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.
Since dinosaurs seemed to be birds. (What we recently found out) Do you think instead of that famous roar like the T-Rex from Jurassic Park, we would really just hear big angry chicken sounds? Does that make them even more terrifying or funny?
Apparently we now think that Big T was covered in down as a baby and then shed it as it grew large enough that it didn't need insulation anymore. I'm imagining an adorable baby T-rex that's still taller than I am (and I'm not a short man!)
Some say that T. rex couldn't roar, only making rumbling noises instead. I think that a big predator that doesn't make loud sounds is a bit more scarier.
Considering that dinosaurs were covered in feathers and are the inspiration of the modern concept of dragons, I propose a change(please not that I did not draw the image nor do I claim ownership of said image) https://twitter.com/jjcelery/status/1336039322143879172

Probably scary because I have a small fear of chickens
Aaaaaaaand now I have a mental image of the T-rex roaring at the end of the original movie but a rooster's crow is coming out instead....

I imagine it to be a very deep version. A rooster's roar on steroids.
Terrifying! Have you ever met an angry bird before, those fuckers are scary!

And these ones would be huge.

Or maybe just a really loud quack.
