>>/8352/ > Earth Pony I would lean in that direction too. Though I am going to come up with lore related explanations anyway! > Discord. Agree here though. >>/8364/ Probably referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_test >>/8355/ I like this logic. If I understand you correctly. The Earth Pony has unicorn parents (or at least a parent) and has to live with the same prejudices. I wonder if ponies born of wrong races for their tribes would try to rationalize themselves as being part of the bigger tribe. I assume naturally this would not have lasted if I go by what we see in the future. Though, far too much interbreeding existed for anything sort of a ruthless genocide to have wiped it from the population. Remanent populations I imagine would survive somewhere. >>/8356/ > Also, Discord is, as Sunny points out, something of an unreliable narrator. Also a good point. > TBH I think the correct solution IS to destroy the crystals; they're containers not an actual source. That would be a interesting take to turn the plot. Though, it leave it that Twilight Sparkle made a major mistake...
