Yes, yes he is. And the other main characters are just some girls, ya know?

@WonderPikachu12  
He’s just this guy, y’know?

@Align  
…yes, he IS Spike. I’m quite well aware of this fact. What’s your point?

@WonderPikachu12  
Yeah but I mean…
 
He’s Spike, y’know?

@Align  
Too bad for you, then, ’cause he is.

Keep dreaming, bronies.

“It’s Winter Wrap Up, Applejack, the heck are you bringing this up NOW?”

@Sjogre  
i can’t really think of spike as a main character

@Align  
Right, because Spike’s a girl.
 
Keep in mind, this is also the kind of show where you could reasonably expect the genders to be color coded.

@Sjogre  
if you’ve never seen (or heard of) tomboys…  
though to be fair the meta-knowledge of “this is aimed at little girls so all the main characters are going to be girls with 100% certainty” would’ve been enough for me

@Align  
It’s not like the guards had a speaking role. One could assume that Rainbow, the blue tough guy, was just a younger male.

@WatermelonRat  
chariot/palace guards were distinctly male though

AJ: You are a Stallion you date Mares.  
BM: Tell this to him.

@Align  
Well if it was their first episode watching it they wouldn’t know that mares and stallions have different snout shapes.

@BiggerMac  
Because it’s cute

@BiggerMac  
I’m guessing its partly cause people have already drew him that way… And partly (as depicted here), for the comedy effect…

Somepony should give Dash the reverse of this Memo….

@BiggerMac  
That’s how headcanon works. All the male stallions get gay shipping, some just happen get it more than others.

@Blayze Kohime  
what  
the body shape and facial structure didn’t clue you in?

@BiggerMac
 
Gay people never talk. That’s the thing.

Homophobic Applejack

caramel is a sissy so close enough

@Sjogre  
I honestly thought Rainbow Dash was male until the second episode.

Though I have no problem with people having their own headcanon, I really would like to know why and how Big Mac strikes people as being gay.
 
To me, Big Mac doesn’t have enough dialogue or screen time for someone to truly know him inside and out.

@NCPilot  
That’s because they started dated when each thought that the other was a stallion.
