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.
The Monolith Monsters, 1957. Old black and white Sci-Fi/"Horror". By the title and age alone you would expect a campy movie, but turns out it is quite good and a fun watch. Pain in the ass to find to watch these days.
How old we talking? Official classification of 'classic' (late 60's to early 80's), Silver Screen classic (anything from around the time when Elisabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn were in their prime) or Golden Age of Cinema (Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, etc)?
Casablanca
The Most Dangerous Game
