Least fave big brother pony?

[poniesthatsparkle]

Quarterback for me. I think his color scheme is boring.

[BubbleTea]

uhhhhhhhhh unpopular opinion but I don't really like this set because:

A) gender stereotypes

B) I don't collect pink sparkly ponies for there to be mAnLy ones. I prefer how g2 dealt with male ponies by incorporating them into normal sets and making them androgynous (horses irl don't have sexual dimorphism. Silly Hasbro  )

My least favorite is probably Wigwam because even though I do like his colors the cultural appropriation isn't cute. Also Quarterback because sports.

Probably Slugger and Quarterback are my least favourites, because I'm just not a sports fan. I like the others, especially their accessories! Tex and Barnacle are my favourites.

I think it would be Slugger or Steamer for me. I know they are pink. I guess it doesnt do it for me. I like the other colors the BB are in. I kinda even like fireball though he should of been more red.

For me it’s Barnacle, I simply just don’t like the color scheme.

I like them all but if I had to pick a least favorite I'd go with Chief.

I still like the set but i agree that the gender stereotypes don't hold up well today.  And while i also like the color scheme Wigwam makes me cringe today.

Tex is my favorite because I live in Texas and I like the cowboy theme.

I think it's dumb to complain about gender stereotypes. It's no worse then when people gripe about MLP being girly.

You don't hafta demonize every single thing. Its a rigid and unhealthy mindset.

Some girls like pink and dolls. Some boys like blue and sports.

Sorry but I'm sick and tired of offense and outrage culture actively looking for things to complain about. Its extremely petty.

[Broken Irishwoman]

^ This! It really is extreme these days.

Absolutely, couldn't agree more.

It's perfectly valid to criticize sexist stereotypes. And it's of course also ok to like something, while acknowledging there are parts that could be harmful. Ignoring these things would be truly unhealthy.

No one is looking for things to be offended about, people don't work like that. Some people might just be bothered by things that don't bother you as much, due to different personal experiences. I think it's better to try and have some empathy than deciding people are unreasonable and petty. Girls liking pink/dolls and boys liking blue/sports is the social norm and not something that needs to be defended. It's those who don't follow the social norms that are marginalized.

I don't want to derail the thread and get in trouble, but if you would like to discuss our thoughts on the subject further, we can pm.

Back OT:
Anyway, most of the Big Bros rock.

[Ribbs]

Quarterback. Too similar to Tux N Tails.

I'm good thanks. I don't really have much more to say on it, and it's not why I come here in the first place.

One thing though. Before you edited your post you said you thought the criticisms made in this thread were within reason, and that your "people are too offended these days" post was not directed at anyone here. I think that's important to clarify, since anyone who said they didn't like the stereotypes in this set are going to feel your words were directed at them. (As well as everyone chiming in only to agree with you without adding anything else to the conversation. It can easily come off like bullying.)

It looks like Quarterback is a common choice and this surprises me.  I really ike his monochromatic color scheme and thought more people would too in the way people like Blueberry Baskets and Angel.
