You're not god, Lauren Pretty sure it was the brony fanbase that did that...Nope, it was her http://mlpfanart.wikia.com/wiki/Lauren_Faust

So I am unsure which bits of this are unpopular opinions, but this statement of Faust's (I'm copying from Wiki, if it's misquoted or misattributed then that's my disclaimer) about the original MLP animation being "endless tea parties, giggled over nothing and defeated villains by either sharing with them or crying".Faust basically created a series that was everything she hated about G1 animation. And most of those reasons, especially the obsessive need to befriend everything, is why I couldn't ever get into FIM.
and don't even get me started on "cutie mark". They weren't called that back in MY day....
I checked out G4 because so many people were going nuts over it ... and I don't quite see what they see? Sure, it looks nice, and it can be funny at times, but I'm not seeing the groundbreaking aspects people gush over. Twilight I actually thought was a stand-in quite a few times; she reads like someone's overcompensating OC and when I noticed a closeness in hair-style to Faust ... that's probably a giant coincidence considering how many different mane styles there could possibly be but I couldn't unsee it. I laughed at the idea of her proving that 'anyone' could be a Princess. Yeah, no, she has had every available advantage going for her and was groomed practically from birth (or when she had that Deus Ex Magica moment) to be a Princess.Faust honestly gets too much worship compared to the other minds behind MLP through the generations.
According to brony-haters, FiM-Haters and sometimes even My Little Pony-haters we (myself and other bronies) are supposed to treat Lauren like God, but I have yet to see any of this...Quote from: Zapper on July 20, 2017, 01:09:28 PMAlso dislike that she pony-fied herself as an alicorn. You're not god, Lauren She was never trying to be, it's not even a "supernatural" maned alicorn, and it was probably done before the stigmatism of alicorn-OCs happened. It is so rare I see anyone in the brony fandom actually complain about an alicorn OC these days, that when someone finally does complain about one, it seems so out of the blue, and I'm like "Really, I thought we were done with that?"Even with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna in mind, I don't think it entered her head that the fans thought that alicorns were godlike (which for the record, I don't think they are) - the idea what they were was all the fandom, as far as I can see. I honestly think it was all done innocently - I mean, it's not even a character. Maybe she just really liked how alicorns looked?
Looks like I hit a nerve, but in the earliest interviews Faust had stated that the idea of an alicorn or "winged unicorn" ruler came to her mind because as a design choice it united all three types of ponies into one.And the alicorns are the most powerful ponies, or at least they were supposed to be in the first season that she developped.Take out my word choice of "god" and replace it with "most powerful" or "best of the ponies" or "ruler" and you may understand my Unpopular Opinion. You're speculating about her intentions just like everyone else in here. No need to take everything so personally
Lauren Faust is full of crap.She certainly did not invent alicorns. Winged Unicorns, have been around way before MLP.I don't get where she gets the endless tea party crap from? I mean Tales had a couple if I remember correctly, but that's not all they did Every episode. Plus the Tales ponies are flawed and feisty.
I didn't like Dream Beauties when I was little. I only had one and I think I remember feeling like she was too big to be played with my other My Little PoniesPonyfan
One of my unpopular opinions is, I don't get the big deal over Tux n Tails. He's kinda dull, plus we have waaay too many blue and white boy ponies. Like, couldn't they have come in colors other then mostly pink and blue? This extends to his three wives. Satin n Lace is just a boring pony.

Satin n Lace is just a boring pony.Ah that made me laugh out loud. Forget Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, it's Tux & Tails & the Three Wives. Magenta Satin is a really nice colour though.It reminds me of a scene from my mediaeval Japanese text where a guy can't decide who his principal wife is and the two women end up having a full on scrap in the street because of it.Going back on topic, the earlier stuff reminded me of another unpopular opinion. Please let's not have this one reacted to the same as the last but...I don't like alicorns. I don't even like the word :/

Magenta Satin is a really nice colour though.I like winged unicorns, but I really really hate the term "alicorn". (Unpopular opinion: I don't really care for the whole "alicorns are ~*super powerful goddesses*~!" thing. I wish we had more of them, and I don't care if they're in the show or not. Sterling and Gold Lily are two of my favourite G4s.)
