From what I see, most of the "desirable" men according to demographics trend towards either Confident Men or Woobies (Seme-Uke drift?).

[up][up]Aw, that's OK.

And tell the truth, I might be less bothered if there was more sexy male humanizations.

I'm a big fan of equality.

[up] Hey, that's personality. I'm just talking about physical appearance. I'm awfully shallow, you see.

I agree 100% we need more sexy males to humanize in this show :P

I got my hopes up with Shinning Armor and King Sombra but...

@Condo: *shrug* Admittedly, I've never seen that justification given by any fanartists; it's strictly my headcanon. I personally don't think it's a case of starting at the end and looking for justification, but I'm not exactly an objective observer in this case.

Anyway, I'm also attracted to guys, so I guess I can offer my opinion on that too? Maybe?

Human!AJ

human!Sombra

For me, it's their character that plays a big part of their attractiveness. AJ's a relatively welcoming and personable if stubborn ranch girl, Twi's a cute and adorkable bookworm, Rarity has class and is a Real Lady, Dashie's a rough-and-tumble tomboy with a bit of cuteness rounding out her edges, and Pinkie is just so happy :D Also Fluttershy is adorable.

I bet Shining Armor would look like a Disney Prince.

Maybe Prince Eric.

In all honest, the humanizations probably come down to Author Appeal. People are going to want to draw the characters how they think they should look, and given that all the ponies have the same body type, there's really no basis for giving any particular character a particular humanized body type beyond "I imagine the character would look this way."

Also, I'll also say I think that Buxom Is Better is a load of crap; size is irrelevant. And I agree with Ace insofar as I care a lot more about personality anyway. When I look at humanizations I tend think more along the lines of "how well does this capture the character" rather than "how attractive are they".

EDIT: Also, I love how every artist agrees that Sombra has to have enormous sideburns.

Ah, pony boobs. It's been so long. tongue

Yeah, I'm not JUST looking for boobs or whatever. I want them to have some personality as well.

[up][up]That's how it should work, anyway.

[up] And I know personality plays a big part. I was just kidding about the shallow comment — I'm not that much of an asshole.

Besides if I wanted moeblobs I can get them a dime-a-dozen from the budget anime pile (Yes there is a difference between good and bad anime, good anime is genuinely interesting, while most bad anime is either leaning heavily on the lolfanservice or should never be imported).

It's genuinely FASCINATING to see how the fandom extrapolates the extended facets of a character, because you get a whole spectrum of fanon that makes for an interesting psych survey of sorts :V

I agree that the fanon is fascinating.

I have not watched much anime, but there seemed to be a disproportionate amount of busty women around. It annoyed me.

Sombra is first pony with red eyes? I mean real red eyes not magenta or something?
Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe.

This might sound odd...but speaking of earlier...I'm also curious about how males can be seen as attractive. It's for that webcomic y'see. I want to know which of the lads will be Mr. Fanservice...and which will not. tongue

I like examining fanon as well. - I like to make up theories for the hell of it.

Rainrad is actually one of the only theories I made up which I take somewhat seriously.

These days less so, instead they go more for slender with toned legs and hips and accentuate with Zettai Ryouiki.

@Con: It really depends on the series. Unfortunately Moe fanservice series' are really big at the moment. Still, there's stuff out there that doesn't focus too much on that. Fullmetal Alchemist is a good example, if you haven't already looked at it.

@Applelight: I got nothing. I don't understand it either.

Every medium has a disproportionate amount of pandering to the lowest common denominator. The good stuff tends either not to have much fanservice at all(Sora No Woto) or to have mitigating factors, like Yoko's sheer badassery.

^This, generally.

@applight: Well, youth is a plus.

Could always model him after young Marlon Brando.

Or young Leonardo DiCaprio. He was adorable.

Cause you see, there is more than one way to be attractive.

It's hard to explain. But if they're ponies, it could be hard to tell. Like, a pony can't look like Brad Pitt, you know? And cartoons are different.

I don't know how helpful any of that is.
