Just think about it, you and a couple of friends are watching classic South Park or something edgy. And then, some person comes who's not even a fan of it, demands changes (censorship) or outright turns off the program. Just why do people do this? Why do they ruin everyone's fun?
Seriously, they are. This is by far the most important issue, if they made their asses fatter it would improve viewership. If they made the ponies thicc prudes would complain, which would only draw in even more viewers. Twilight Sparkle, the protagonist of the series has a fat ass, and her teacher Princess Celestia, who's ass is even fatter.
The main reason is uncanny valley. When something looks human but not quite. A perfect example would be a robot trying to mimic being human, it looks unsettling. It's somewhat insulting towards the ponies, you have Twilight Sparkle there a beautiful unicorn and you can't embrace her just because she's not fully in human shape, even though she has all the qualifications to be a sapient-minded
Anthro is fine depending on how far up or down you go with said anthropomorphism. Then again if you speaking from a story only standpoint, then pony for sure. If art, so long as its done well I dont care either way.
Edit: But in all seriousness, I'm ambivalent. Though, personally, I like to write anthro a bit more than pone. I am all about the behind, but I do like to see some breasts bouncing in my face too.
I like pony better because it stays true to the source material, and it is easier to read (don't need a paragraph to describe clothing in every scene) but it won't stop me from reading a good anthro story. I'll just pretend they are ponies and ignore any non-pony descriptions and mentally rewrite any fun scenes.

Anthro. Reason? A lot more fuckable.

Heresy! Pony butts best butts!
Hmm, hard to say. If it's just a normal story, then ponies.
Anthro is best for sexy times and for people who have a hard time writing quadrupeds, but still want to retain some of that pony-ness.
Both I would not kick ether one out of bed for eating crackers .
Im not apposed to ether really. But I do trend more twords anthro.
I'm more towards anthro, but that's mostly because I have an easier time writing action scenes, and the like in them.
I'm not opposed to pony though, but anthro provides me a more easily usable narrative for what I want.
Plus, some kinds of animals don't work as well, when I go Pure Pony.
I lean more toward pony pony pony.

I honestly have no preference between the two.
I just prefer either over fully humanised.
Doesn't matter to me as long as I can eat their love
If a new story sounds good but is anthro, I'm still more likely to hit that x close button than to read the story.
Pone!
Pony, like to keep to the original
Yes.

Question: which is the most comfortable? Anthro asses or pony asses?
The obvious answer is Anthro asses.
anthro is fucking weird
Anthro is my choice. rather see tits on the chest than the "lower section".
I like both depending my mood
I like anthro more. Mainly because I've been a furry for quite a while and besides, How can you not love anthro pones? :3
