i might as well get this off my chest before the retarded schizo completely poisons the well.
i think i've finally distilled what it is i actually hate about snowpity and marespam: what i want out of ponies is something very different to what snowpityfags and mareschizos do.
i want a living, breathing equestria, filled with ponies of all kinds: young and old, male and female, every race, every color, every disposition and personality, all with their own story to tell. a lot of /mlp/, it turns out, does not want this. they want cute mares doing cute things, and nothing more.
depending on the individual, male characters may range from simply being completely devoid of the appeal they're looking for, to being an active obstacle to enjoying the mares. so, ignoring they exist altogether has become the marefag default state of being when engaging with mareschizo behavior or snowpity culture. and the popularity of those things has caused both /mlp/'s oc, and ocs to have a near 100% female bias. to the average marefag, this is ideal, but to me, it just feels like a giant gaping void where all the colts and stallions should be.
don't get me wrong, i love mares and fillies. aesthetically, i prefer them to their male counterparts. but equestria, or any pony setting for that matter, doesn't feel complete without both.
on that topic, stallionfags don't get a free pass either. the only difference between them and marefags is that they're a minority, and thus don't have the numbers to dominate /mlp/'s culture in the way marefags do, and so they settle. they dream of an all male equestria just as marefags dream of an all female equestria.
but back to snowpity: it truly is nothing more than a ponified version of moe, and the marexclusivity so much of this board desires: nothing more than cgdct. but that's not what g4 is. g4 is far, far closer to my ideal of a living equestria filled with all types of ponies. what snowpityfags actually want, is g3. that show actually was cute mares doing cute things and nothing more. but nobody cares about g3, so they try to turn g4 into g3. they take g4's equestria and chop away at it until it resembles the cmdct world they actually want.
and from that truncation, it spreads, changing language and culture. background pony becomes background mare, "who's your favorite pony?" becomes "who's your favorite mare?", "i love ponies!" becomes "i love mares!". slowly but surely, deliberate exclusions become the norm, the default, and the gaping void grows.
i am a true ponyfag, i love ponies of all kinds, and i always will. i reject the semi-recent cultural shift of passively limiting which ponies are included in common speech. i push for the inclusion of stallions not because i prefer them to mares, but because i strongly prefer having both to having just one. to an extent i get it, but it's still a push against what i love about ponies. i will never be a marefag, nor a stallionfag, fillyfag or coltfag. but i will always be a ponyfag.
