I'm not saying that they should genderswap the show, it's just that I've seen a TON of hate towards people who just wanted to draw some goofy male pony fanart or write a silly little fanfiction- most of it with a decidedly SJW-ish bent, and by that I mean raging, frothing-at-the-mouth, grab the torch and pitchfork sort of thing.
Personally I'm pretty live-and-let-live about this sort of thing. I like the show as-is, I like the genderswapped fanworks. I think it could be really interesting to figure out what a male Rarity or a male Fluttershy would be like, or male Cutie Mark Crusaders.
By the way, have you read On A Cross and an Arrow? It's a fic where the main cast accidentally ends up in a world where everyone is genderswapped, and they meet the guy versions of themselves. It's really good, one of my favorite fics out of any fandom, ever.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-21 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)It's important to make a distinction between people who point out social justice issues and social justice WARRIORS.
Funny, I have seen more hate for the genderswaps coming from really rabid "f/f is hot, m/m is horrible" type of fans, not from SJers.
I personally like the male version of Rarity a lot. I just don't like that the fandom has pretty much agreed on that he should be gay. Because how dare a man be dramatic and into fashion without wanting to bang other men.
And no, I haven't read that fanfic because I'm not big on reading fanfic about MLP ^^#

And yeah, I agree with you on that. I personally can see male Rarity being really into fashion, but not necessarily being gay- maybe he just likes to look classy and hates it when others don't look nice, either? :P
