I am actively offended that this poll expect Mountain Boys to all be in the "other" category. They were the only boy ponies I had as a child, and if they're not on the poll properly, it isn't a poll on favourite G1 boys. It's a poll on favourite G1 boys sold in the US and Canada. Which is not the same thing at all.Oh, I'm sorry :( I tried to include only the boys that were released in most countries -- I totally thought the ponies I listed were released in the UK, too! I feel kind of stupid for not including the Mountain Boys -- I love them, too, but if I included them, I figured I'd have to include Sports Time, Daddy Sunbright et al, maybe even the Mexican princes and Colombian and Spanish variations to be fair. Believe me, I wasn't trying to leave anyone out; I was trying to include everyone. I'm so sorry :( I was trying to be fair but I feel like this poll is a failure.

:cry: I'm so sorry. I was honestly just trying to list ponies who were available in most countries; instead I messed up and apparently only listed North American boys. I'm an idiot.I am actively offended that this poll expect Mountain Boys to all be in the "other" category.

Taffeta-- We should totally have a poll for favourite UK boy! And just rename this one to US boys. Personally I think the mountain boys would win by a landslide, they are too cool :cool:
That's a mountain out of a molehill if I've ever seen one! We're talking about 30 year old ponies, not oppressed minorities. It was Nobody's intention to "draw lines in the sand", certainly not Harunas. It's just a poll here on the fun and friendly arena, and putting Haruna down and feeling crappy about herself for not including every single boy pony is messed up. These are toys, and we are adults. No need to make a big deal about it, I have a really really hard time believing it's all a conspiracy.
Nobody is making out that it's a conspiracy. It evolved this way from the manner in which UK and European ponies first emerged into the pony community. I'm not blaming anyone for it being there (and I said clearly I wasn't attacking Haruna), but I just think that it's time that it wasn't there. The poll didn't create this, it illustrated something that is already here. As I think I said first of all, I was offended that they were not included because they were part of my childhood and it meant I couldn't participate in the poll. It's absolutely not ok for Haruna to be made to feel crappy, and if I did that then I apologise to her in all sincerity - but I also want to emphasise that their exclusion made me feel bad too, and that ought to matter as well.

I definitely don't think anyone wants you to feel like your opinions or feelings are irrelevant. It's mostly the dogged insistence on proving your point via sprawling walls of text even after Haruna has apologized multiple times and made it clear that she feels bad that is upsetting people at this point. We understand the issue you have and why your feelings are hurt, but at this point it'd probably be better to just make another thread -- possibly with its own poll. :) I say this as someone who has Ice Crystal as my favorite boy pony and would love to vote for him!
holy moly y'all they're just plastic horses :shocked:this :bigups:
