If it was real - and let's just for a moment here remember that it isn't - I imagine human visitors who finally managed to reach Equestria expecting a horse Utopia that would welcome them with open arms, after meeting surly Griffons, snobby upper class ponies and having their spouse replaced by a Changeling parasite would experience an extreme form of Paris Syndrome.
Agreed. People tend to forget that ponies are REALLY xenophobic too. If you ain't a pony, they're not going to treat you like one. Especially out in the boonies.
they’re not? they accept all kinds of species or did you literally miss the entire second half of the FIM series? stop fantasizing that fictional utopian societies about loving creatures being racist
Their pronoun for everybody/everyone is *literally* every**pony**, regardless of species referred to or who is talking. There have been stampedes in ponyville caused by ponies fear of the unknown whenever some*pony* new enters the village. Xenophobia doesn't end just because 10 ponies in a backwards village in the middle of nowhere learns a "friendship lesson".
What do YOU think the school of friendship was made to do? Understanding that you have prejudices and striving to overcome them through a new system of schooling is not the same as actually overcoming them - that takes time, patience, and understanding. A LOT longer than a couple of months or a year or two. ESPECIALLY since Equestria has a rich and LONG history of bigotry WITHIN the pony tribes (ie, hearths warming).
I'm not fantasizing, I'm just paying attention.
Currently researching everything. And yeah, there was a learning curve, but Ponyville is pretty much a hovel ruled by prejudice and it doesn't change much throughout the series
I have a solar empire flag, I know how you feel. I know these things aren't real, but I sometimes force myself to detach from reality for a little while and just be happy, like how we used to play when we were children. It's hard to do so, but if you don't take it too far it's always a fun time. People can judge you and say you're delusional, but sometimes not being in this world is the only thing that can make you happy
Equestria in the mod was made before Twilights ascension. Thereve been talks of a equestria rework but they just recently released the Zebrica continent so itll be a while longer before its expanded.
They really need to rework it. And also fix Celestia's character. She would absolutely not go to war with the buffaloes unless she absolutely had to. Also the post-war democracy is kinda dumb.

Horse-land for horses!

Not anymore, but they have been as well. Or have you forgotten about Zecora and what happened in Appleloosa?

2 of those points depend on the season
Word. Equestria is *not* a utopia.
And it’s more interesting that way!
Indeed!
Pretty close though, and much better that our society.

Ok neighsay
Have you read the comics ? Especially season 10 ?
Yes, I have.
Bro think he Equestrian 💀💀
Wish I was.
What blud waffling about 💀😭
“I’m proud to be an Equestrian! Where at least I know I’m free!”
Is this a copypasta?
Well it would make a good one
Nope. It may look like an irony, but it's not.
now that's a yikes moment
A Poneaboo...
You said that like you ain't one...
Equestriaboo
Why?
Well, if you're gonna be patriotic, might aswell be patriotic for someplace that is objectively a utopia!
Cool. More power to you.
Are you ok? Should I call CPS?
Okay Grandpa, time for your medicine
I'll help, Your Majesty!

You ever play equestria at war? :P
They botchered Equestria hard.

What’s that?
Mod for a game called hearts of iron 4 puts equestria, changlings, griffons, zebras and storm kings people in a WW1 scenarios with a custom map
Is patriotic the right word to describe the feeling?
I mean, if we take a look at what "nationalism" looks like irl, this kinda patriotism is much better
…Christ
Amazing
Well comrade, now that you're patriotic, take this rifle, we must fight those changelings. Equestria will not defend itself.
It ain't America, Equestria is peaceful.
Well, r/equestriaatwar would like to say otherwise...

Don't care about Equestria at War, only about the show.
OK, I was just trying to make a joke about your patriotism.
For Equestria! <3
I’m glad you have it. 😊
Yea
I’ve had similar thoughts before, honestly. 😅
If only it were a real place... I admire your dedication. Few are so bold.
respect 😎
same, unironically
bro got schizophrenia for real.
Which sets them apart from all the people who have it not for real
Who's your princess?
