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
I could dig it. Although it's mostly head-canon, most stories view the princesses as being at least as fast as Dash, if not more so, which Celestia would need in order to visit every house in one night. Plus she could use magic to turn the sack of presents into a bag of holding with more space on the inside, to actually hold the number of presents necessary to do it. She has the ability to do it, but I don't know about the motivation for it. Equestria is pretty utopian overall, and the princesses are living deities (or nearly such) who walk around, so would the citizenry need an imaginary religious figure to believe in like that?
Eh, Santa is already usually thought of as morbidly obese and probably just teleports his way in, being Celestia just makes that explicit. (It's not actually clear whether she's overweight, because the charts stop before they get to her frankly preposterous height.)
5421773 Well. She could do it as sign of 'good will' to humans. Since we don't have any Santa. And you know, how OP I make my Celestia in my stories, so she could do it.
5421728 A big fluffy horse would also be a nicer thing to see than a big fat man like Santa.
5421749 Maybe. But perhaps she need to turned into alicorn somehow.
5421904 True. But I make Celestia extra thick in my stories overall.
A rather tight pinch.
But if Santa could do it,
then so could The Grinch.
Luna's more the Santa type.
What about Pinkie Pie? She’s able to defy the laws of physics no problem, same as Santa does.
