Intriguing approach

To the modesty charm? Actually saw it in another old fic once.

Love the world building.

Rainbow is getting a little familiar!
I lolled on how his mom called her out on that!

At least its not "overwear"

11812408
Oh I loathe ’overwear’ just wear clothes at that point.

? Not a charm in that one though it's an inherent magic ability that most equestrians have and the ones that don't have it wear clothes.
It's been my personal favorite explanation for a while now.

Rainbow was very close but didn’t bump into invisible wings. Close call, Dawn. (I forgot if they’re intangible and invisible.) She didn’t deny the flirting either.

Keep trying, Shy.

Getting started is the hardest part of business. Don’t give up, Rarity.

Dawn can feel earth pony magic? He’s got some experienced teachers very close by.

Or have societal expectations regarding seeing things

11812362
I think i read one too.

I think it was something like “humans have no modesty” or something like that.

Nice

Now Bloom you shouldn’t expect a colt to carry ya around

Wait is this reversed gender thing again?

11812990
Yeah, this is an RGRE I just not an in your face one, yet, since the MC is still young.

11812408
What's that?

11813146
‘Overwear’ is used as in explanation in some fics for how ponies are not actually naked all the time. It’s clothing that exactly match a creatures own fur to cover up with.

11813161
That's sounds so weird
Imagine a human with skin pants

So why bother with modesty charms at all?
I don't think ponies would really care much about nudity

11812996
I don't really care to be honest if anything it's amusing most of the time...other times it's real annoying try to figure out what the hell is going on.

This makes character's like big Mac and Bulk Biceps the male equivalent of an Amazonian while also by that logic Rarity ironically the least 'mare' like out of the big 6

11813166
The charm is to keep things more civilized since ponies aren’t simple animals that want to always be showing off their junk in public however they also don’t want to be stuck wearing clothing. It’s not against the law or anything to be without the charm but a mare might be seen as trying to hard to win over stallions if she’s walking around town ‘presenting’ like that.

11813357
That's perfectly fine
Just trying to wrap my head around how a species that goes around nude all the time cares this much about genitals

But I suppose humans don't make much sense either with their so called "clothes"

11812362
Pretty sure the whole modestly charm was invented by Faust herself when a fan asked how ponies reproduced.
11812500
Pretty sure this is what her explanation was.

I’m wondering how long poor lyra is going to have to wait b4 dawn finally tells her he used to be human too.

11816652
Ok

Guess AB is a growing filly, he used to carry her just fine without earth pony strength just a few months ago,..

Maybe it's just because Dawn is usually at school, but it still feels weird when Dawn calls Pear mom or AJ/Mac/Bloom calls Dew/Breezy mom

So, um
Will there be an explanation to why the universe lagged so badly when Dawn exploded into an alicorn?

The modesty charm thing surprised me, mainly because I don't think a society that never had a need for clothes would oversexualize people's bodies the way many of our own cultures do?

Granted, when you consider this world exists in parallel to an earth-like world where such modesty would exist, it kinda makes sense it would develop in some form on both sides of the mirror. Hell, even the mirror understands the importance of covering up, it gives anyone who passes through it free clothes XD
