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
I am sorry about this blog, but anime as in japanese cartoons made in japan are under attack by western moral puritans, because it doesn't adhere to their moral standards. This strikes me as a very imperialistic mindset, not everyone has to adhere to our values.
5385099 How DARE you imply that tentacles are comparable to the beauty and elegance of fingers. Fingers hold a god given ability that tentacles can never replicate, they are nothing but a bastardized attempt to replicate their magnificence. Tentacles are only good for two things, eating and porn, and one can kill you if you eat it the wrong way. Meanwhile, fingers can be used for a lot of things, like eating, or porn! I hope that you won't speak such hearsay again!
zoidberg loves food. pinkie makes food. also shes durable enough to endure an alligator bite (toothless but still) so zoidbergs claws wouldnt do anyhting to her.
You should make one shipping him with Twilight. She starts out studying him, then falls for him.

Sounds good.
Given how reproduction works for his kind, this doesn't sound like it will end well for anyone.
I feel like Lyra would hate him just because he doesn't have fingers.
