Imagine Being A Child In Equestria · 6:31pm Apr 24th, 2019
When you tell your parents there's monsters under the bed, they call the police. Then the police come and get chased around by a manticore or dragon or changeling or whatever other horrible monstrosity is lurking in your room. I bet children in Equestria sleep with their parents until they're about fifteen.
That's to say nothing of the fact that the wilderness is basically death forests where everything living there is actively trying to murder you. No wonder Equestrian foals grow up to be so screwed up in the head.
"Go out to play dear! Now, if you come back alive, I'm making haycakes for supper."

Lol. Just wait until the Daryl Chemical Co. gets there (seriously, ROTLDxMLP is a crossover I'd love to see
)! XD
So basically Equestira exists in a reality with the same rules as most RPGs with monsters aplenty
Before becoming a brony I wrote dragon stories. In my universe dragons stayed with their parents until they were past 25 and the family often slept close together. Their world was violent as dragons are naturally violent creatures.

That's a really cute idea, cuddling dragons.
I'd say it's probably an exaggerated version of the urban/rural divide
that fuels so many gun control arguments. Living in Manehattan or Fillydelphia the only place you might see monsters is at the zoo, but remote villages are a different story. One or two are wiped out each century...5270587
Urbans: We need sword control!
Rurals: But if we do that, we won't be able to defend ourselves and literally all be eaten.

Course, having a sword might encourage you to run towards the monster rather than away.
I wonder if there's a division of the Guard which deals with problem monsters. (As their job, not just stepping in to help like the Wonderbolts did against Spike.)

That'd be a fun story.
