It looks like this is the origin – an early draft of the DVD press materials. Were I to guess, they probably switched back to the Equestrian names to avoid trademark problems…
I wouldn’t be surprised, though, if the ‘actual’ characters in the EqG-verse have non-racehorse names, and the portal is doing some pretty serious automatic translations for Twilight Sparkle’s and Sunset Shimmer’s benefit. After all, the characters back in Equestria probably sound like this in ‘reality’…
tv tropes and fanfiction.
How did that shit even start?
Oh yeah, I went there. :P
I like that.
And I like ambiguously brown Twilight.
I find it funny that you considered this Twilight black because her skin is somewhat darker than the others.
At any rate, there are many blacks in western society…
That still doesnt mean that Twilight has to be black, white or Asian. In fact, it doesn’t mean that any character has to be black skin or white skin.
These kinds of arguments is one of the reasons I support Equestria Girls in the first place.
The difference is, your argument doesn’t really have merit.
Equestria is clearly based on a western monarchy, mostly Britain in the pre-parliament days, except with a Princess instead of a queen. Ergo, it’s more reasonable to assume a more Caucasian appearance.
Zecora is a Zebra, specifically a Mountain Zebra, and would almost certainly be of African descent if humanized because Zebras are only native to one continent.
See what I did there? I took an asinine statement, applied it to everything instead of one specific instance, and used it against a sanctimonious asshole
I still don’t get it why every character has to be white.
See what I did there? I took your question, twisted it and used it against you.
