad said
"For Pony & Brony fans!
Only FREE iPad app for MLP fans! Games, prizes, boyfriends, weddings, socialize & more!"
The picture is pretty much somewhat of a human Twilight Sparkle, and in the background, there's a unicorn that doesn't entirely seem FiM to me. So I decided to check it out.

:I One thing I'd like to ask: Why are we trying to win the hearts of 6 boys, and then marrying one?
In case you can't get to the link for some reason, here are the pictures from the page:

Yeah, the mane six and the boys are humanized, and in my opinion, Applejack's hair is too light. It looks gray-ish.
More notes:
- In picture 1, apparently Twilight's library is now a pile of books with hipster glasses on it, Fluttershy's hut is now a tree, Pinkie lives in a cake castle, and Rarity now lives in a castle. Let's take a moment to congratulate Rarity, Pinkie, and possibly Fluttershy.
- I guess Applejack can marry Big Macintosh and her cousin Braeburn.
- I'm not sure who the chap in the suit is, but I guess it's Prince Blueblood.

And to point out the obvious: Yeah, the ponies don't look anything like FiM ponies. But uh... I... like their manes?

Another reason I call apple the work of the devil.These human forms look incredibly ugly , and it only promotes the stereotype that all women think about is boyfriends.The ponies don't look like MLP , and these humans are ugly.There are way better fans drawing human form.The real question is why you thought it understood us.Apple is only in it for the money.

I never thought they understood us. That's why I said that I don't think they understand bronies. I actually wanted to make the title "I don't think Apple understands what a brony is", but that was too long. X3

Apple distributes apps created by other companies and studios. They're not in the business of creating or advertising Pony-apps ;)

In this case, http://www.appsnminded.com are responsible.

What a coincidence that the absentminded is called appsnminded.Really close pronounciation.

They seem to make a lot of stuff aimed at girls, and things based on popular things girls like, such as One Direction. Somehow, I really don't think they did much research into the word "brony".

Just kill me now.

This was hilarious lol

This is not right! I don't like it. They don't understand bronies at all. In fact, I think they're making fun of us.

I agree with that statement. It's super stereotyped.

Yet another failed attempt at other markets trying to understand us for profit... good times.. good times...  lol

Six boyfriends? Nothing says harmony and morality like promoting infidelity and breaking five men's hearts when you decide which one to marry.

Did they remember to put an M rating on this?

Da heck is this lol.

Because the first thing we think about when hearing ponies is human dating simulators!

 lol I might actually get this on my Ipod to see how stupid it is during the storm  lol But in all seriousness, that is just odd  :I

It's so weird, and I'm still getting the ad on Facebook. lol
Go away, ad. I don't like you!

What.

Quote from: Tiger on 2012 Nov 01, 19:30:08
What.

Exactly.

At least Twilight's hair is... interesting. Seems pretty good. The only one whose hair I'm really not happy with is Applejack's because it's so light and pale that it looks almost gray. It should be like a golden blonde or something, not a dull sandy blonde.

Oh, and the fact that Applejack can marry her brother and cousin. That still really bothers me.

I also want to point out how bizarre of a choice Donut Joe was for a boyfriend. And I'm still confused as to who that purple-haired man in the suit is. It's not Prince Blueblood; he has blonde hair.

Oh yeah. Then, who in the daisies is he? o.O

And if the placement of the boys and the ponies in front of the houses in Picture 1 is any indication, I suppose they ship Donut Joe with Pinkie Pie just because he makes donuts and she makes pastries.
They also apparently support Big Mac and Fluttershy, Dashie and Soaren, Twilight and that jock pegasus, and... uh... Applejack and her cousin Braeburn.

I guess it could be this guy. Makes just as much sense as Donut Joe.

To be honest, though, he just looks like a gender bent Rarity.

Like they couldn't find a match for her for some reason (I wonder why? /sarcasm) and decided to just make a male version of her? Makes sense.

How is this a thing and why hasn't Hasbro gotten rid of it yet? :l

When I see stuff like this I wonder why people don't at least check some of their accuracy, I can't imagine how they came up with turning them all into humans. I wonder if they just thought the 90s when they worked on this as that was the only MLP show if I recall that had humans and ponies in the same world, or did others? o_o

I think they thought it'd be kinda weird to have a dating sim about ponies (though, there is a Japanese one about pigeons. o.O Can I get a lolwut?), so they just made them humans.

Pigeons...?  :I One fan of MC made a mob dating sim mod and turned creepers and stuff into humans, which is kind of odd.

I can see how some people would think a pony dating sim is odd too though.

"odd" is a matter of perspective when it comes to dating sims...

I guess so, I liked the Welcome to Ponyville act 1 fangame although it's more of an adventure with a story. I used to play Harvest Moon and Rune Factory.

Jeez...that looks so wrong well apple is anyway a alien so I think that say lot

Ok I kinda find this too girly for my taste. I mean seriously there humans  :I and I really don't like how they look either. It feels wrong just looking at it.

Ok, yuck. Those are really ugly.

I haven't found many uses for the  >A< emoticon yet, but... this is definitely one of them.

>A<

Android has a better bunch of fan made pony games like the Equestria daily and the Rainbow Dash cloud games

Quote from: Firey on 2012 Nov 27, 01:34:48

THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER AND SHOULD BE STRIPPED OF THE INTERNET FOR BRANDING PONIES AS GIRLY!
seriously this will only make people thing that boy pony fans are gay.  Which isn't true for most of us and is very insulting!
